I can't believe people are paying hundreds of dollars for SD cards for this thing
I thought there was only one expansion SD card for it?
>>11357201There's 2 and a 3rd is coming soon, but the first 2 sold out and are now out of print so people are paying hundreds of dollars for them.
>>11357192well it's called rEGRET
Is there a good reason to play MK1 when 2 exists?
I don't think Mortal Kombat is a very good series.
>>11352240>make cool shit like Shao Kahn for single player>locked behind the trash mode that is MK2 single player
>>11355798I also owned on SNES. There are 5 difficulty modes on that MK2, and I was able to finish the game with nearly every character in "very easy" mode while being only 12 years old.
>>11346975Is there any reason to play 2 when 3 exists?
>>113574413 is a downgrade. They added lots of unnecessary craps like dial-up combos to compete with other fighters at the time. But MK was never meant to turn into a Street Fighter.
Which one is better?
>>11356913If two things are different, one is better than the other. That being said I think people who played DX still have the "Sonic Adventure experience", but it is objectively slightly uglier than SA1 (and buggier).
SA1 is the last peak sovl Sonic gameSA2 is the death of the franchise and its final transformation into jump the shark gimmick slop
>>11357234>Casinopolisshame about this stage
>>11355981The first one. Second one is a downgrade with a lot of features cut compared to the first game.Basically Sonic Adventure is a standalone subfranchise - and it expands the tendency of adding various characters with the variety of gameplay, even with their own plots.Adventure Field adds the feel, that you are actually in the world, not just running through, but actually are in this world, that even keep changing as you progress. Day-evening-night, various places to explore, NPC plot lines through their dialogues and the newsstand - all of this makes a world, a place you are in. While SA2 is just a level select menu.
>>11355981They're both pretty meh desu. I was amazed the first time I played the downhill city level in walmart back in the day but it was disappointing any time since. They feel like phone games.
What's some games for women?I picked up a PS3 for a really good price and want to put some PS1/PS2/Remastered games on it as a birthday present. The girl in question is a big fan of PS2 horror so I've already put the Silent Hills and Resident Evils and Haunting Ground on the HDD. She's a big GameCube fan too, so if there's any Nintendo-adjacent games that'd be sick
>>11352584Didn't see your answer, thanks!
>>11354254Koudelka.
>>11354254Is she a goth? If she's like punky you could put some of the Tony Hawks on there
>>11355718JRPGs are pretty long, so I want her to get through FF7 first before I install another one>>11355882I played Tony Hawk splitscreen with her once and she didn't like it
>>11357425>I played Tony HawkOnly tomboys would enjoy playing this type of game or any other sports game.
>dude the Saturn version is better because you fight a second Tyrant for no reasonSo this is the kino additional content I keep hearing of... Give me Directors Cut Advanced mode over this any day
>>11356669Backgrounds look like ass too. Only arguable improvements are the models and apparently they required the gameplay to be altered from the original. Good or bad idk
>>11356061Her ass in the remake was decent but way smaller than her ass in the original
>>11355667>analog
Those models ITT are not how any of these models would look in game. These are all upscaled and lack specific quirks like how the PSX model would be all wobbly and jittery, yet the Saturnd model less so.More importantly I will not believe that this is the actual Saturn model until I see proof. There aren't any community tools, at all, for the Saturn version of the game and last time someone showed a supposed Saturn version model (the tick) it was an empirical recreation of it by a literally-whoOP is probably the same schizo who kept spamming that RE1/REmake image comparison, except the image was modified to make RE1 look colourful than it really is
Are there any that are still considered the best in the genre and better than post-retro ones? Is there any consensus on the best?Any that's not complex for the sake of complex and feeling like work?

Which one of the games recommended in this thread either need a joystick or are much better with it?What about Tie Fighter?
>>11357030With Freelancer I don't recommend a joystick. It has pseudo 3D combat. I know that sounds weird when one sees it is fully 3D but all control of your ship is about being aligned and centered horizontally to your screen. So while you can be upside down or otherwise move perpendicular to objects actual combat is more like airplane-like dog fighting.
>>11357030tie fighter for dos can be played with mouse, i think all games starting from tie fighter for win95 require a joystick which is kinda sad, because it plays fine with mouse, i kinda prefer it even cause i've played like that from child
>>11357430Can you play it on Windows 10 with mouse?
This games controls are fucking awful, even resident evil plays better than this.
>>11357401Welcome to PS1
>>11357401This. No iphone touch controls. What were they thinking!
>>11357401I think they're fine
>>11357404They do and I honestly didn't notice any difference. The camera angles were nearly the same. That game was like a copy that used dinosaurs instead of zombies.
To be fair, you do need an IQ above 100 to understand them.
What are other games that could be amazing but are shit solely because of unfair, imbalanced difficultyJust ignore people who tell you to git gud and insist the games are fair, unless they can provide a blind playthrough that shows the player isn't dying over and over again. If a game is good and fair, there should be at least one blind playthrough showing that
>>11355595The don't have the time to play their games. And if they did they would suck because playing takes the practice that they can't gain through developing.
>>11352934Examples of what OP is talking about: Handegg level in Tiny Toons SNESBabs levels and the bumper car levels in Tiny Toons 2 on NESProbably the entire second half of Tiny Toons on Genesis
>>11355970Just stop sucking.The handegg level makes use of a core mechanic of the game, the dash mechanic, just try to react quickly and either jump or slide, it's a short level and very generous, you can reach the end even if you get stopped a lot of times.What about the 2nd half of Genesis Tiny Toon filtered you?Also reminder, this games have all passwords. You can resume from the last level you played any time.

How did everyone forget about the most infamously hard game of them all? I managed to finish this game in one day though thanks to the emulator having slow mode and instant replay.
What are some of your favourite places in retro games?
>>11342448
The shipwreck northwest of Seyda Neen, near the mouth of the river.When I play a thief/bandit type character, that's where I stash my fat loot.
>>11357296I like the boats and shipwrecks because so many of them have moon sugar, and I like to make my sugar stash as big as possible. It's actually a pretty decent "potion", and more fun thematically than other potions.
Why didn't Tecmo make any Ninja Ryukenden games for the SNES?
>>11352562the second one was already a chore and people fatigued by the third. it wasnt as cool anymore and the difficulty turned people off. they were eager to play the original NES game because of the cool cache of a good, edgy ninja game with anime cutscenes, but it was not enough to stomach the constant stage setbacks and knock-back punishments they trolled you with
>>11352562They didn't make any for any other console until the Xbox.
Better question is why they decided to include Ryu Hayabusa in DoA, he's actually been in it since the very first game in 1996. It's certainly cool but it's just so random
We need a modern ninja gaiden Souls like
>>11352828The only noticeable enhancements that we would see from NES games that made to SNES were mostly graphical, since NES had nearly the same gameplay capabilities. Once I had my SNES I saw no reason to play again the same titles with these updated graphics and same gameplay that I already had played on NES before.
I never grew up with, nor have I ever felt compelled to play, the Atari 2600 until recently. I've been mostly playing some of Activision's output, but what are some other interesting games to look into, or even other 8-bit consoles from this era? Something about the simplicity of these games has been interesting and I wanna dive further into these older games.
2600 games are dirt cheap, like 1-2 bucks a piece at your local retro game shop. Pick some random shit off the shelf and give it a go
>The best argument for composite is some waterfall effect running through the worst composite implementation in console history.>Running on a down scaled arcade board whose library mostly consists of arcade style games and portsComposite shilling is a US low end consumer set cope because low entry sets lacked anything but, RF and composite.It is a shame because low end sets through RGB looks charming.

>>11357068Fidelity and developer intention is not the point of discussion here, the point of discussion is what most people had available for gaming. Here's a photo I sent to an online friend, and he asked what movie I was watching. It's obviously Silent Hill, and he thought it was a live action film.Yes, obviously having a better signal will result in a better image. That said, there is a relevant phrase that goes something like "don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough". For the majority of users, RF and composite was good enough and this was reflected in the included hookups for the Genesis/Mega Drive.
>>11357269>Fidelity and developer intention is not the point of discussion here. The point of discussion is that I have imaginary friends who say stupid shit that supports my insane hot takes.How convenient
>>11357420Your understanding of the conversation all but proves your dementia is killing you, Valerie.
TFW I had to return my Nintendo tape to the video store before I could beat all the boards!
>>11355661oh yes they very much did
>>11355914I was introduced to NES by neighbor kids who lived down the alley from my family. Those kids said "end guy" instead of "boss", which I still kinda like. That's one I haven't heard anywhere else, but it wouldn't surprise me if they'd gotten it from some other kids somewhere.
>>11357368I remember little kids occasionally saying Intendo instead of Nintendo.
>>11357378I did this.

I honestly didn't know germans were capable of comedy
>>11355040Downloaded Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning back in the day and my friend loved it, but he's both a massive Trek and B5 turbonerd
>>11356857The game is full of nudity.Russian culture has been through a wild ride in the past decades. We went from 100% being censored by the Communist Party, to the 1990s libertarian explosion where absolutely everything was allowed in art, to 2000s hangover where people started to restrict themselves a bit, to the modern day where we are somehow supposed to act again as sexless prudes. I can't wait for all former Soviet citizens to die off already.

Finally, a good jrpg.
>>11354698Id prefer if Golden Sun threads didnt start with an antagonistic lie. I want to talk about the game not start a flame war.
>>11354698Goyslop Sin is literally baby first's RPG for those who grew up with a GBA
>>11354698When is somebody going to hack Broken Seal and Lost Age into one game as originally intended?
>>11355179Agree. All style and no substance. Worst thing about rpgs is you have to waste a long time before you can conclude it's shit.
>>11357257I had always wished to go back to GS1 towns when I was playing lost age. I remember there was some flying boat glitch where you could get back to the mainland but there were no towns obviously.
