why do people call the genre "metroidvania" when the correct term, the one that the Japanese who invented the genre use, is search action? "metroidvania" was used to refer to the Castlevania games with Super Metroid exploration (as opposed to classicvanias), it was never intended to be the name of the whole genre.

I'm in disbelief at how extraordinary this is. Easily the best videogame of all time up to its release. So much better than any videogame in history up to its release regardless of systems.

Mulan got a decent bootleg on Genesis... also an arcade title called Legend of Heroes which isn't Mulan explicitly, but pretty obvious it's meant to be, and it plays pretty good, both better than all the mediocre titles that Disney put out officially.

That's the one with the weird music? Shit's sounds like it came from a horror game. Very playable game otherwise, the dev hasn't been identified as far as I know.

I just beat it for the first time ever after putting it down as a kid, it really is as good as they say. What game should I play next? I'm not to familiar with the Zelda series (this was my first zelda game).

The soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting in this game. Unfortunately, you’re never going to play a Zelda game again with such a great ost. It had the perfect blend of arranged classic tracks, and most of the new pieces became series staples.

The logistics for International trade is a nightmare. It was even worse at the turn of the century. Selling exclusively in-country makes sense. Them pulling out of the trade deal that would have brought them overseas also makes sense when you realize they would be in direct competition with the gameboy advance, and that a lot of their IPs were largely unknown internationally.

>>12476756
Even more so when you consider that another niche Japanese handheld, the NGPC, had just been pulled from the West after about a year on the market.

The logistics for International trade
Didn't stop Nintendo from selling the NES or the Game Boy or the SNES and didn't stop Sega from selling The Master System or the Game Gear or the Nomad and didn't stop Sony from selling every type of electronics known to man and didn't stop Nissaan or Hyundai or Subaru or
Mitsubishi and it didn't stop whiskey or sake sales or any of the other billion things routinely exported from Japan from being sold overseas so maybe it's not the roadblock you seem to think it is.
>Them pulling out of the trade deal that would have brought them overseas also makes sense when you realize they would be in direct competition with the gameboy advance
So their plan was to win the competition by not competing at all and somehow avoiding the spectre of Nintendo by staying exclusively in Japan....where Nintendo is based? Pretty fucking sure the game boy advance was in Japan, too.
>a lot of their IPs were largely unknown internationally
So market the ones that were. Everything OP mentioned (Digimon, Dragon Ball, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece) was at least known if not an actual big deal in west by that point and so was Final Fantasy. And presuming western indifference to japanese culture was incorrect anyway. It was 1999, not 1975. Anime and manga were not some weird obscure shit any more. I lived in a small town full of white people and my friends were passing around Ninja Scroll and Akira on VHS

So no, blowing off the largest market in the fucking world turned out to be a bad idea. And the bottom line is: how sound could their strategy be if it failed so spectacularly? You can argue with me but you can't argue with the results.

I always preferred consoles and would often just go for the console ports of everything, but recently with a few arcade titles without proper console ports getting my interest, and how Myrient's going down which made me download a ton of arcade titles in panic, I'm playing through some of them and it's been incredible.

I'd say my main issue before, and why I preferred console ports, was the lives/continues, back then we'd play as long as we had quarters, but now? I have inifinte quarters in my emulator, so how do I make it more challenging? Do I have to 1CC all I play? It's part of the reason I never got into this sort of emulation before, but now it's solved... I've simply stopped caring about having the most challenge, I'm getting older and time is shorter every year, more stuff to do, less time to do all things I actually want to do, so not focusing on lives and 1CCs, and simply playing, putting on a quarter whenever I run out, it's comfortable and it's like fullfilling a childhood dream of mine too.

I've got all the quarters I need, baby! No need to ask mom for more and hearing that it won't be happening. It's comfortable and I'm enjoying it. Anyways, how do you guys go about emulating arcade titles? Do you go for the 1CC every single time or do you add a limit to your quarters? How do you decide that limit? Or do you go infinite?

They probably operate on the same business model as things like gift shops. ie, targeting people who show up and impulsively buy whatever just because it's right there in front of them. And also people who come in hoping to find something, and then justify to themselves paying way above market value, because "fuck it, I already came all the way over here, might as well get something and not leave empty handed" Which probably isn't a ton of people, but I assume most of these stores also sell all their stuff on ebay as well.

All I know is that I will never ever bother checking out any retro game shops ever again.

I bought a couple games from gamestop a decade ago when they started selling retro games. It was annoying how much of a crapshoot it was. Was I going to get just a disc? Would it include the case, god forbid manual? You never know. Prices were pretty good but that part was annoying and made it not worthwhile to gamble on CD/DVD games. Was decent for picking up carts though.
>>
I have a bunch of stuff I want to clear out, but I would rather not have to deal with shipping (and fees, though I intend to price to move, so I'd be charging under ebay). What forms of payment, outside of cash, do people tend to accept these days when selling at cons or other small events? Zelle would seem to be ideal, since at least for my bank there's no fees, but I don't know how many people use that. Of course there's PayPal, but I know that has fees and I don't get the feeling that using PP for p2p in-person payments is en vogue nowadays.
