mario, zelda, metroid, kirby, punch out, contra, castlevania, mega man, dragon quest were all more fun on NES than SNES. not to mention ninja gaiden which didnt even get anything besides a shitty demake. was there anything that actually got better with 16 bit besides FF and mother?
>>12256231It's not as crunched as a handheld but it's still worse than the NES Mega Mans and Mega Man X. Mega Man is a game about shooting and platforming. When the sprite is huge it means there's less room to shoot at stuff from range. You'll note that a lot of the games where it actually works to have a larger sprite are melee-oriented games where the protagonist uses a sword or their fists by default. And they're usually more focused on killing lots of enemies and the platforming is just there to keep it interesting.
>>12256251I was wondering about that, and thought to try putting Mega Man 7 and Mega Man V side by side.The scale is actually very similar, though MM7 is slightly larger.I recall something about MM7 being developed by the handheld team, but don't know if that's true.
>>12253906nah. amiga was only 4channel 8bit. snes could do 8 channels 16bit and had a dsp/fir filter> the Mega Drive's sound capabilities were far betterit's a great chip but comparing pure fm synth+one dac channel to snes 8ch dac is kinda dumb>>12253919>embarrassing lolcow austerspammer has people living rent free in his meth soaked mind incredible
>>12255620nope, I literally played all the NES games in the past couple years after I took the emu pill and I actually grew up with the snes games. was surprised I enjoyed them more. theyre all good though. the challenge and simplicity of the 8 bit games is just endearing to me. plus I really enjoy the 8 bit sound and graphics more than 16 bit for some reason.
>>12256049literally all incorrect except ghouls and ghosts.
Poor Woody, he didn't got a game nearly as good as Mickey or Bugs' best offerings.
Which classic Pokemon games are worth playing, anons?I missed out on the games as a kid, despite really liking the show.
>>12254306the main games and snap
>>12254306Honestly they're all worth at least trying up until heart gold. Including spin offs.
>>12254306All of them, people will performatively hate the ones that came out after they felt they aged out of the series but as someone who got into it as an adult all of them before the Switch are good.
>>12254879yet you use the same guys every time and refuse to use anything else

Doesn't Mario stomp enemies? Do people consider Mario a puncher ? Have I just now realized it ?
Mario 64 foresee
>>12251951You think you're sooo cool, huh?
>mario doesn't pun- ACK
>>12251951Punching really became a thing by the time you get to Mario 64
bros...
Is it just me or is this game literally unplayable? I don't know what the fuck they did to the controls, Wave Race 64 controlled perfectly why did they change it? It feels so stiff an unresponsive, I genuinely feel like I have no control over the game most of the time.
>>12253679as a kid I couldn't even beat it on normal but nowadays it's fine. You have to steer in accordance with the waves, otherwise they toss you around and your steering doesn't work
>>12253679iirc the controls take a lot of getting used to and vary WIDELY depending on the character. Try using a few different characters and see who you can get a feel for. Some are much easier than others to get to grips with. It's a great game but I do fee like the controls put a lot of people off. Once you've found a groove it feels good, but it's quite difficult.
>>12255170Scary if true. You should see a doctor about that.
>>12255946Is Rockstar (North & San Diego) a gaijin studio?
>>12255946You say that but nip games are full of referential humor and puns. When you realize most nip humor is reddit tier trash that isn't funny you start to understand why it was obscure to begin with. As it turns out "kusoge" really does mean shitty games not "quirky hidden gem". Yeah some games don't go west side due to the amount of text but some games really are just garbage that aren't worth playing. Yeah I know Mario is a nip game but we both know that's not what you're talking about it's low effort rpg number 286.
Post only the best edgy games for mature gamers
>>12256439Calls that girl a bitch
>>12256585Insulting your enemies is edgy now?
>>12256420Based Myboy enjoyer
>>12256589Speaking from a redditor mind: He could've called her a shithead instead.
>>12256195Warrior Within is actually very good though
>>12255368yes
>>12252962The one for Black Hole was way worse. I remember playing it via the Gottlieb collection for PS2 and it was impossible to get used to playing it backwards
how often are pinball tables re-skinned?I feel like its something you'd not notice unless you're really into the hobby or the table has an exclusive gimmick.
>>12256270not often these days. back in the day was more common, El Dorado's exact layout was used for 3 different games.a few in the more modern-ish era: Family Guy/Shrek, Spider Man Vault Edition (redid the Tobey MacGuire Spider Man game into Ultimate Spider Man Comic art theme), Woah Nellie/Pabst Can Crusher/Primus. Then there was Ultraman/Halloween which was actually a simultaneous release with 2 skins, followed by Looney Tunes/Texas Chainsaw Massacre.Now Stern is doing "remastered" games but these have slight tweaks to the playfield as well as new art/rules so not quite a true reskin, such as Metallica and Walking Dead.
>>12255354>>12255405Samefag.
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.
>>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.
>>12255006It would be faster just to play normally
>>12248718I remember going on a date with a girl and she brought up Pokemon, I said I liked the games too and then she went off about EVs and IVs and breeding and holy fucking shit, the autism. It was too much for me.
>>12256586Dumbass missed a perfect wife
Isn't it weird how Jigglypuff was shilled a lot back in gen 1 as the Pikachu for girls? It's not even that important in Pokemon Red and Blue, not a single named npc uses one, you can easily miss it, Clefairy a few steps north is a direct upgrade and yet it got a recurring appearance in the anime, got into fucking smash (pretty underserved)Eevee in contrast has actually become the "Pikachu for girls" without any first installment weridness shilling necessary, just by pure merit of its design.
>>12256219>USE BUGS AND GHOSTS TO BEAT SABRINA, CHAMP!>all the Ghosts are Poison>Beedril, the only Bug that can use actual Bug type moves, is Poison
>>12254217just say "purin purin" in the same cadence and it comes out as harmonic
>>12254347need to go balls deep with this whorb
i'm convinced it's someone who got banned from /vp/
>>12254418I have always, from 1998 until this moment, thought that was Snorlax.
I've been replaying the Steam version of the 1999 Aliens vs. Predator game lately, which today is commonly referred to as Classic 2000. Is anyone still playing the online in some capacity?
>>12250652Holy shit, is this a hot take?
>>12255349> Biggest gripe I can see with it is the first few levels where hunting humans from treetops would’ve been such an easy layup to hook people into the gameplay, but somehow they made it awkward. Idk if that’s a controls thing or has to do with the shitty trees and jumping mechanics.You just named it. The treetops is very vaguely fun, but clearly lacking, and then they decide to rape you with turrets every 20 fucking seconds for absolutely no reason.
>>12250645I had no idea about this. I've only played the Gold Edition as well, but it does spark my curiosity to see the alternative as it may have been a better experience. Similar to how I only played Doom to version 1.2 and not any of the later or more refined versions, it is a surprise with the differences that makes preservation more tricky as each version has some quality worth preserving.
>>12255359I'm mentally retarded at programming, so imagemagick is a no-go for me.
Man this expansion really did suck. Like the marine campaign where instead of you roaming around in a horror movie you just get thrown into these stop-and-go infinite spawning hordes. Oh and while there isn't any audio, there are two guys you have to ditch because of they won't leave that fucking elevator.
What's your favorite bit of made-up-in-localization bullshit?For me, Sonic 2's Roaming Romans certainly springs to mind.
>>12256450They call him Atario because he's Atari Mario.
>>12253745kekd
>>12256507Actually, that's Coleco Mario (Colecario). Coleco made the Donkey Kong port. Mario Bros. was done in house by Atari, though.
>>12256450>Mario Bros. (Atari 2600) is not the same game as Mario Bros. (Arcade), so their fan fiction is not fan fiction.That's bullshit and you know it.
>>12256450>AtariThe same people who nonsensically turned "Ninja Gaiden" into a rank of honor?

>>12254974Pfft it's not even on a real Flying Fortress during WWII. What a poseur.
>>12254969There's just something about early 80s games, even though I feel like a lot of people mock them nowadays for being too old and simple.
>>12256263It's been covered up by history but during the late stages of the war when the Luftwaffe was essentially non-existent in the skies over Germany, the Allied bomber pilots and navigators were all playing Tennis for Two during their civilian massacre runs-- i mean, legitimate target bombing raids.
Burning Rangers
>>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.
>>12255728Lately anything Saturn is harshly shat on.
how do you find other fellow retro games fans? do you have a retro community in your area?i had a bunch of good CRT monitors but ended up selling them to scalpers because all my social circle saw them as useless junk and convinced me to threw them away, i had nobody to reinforce me in my hobby and the reasons i had them to begin with
>>12254645I really hope you just made that up for attention. If not you're truly pathetic and don't deserve to enjoy old toys.
>>12254645>help me find faggots to scamfuck off
>>12254683>I regret selling them>I could have sold them for more>This means I got scalpedretard
>>12254645Just talk to us bro
