Samurai Shodown / Spirits (Game Gear) (12.9.94)
The Game Gear version was quite colorful, but pretty much all of the graphical elements were simply shrunken down rather than being redrawn to accommodate the smaller display. This was even considered a feature in the package's marketing, though pretty much all fighters for the rudimentary portable hardware of the 80s through late 90s were better received when making use of a super deformed art style. Backgrounds featuring static images of the crowds look particularly awkward.
A meeting of the Samurai Spirits! Superior white hot fencing action, along with the character's "real size" make it to the Game Gear version.
