Well, I have heard that it is more than marketing hype. Unlike Sega’s ‘Blast Processing’, this ‘GIGA POWER’ allows SNK to address higher memory on the ROMs, making for games with a less grainy look to them. For games such as Real Bout Garou Densetsu 2 and newer, they utilize the ‘GIGA POWER’ technology for better quality (supposedly) games. For informational purposes, Bakumatsu Roman Gekkano Kenshi (The Last Blade) is the biggest non-GIGA POWER game, weighing in at 474 Megs.
