Is super mario bros 2 (JP) good? I've heard people say it's like a kaizo hack or whatever before

>>
>>10943989
BNW is actually extremely well balanced, it just has too much memery/cringe. I detested the balance of T-Edition (chest enemy in Daryl's Tomb is harder than fucking Atma Weapon) which got me to drop it. Also randomly including other enemy sprites just makes it look like an RPGMaker game. SaGa enemies look like shit, hideous series.

Last time I tried it Zsnes was the norm (low accuracy). I do have a flashcart now. I wonder what the real performance could be like.

It's very sluggish, unresponsive controls, and just feels like wading through tar. Yes it was a SlowROM cart but you could also tell it was rushed out really fast and they had no time to optimize the code.

Funny that the studio went on to develop The Simpsons hit & Run years later, which is the polar opposite of this turd.

I believe I heard there was only one programmer on Bebe's Kids and he had like a month and a half to finish. The music is the only worthwhile thing about this game.

There was an earlier thread before but I just want to say I too am almost done with this game and FUCK the end of this game. Having to fight Necron at the end of an annoying boss rush just makes me want to say "fuck it" and save state my way to victory. I refuse to explore this massive maze for every tiny little piece of better armor and magic attacks im missing, where every secret is just a shitty arbitrary hidden wall in a maze of repeating textures.

The game is unbeatable unless you rub your nose on every fucking wall in the game and find the best items.

Why are sports games held in such low regard with the retro game community while something like RPGs aren't? They are so undervalued that they are the best value in gaming, if done correctly a hockey, soccer or wave racing game can match up with any other genre

It's odd you mention Pokemon because I hear people complain about Pokemon's declining quality and excessive release schedule literally all the time. It's probably the #1 issue people have with that franchise. It still sells like hotcakes of course, just like yearly EA sports games sell like hotcakes. Which is too bad, if sales slowed they might have to start putting effort in again.

The other franchises you listed, I honestly can't name a single release from the last few years, but I don't follow modern AAA shit anymore. It all goes in one ear and out the other.

Protip: With NES Everdrives, avoid the temptation to reset and switch between different games (unless they're the same mapper configuration) as the FPGA doesn't like that and will start glitching so you'll have to power cycle it to get it back to normal

>I don't understand the appeal.
Picrel.
Advance Wars is the experience of making little plastic army men fight.
On top of that it has cute girls and a good soundtrack and a very simple, but fun strategy game.
But the main appeal is the simple pleasure of bashing your itty-bitty army into another itty-bitty army until the other army falls down.
Out of all of Nintendo's old games, it's one of the most toylike. Don't worry about the story or the progression.
If you found your favorite toy you had when you were a little kid in a box while cleaning your closet, how would you play with it? That's how you should play Advance Wars.

What's something you DON'T miss about the retro era and are glad is basically dead and gone at this point?
For me, it was games needing you to buy separate, usually not very cheap components that didn't come with the system itself, for the full experience.

You're 11 years old, the school year has ended and summer break has begun, the weather is wonderful. You're sitting on the floor on a warm Friday evening with an open window and cool breeze blowing in. You're playing a game you just got and are planning on blowing your summer on it.

Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door. What a fucking comfy summer game that was. I remember my dad bought me the game right before the summer finals startd in school and I would love getting home after the exams and playing the game until mom called me for dinner. Good times, man

I am SORRY you don't have any cozy childhood memories.
>>10941462
Yeah I was sort of vague in my original post - I only rented Mario RPG. I rented it several times that summer but sometimes I'd find that my save file would be gone and I'd want to start over from scratch. And honestly as soon as I beat the game, the first thing I did was fire up a new game.
Plus as a kid you're more likely to take your time with a game like this. I would just revisit areas looking for secrets. I really savored games in a way that I don't as an adult.

I didn’t get my N64 until fall so I most probably spent summer replaying DKC3, doing Ultra combos on Killer Instinct and attempting to go through Terranigma which had just released here.
