All forms of anti aliasing suck. Why would you intentionally make your game blurry? Why are you staring at the edge of the table, anyway? Are you ok, anon?

Interesting, didn’t know that was a thing - did they put Japanese Net Yaroze games there?
>>
>>10943756
every month the official PlayStation magazine came with a CD with demos and from 3 to 10 full net yaroze games, this was in 97/98/99

I'm an Europoor if that matters

That’s cool. Need to check out dumped demo ISOs someday, maybe there are some interesting unreleased games there. Were they just untranslated?
>>
>>10943783
>Were they just untranslated?
That I don't remember.
And the games I remember 99% didn't have text, they were simple, like arkanoid, small top down racers where the cars were just shapes, stuff like that

The last year a friend gave me his PSP MGS Peace Walker (cammo) Edition and his old 3DS Fire Emblem Awakening edition.

Hever had any of these consoles before (the normal ones) and I'm loving these.

I tried T-Edition and I fucking loved it. I've heard mixed things about BNW, though.
>>
>>10942251
>the ones telling you to just have sex are literally incapable of it
>>
>>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.

When will people stop fellating developers just because they're japanese or quirky?

But now retroactively they've become good because hipsters.

They were a nobody developer in the west for a reason

The newest clones play FDS and have expansion audo with full mapper support.
>>
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

This is easily the best GBA game.

>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.

Why does she look super serious in the artwork for Alpha 2? Was she supposed to be a different character before they turned her into a goofball?

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.
