There are GTA clones. There are Pokemon clones. There are Diablo clones. Hell Stardew is a Harvest moon clone. But there are almost no Ocarina clones, the best game ever made.
A game which shamelessly copied it but of course with new lore and assets would be quaranteed to be a cash printing machine.

Lost Legends: The Weeping Woman Collector's Edition

What the actual fuck /vr/? How come there's no modern equivalent of these things? How come a 1982 console lasts 6 months on fucking watch batteries while soitendo shitch can only be played for 4 hours max on 4500 mAH battery?
Mine is pic related, i like how it controls, the tracks are pretty fun to race on, the music is pretty good and I like the atmosphere on the race tracks.
Also that one glitch that makes the cars go ridiculously fast is funny.
Also lots of Rare's N64 games starting with Banjo-Kazooie look like they could be really early PS2 games if only the framerates were smoother.
Battletoads with it's parallax scrolling and impressive use of the NES color palette could pass for an early Genesis title.
And don't even get me started on the pixel art of most of the major SNES titles after 1994. Yoshi's Island, Chrono Trigger, the DKC trilogy, Mega Man 7, X2 and X3, Kirby Super Star and DL3, Mario RPG, etc.
Any other retro games whose graphics were really good to the extent they could be mistaken for early next-gen games?
general Drpg/blobber thread
>it went from totally awesome to drown that baby autistic!
Is it worth playing?
Does it hold up?
Also asking if there's any good ones on these systems:
>SNES(Already know Clock Tower before anyone says it)
>Genesis
>Sega CD
>PC-Engine
>PS1
>NES
Also if you know any Japan only horror, do recommend them since the language barrier isn't a problem for me.
Was not expecting these feels.
You guys weren't wrong, Mana Kirishima best girl.
You probably did it at one time in your life, infinite ammo, unlimited lives, invulnerability, level select, even goofy shit like paintball mode or big head mode.
What's your favorite way of entering cheats? Do you prefer the main menu button combo signified by a jingle, menu tricks, having a built-in password menu that can recognize cheats like bewareoblivionisathand?
Do you like debug menus that pop up over the game, hidden rooms to enable different options or just being dropped in all rawdog with your max money?
Did you actually buy the cheat code book? Lets talk cheating.
What do you use? What do you recommend? I've wanted a Vita for a while but the price tag, especially on the SD cards is retarded.

Talk about CRT's. Take pictures of CRT's. Shit on people's choice of signalling. Shut up about scalers.
>I wanna take pictures
Good. Shoot at 1/60, 1/30, or maybe 1/15 for NTSC, and 1/50, 1/25, etc. for PAL.
If using a phone, try to shoot RAW to evade shitty filtering. If you can.
Open Camera is a good Android app. I ditched iOS before you could shoot RAW on it though, so IDK there.
DSLR's are great, too. But use whatever you have.
10-15 minutes max of entertainment. 20 if you're doing a fighting game and you mess with all the characters
>Co-op
Possibly hours worth of content. More fun to work together against unfair AI odds in a game like Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8 than the 2-3 minutes you'll get out of the versus.
I've been replaying old games with a friend from PS1-PS2 era games, and the games that have held up the least are games like Goldeneye which we spent like 5 minutes with, whereas we had hours of fun with Perfect Dark.
Only versuslets will cope post in disagreement
It's been years since I have been on here, but I thought it would be fun to give an inside perspective I had on what was going to be a Mega Man fan game made by community members.
It was called Mega Man VR, and I killed the project. I can explain.
I wasn't there in the beginning, I only joined because I wanted to help with the music. There was a group chat on Skype where the game was being discussed. I don't have access to it anymore, but I did have access to the game files when I was working with them.
The main designers got ideas for robot masters from the community. In total, they had:
Wire Man
Sound Man
Siege Man
Flare Woman
Bandit Man
Mirage Woman
Meteor Man
Sabre Man
The community pushed really hard for Disco Man but that never happened because that was kinda gay.
>cont
I also just got a Fenrir, surprisingly good so far although not perfect. I'm open to answering any questions about it.
Also thief thread!
>like $40+ used for all the good shit
>look at those same games on Super Famicom
>like $10-20 for almost everything
>you can fucking play SFC games on SNES
Is it all a scam to try and trick retarded English speakers? You're paying literally triple the price to have Super Mario World on SNES when there's barely any difference.
I mostly want one for the Neo Geo core but the CPS-1 core just got released so it looks like its going places with the arcade emulation. I'm not sure how accurate either core is at the moment though. Anyone with experience able to chime in?
Thoughts on the Rad2x? I'm thinking of getting the playstation and n64 versions

I am really fucking angry. I spent so much time getting through the stages only to get crunched in my fucking tats by this gay shit emulator. I have the password, but now I have to grind more E-tanks AND get through all the Cossack and Wily levels again. My sister is also dissappointed. Fuck this shit. I love the game and want to keep playing, but damn is it making it difficult.

Why is it so weird?
Is it because of being in development in the pre-production phase of the SNES?
Is it really the 3D one from 5th gen? What about the Sega CD one? Or the 32X one?
Any other obscure one?

Do I need to do anything to it besides the classic mod and resolution fix? And is there a version that's unequivocally better than the modded PC version?
I see all these mods on YouTube, PSU mod, GD-ROM mod, fan mod... and it's just a money pit. Why not just emulate?
I know you're supposed to bait him once he starts throwing hooks by going for his face, dodging his counterhook and then landing some hits.
BUT half the time after I go for his face, I can't dodge fast enough and get hit by the hook. Is there another mechanic beyond quick dodging that I don't know about? I go for his face, MASH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE to the sides to get out of the way, but Mac doesn't move sometimes, and I don't know why I'm not dodging.
I don't even care about the Sandman Express, I just want to be able to dodge his counter hook after I bait him consistently.
i bought a clone Pokemon crystal, and even with a new battery it will lose it save game after a few months of not playing. Is there anything I can solder on the board to prevent this? I'd really rather not pay overpriced cart with a scrbbled label, i just wanted the pokemon experience again since I let a friend borrow my Crystal back in 2002 and never saw it again.
Also in case this is too little for a thread: Rank all 5 games.
They are some of the most atmospheric games in existence.
>great platforming
>great puzzles
>great action
>great atmosphere
>many secrets
>sometimes even scary
Hard mode: I like sega and also arcade games which struggle on conventional button layouts
>"Cyrus-Sama"
Why do they half ass translations like this?
>The enemies patrolled the maps when they had not yet noticed your presence, unlike that strange 2 steps stance from doom.
>Doors could open in sideway and walls could be pushed back, both Impossible in Doom as we could see in the secret maps from 2.
>The weakest human enemy of this game was much less shameful than the zombieman, in the penultimate difficulty he already has a greater precision and does a greater damage too, although both have low hp.
>Point-blank shots do more damage, simulating better the reality as incredible as it may seem, in doom only shotguns and bfg have this characteristic.
>Despite all the limitation of this old engine, the maps had more real life decorations such as tables, chairs, lanterns, flags and etc ... Things that we came to see in beta stage from doom.
>Run at 60 fps unlike Doom that was limited to 35 cap.
I know that Doom is a much superior game and its engine too, but it is interesting to see some features that maybe were sacrificed for the game run better on the systems of the time.
The depressed looking guy that turned into a stalfos always unnerved me as a kid, the witnessing of the soldier's death as child link, not to mention the Shadow temple being an old torture prison for enemies of the kingdom all were big revelations to me.
What are some other lesser known theories about the game's plot, settings, characters or themes that are now stuck in your headcanon?

Next episode to air in Japan:
>Season 24: Episode 4 (#300) "Dragon..." is scheduled to premiere on Thursday, June 11th.
It's retro, and we're having a thread about it.

I've recently started exploring the 8-bit home computers and DOS games and most of these are 320x200. That 16:10.
But then again all the consoles I own are 4:3.
>cancelled because at the time of its inception Street Fighter 2 was a hit in the arcades and people only cared about fighting games
>recently somebody got a hold of a cart of the game, partially corrupt or incomplete
>they started working with the original developers to restore the missing assets

The controls are highly unintuitive, there's zero AI (as in, workers will ignore a fight going on near them and there is not even a setting to change this behavior), the damage model is ridiculous (you can have 10-20 guys gang up on 1 enemy and still take a long time beating him down and maybe lose 1 or 2 guys before they do so).
I know I'm not supposed to play this like an RTS where I just send an army to take down my opponent, but the way they seem to have made that unfeasible ist just plain not fun.
This system is the successor to OotModLoader. It is designed to provide memory access, rom patching, and multiplayer networking in an easy to use framework.

ISHYGDDT. Caring about video game canon or video game plots in general is the highest order of cringe. It’s on the level of someone who’s seen every Marvel movie.
