This cynical element had no chance to appear on the SNES. Now the DeathCam starts which shows the death animation of the enemy in a detailed close-up (like an instant replay). The screen blinds out and the info "Let's see THAT again!" is shown. When certain bosses were killed (episodes 2, 3, 4 and 6) one can witness ID's will to top the normal degree of violence. This affects especially the bosses (not pictured). Furthermore, the soldiers speak English in the SNES version instead of German gibberish.ĪLL blood has been removed from the SNES version. This song was excluded in the SNES version. In some levels of the PC version (especially in the beginning), the melody of the national socialist "Horst Wessel Song" can be heard as background music. The uncensored PC version is being compared with the censored SNES version. All in all, SNES' Wolfenstein 3D port is a total mess. The graphics are totally pixelated (very low resolution), the game itself is slow and has to deal with slowdowns and the sound is not comparable with the PC version's. Apart from that, the SNES version of the game is technically a total catastrophe. Nintendo was trying very hard to keep up a 'family-friendly image' back in the 90's and made strict requirements. This is why it is even more surprising that ID wanted to port the game for the SNES.
WOLFENSTEIN 3D SNES SPRITES SOFTWARE
The degree of violence that ID Software included (pretty harmless nowadays) and the fact that it played during the Nazi-time in Germany led to some controversy. Even though the game principle already existed before, this game helped the genre to achieve its breakthrough and to become a mass phenomenon within the gaming industry. Wolfenstein 3D is virtually THE godfather of all 3D shooters on the PC.
