It's a valid criticism on the correct board. I've played the three games, and I can't believe that that they're popular. To me this is like finding out that Ninja Gaiden III is considered easy and also a good game (when it isn't). And yes, I've beaten the American NG III without save states.

Any other fellow anons from those countries can give me their experiences with retrogaming (growing up, popular games, collecting or emulating in current day, etc..).
All I know is that the PS2 is still incredibly popular there, would like to know if Sega, Atari or the OG Xbox had their fans.

Peru here.

We got the Mexican editions of Club Nintendo but they were always a month late. I remember buying them sporadically from the late 90s to mid 2000s. There must still be a bunch of them at my parents' house.

The gaming scene was similar to the rest of Latin America: CD piracy was rampant and public, you were a loser if you bought Nintendo consoles instead of PlayStations, the Dreamcast was short-lived, everyone had a GameBoy solely for Pokemon, arcades were mostly gun games like House of the Dead and Time Crisis. While I was growing up some of the popular franchises were Mega Man X, Metal Slug, Contra, and Tekken. Apart from the typical Medal of Honor, Grand Theft Auto, Winning Eleven, etc of course.

People always forget that internet cafes dominated Latam in the 2000s, which is why we got exposure to a ton of Asian online games like GunZ, RO, MapleStory, Gunbound, etc. That shit was extremely popyular along with the staples like CS and Age of Empires 2.

Probably the weirdest thing about Peruvian gaming (that I know of) is that the southernmost city of Tacna has a very developed Smash 64 competitive scene (specifically Smash 64), to the point where foreign pro players have shown interest.

I had this remote and spent $20 of however much they charged for it and felt ripped off. Because of were the sensor was on the controller port it didn't have a huge range so you had to be pointing at it directly.
Second teh button precess were odd and it was just faster to use a PS2 controller which while wired it responded faster and the cable was long enough that it didn't matter.
>>12271253
And since I owned one this how I know you're lying. I tried to use this as a controller for games and while you can technically use it, you can't really play any games since the lag between pressing the button and the character doing it takes forever and the dpad is one input at a time. If I could go back in time I would've spent those $20 on some greatest hits PS1 game instead but whatever.

hl2 is commie trash and ruined gayming

So far, the forest dungeon feels like the worst design, with a softlock that force a reset. The fire dungeon is too linear, while the water dungeon is abstract but still enjoyable. The top three dungeons are the Deku Tree, Spirit Dungeon, and Shadow Dungeon. The game itself isn’t that great, yet it established the “3D Zelda formula,” which I thought was bad from the start when I first tried Twilight Princess. Some zelda zealots claim Majora’s Mask is better, though I haven’t played it, despite growing up with the N64, GameCube, and Xbox. Back then, there was a debate among kids over which was the greatest game between Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy VII, while older faggots swore by Shenmue, a game that felt boring to any kid.
What’s your opinion on Ocarina of Time?

I've played through OoT dozens upon dozens of times and literally never clipped through a wall or known anyone else who has. This kind of shit literally only happens to speedtrannies who play games dishonestly.
>>
>>12272772
There kinda' is during the first Ganon fight if you're bad at the game and don't have green/blue potions. The pots at the bottom respawn, but stop dropping magic jars after you break them once, so if you run out of magic during the fight you literally can't beat him. Again, you have to be REALLY bad at the game for that to happen.

is your objection here the full stop or the fact that a comma follows a full stop?

as a britfag, i actually think it should be "Super Mario Bros" and not "Super Mario Bros."
in British English, a full stop for omission doesn't go there IF it ends with the same letter as the full word. think of it a bit like an apostrophe in that regard.

e.g. 'Dr' = 'Doctor', whereas 'Dr.' = 'Drive'.
similarly, 'St' = 'Saint', 'St.' = 'Street' (although i guess that one could go either way).

still, would actually be
>Make a left on Privet Dr., where the Dursleys' house is.
and not
>Make a left on Privet Dr, where the Dursleys' house is.
or somehow
>Make a left on Privet Dr. Where the Dursleys' house is.

How come only Nintendo managed to have 100% backwards compatibility? The only downside to playing GC games on Wii is some resolution shit no one cares about. You can even have the GC system menu with a modded Wii.

The old joke was that the Wii was just a GameCube with slightly more power, though I'm not sure how accurate that is. If it has the same architecture, it would be leagues easier to make a compatibility layer as compared to the 360 and ps3, each of which had pretty complicated custom processor setups and would have to be emulating their predecessors' completely different custom architecture.
