@@iim4xii129 The sprite work of him prancing was difficult to cover. You can put a cowboy suit, or a soldier on him and it would've still been a offensive take on stereotypical gay men back in the 90s hence why he was removed. His own boss track is even removed from BR3.
You forgot the biggest difference in my opinion : ennemies in SoR3 have way more life than in BK3. Just look at the intro where they fight the twin sisters : in JP version each sister has only one life bar, in US/EU they each have a double life bar. Game is fair in JP version, and unfair and boring in US version.
They didn't remove Ash entirely out of SOR3, they just dummied him out. All of his data is still in the game's data. You can hear his feminine laugh and his theme in the sound test, and you can actually play as him with a game genie code.
Arckane Men the story was changed for one, characters with skin exposed covered, color palettes for Axel, Skate, Blaze, Roo, & Shiva changed, Ash cut from the game and unlocked through the game genie, the police chief replaced the general from Bare Knuckle III, the robot chief plot added for Streets of Rage III, easy ending added doesn't exist in Bare Knuckle III, voices of Axel, Blaze, Skate, & Shiva's attacks re-recorded, & lasty cut scenes like the city destroyed by nuclear blast at the intro & ending cut from Streets of Rage III
The worse is that they censored the game so much at the time and they sold it at full price, and Sega are not the only ones, every company did. Thanks to the Internet, we can now know about this, and also order the right games ! Thanks for the video !
i dont like how american version messed with the original colors of Axel and Blaze also that kickass opening is missing from NA release ... i mean why? was it too violent for american kids?
As for the part where it shows Axel put on his headband and turns to punch the screen...I heard that was a tracing over of a scene in one of the Rambo movies, so maybe to avoid a possible lawsuit?

Old days in meddle east we got the Japanese version first.. after years when we got the PC emulators I noticed the difference between them.. I liked the Japanese version Bare Knuckles 3 but I was happy to read the story lol
The story was apparently very different between regions too, haha. In the Japanese version is was very catastrophic with millions of people at risk, in EU/US it was basically a town and a governor.
Japanese version, Japan is at risk of nuclear destruction at syndicate hands. American version, New York is experiencing a mass bombing, and the crew must figure out what's going on.
@@Onmysheet I only found out today, but yes! Have a look at the game on the virtual shelf and it's on the bottom right and you change it with the left stick. Really happy to see this, the Japanese version really is so much better!
I don't like the yellow shirt that Axel has but I do like Blaze's white clothes. I assume they changed it so they can have different looks like some time has passed and they aren't going to be wearing the same clothes. Though I am disappointed that they removed Ash altogether and the intro
I always remember reading it in a games mag back in the day, the reason? The clothes were changed to be "gender neutral". Whatever the f'k they mean by that.
yes, SOR3 is much harder, but for all the wrong reasons. Bare Knuckle 3 is the definite canon version for the third installment and very enjoyable to play.
Only just played the JP version and it's far superior to the EU version. I was never a fan of the different colours of Axle and Blaze and I'm sure Axle is faster in the JP version to the EU
I grew up with the American version and my god, what a pain in the ass that was. I've always wondered how did the difficulty jumped so high from what it was in SOR2 and now I see it, it wasn't supposed to be that way. Bare Knuckle is overall more fair but I still prefer SOR3.
I had a atgames console and I found out Abt the streets of rage games this way and except for one time when I got to stage 3 and died at robot axel (cause I was 7 and ass) there was something Abt sor 3 that just drew me back never got mad until Mona and Lisa Just the running, no losing health and for some reason the clothes just drew me back again and again
Can someone explain what the hard differences between versions? Why SoR3 consider harder? And can you somehow play in SoR3 with replaced from Bk3 sprites?
La versión japonesa es mejor, más intro, mejores vestimentas, faltó en ambas las gráficas y música de su predecesor, aún así es la mejor versión de las tres.
The music in sor 3 was to set a theme theme for the story, a shadowy syndicate creating robots and blowing up the city. Sor 2 just had an independent music team whose job was just to create music for every level. That's why the composer from sor2 chose not to return to sor3. He was bound to a format.
In my opinion, I see the American version is better and I enjoy it more than the Japanese version because of its difficulty and great challenge, unlike the Japanese version, which is very easy, and one thing that the Japanese version excels in is the clothes of the characters
The Japanese version is the best as it is the only version untouched since the others are ports of it. I’m really upset they changed palettes for the characters and covered up the female enemies. Like wtf. Censoring at its finest. I wouldn’t have mind that if the US version wasn’t pure shit. I couldn’t beat it as a kid it was too damn hard.
For the Euro/English release Sega Europe actually noticed the UK Game Magazine "Mean Machines Sega" did cover art for their preview. They actually bought the artwork to use it for the release and it's better than the US version.
Cómo me hubiera gustado que incluyeran a Ash en la ver. Americana casi me muero de la risa cuando lo vi por primera vez hubiera sido un plus en aquélla época
You were originally going to ride a motorcycle but it was cut in final version. However you can ride it by cheat code, but be warned it's not fully complete animate and quite buggy.
Well, the different costume palettes can go that basically I like Blaze dressed in white. As I like the idea of putting leggings on punk warriors for an aesthetic fact, but removing the gay fighter this is homophobia and Elettra dressed in a jacket and jeans, which even in the first one was censored makes no sense. Luckily there are no stupid complaints in Street of Rage 4.
And the enemies do more damage the higher the difficulty (2 player mode also increases the damage the enemies do). There are a couple other harder difficulties that were dummied out that can be accessed by hex editing (maybe also Game Genie codes?) and I kid you not, one hit from the enemies with 2 players drains 90-95% of your health on the highest difficulty.
SOR3 wouldn't be so bad if they had better damage control, a single jab from an enemy takes a quarter of your energy bar which is utterly ridiculous SMH!!! BK III has better gameplay and reasonable damage control!!!
Clearly, the Japanese version is the better one. But there is a cheat in the US version like Super Zan or Super Axel which can help you plow through the game easily.
Eu acho que faz mais sentido se vc jogar Bare knuckle III primeiro. por que, streets of rage 3 e pra ser uma continuaçao por exemplo: no comeco do streets of rage 3, o axel vai ficar falando que o zan estava certo sobre a bomba. e vc se perguntando: Mas que bomba? do que eles tao falando? no bare knuckle 3 mostram o skate no nivel3 falando: Eu sabia que a gente não deveria ter confiado num scientista! e eles culpando o zan que nao tinha bomba nenhuma.
Uma curiosidade sobre a principal diferença das duas versões, é que o Ash foi uma sátira do Mario, se prestar atenção nas roupas, principalmente quando selecionamos ele para jogar que a roupa deixa de ser roxa e passa a ser vermelha, o que deixa mais parecido ainda, querendo mostrar que o personagem da Nintendo era Gay. (Antes que alguém venha me xingar, os tempos são outros, na época isso foi feito de propósito pra dizer que o Mario era "viado", com o perdão da palavra). Ótimo vídeo, exelente conteúdo.
You can unlock your Genesis by putting a switch and soldering it's contacts on JP1 on your Genesis board. Closed = JP. Open = US. Simple as that. But original japanese cartridges had square edges and would not fit into a Genesis, but using a Game Genie would easily bypass this mechanical lock... Of course the switch trick is for experienced electronics enthusiasts and professionals. Don't even try to open your Genesis if not your case.
Alternatively, you can use a game genie to bypass the region check. You can also access Ash immediately with the Game Genie by using this code: BAWA-AAA0, which lets you play as him, but don't be surprised if the game feels too easy because Ash's strength is obscene (a.k.a. overpowered)
Alright, I'll be the one to make the joke for the first time in over nine years since the original hoax was uploaded: Streets of Rage 03 is basically what happens when 04Kids gets the licensing rights to a video game and has to censor out a lot of the Japanese exclusive content due to extremely strict FCC regulations that must be followed on network broadcast television; at least though, we did get Bare Knuckle III DX: The Director's Cut and The Bare Knuckle III Project, both of which have extended the game to be a true take on what should've been Bare Knuckle III International to begin with and give us the Japanese script translated in such a beautiful way that truly outdoes the original release builds' storyline in full. Ultimately, with Bare Knuckle IV on the way very soon now, I truly do hope that we do get regional differences with this title, it'll give us a reason to import the Japanese version and wishfully we could port over any exclusive content for all relevant regions to have a Definitive Edition, it simply is not Bare Knuckle without two or more different versions of the same game not having content and difficulty (im)balances specifically made for their respective builds, it simply has to happen.
No it's equal to "Very hard", this shit is so fucking easy and unfinished in japanese that i did a deathless 1st try. What a terrible version and filthy casuals are defending this BETA unfinished product filled with tons of bugs that USA version fixed...
People just like the music from streets of rage 2. So much that they will attack part 3, which is better, gameplay and story wise. You get more with sor3. Just that the music was scaled to match the games plot, and not just be bgm music. Sort of like a movie. The game's main theme was the first level music, the tractor had a theme, bosses had a theme, the 3 ninjas had a theme, mr.x had a theme, the street had a theme, pretty much every thing had appropriate music for it's situation. Sor 2 music was literally each stage has a long bgm that endlessly plays. Of course the music director didn't have to care about making the music fit the scene, so often times your beating people up to sing a long style dance music. Streets of rage 3 pokes fun at this with the Disco level.😏
Censorship is evil! We want to live in the world, where art will not be hindered by the censorship! Where sciense will not be hindered by morality! Where something truly great will not be hindered by something small and miserable! ...Oops. That's from another game...
Despite all that streets of rage three was still a great game, the game was a little bit harder I agree. Didn't bother me though, since most beat'em ups are just way to easy.
Doesn't matter. Both games kinda suck. The Japanese version is a TON easier than the American release, almost too easy. The American release is way too hard. I'd play the Japanese release on hard if I really wanted to play through the game again but I don't. Streets of Rage 2 was worlds apart better than this game.
Никогда бы не подумал, что в Америке могут производить такое дерьмо! Мы в России играли в Sega, на джойстике с шестью кнопками, я даже не представляю как молодёж в Америке играла на трёх кнопках в Mortal Kombat!

Censorship stuff. "O noes, we don't want to show our enemies in brassieres! Also bombs might be too SCARY!11!!!1"
My theory is that Sega is trying to avoid another violent video game hearing like the one in December 1993.
I read somewhere that the color change for Axel, Blaze, and Skate was apparently because they wanted to give them "gender-neutral" colors.
As for the part where it shows Axel put on his headband and turns to punch the screen...I heard that was a tracing over of a scene in one of the Rambo movies, so maybe to avoid a possible lawsuit?

unfortunately Streets of Rage 3 soundtrack not as good as Streets of Rage 2.
azharhassan_ But since there under rule by robots there’s more sorta cyber in the music
I *love* the music in Bare Knuckle III. That techno sound with randomized elements is awesome.

Bare Knuckles III is way easier (more fair). You can even unlock secret levels and ride a motorcycle in Bare Knuckles III.
In the Japanese you fight a homosexual named Ash. The US version decided to not let you fight him because of offensive reasons.

Bare Knuckle III *>* Streets Of Rage 3
I am still trying to pinpoint what exactly made the American version so much more difficult.
The enemies had larger life bars. Some of them in that JP version only had 1 life bar while some US ones had 2-3 life bars
And the enemies do more damage the higher the difficulty (2 player mode also increases the damage the enemies do). There are a couple other harder difficulties that were dummied out that can be accessed by hex editing (maybe also Game Genie codes?) and I kid you not, one hit from the enemies with 2 players drains 90-95% of your health on the highest difficulty.
bare knuckle is much better
That game has such weird music that I love because it's so weird
Plus the music is slower on the PAL version. I'm guessing because of not being optimised to handle the whole PAL 50Hz / NTSC 60Hz thing.
the best version is japanese.
I prefer bare knuckle lll but in clothing i prefer streets of rage 3 (exept for garnet or soozie or whoever she be)

(Antes que alguém venha me xingar, os tempos são outros, na época isso foi feito de propósito pra dizer que o Mario era "viado", com o perdão da palavra).
Ótimo vídeo, exelente conteúdo.
Thank god they made sor3 much harder and fixed some gameplay bugs
Juegazo.. principalmente el japones
I heard the japanese version was easy too it's that true?
it is but it's definitely better
What was the point of changing the colors of the outfits tho? Ngl I like what they did to skates outfit in the us versions.
And people say that Final Fight was the most censored game... HA!
Just one lone bare knuckle. That's it!
SoR games love them all

I played streets of rage 3 Japanese version on PS4 and its way better than the American version i beat it twice
If Only I Could Read Japanese Dammit
There's an english Patched version of it
The original Japanese version is so much better, it has easier difficult and better storyline, the western censorship realy sucks man
I'll play Bare knuckle since i was 11yrs old. Shocking when i saw Street of rage version was lousy.
Grand upper! > Bare knuckle!
Como zan e um personagem novo ele não tem mudanças em nenhum versão
can i play the jp version on my american genesis ?
You can unlock your Genesis by putting a switch and soldering it's contacts on JP1 on your Genesis board. Closed = JP. Open = US. Simple as that. But original japanese cartridges had square edges and would not fit into a Genesis, but using a Game Genie would easily bypass this mechanical lock... Of course the switch trick is for experienced electronics enthusiasts and professionals. Don't even try to open your Genesis if not your case.
Alternatively, you can use a game genie to bypass the region check. You can also access Ash immediately with the Game Genie by using this code: BAWA-AAA0, which lets you play as him, but don't be surprised if the game feels too easy because Ash's strength is obscene (a.k.a. overpowered)
Alright, I'll be the one to make the joke for the first time in over nine years since the original hoax was uploaded: Streets of Rage 03 is basically what happens when 04Kids gets the licensing rights to a video game and has to censor out a lot of the Japanese exclusive content due to extremely strict FCC regulations that must be followed on network broadcast television; at least though, we did get Bare Knuckle III DX: The Director's Cut and The Bare Knuckle III Project, both of which have extended the game to be a true take on what should've been Bare Knuckle III International to begin with and give us the Japanese script translated in such a beautiful way that truly outdoes the original release builds' storyline in full.
Ultimately, with Bare Knuckle IV on the way very soon now, I truly do hope that we do get regional differences with this title, it'll give us a reason to import the Japanese version and wishfully we could port over any exclusive content for all relevant regions to have a Definitive Edition, it simply is not Bare Knuckle without two or more different versions of the same game not having content and difficulty (im)balances specifically made for their respective builds, it simply has to happen.
SoR-3 normal difficulty = BK-III hard difficulty
bk3 is easier
No it's equal to "Very hard", this shit is so fucking easy and unfinished in japanese that i did a deathless 1st try. What a terrible version and filthy casuals are defending this BETA unfinished product filled with tons of bugs that USA version fixed...
Two years later, it's safe to assume your bait was unsuccessful.

@@luisfernandomiguelpiris252really? That’s crazy because it feels like the American version is missing a lot.
Japan✌☺esa mirada para adolecentes q le daba sega era gloria
People just like the music from streets of rage 2. So much that they will attack part 3, which is better, gameplay and story wise. You get more with sor3. Just that the music was scaled to match the games plot, and not just be bgm music. Sort of like a movie. The game's main theme was the first level music, the tractor had a theme, bosses had a theme, the 3 ninjas had a theme, mr.x had a theme, the street had a theme, pretty much every thing had appropriate music for it's situation. Sor 2 music was literally each stage has a long bgm that endlessly plays. Of course the music director didn't have to care about making the music fit the scene, so often times your beating people up to sing a long style dance music. Streets of rage 3 pokes fun at this with the Disco level.😏
Japanese version is fine!
Censorship is evil!
We want to live in the world, where art will not be hindered by the censorship!
Where sciense will not be hindered by morality!
Where something truly great will not be hindered by something small and miserable!
...Oops. That's from another game...
The only problem with the American version is the difficulty.
Yeah, which is the *main* problem. Fake difficulty by unnecessary enemy padding and unbalanced life bar changes, no thank you.
Despite all that streets of rage three was still a great game, the game was a little bit harder I agree. Didn't bother me though, since most beat'em ups are just way to easy.
Doesn't matter. Both games kinda suck. The Japanese version is a TON easier than the American release, almost too easy. The American release is way too hard. I'd play the Japanese release on hard if I really wanted to play through the game again but I don't. Streets of Rage 2 was worlds apart better than this game.

И в чем отличие, кроме костюмов?

Спасибо, не досмотрел до этого времени)
Денис Давыдов, ну ты чё, слепой? Там всё показали в чём отличия у этих двух версий.
Никогда бы не подумал, что в Америке могут производить такое дерьмо! Мы в России играли в Sega, на джойстике с шестью кнопками, я даже не представляю как молодёж в Америке играла на трёх кнопках в Mortal Kombat!
Apart from Ash (wtf) and a few color pallette swaps it's not really much different really, but kinda feels faster
Chris Stokes not really. Many thing more like unlock ash, shiva, many hype atk mode can active too( fast atk zan, blade, sammy; hyper blast axel; unlock 9 lives, unlock the same char mode( use the same char on p2!). Sorry if i wrongsomething because i play jp version almost time..
Bare Knuckle III is *so* much better. Apart from being uncensored and having extra features the difficulty is sorted.
Japon wins flawes victory
Bare knuckle III wins.
bare knuckle all the way
Sega was like i didnt know you guys wanted to beat up a gay guy....hmm well what if we made the game needlessly hard and frustrating will that help?
Show,Prefiro A Abertura Antiga Da Versão Japa
This had awful music compared to the previous two games... The music declined over the games.. The first still has the better music by far.
JAMIE LESTER You Bunning Crack... SOR2 had the best soundtrack ever.
following suit. you are mad. SoR2 had one of the BEST OSTs from these retro days.
I think everything went in decline for the third game. But at least it didn't become as bad as the Golden Axe series, lol!
Opinions. @STEAdYdropN Em
I agree. Second game had a revolutionary soundtrack but I love all the tracks in the first
99% of all games from 1980 - 2000 are best in NTSC/J, then NTSC/U and absolutely worst PAL
i have to wait sor3 to see Blaze's briefs
Men wear briefs, women wear panties. I think you meant to say you wanna see Ash's briefs...🧐
Poor ash... F
BK3 is better.
