People don't discuss the NES on this board anymore. Let's remedy that.

>>12249350I grew up with a PolyStation... and I loved it so much, still own Famiclones even now, but in handheld form, those with Sup written on them.
>>12249350Didn't we have a thread like a month or two ago where some anon recommended over a hundred NES games with individual screenshots?
Seen more discussion on Genesis/Mega Drive vs. SNES than I have Sega System vs. NESWhich one do you prefer?For me it's SEGA
>>12255275This is true. My first TV was a tiny 13inch portable with RF only and a dial that you had to turn every time you wanted to tune in to a different channel
>>12255552lol he thinks it's a meme, poor SS spammer

>>12255861I have no idea whether that post is fake but... we all can see how broken this dude is, just by watching his behavior. If anything the post in that screenshot makes him look BETTER.
Turns out, ten years after the Retrobright fad from a decade ago, has only accelerated the yellowing of plastics and made them even more brittle than just leaving them alone. What more is there to really add?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n_WpjseCXA
The lesson to learn here is stop trying to preserve electronics, just figure out how to digitize everything and quit wasting your time and energy.
>>12252603I also remember this. Which means OP is a true blue faggot, not surprising.
>>12252659Your pic still gets me. The narcissist who thought they had the skill to do this, should be poked with a hot poker repeatedly in the eyes for eternity.

No. As far as console casings go, let them age gracefully I say
What's your favorite retro game from each Nintendo franchise?
>>12252293The asterisk that it mogs the fuck out of the entire franchise but yeah, if u like the ‘rpg’ part instead of the ‘strategy’ part of srpg you wouldn’t like it.
>>12249750SMWMinish CapKirby Super StarDKC2Super MetroidNever played MotherEmeraldNever played FEWarioWare TouchedF-Zero GXLylat WarsSMW2
Liking the Minish Cap appreciators
>>12254529Because Nintendo of America skipped Fire Emblem.
>>12255093Literally the series got to America just when it good, shame they skipped 6 though but you didn't miss anything on the nes and snes
What're we playing tonight, Dreamcast bros?
Uh... nothing. I've already beaten Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, D2, Grandia 2 and Shenmue.
>>12255793You didn't say Cannon Spike. Get to it, good luck.
>>12255784Same thing I’ve been playing since 2000… Unreal Tournament
>>12255795I remember playing in at my local shop back when it was released. Looked like an okay arcade game but I'm not interested. Isn't Camy in the game or something?
>>12255817>Isn't Camy in the game or something?Yes. Two whole versions of her. Her SF2 design and the Alpha series outfit, the latter of which is a complete glass cannon, both taking and dealing double damage.

>>12252817Would have never come up with that
>>12255542>>12255543>>12255603Thanks. Now I hope I won't have to live in UK though...
>>12255727Reminds me how when I was a kid watching the Lion King and during Hakuna Matata Timon stops Pumba from finishing his sentence with the line "not in front of the kids" and I honestly wondered what he was actually going to say because there's no way they'd have to pussyfoot around the word "farted".
>>12252910Maybe they do it differently in the states but from what I know you just neck snap the neck on a factory line.
This game is alot of fun.
>>12255329Any of the Capcom ones are good and are well produced. The only real weak one might be Adventures in the Magic Kingdom for the NES. But it’s hardly bad. There’s two other Capcom Mickey games on the the SNES but one only came out in Japan but there’s a fan translation. Ducktales on the NES is considered a minor classic on the system. Darkwing Duck plays kind of like Mega Man. Check them all out really.
>>12255347Okay cool magical quest 1 and 3. Think 3 only came out in Japan but not a problem. And ill check out gone quackers. Should I play the gen 5 or 6 version??>>12255365 Thats cool. Ill check those out also ive never played those games either. Ill check out some more
>>12255607>And ill check out gone quackers. Should I play the gen 5 or 6 version??The only version of Goin' Quackers that's worth playing is the PSX version.Basically every version of the game has some unique stuff but the most important thing to know is that there's three main level sets: PSX, PC/N64/DC, and PS2/NGC. And the best one by far is the PSX exclusive levels.
>>12255707Okay thats cool. I'll play the ps1 version.
>>12255707>>12255770Surprised the dc version isnt more in line with the ps2 gc edition
Here we post stupid game mechanics.I'll start, natures and EVs introduced in Pokemon gen 3>natures>oh you catched a new pokemon? Well there is a 2/25 is useful, a 21/25 is neutral and a 4/25 chance is fucking shit.>EVs>oh you used your physical attacker to beat that special attacker? Now he is gonna be weaker on the long run, you should have defeated 50 poochyenas before starting your adventure.
>>12253515>it's difficult for any casual player to grasp how any of these things work.i think that was precisely the point desuthe idea was, they KNEW some fags would get rly into this stuff. theyd inevitably rip the game apart and learn exactly how everything works, then try to game the system. and for that kinda fag, its pretty fun albeit needlessly opaque.but most of the players were not that. most players were just kids using their starter and spamming the same move for the whole game. and the games are ez, so you CAN do that.what they were prolly trying to avoid is a scenario like now, where everyone and their mother now knows about these things, and is worrying over what amounts to a fractional difference in a few stats. theres a reason they made the base game so ez, and the post-game so, so much harder. they were just trying to accommodate for the 2 very diff types of players>>12255015it depends. as far as showdown nowadays, i mostly just play gen 1 randos, cuz its just fun to sit down and play. and i def prefer that over the faster paced/minmaxxed gen3 and onwards. but thats for multiplayer, where you can just change all these things in the sim. for the actual game, its just the frontier where it matters. and even then, you can still not go full tryhard and succeed. about the only rly important stat imo to deal with right away is SPD, cuz its an "all or nothing" stat. youre either faster or slower. so just focus on getting that one up to "x" threshold or ignore it entirely if its a lax or whatever
>>12255029stat exp wouldn't fix anything with what we have now. it's a less flexible system for pvp and was already much more tedious to max out than gen 3 evs. any mistake in ev training can be fixed with berries and getting a specific number of evs is trivial with pen and paper. but with how the stat exp rounding works with multiple party members, true minmaxing stat exp is extremely agonizing (see pic). back then there were only 2 builds - all 65535 or 0 attack for confusion damage, which is only achieved by a very autistic method killing over 30k magikarps. now trick room exists so there'd be 4 spreads for 0 speed. how the fuck would you minmax stat exp on something like reuniclus with 0 attack and 0 speed?
>>12255043Yes, they've been on record saying that the random base stats and unpredictable growth was deliberate from Gen 1, and was supposed to help make each Pokémon feel more individual.One thing that was commonly understood about Gen 1 at least, was that jumping straight to level 100 by abusing infinite rare candies, resulted in a weaker Pokémon; the why was not so well known or understood in playground communities.That's all irrelevant to the main story though, since the game is deliberately set up that you can just grind to high levels and steamroll through all trainers that cap around the level 60-70 range.Gold and Silver introduced Pokérus, the mysterious faux-status condition that "accelerated growth", and was understood to be beneficial, and gave slightly more insight into how effort values worked.As soon as Crystal version introduced the concept of battle facilities starting with the Battle Tower, where winning streaks and getting to the 50th battle was the goal, and earning Battle Points was a new kind of currency for rare and exclusive items, it became necessary to understand the mechanics and how to maximise stats at level 50 or 100.Ruby and Sapphire introduced the Macho Brace, a held item, which promoted stat growth at the expense of a speed penalty, as well as the Effort Ribbon (and ribbons themselves), as a means of identifying if a Pokémon has fully allocated their effort values.Emerald version introduced new effects for certain berries so you could raise friendship, and selectively reduce effort values for certain stats. The berry descriptions on the surface sound bad, but when you know about the concept of effort value allocations you know how good it actually is. It also introduced the "Pomeg glitch" though.I could go on, like about power items and destiny knot breeding, bottle caps, nature mints, mirror herb, ability capsules, etc, but the point is they gradually introduced tools needed for building effective post-game teams.
>>12249309Do you fuck dudes?
>>12255285The Battle Tower you described for Crystal is how it worked in Ruby and Sapphire-onward. Crystal's was very different.
Burning Rangers
I know this game because of PSO.
>>12255139Because there are basically just three levels. Level 4 is always the same and doesn't play like the others.
>>12255204Is that why is it hated? But there's replay value. Also the levels aren't short
>>12255204I like that it's short. Concise and to the point, no bloat.
>>12255248It isn’t even really hated, more went under the radar.>>12255601It was a $60 game. I mean I like it but I’d never pay that price.
Mega Man 2 was huge for guys who grew up with the NES, they say it's the best one.Those who discovered Mega Man through emulators, Anniversary collection or Legacy Collection, what's your opinion on this game? Did it stand out as the best one for you?
>>12254963I'll tell you why 4 is bad as soon as this boss health bar finishes filling up
>>12254959> that doesn't any "that part" bullshit.For people who actually played these games at the time, this kind of late-game issue had virtually no affect the overall opinion of the game. If you played Mega Man 2 enough to reach boobeam more than once in your life, you probably loved the game already and had played through the robot bosses and earlier wily stages many times. And if you thought boobeam was bullshit, you still just made sure to get there with extra lives and were still able to make it to Wily and beat the game.
>>12255435>there's some parts that are notably intended as harder, which while not exactly good design in a game where you can pick any levelApplication of this kind of logic is how games lost their soul.
>>12254971I like anytime I can use Rush. MM3 is great, but the weapon select menu really sucks.
>>12254959>4 is the best
Now they will be known as Geoff Crammond's Racinghttps://x.com/micro_prose/status/2001246330685976921One curious fact over GP2 and GP3 is that is making use of Hatcher's patches
>>12254129this. Crammond was working on Stunt Car Racer Pro for PC that got cancelled. lets hope its revived
>>12253408Why the name change?
>>12255580Lolberty Media owns F1
>>12255456And he's inside a .. METAL GEAR..?
>>12255580Even if EA didn't have exclusivity which I'm sure they do given that's been a thing since like Formula One 2003, ain't nobody paying for the F1 licensing rights for discount emulator ports of 20-35 year old games.

Loved playin this shit 25 years ago. Any other similar games you can reccomend? It would be nice if it combined a bit more basic jump platformingIm also wondering what other art the artists made
Poor man's Popful Mail?
>>12254242There was a copy of this at the rental store and at school we always referenced this game when making fun of people. "Yeah, he plays Chiki Chiki Boys *snicker* *guffaw*"
>>12254253And then you and your black friend would play NBA jam ? Did you like the part where he said he liked your moms pajamas?
