Finally, an N64 release for the NSO that is truly representative of that system's library.

Sometimes, if the game allows for it. Pilotwings 64 runs at something close to 60fps on Switch Online, but most games stick to their original framerate.
>>
>>10878243
I think the emulator up-rezes the polygons but not the textures or something like that. The controller is fucked for playing N64 games there too.
I get the NSO fairly cheap through a family pass and I actually use it a lot but it's an awful way to play N64 games.
>>
>>10878243
Besides OoT/Majora they all run at 30 with F-Zero X, Yoshi's Story and Pilotwings 64 running at 60 (though Pilotwings has an issue because of the higher framerate involving Birdman and F-Zero X has framerate drops that Nintendo still hasn't fixed to this day).
XG and Iggy's seems to run at locked 30fps.

It makes no sense and you really have to think like a degenerate to understand the logic. For all his online bitching about not having work in the localization industry, boo hoo, Rox still had a comfy enough basement pad in his Mom's million dollar Reseda house, tweeted about digging out his old PC Engine, supergun, etc shit to play, and had survived falling out of a hotel balcony, shattering his spine, and almost dying of a recurring infection. So it's like God had let him live for a reason, to somehow rally and make a comeback and make retrogaming reviews great again or something and Nick throws it all away on utter degeneracy, like codeword calling underage victims fucking "cubs" tier degeneracy. Like, dude, WTF?

Like the meme about the furry kid with ashamed parents who had "the Devil driven into him" by the Internet and left totally insane. I mean, on here there's lots of weebs and waifus and odd autistic shit for every kind but he went beyond it all and somehow decided Buffalo Bill or shit was a rolemodel instead of a warning. His rich parents would have sponsored him for the rest of his life playing weeb games, watching anime, seeing Yoshiki shows live, and shit in So. Cal comfort and now he's been extradited from the dream to a living hell of being a Yankee pervert in a North Carolina cell...Jesus.

This game looks really good for a Saturn 3D game. Usually you don’t see lighting and texturing used together to that extent on Saturn, and the particular use of bloom-y colored lighting looks really cool.
Also you can see a lot of design ideas in this that were used a lot more in the following generation. This game feels like it was pushing the absolute bleeding edge of a dying platform. Yeah the framerate tanks a lot, but you can see the tradeoffs they made that caused that.

I will always remember it. At the time, DS games were $30, with two exceptions: Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver (which included the Pokewalker), and Chrono Trigger, which were $40.
>>
>>10877454
I remember there being a price hike from GBA games (always $30 I think), and some games being $40, but details are so minor in my memory. Now that you mention it, I think that premium price was a major reason why I didn't get it (while I did happily get SoulSilver at launch), besides the fact that I thought this should've been released as GBA port if they weren't going to polygonally remake it a la FFIII-IV I was also holding out for a DS port of FF7 for the lifetime of the console, so this decision of theirs was especially a twisting of the knife; thanks for reading my unnecessary blog

People have joked about this, but it really did happen to me. My dad saw this at the rental store and thought it was Mario Party 3. We had 1 and 2 at home and so he thought it was the newest game in the series. He really did fall for this.

I feel vindicated. Asked for Mario Party 3 at gamestop, got this instead. Was in denial about having the wrong game for months and went into maximum overcope thinking I just had to unlock Daisy and Waluigi by collecting 100 stars.

Mario Party is like a horrible nightmare you can never wake up from.

>>10873752
what I don't like is the rhythm of the campaign. you don't have time to just appreciate and observe the castle you built because as soon as you get into it the mission is over and you have to start over on the next map.

took me a while to get used to not controlling peasants directly. it's an interesting concept that I haven't seen before.

it's crazy to think however how hard the life of a king must have been overall because when things are going bad people will just leave your castle (or revolt) lol.

Turns out that just setting your base on fire is the easiest tactic for survive missions.

I understand sampling is a thing, and sample CDs exist. I also understand sampling others music requires permission from the owner + attribution; otherwise you risk a lawsuit. But as this video shows, a TON of games have plagiarized other popular songs that haven’t fell into public domain.

The video shows a few examples of who copied others. This isn’t sampling, because they never got permissions that leaves plagiarism, interpolation, and inspiration. Can someone tell me how far can a person copy a song’s beat to be considered either legal or not legal? A lot of it is so drastic I’m honestly confused if they were in the right because they copied a certain allowed amount or just skirted the attention of those who made those songs they illegally copied.

That's not true. There's borrowing things you like to make your own thing, and then there's repackaging things you like and saying its your own thing. Its one thing to use a chord progression or even a melody here and there, but you have to do something to make it your own otherwise you didn't do anything that anybody else couldn't do.

What's the point of doing that besides making money off of something you didn't do?

In the 80s, most vidya devs in charge of putting music in games were programmers first and and musicians probably second, this was before you could drag and drop shit and have it just work. This meant they probably couldn't create new shit, so it was all about taking already existing shit, optionally modifying it to skirt the law and pray to God no one sues, and no one really did sue over that shit.

>>10877298
Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. It sort of feels like a cross between Sinbad, Power Rangers, and maybe Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, but with a Celtic theme, contractually required black guy, and some rather questionable writing at times. The best version of it I've seen online is actually a mix between German video and American audio, and it's still not the greatest. Seems this show really fell between the cracks. You'd think it'd be prime fodder for some budget RPG or beat-em-up or something, but no such luck so far as I'm aware.

The perfect scenario B save file for completionist spergs, IMO:
- Don't pick up either the SMG of Side Pack in scenario A, so both are available in scenario B.
- Kill Marvin in scenario A so he's not alive in scenario B.
- Don't turn the B.O.W gas on Lab so the Ivies won't be Poison Ivies in scenario B plus you can activate the B.O.W gas on scenario B
- Using the Cord on the Licker corridor, which is better IMO, so zombies won't appear in the corridor to the basement.
- Use the guest password to unlock the B4F room in scenario B.
- Kill the alligator in scenario A so he won't come back in scenario B, which is something everyone does anyway.

In my first playthrough I remember getting really pissed at the alligator in scenario B because I had no idea you were supposed to pull the gas tank off the wall I thought it was just part of the background. I died like 3-4 times trying to just shoot the gator enough, before giving up and looking up the answer online.
