Might just be because I grew up with the SNES version, but I found I prefer most of the tracks from it to their original Arcade counterparts. https://www.youtu

The arcade version clearly has more layers to it which make it more interesting, but the instruments just sound too MIDI to me. I kinda wish there had been some version with all of the arcade's layers but the SNES chip's soundfonts.
- city41 5y agoThis is most likely because the SNES's audio was entire ADPCM based. The CPS1 was basically doing MIDI, while all audio on the SNES was done with samples, and so the samples could be made to sound more realistic than typical MIDI.
- jbverschoor 5y agoThe SNES sound is has less midtones, so it sounds more crisp (ala disco smile). And to me it also sounds a bit more smooth. The general mix is just balanced better, layers are more separated, and you can actually enjoy the bassline
