What I find to be another glitch in the game was the lack of PS1 quality graphics and transparencies, lol.

transparencies

I always thought that it was because of my emulator, only some years ago I've discovered that it really is like this on the console since I've only played it like 3 times on real hardware at my friend's house.

LOL, it is very much a console thing. The Genesis, Sega CD, Sega Saturn and Dreamcast apparently could not do transparencies. And yet other systems like the SNES could. Well, maybe some games of the Dreamcast were able to. I'm not sure, I'd have to check.

The SSF Emulator lets you do "Mesh Transparency" Fix.
This makes the game closer to SotN in terms of translucencies, etc. ;)

Supposedly the Saturn can do transparencies and translucencies just fine... on 2D objects.  on 3D objects, special software would have to be coded by the developer group in order to do so, as it wasn't really a native Saturn feature.

The problem is, since NitM is a port of SotN, a game that, though is plays in 2D, is actually using a 3D-friendly engine (pretty much everything is a texture on a polygon instead of layers of tiles), anything that is 3D that is ported to the Saturn that didn't implement its own code for 3D transparencies/translucencies would suffer.  And since everything is basically 3D...

This is basically a case of shoddy porting, rather than an inferior system.
The Saturn did a better job with the music and the looping, as I've mentioned before, so in that regard the Saturn does a better job, using PCM instead of XA audio, which means higher quality music that would loop more seamlessly.

Stretching the graphics didn't help its cause either  :P  Which is a shame since it sounds like NitM could have very well been the best port of SotN to date if not for (as Laylgax put it); lazy.

Either it's Apple's fault or dyslexia attack.

What was also lazy was Maria's attack power. Her 12 year old Dracula X counterpart had more stomping power then the PSP SotN version!

What I wanna know is why they didn't expand the screen resolution and in turn stretched the graphics. :(
UPON THE COMPLETION OF ITS STATEMENT, THE BLOOD MONKEY LEAPS TOWARDS YOU, BARING TEETH. IT IS TOO LATE FOR YOU.
