Also, for those who played SMW, do you remember the first time you found your first Star Road entrance? Was it blind or you used a guide?
this game is aids
I played the NES version first long ago and had a little fun but never thought it was special. finally trying out the arcade version is an entirely different experience, I got hooked right away and I cant stop fucking playing it even though I am SHIT at the game, after hours grinding the early stages Im still dying constantly all the time.
the gameplay is so much deeper than it looks at first glance. hasnt aged badly at all, gamers now are just soft and casual pussies who would get filtered by this within moments
boomers please enlighten me, any other arcade games from that era that are still super fun now?

Don't buy chink shit guys.
If you don't have any, have you considered giving a shot to the genre?
Raising little these stupid little babies into racers and warriors who whoop ass fucking rules.
Then they can become immortal if you raise them perfectly, so you can "finish" the game on a satisfying note instead of just meandering without a goal.
It gives you a fantastic reason to continue replaying through the main game's stages to try to scour every nook and cranny for hidden animals, and in Battle, more rings to buy more food that can raise certain stats more efficiently, and interestingly colored Chao.
This is the best side game included in a main game ever. Sonic Adventure 2 would not have a fraction of replay value without it.
Any suggestions for other A-life quality minigames? I'd love to know of any non-Sonic, non-Nights implementations of this kind of concept.
Do you organize or do you just put the newest shit front and center?
Do you have dedicated stations or put everything in a box?
I want to learn, and possibly improve my setup.

This is obviously starting to become a problem for me. I still own all my own consoles and games but a lot of them have problems or don't work anymore, and eventually it will become near-impossible to play on original hardware. If I could allow myself to emulate and mod then playing retro games would become much easier but I just can't.
Anyone else have this mental issue?
No one could stop them at their peak
Joust and Robotron 2084 are masterpieces of video game design, they truly and deeply UNDERSTOOD the medium from the moment they started making them. Also Black Knight (1980) is still my second favorite pinball machine after Medieval Madness (also Williams)

I'm currently playing Banjo-Kazooie: The Jiggies of Time on my console via a flashcart and it's pretty good, was wondering what other romhacks should I try, already have Mario Kart Amped Up (waiting for the new update that might add 3D models for the racers) and Smash Remix, maybe some randomizers as long as they're console compatible.
I have played some Mario 64 romhacks (currently Sapphire is my favorite) and some for Goldeneye.
The only other addon I can think that was successful was the FDS, and even that one was dropped once carts became cheaper to make and could eventually hold even more than a FDS disk.
This thing had not just the base unit, but addon upgrade cards for it, and then a CD addon, and then that CD addon ITSELF had an upgrade add-on, and for some games you needed the right addons or they would not work. The CD drive even originally needed a dock to connect it to the original version of the console which was not included with the CD addon at first (Not even Sega fucked that up, despite the SegaCD doing horribly).
And all of this is not even counting all the revisions and re-releases of the system that had some or all of these enhancements built in... until they released more and released newer different all-in-one versions.
How the fuck did this megazord of a console manage to be popular when it's very usage thanks to all the addons was in itself basically a puzzle game while just about any other addon for consoles failed miserably?
--->Tifa (long range materia)
--->Yuffie (long range weapon)
Yuffie can be swapped with Cid, but otherwise this is the party most people should roll with.
Some examples of what I'm talking about is:
>Rayman 2 -> Rayman 2 Revolution
>Tomb Raider -> Tomb Raider Anniversary
>Lunar the Silver Star -> Silver Star Story Complete
>Metal Gear Solid -> Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
The point is that they are only 1 generation apart, showing off the massive leaps between generations.
The waters get kind-of murky, so 'Pseudo-remakes' are also allowed. I'm not gonna elaborate on that, as it's up to your interpretation.
Hit me with what you got.
just beating is so damn easy but 100% is way too hard
>inb4 just buy the original console and a 500kg trinitron
no, physicalshit dies eventually, and even if we could remake them perfectly in fdvr it still wouldn't be the "definitive" way to play
for example, screen curvature is shit. not a single game was designed with screen curvature in mind, and there were "straight" screen crts anyway
obviously you still need a shader for stuff like dithering and color bleeding, but stuff like "bezel reflections" are a fucking meme since they aren't part of the picture
I'll never let this one go.
Did I fuck up, what am I in for? I had one when I was younger but sold it.
But I feel the game is better imagined as Golden Axe 3D.
>banana bunches: give extra lives
>KONG tokens: give extra lives
>balloons: give extra lives

DKC is a good game but the fact that literally every collectible awards you the same fucking thing is gay and retarded
What is the best version to play? I've read Light is easier.

>games randomly not coming out
>dogshit localisations filtered through 2 levels of lost in translation
>worse framerate if you're lucky

>crowd goes fucking APESHIT over Samus; the hype for Zelda characters is significantly more muted
>after the Melee trailer rocks everyone's socks off, Miyamoto says "now for the next instalment in the Mario series"
>crowd screams in hype and loses their minds
>and then it's Luigi's Mansion
>literally NOBODY claps or screams or chants at ANY point in the Luigi's Mansion reveal
>nobody gives a shit; people are just talking over the show
>the excitement at the conference is basically nonexistent now and once the trailer ends, Luigi's Mansion gets a quieter ovation than Ice Climbers being confirmed for Melee (no, seriously)
It's surreal how prophetic yet so different this was. And the reaction to LM really makes you feel bad for Nintendo (but also not bad because they clearly failed to read the room). Did the biblical status Zelda has today only come into existence after Wind Waker's graphics made fans reminisce over the N64 glory days? Because it's impossible to imagine Zelda characters generating such little hype today.

Some wise person had the bright idea to price this higher than the PlayStation AND the Saturn, which both came out before the PC-FX. This piece of shit rightly sold only 400,000 units, yet some hubristic psychopath only decided to pull the plug on manufacturing in 1998. Until then, NEC saw Mario 64 release, saw Quake release, saw Final Fantasy VII release, and still had faith for YEARS that the PC-FX would eventually succeed. None of this makes any sense. I feel depressed knowing NEC execs got paid 6 figures to sign this fuckup off while palpably more intelligent working class people have to suffer. There is some cosmic horror I can't wrap my head around trying to figure out why this travesty exists.
The remaster collection seemed like the obvious choice but 1) I don't give a shit about the "modern controls" since the original controls are one of the best things about the game since I'm not a zoomie retard, and 2) I prefer the original graphics, especially if I can play in high resolution with widescreen. Supposedly the remaster has some minor censorship and woke preaching, which is gay.
The PS1 version in Duckstation would be fine but I'd prefer greater draw distance and widescreen.
All that said, I'm leaning toward the PC versions with one of the patches. But, which patch? Peixoto's patch? Something else? Also, how hard is it getting it to work with a controller?
i'm so fucking tired of this meme. let's say i want to play metroid. i need to buy:
>famicom: $150
>fds: $100
>physical cope of the game: $50
>ntsc crt: $100
just to play 1 game (assuming everything i bought works), and all that on a shitty crt, otherwise i have to spend twice that
and if i wanted to reduce costs by using emulation + shaders, i still need to buy the shitty wireless $100 famicom switch controllers (can't find original anywhere without importing, let alone the usb adapter) and even then NOT A SINGLE RETROARCH CORE SUPPORTS FAMICOM'S MICROPHONE
i'm so fucking mad
Honestly the whole thing feels so sloppy and thrown together compared to the first game. The hitstun feels worse, level design is worse, your character's sprite is too big, boss design is worse, penalty weapons blocking your path is way more common, the psycho cannon feels way less satisfying than the cross/shield from the first game, the chest system is obnoxious, and the list goes on.
this is the quintessential fast and furious 1 to 3 experience,and i remember the cars controlling better than in NFS underground 2.
best 20 bucks i ever spent.
The overeworld/city doesn't really offer anything beyond a few minutes of goofing off. It's just a time vampire. The missions are just worse Ratchet, even other Ratchet-likes such as Metal Arms Glitch in the System are better. Only the story, characters and cutscenes kept me from turning it off earlier. Going for the sequel today.

I have a question, I usually use OPL 1.1.0 for everything but it doesn't recognize ZSO games, I tried one of those "nightly" builds (the Jay-Jay ones) and they recognize and play ZSO files but some of my games dont work on that build (like Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Crash Nitro Kart for example), I tried disabling PADEMU and other settings but it still doesn't work (games freeze on a black screen).
What can I do?
The following would have all likely been released as GCN games:
>Kameo: Elements of Power
>Perfect Dark Zero
>Donkey Kong Racing
>Grabbed by the Ghoulies
>Viva Pinata
A Nintendo-owned Rare probably would have also made the following:
>Banjo-Kazooie 3
>A new 3D Donkey Kong game
Would this have been enough to save the GameCube?
>the same year, Nintendo R&D1 begins working on Sin and Punishment; a game designed to use the stick with the right hand
>also the same year, GoldenEye comes out on the N64 with a dual analog control scheme
>Before a design for the Xbox controller is even settled on, Halo's meteoric hype train makes clear the importance of a second stick
>the C-stick was a bad idea in 1997, even worse when revealed in 2001, and definitely an existential flaw by March 2001
>there is still time to fix the GameCube controller...
>instead of replacing the C-nipple, Nintendo makes the controller WORSE by shrinking the B button so you can't press it and Y simultaneously
Very bold.

What are examples of this on other game?
Fuck ironicfags for defending this sloppa now. Eat shit.
VC turned out to be MORE influential than III, and also in the same negative way
What are the chances of this getting something like a pc port that can do this?
you HAVE played the best game on turbografx-16, right?
Did you play the rest? Are you even interested in them? How would you rank them if you played them?
Heh, nothin personnel kid.
>no hitscan enemies
>enemies look way cooler and really surreal
>maps and backgrounds are gorgeous
Doom feels like a bunch of random ideas bunched together. Heretic feels like a believable living breathing universe.
Another great SNK game btw.
Also what did you think about this game? Was it better than SoM do you think?
>Don't look up any walkthroughs
>Don't look up mechanics like "What does spell X do" but instead use trial and error to figure it out
>Same with exploration
>Experiment with every piece of new gear, item, spell etc that comes my way
>Only supplementary material I allow myself to use is the official manual
>Don't use savestates, only use dedicated save spots like the world map
I now pay attention to my inventory management and spell uses, I treat dungeons as genuine gauntlets since any encounter can kill me if I'm not careful which means I'll lose any EXP, exploration is now fun and rewarding since I don't know whats waiting around the corner, my team comp and strategy is constantly adapting, and I never have any idea what comes next
Amazing how the industry convinced itself simple fun in this genre needed to be eroded by QoL and streamlining the experience. Its simple, but there's a genuine tension and sense of adventure to these games if you simply decide to go in with no prior knowledge and stick to them without cheating your experience
Any of you guys play this one? What did you think? If you haven't, I really recommend checking it out.
