>sidelined by ryu being the main character....just cause he's japanese
Somehow I feel SMB2 has a sort of "behind the scenes" vibe, like how it has reflector carwheels, and how there's masks and stuff. The newly added backgrounds on the All Stars remake reassured this behind the scenes idea with the new backgrounds for some of the indoor areas.
>Miyamoto hated DKC and Yoshi Island's visual style was his direct response to the CGI graphics
>Iwata showed up at the last minute to the development of Pokemon GS and somehow compressed the game to half the size which made it possible to fit a whole other region into the game
>Raiden in MGS2 was Kojima's idea of what the audience looked like and a way to mock them (Apparently we were all rather handsome in his eyes) and people hated not playing as Solid Snake so much that the game sold billions
>The ZL and ZR buttons are behind the L and R buttons.
>Uses NES controller connectors (The Super NES needed to do the same thing).
>Built in rumble.
>While not Controller related; Making sure every cartridge game has built in storage, meaning no Memory Pak, in fact, no controller expansion pack period.
>Color blind? Too bad, you are stuck. Nothing can be done about it
How was this even acceptable in those days? One of the few objectively good things modern gaming has done is actually addressing the needs of guys who struggle with color blindness.

What did he mean by this?
I know they are infamous for having awful timing windows, but that can't be the only issue. I know you're also supposed to "freestyle" but that part also makes no sense. Rhythm games are my expertise, to boot. I have like a 16 nps on Stepmania and have 5 starred the guitar hero trilogy on expert with a regular controller, but I can't make sense of this.

I tear up at several parts of Ocarina of Time because of things like the loss of innocence/adulthood/Sarya/Link having an overall shitty life.
Rules of the thread are simple:
>You can only talk about games and systems made before the US release of the NES (1985). Everything before it from the CRT Amusement Device to stuff like Marble Madness and Kung Fu Master is cool here. Later and homebrew ports for Pre-NES games on Pre-NES systems are allowed (e.g. Jr. Pac-Man was released in arcades in 1983 but the 2600 port came out in 1986)
>That's it.
I'm currently holding a poll on 2600 games you'd recommend to newcomers. The results will be made into a little pastebin. If you'd like to contribute a vote or write in a game here's the link: https://strawpoll.com/XmZRQv2X3gd
What are your favorite obscure arcade titles from this era? Tube Panic and Cloak and Dagger are a couple of my favorites.
HOW TO JOIN
1 - Start a playthrough (any version is fine).
2 - Follow level caps. Level 20 or lower currently.
3 - Keep the community updated on your progress. Pics now.
4 - Battle other players! We don't have to save it for tourneys. Post your battle results and teams in the thread. Trades are highly encouraged. Coordinate with others.
5 - Upload your saves. For physical carts, try using GBxcart or GB Operator to upload your save files. It's not required, but trading will be off the table.
6 - Share your ingame name, trainer ID, and an image of RBY trainer sprite you want and I can make graphics. Use this link as a reference. https://www.spriters-resource.com/game_boy_gbc/pokemonredblue/sheet/8729/
TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
After the 4th Badge: First Single Elimination Tournament
After the 8th Badge: Second Single Elimination Tournament
HOW WILL THAT WORK?
Parsec allows two players to individually batlle and then post results. I will host a parsec session myself after both players give me their saves.
Battles will be conducted on Pokemon Stadium.
If your opponent doesn't show, after one rescheduling, it's counted as a loss for them, a win for you.
Showdown is the fallback if nothing else is doable.
BATTLE RULES
Level 50 All
Clauses: Sleep Clause, Freeze Clause, No Double Team
WHAT NEXT?
After 1 week, we'll set our sights on Surge. If anyone gets left behind, that's juat how it is. You'll need to catch up - Pokemon isn't too tough, and can be beat in a day or two.
If all players agree to advance to the next badge, we'll so so.
ANYTHING ELSE?
Have fun. Challenges will be posted shortly. Don't be afraid to post pictures. Yell at me if you want any of this to change. Hide the thread if you don't care. Suggest challenges!
For me, it's "piracy killing the Dreamcast meme"
>Sega had already fired 1/3rd of its workforce by 1999
>By 1995 they had so much unsold inventory of Genesis and Game Gear games they were having to waste money buying back
>This inventory buy-back and early Saturn launch soured relationship with retailers
>Sega was so in the shit, Bandai offered to buy them in 1997
>Sega also gets into a lawsuit with 3Dfx for an early design of the Dreamcast that 3dfx leaked to the public (sega paid out of court settlement)
>The CEO who spearheaded Dreamcast development, Bernie Stollar, is fired for selling the system at a money losing price ($200)
>The system's launch in Japan is a failure, mainly due to a chip shortage from NEC
>PS2 announced by March 1999, offeres built in DVD playback and back compat with all PS1 games
>In 2000, Sega had to pay settlements to employees for abusing them in Japan
>By Summer 2000, Sega still has millions of unsold systems in their warehouses
>coincidentally, in June 2000 is when the first games get cracked
>they aren't self-booting
>this at a time when most are still using dail-up
>not even half of the library is available to download
>most of the rips are shitty
>games that the 1 gig GDROM capacity have to remove assets to fit on a CD
>yet somehow, "piracy is what killed the Dreamcast" in January 2001 after they've spent years losing money on Saturn, pissing off retailers, paying legal fees, and firing staff
How does anyone still believe this meme? Are they retarded to all the shit Sega had going on even before Dreamcast launched in 1998? Do they not understand how stupid it is for a company to leave the HARDWARE business when they were dealing with SOFTWARE piracy?

Anyway, what are you fixing lately?
>got nothing lined up on the backlog
Anon, I need your retro turn based JRPG recommendations, but only the ones that really sell the genre. Best of the best if possible. Now that I've got nothing lined up it'll have my undivided attention to really delve in and hopefully finally appreciate the genre.
Except that’s not what this was - at ALL. And damn was I seething about it. I beat the game, angry the whole time, listening to that stupid fucking AI lead me around by the leash, and instead of appreciating what the game *was* all I could see were the things it weren’t.
Well I’m replaying it again now and trying to keep an open mind. (Replaying it on a sickkkk modded indigo purple classic GBA with backlit screen; so amazing; anyway….).
The game is fantastic, if you don’t view it under the lens of being the sequel to Super Metroid. It’s got diverse areas, just enough side exploration to let you find optional upgrades, a TON of secrets you can *eventually* come back for near the end, and a challenging difficulty curve that actually rewards the optional upgrades you find. Plus the game actually was doing sci fi horror back when the genre really hadn’t solidified yet. We didn’t realize what we were playing, but this was the seed that grew into things like Dead Space one day.
Anyway, it’s a great game… dot dot dot…. So long as you aren’t expecting Super Metroid 2.
Preferrably RPGs.
You’re interested in retro games because they are more pleasant and warm/cozy by association and the history of gaming is fascinating. But when it comes to actually playing retro games, with the exception of a handful of undisputed greatest titles, you can’t play them for more than 10 minutes because most hasn't aged well. But you still like reading and hearing about it a lot
>most people still didn't upgrade to PS1 or Saturn
>gaming magazines hype all those cool 3D racers and 3D fighters
>32X price is cut down to $99 (or $139 when bundled with VF)
Were the picrel games considered good substitutes for people who wanted the taste of 3D but couldn't afford proper 32-bit consoles just yet?
>disappears
Why'd they do it?
What a shame
https://youtu.be/SOOeebXTYzg?si=KYJCq50lSwD7j824
Badass live action commercial much more serious than the game
I think Bloodlines did it best too. You get the refinements of the 16-bit era, and stuff like the fake blocks are slightly more visible without always being eyecatching, but when you're playing as Morris, the game still comes down to just being a dude with a whip, no fancy 8-way snapping or item crashes and backflips neither.
There might be 2D games that look better with side-scrolling graphics or such, but I think when it comes to top-down, SD3 is the best.
Feel free to prove me wrong (provide pictures).
Nowadays they just use boilerplate physics engines
>intro, walk through park, first enemy tutorial
>first weapon: the pank is extremely underwhelming and not fun to use
>have little direction for the city section and easy to get lost
>get to the apartments and it seems like more aimless wandering
>have to go to specific rooms in the right order to get the gun and flashlight (essential to start really "playing' the game)
>very easy to get lost in the apartments or miss one item or not understand some obtuse puzzle
>city scape again part 2
>meet some goofballs
I think the game doesn't really start to roll until you meet maria, and get into the Brookhaven hospital which is more interesting than the apartments.
It just takes too long and is too much effort for the game to actually get going. The Hospital, historical society, prison, abyss, motel, are all really solid. So whether someone likes the game is likely: did they get past the apartments?
Pacing better might have made more sense to follow 1's format: dream fantasy segment, meet the heroine, she gives you a gun and you find a knife, and a flashlight, so you start playing immediately. In SH1, you get all the essential items within 5 minutes, but it's 15-30 for SH2.
Sh3 went in the opposite direction: nothing BUT action.

Damn. Always felt like a missed opportunity to jump to the next world quickly, like in SMB1/3. Why didn't they allow it?
And one more hot take: I prefer the GBA control scheme, spin jump mapped to R. Far less retarded switching between Y/X to run.

Sonic 2 wasn't a bunch of hurry up & wait like the original, no underwater levels that make you have to wait for bubbles to pop up so Sonic can breathe again.
i think a lot of Sonic 1's flaws were the Sonic Team trying to figure out what they were doing, but i don't wanna blame them.
It's not Sonic Team's fault because they were under pressure and probably completely bogged down by Sega themselves because Sega had to compete against Mario.
the people in Sonic Team were decent people, but Sonic 1 the game itself sucks.
The only two things that made Sonic 1 memorable was the marketing and people liking the Green Hill Zone.

*FPGA
So, establishing common ground: consoles like the NES/PCE/etc (and most portable systems up to the GBA) have 2 face buttons, but a good chunk of their games use the Select button as a tertiary action in-game, so I think it's fair to say they were 3-button games/systems. The SMS really is the only true 2-button console AFAIK, since it didn't even have Select.
When the MD came about, its controller had 3 face buttons in a row but no Select - honestly a good trade. How games mapped these is what's interesting. It of course varied, but usually, it seems A and C would be both Confirm or straight up the same action, and B would be the secondary action/Cancel. If a game actually used all 3, then B and C would be the equivalent of the NES's B and A, while Sega's A is whatever Select would be on NES. The Power Base Converter even mapped the SMS's action buttons to B and C by default.
With the MD's "6-button pad", it really just existed for fighting game ports. Very few other games totally utilized it, and why would they - the XYZ buttons were so small and nubby!
(Cont.)
I'm coming off Rockman & Forte and EXE WS on Wonderswan which were both bad though so it benefits from the comparison
NGC Battle & Fighers was also okay, a couple of good fights. I don't remember if he was in the og Battle & Fighters games but seeing Napalm Nam drive around using his chains and using his shoulder pods was pretty cool. They really fucked him up in the NES MM5.
![Majoras-Mask-1024x576[1]](https://i.4cdn.org/vr/1752108290781831s.jpg)
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess added more combat abilities, but they never felt necessary because all the combat was made so much easier and the enemies so much slower and dumber. If they had actually built upon MM's more demanding, fast-paced combat and made more enemies that force you to use all the tools at your disposal they could have made something incredible. Maybe they thought it was just too hard, so they scaled it back in later games, but I loved it.

>GameCube supports texture compression, has hardware support for a lot of different texture effects (via TEV shaders), has a decently large dedicated texture cache and actually has proper support for mipmaps / trilinear filtering

Also known as WURM: Journey to the Center of the Earth (Also a cool title)
It's about a cute girl named Moby who's in charge of the crew of a machine called VAZOLDER, who has to venture deep underground to find the missing crews of the other Vazolders who got lost earlier. Among them is her boyfriend too. In their quest they get involved in the secret war between two underground races.
It's got side scroller shooter sections, on-foot exploration, text adventure sections, first person sections, and lots of cutscenes. It was really a cinematic experience!
the note from the groundskeeper was kino and I enjoy the 90s VA. discuss re1 ps1 edition.
That was nearly 25 years ago though and I think it’s time for a replay. I am fully expecting my old to get filtered, but I also am going to persevere and hopefully push through. I do remember hella grinding on 1-1 for extra lives and coins.
Sadly the sequel just wasn’t quite as inspired; something was off about it and it lost the amazing level design from the first one. And due to the series not selling well enough we never got the third one and never got to rescue the princess.

I feel sorry for current and future generations who grew with games like live service or gacha getting accustomed to see games as a service rather than products to own.
It all went downhill when publishers started taking out manuals and the community allowed it with no pushback.
Any cool vr related game boxes/manuals you'd like to share?

I’m looking to build a collection of offline PC FPS games that support multiplayer with bots—whether it’s LAN play, skirmish modes, or just fragging AI in deathmatch arenas.I already know the classics like Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament ’99 GOTY, but I’m after lesser-known titles, forgotten B-tier games, or even oddball indie stuff that still lets you jump into an arena and wreck some bots
aboslutely sadistic faggot
The beginning is harsh but completely manageable even if i lost some money buying fucking grapes or something, then when you get the hang of it (and with that i mean buy art once) you start making money and the game actually becomes pretty fun, exploring the world actually feels harsh and you really need to prepare for the worst to come, getting trough Asia the first time was a great time and i became rich after i got back to mainland.
After that tough? Now you are a errand boy for the king, need to track down some random Turkish fucks and worse of all battle them in that mild battle system that tries to be realistic but manages only to be no fun at all. And worse of all you have to do like 12 errands before you can see the ending after the good part is already over.
All that said, does new horizons fix the battle system? Is there more to it's endgame than running errands? I dropped this but i actually had a good amount of fun for the limited hours it was about sailing and not about fighting random pirates.
Then there’s Balloon Park. And wow, compare that to Carnival Night Zone, it’s like night and day. Carnival Night’s track is just a mess, with that compressed audio and a circus melody that’s all over the place, totally uninspired. Balloon Park, on the other hand, is a total masterpiece in terms of composition. It’s short, punchy, and insanely creative. It doesn’t overstay its welcome like those long, bloated tracks from bands like Coldplay. Instead, it’s sharp, fun, and always interesting. Think of it like Wire: tight, inventive, never boring. That’s how the music in these competition levels feels. fresh, energetic, and always keeping you hooked.
And then, there’s Azure Lake. Honestly, it’s a total sensory overload, a beautiful, sweeping masterpiece. The main synth melody is piercing and clear, almost thrusting out at you, but in a way that feels alive. It keeps that original J-pop vibe alive, a sound inherited from Masato Nakamura, father of Sonic’s music and the composer of Dreams Come True.
