Altered Beast NES Arcade Edition (FINAL) by José Flavio, Antonio de Lima and DarthVaderX:

This hack enhances the Famicom/NES version of Altered Beast (Juuoki), making it visually closer to the arcade and Sega Genesis versions. The goal is to deliver a more authentic look by updating key elements throughout the game.

  • Character and Enemy Sprites: Several character sprites, along with some enemy sprites spread across the game, have been redesigned to match the style and proportions of the arcade and Genesis versions.
  • Color Palette Adjustments: Now features a palette more faithful to the arcade version, along with improvements to the title screen and HUD.

Note: It is recommended to use the MESEN emulator to get a real view of the game’s colors.
