It's a decent challenge when you're a kid, the intended audience. Most of the praise this series gets is from people who grew up with it. I used to love AlttP too but trying it as an adult made me arrive at this same conclusion. What it does well is character design and vibes. Link looks cool, the world is cool, etc. Makes you want to like it and forgive any aspect of the gameplay.

Similar critiques to what BOTW&TOTK got recently: too much wandering, not enough enemy density, music not as good as LTTP, etc

Nobody was really all that hype about Ocarina of Time, except the very small handful of nerds obsessed with low poly 3d graphics.

Bonk / PC Genjin is a great little series that gets skipped over too many times. While Mario games were only great twice, and sonic 2.5 times, bonk had 5 good games.

Hudson made some bangers in their prime. Adventure Island was also a choice series.

Holy shit... Does it play as badly as it looks and sounds? The screen title and cinematics are screenshots from the show. The music that plays during the cinematics sounds like a lullaby for retarded kids.

What was the real reason N64 didn't get any of the Capcom fighting games from the 90s? Don't say cause the system was too weak, cause that's bullshit
26 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>12911603
The fact that Capcom released RE2 for it and originally intended RE0 to release for it would indicate that Capcom didn't think that way.
>>
In general what killed third-party support on N64 wasn’t necessarily the storage constraints of cartridges (although they were definitely a factor), but much more it was the manufacturing costs and lead times of cartridges compared to CDs.

Burning data into thin plastic discs will always be faster and cheaper to do compared to ROM chips
>>
>>12910048
The arcade market was really strong in the 90's. When consoles like PS1 and Saturn started to replicate the arcade experience at home, Capcom was longer interested in step down versions. It could do a version of it, but you'd have to pick what features are being cut out.
>>
>>12910048
Maybe they tried and they looked horrible because of the blur filter. Rampage looks like it would work with the filtering. On ps1 you have Mr Driller, can you imagine how bad it would look on N64. Gamecube seems to not have that restriction.
>>
>>12910491
PS1 and Saturn fighting games are huge because they use music recorded from the arcade versions instead of actually playing the music like the arcade versions
The arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 2 is 27 MB, which can absolutely fit on an N64 cartridge

>Anyone here keep an NES collection?
Yes
>Do you regret it.
No, why would I regret it?
>Do you get them CIB or loose?
Loose. Don't pay for old cardboard.
>What is your advice for someone just starting.
Rome wasn't built in a day and collections aren't built overnight. It takes time to build a library.

Also, only buy the games that you actually intend on playing. There's nothing better than a curated collection. Also when your collection starts growing you'll find out just how valuable space is.

And learn how to solder and do simple repairs.
>I've already bought Mario 2 on NES personally.
That's a good game.
>>
>Anyone here keep an nes collection?
yeah
>Do you regret it.
nope
>Do you get the cib or loose?
loose only, manuals I keep an e-reader with the games I own manuals on it.
>What is your advice for someone just starting?
Aside from what >>12916148 said, I'd say buy max 2-3 at a time, play them for a while and then sell what you didn't enjoy playing or feel like you'd return to. If you have doubts or are unsure, put it aside for a while and see how you feel about 'not' being able to play it.
good games can be cheap, infact 99% of games you'll probably be interested in playing are going to be under current game msrp so like 70-80$, that being said you can get something fun like cobra triangle or ninja gaiden for like 15-20 bucks.

I was always a N64 kid growing up and I feel like I've mostly neglected the PSX over the years. So lately, I've been going through the PSX library on original hardware (MiSTer FPGA), really trying to experience the full gamut.

So far I've beat (with a score from 1-10):

>Crash 2 (8)
>Crash 3 (8)
>Crash Team Racing (7)
>Spyro The Dragon (7.5)

on difficult mode? I checked, took me 2:12 hours to beat MM2 last time I tried, but my memory made MM1 seem shorter than it is, as it took me 1:41. Not that different.

>manwhile MM1 Wily stages are so fucking hard
maybe it's just a case of me having played these games too much then. Because I have no trouble with either game's Wily stages. MM3 is the one that trips me up.
