>no real TR clones
Death Trap Dungeon, Urban Chaos, Heretic 2, Prince of Persia 3D, Soul Reaver, and a whole host of shitty low budget euro games no one's ever heard of.

As for IJATIM, it had very strong level design and puzzle design, unfortunately controlling him was aids-retarded. The tank controls on Lara Croft felt almost effortless, where-as Indiana Jones literally felt like you were actually controlling a fucking tank. It was bizarre and off-putting.

It didn't sell because it was too overtly weebish and it was marketed to a Western crowd. I remember seeing it on display and going "Well I know I'm not buying THAT".

Even other weeb games like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy have artfully done covers that attempts to hide its weebshittery.

Anything but 1.6. Too many issues with 1.6 that none of the others have. A quick recap and repaste makes them all work fine (maybe band for dvd). But seriously 1.6 has a few issues no other unit has.

1.0/1.1 is the same as 1.2/1.3/1.4 but maybe the extra fan might need replacing. The benefit of the 1.0/1.1 is most likely easiest to TSOP flash and easiest to add ram and swap cpu (if you know someone with a bga machine)

Anyway OOT discussion thread since I'm too lazy to make a new thread and the OP's topic is barely a topic. Jabu Jabu is the least good of the child dungeons. Of the three pre-Master Sword dungeons of OOT/WW/TP

Personal Preference:
Lakebed > Tower of Gods > Jabu Jabu
Goron Mines > Dodongo Cavern > Forbidden Woods
Forest Temple > Dragon Roost Cavern > Deku Tree

Child dungeons were the weakest of Ocarina. OOT Child Link had it easy compared to the other two in obtaining the Master Sword.

What's your favorite bit of made-up-in-localization bullshit?

For me, Sonic 2's Roaming Romans certainly springs to mind.

Some of the Japanese localization changes are funny, like in Crash 1 he only gets hit with one box regardless of how many you miss because apparently Japanese kids found it upsetting when he gets nailed with like 20+ boxes

>>12265325
NoA was still sticking by their "one Link" canon in Wind Waker, only letting WW Link be an exception because that took place in the gap between OoT and ALttP when the original Link was away. It's only in TP when they gave up because the backstory of the Sages and Ganondorf couldn't fit in their canon at all.
>>
>>12265998
Did they actually do that? Really baffling because you can't argue reincarnation might be offensive to christens. Because there's no way that logic would hold with an Indian work featuring a character reaching nirvana. Or something featuring the Greek GODS.
>>
>>12266007
It was probably more not to confuse people or to treat Link like Mario, Samus, Kirby, etc characters who are a single character.
The whole thing reminds me of how Super Castlevania IV has a line implying that Simon fought Dracula before ("It is time once again for Simon Belmont to call forth the powers of good...") when the Japanese version just directly retold the story from the first game's manual.
>>12265823
The Zelda games have a pretty straightfoward throughline once you acknowledge that the third branch exists because OoT's ending and Wind Waker couldn't lead into LTTP anymore. In general, the rules of thumb for Zelda continuity are:
>Is Ganon present?
>Is he Ganon or Ganondorf?
>Status of the Triforce?

Speaking of Castlevania, gotta shout out to the English version of Castlevania III inventing the character of the Poltergeist King (who gave the Belmont family their iconic weapons)

An I cant believe this old and obscure Snes RPG has one of the best animations in the system.
Makes FF or even Lufia 2 to shame.
Wish the mantras said wether a magic is low mid or high level.
Btw is it better to finish each character chapter or cycle through each one? I feel like I would miss the characters of the chapter I am currently for a while.

What do you mean? Are you saying when you select an action during battle they animate from their neutral pose to their skill stance?

10/10 and one of the best in the series, equal to or better than 2. it’s the longest, most satisfying adventure of any of the classic tank re games, and has the best music in the series.

Not really. It's just GOG but with worse games. I don;t like them, because they've been keeping the newest Flatout 2 update from coming to GOG, despite them allowing this update to come out to Steam. That's just petty.

>>12258357
Decent question.

>>12258357
OOT perfected 3D adventure game controls, which everyone copies these days (especially Souls games). However, OOT fans will at least recognize it's short comings are largely because it was casualized for newcomers to 3D, and how it had technical limitations. That's why MM is better on most levels, and non retards recognize that.

Meanwhile, Chrono Trigger is just a good looking SNES game with good music. The gameplay is largely boring (amoung the most simple and brain-dead of all Square's SNES game) and the story and characters are underwritten - things that are necessary for a good JRPG.

FFVI is awesome, and it's only issue is that the balance is all over the place. It's a good normie JRPG entry point. Unlike Chrono Trigger, it's not going to put you to sleep - and the party members at least have SOME characterization. There's also way more to do in the game especially the world of ruin.
