What's better: the OG trilogy or Wily Wars?
>>12279175OGWars for the oddity many years later
>>12279175OG. The music is better and the game plays better.Like some other anons said Wily Wars is worth experiencing but not better. And Wily tower is a cool addition.
>>12279175Wily Wars with NES QoL hack. Haven't seen one. Don't know why, given the popularity of the original games.
The original games play better.I spent a while trying to make an improvement hack for the slowdown/long pauses/glitches/slower objects/Proto Manlet. I'll do a test run later and share it if it doesn't break.
>>12279635I patched this days ago and it plays with no music on Genesis Plus GX, could you please share your ROM mate?
English or Japanese
what are yalls favorite rpg on the snes besides the super obvious ones? meaning:>Chrono Trigger>Earthbound>FF IV/V/VI>SMRPG>DQ I/II/III remakes and V/VIIve noticed theres a tonnnn of translated jap only games to choose from as well which im super interested in. where should I start? I dont really care for strategy rpgs.
>>12276167I wasn't actually impressed after my first playthrough either. But then I couldn't stop thinking about the game and I replayed it and that's when it clicked with me.>>12277695It *is* a remake but the graphical style, tone and entire gameplay balancing are completely different. What I like about the original game is its unique atmosphere that's somewhere in between post apocalyptic despair and comfyness, it's like imagine we're 50 to 100 years in the future after Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and people have started settling back into the world. Instead the remake is more like 00's anime and is all about wackyness, and focuses more about all the new extra content it brings to the point that the main story often feels like a "sideshow" they felt obligated to deal with (you don't even have to use any of the main characters from the original, like ever, they're just there among) to the point it feels completely diluted. It's like the remake expected everyone to already be familiar with the original so might as well tell new stories, which is why it's dumb to pretend like it doesn't matter that if we don't have the original translated because we have the remake.
Romancing SaGa 2 is easily my favorite. The concept of bringing other nations under your kingdom is great. Then how the main bosses can change depending when during the game you confront them is awesome as well. None the less it is the introduction to the glimmer/sparking mechanics in which you learn weapon skills mid battle. I also enjoy that it encourages the player to use status effects on standard enemies like mass blind foes, stun lock threats that can one or two shot guys, or paralyze them so you can cut down weaker enemies.
>>12272964that cover art looks like JOJO comicbook volume.
I really liked the Breath of Fire games.

Does Pokémon yellow: special edition still hold up today
>>12279034If Yellow had Misty following you around, and yelling at you for fucking up her bike, and being angry and jealous whenever you talk to another girl, but when you become champion she congratulates you and kisses you on the cheek, I would consider it to be one of the best RPGs of all time.
>>12279016RB is better for pokemon variety and that's about it.
>>12279543I think you're overlooking the much simpler and effective strategy of committing arson so all of the gym's water sprinklers go off, causing Onix to become vulnerable to Pikachu's Thundershock.
If you’re determined to play one of the original games this is probably the best one cause realistically you aren’t going to find anyone to trade with you.
>>12279543nidoran is the speedrun pokemon for a reason.
Atari should make an FPGA version of this thing with a mechanical keyboard. Everyone is in love with the new Commodore 64, hell even IGN gave the thing a perfect score and uploaded a 20 minute video glazing the thing. If the guys running Atari today have any brains they'll do the same thing with one of their old computers.
>>12275334these dumb as fuck faggots live in a bizarre fantasy land where shitty ataris and spectrums sold more than the c64. it's embarrassing.
>>12262587there arent that many good games but it does do some types of graphics better than c64 despite limited palette. I found one for $40 at the worlds longest yard sale and got it running with a disk emulator but the only games I really enjoyed were Picnic Panic and some Gauntlet clone
>>12274939>my retardation is hereditary>i live in a tard ward and only know tardslmfao what a tard
Why? I mean the thing is emulated perfectly. It has practically zero peripherals other than joysticks. What is there really to do with an FPGA in this case? With a C64 you can see why, you can use carts, expansion bay stuff. And that shit's out there floating around, piles of it. What if you could plug in Atari add-ons into an FPGA Atari 8-bit computer what then? You'd be hard pressed to figure anything out to do with it.
Without mentioning any brand this time because it really isn't an ad, does anyone else almost entirely use wireless receivers in their retro consoles? I'm waiting on a Gamecube one to play Metroid and Rogue Leader
>>12279430I switched to purely wireless controllers since I moved to a bigger home and I don't miss the wires one bit. I've had much better results using adapters and conversion kits than with third party controllers, further testament to just how well console manufacturers were making their crap back in the day.
>>12279430gamecube is a case where sometimes you might want the original controller. mostly due to the weird way the triggers feel where they have a kinda button when you fully press them in. And various other things like octagonal gating on sticks and the button layout all add up
>>12279585I played Perfect Dark with an OEM N64 controller I put a GC-style stick in. I'll brute force a little inaccuracy or extra precision for comfort
I believe if you want to be the absolute best you can be at video games you should probably pick one controller design and just stick with it for everything.
I believe that's dumb as hell
Which one was the better 3rd Street Fighter series?
>>12279352It's great discussing retro games with you guys.
>>12278053>This isn't a comunity thing, that's just how everyone is.Then those people are also fools.
>>12276743So you don't really want to play the game on the sincere level. You want to look at pretty 2d graphics and button mash.
>>12279015I didn't even mention the graphics here >>12273850
>>12279524You also didn't mention anything unique to 3rd Strike besides training mode shit and the gay paris. Canceling specials into super has been normal for an eternity and almost every Arc System Works game that isn't Granblue has crouching only combos.
>let’s turn this GBA spin off into a mandatory story important gameWhat the fuck was Nomura thinking? It’s been over 20 years and I’m still baffled at this decision. The rule always used to be that portable games were side stories or self contained events. Now you’re forced to have a PS2 and GBA in order to understand the Kingdom Hearts story.
I played that shite and got stuck at some door that needed a bunch of cards that refused to drop for a hour straight, what a piece of shit
>>12271915these are ‘people’ paid to make you run in circles and solve puzzles for a living, did you expect them to be ethical or care about your finances?
>>12271915>What the fuck was Nomura thinking?That is a GREAT question. I played through everything including the goddam mobage UX, and I STILL have no fucking clue what's going on.
>>12279381I had the same thing happen. Apparently that's not what you're supposed to do and there's a way to get through quickly. Idk maybe that's just some bullshit and I'm] misremembering. But it totally fucked the whole game up for me because I was done after that.
>>12279468Same. I can sit down and try to remember what happened in each game and then maybe peice something together. But off the top of my head I have no idea what's going on. Isn't that nomura guy just and artist and not a writer? I wonder how he came to be in charge. Maybe paying the animator to write the story was the Disney inspired way to do it or something
Shmup, Beat 'em Up and general arcade thread.>What are you working on right now? >What was your last clear?>What will you play next?

>>12275471Nyeh what's up doc?
Play arcade games
>>12275540Strongly tranny-coded backlog.
>What are you working on right now? I am getting my pussy fucked my Espgaluda.Which is impressive because I didn't even have a pussy when I put my quarter in.>What was your last clear?I finally got a copy of Puchi Carat working correctly. At first the later opponents seemed impossible, but after I discovered the "intentionally damage yourself to get extra gems and kill the opponent instantly" strategy, the game got a lot more manageable.I played as C-Moon (she's so cute), and her ending was amazing and it's easily my favorite part of the game so far.>What will you play next?Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.
What is your favourite? For me it's the russian version of BDSM called Pathologic. Very few enjoy it but some say it holds pleasure within the pain.
Pathologic is what I would call an actual art gameIt’s anti-fun on purpose
Call of Juarez

I like playing mario 64 and jacking off.
>>12279272Too late man my penis is legitimately deformed the entire shaft to head is smooshed making it look like an oval instead of a circle. My foreskin is grotesquely stretched out asymmetrically forever. Try no fap? I did yeah it's not going back to normal I have to use a glorified strap-on made for penises. You're not the first person to tell me this and like all the others this information would've been helpful to know when I was 12 not 32.

What was retro gaming like in these countries?Like, for example, was it mostly real consoles and games and not clones and bootlegs, did you guys prefer Street Fighter like the UK/America or KoF like Spain/Portugal/South America, etc?
>>12277360In Finland you were either a computer gamer or pic
>>12277360Benelux is just a dude wearing a russian hat.
>>12277360Cold
Finland had the curious phenomenon of the "cave flying" games which were basically couch multiplayer Gravitar clones. The fad was started by TurboRaketti on Amiga, but became even more popular on DOS.
>>12277864>so a few companies around my place added computers to the tradeable items (for saved up hours)What does this mean?
>>12277337It would be possible to make this figure. Custom figures that have been created for a long time. I remember Wizard magazine used to have a section dedicated to people who created custom figures, mostly for characters in high demand, but for whatever reason, never were released.
>>12277505Yeah I bet I could get somebody to custom make one, I know the aftermarket for 40k figures it pretty nuts

When the Dualshock first released did you expect it to become the blueprint for future controllers?
>>12277807it greatly depended on what type of games you played and whether you read gaming magazines and manuals. ape escape was the showcase for the controller, it had a bunch of things you could do to demonstrate using it like driving the remote control car or paddling on a raft. if you read magazines, they made this a big deal to sell the controller.
>>12277467This looks fantastic... I still don't see it beating the DualSense for me.
>>12275420yes, pretty much immediately, two sticks wasn't always useful but sometimes it was and there's no reason not to have bothi do prefer the asymmetric stick type though personally
>>12275547Nintendo made it so that you could only play Smash with the damn stick instead of the obvious choice, the pad?, considering their stick was of poor lastability.
>>12276707>. A low left d-pad sucks after a while, while a low left thumbstick is something you lie your thumb flat across and don't have to keep it bent and press thingsYeah people who suck up the WII U and Switch shit controllers can go fuck themselves.
