So when are they going to make component cables for gamecube that A. are decent and B. not $400?
>>12478842Only retards are paying $400. My official component cable was $120 and I bought it two years ago.
>>12478830Buy a Wii.
>>12479227Missed opportunity to shill >>>/trash/
>>12478830I dunno, you tell me.
I still have my original cable but the rubber coating or whatever is hardening over time and feels like it's going to snap soon

>>12479237>There's always alcohol, free retro games, and hikkikomori life. What a waste of talent, oh well, "so it goes."It’s not that bad. You can enlist and die for Israel like a true American patriot.
>>12478673Yes, but they're expensive now.
>>12478673>>12480387This. It's why poor people are shitting up threads crying about them now.
I don't drink, so meh.
>>12478319>yet he needs three screens displaying the same thingshe's a performative gamer
Picrel for me. Every couple of weeks my siblings and I would decide we were finally going to beat Athena. But sadly it's one of the most obscureshit games on the NES and we never got too far. I still think about it sometimes. And sometimes I still feel the pull to go back and play it again, but it would probably be with guides and at that point why even bother.
Dynamite Headdy. Always died in the tower level.
>>12478895It had more potential with the top down sections. Could have had another underwater part that was less gruelling.Just an unfortunate release that needed more time in development, or feedback from people who would tell them.3 on nes kind of bridged them being able to select any turtle like in 1, but play style of 2.
>>12474378as a kid probably DKC or Turtles in Time. My cousin and i could never get passed the snow levels in dkc nor Krang in TMNT
Time Lord NESI could never figure out what the pirate level wanted me to do as a kid. Going back and trying it years later, I got bogged down in the ww2 level and could just about limp into the last stage. Honestly I just wasnt having fun with it and gave up.Ultimately I am happy to let this game remain the one that got away.
>>12474378I doubt anyone's every beaten Athena without a Game Genie.
Post games that would be made available to you if you were serving time in a cozy Norweigan solitary confinement cell
>>12480009>>12480060Why are chuds like this lmao.
>>12480426Well if they're holding him against his will then they should make him comfortable, otherwise it be considered torture which is no Bueno. This problem could be corrected by just shooting him in the head though. >ps3Not retro
>>12480426I'm pretty sure he did say a few racist things too.
>>12480426Sometimes I do think American prisons are better for having rape and shanking in them, especially against this Zionist
>>12480009^this
I know harddrives and whatnots seem to be popular around here, but this is a question for the collectors around here.Do you and where do you import games? I live in a PAL region and I recently made my PS2 regionfree and I'm looking to buy some games I was never allowed to.Naturally I mean sites that sell all retro import games and if anyone know any good ones.Also general discussion. What have you bought recently? Are you looking for something specific?
>>12480595I do too, but I want to own the actual games I play.
>>12480593If you plan to actually play your games and not use them as decorations you should look at used goods marketplaces like Mecari or Yahoo Auctions . Then you can hire a proxy service to order and ship it for you.
>>12480628Yes, the idea is to buy games to play, not to display
>>12480593I used to get most if mine from ebay back when it was cheaper. Consolegoods used to be alright, UK based and got a few mod chips there too. Not sure what it's like these days. Sometimes I stumbled upon random sites when searching for a specific game
>>12480595^This.
I'm assuming pic related, Monkey Mayhem from Time Splitters 2? How much more racist can a level get? Just look at the mission description:>"Some evil circus clowns have ENSLAVED the performing black Monkey niggers and forced them to carry their WATER MELONS! Free the black Monkey niggers by shooting the WATER MELONS out of their paws, but aim carefully..."Wow I'm surprised Free Radical Design (Rare?) was able to get away with this blatantly racist joke. Even by the lenient standards of 2002 it still feels like the ESRB would not allow such mature content in a video game unless it was rated AOAlso on the topic of Time Splitters I should ensure this thread is somewhat high effort I.E. pitch a few questions to anon like:>Who is the most powerful character in the TS Trilogy? (Lore-wise)>Who is the most powerful character in the TS Trilogy? (Gameplay-wise)>Who is the least powerful character in the TS Trilogy? (Lore-wise)>Who is the least powerful character in the TS Trilogy? (Gameplay-wise)>Who is your favorite character in the TS Trilogy?>Who is your least favorite character in the TS Trilogy?>Who is the highest IQ character in the TS Trilogy?>Who is the lowest IQ character in the TS Trilogy?>Who is the most based character in the TS Trilogy?>Who is the most cringe character in the TS Trilogy?Comment too long.

>>12473464I wish this got a full translation.
>>12473464Japan can be alright sometimes
Basically any Tom Clancy game. The more retro you go the more racist it gets
>>12473464Always weird to see this thing in Square's lineup and Uematsu's music
>>12473425
How is it still unsurpassed?
>>12479209To be fair 90% of the game happens in cramped corners, so i guess it's alright.Later on as the stages grow in size, you get a plasma gun. Which has the best reloading animation and sound FX.I'm almost always firing a couple of shots and reloading just to hear that high-pitched mechanical whirl, even though it has a huge clip size.
>>12479125I don't know, I heard the Xbox port is technically impressive but still worst way to play the game
>>12479217I love the plasma rifle too, I'm happy they brought the design back for 2016.
>>12479223It's not technically impressive.It looks bad, stutters and load a lot (due to low ram and slow hdd) and run at 10~20 fps. Black is the opposite.
>>12479125meh it's just ok
What went wrong? Why did it fail so hard in America?
>>12482662>that somehows proves that people didn't know Toriyama?No, just the ones in America who mostly didn't even know or care he existed for much of the 90s.>had the games released people would have recognized Toriyama's art, reviewers and marketing would have mentionned it's by the maker of Dragon Ball (Z), etc which is exactly what happened when DQ8 releasedMost only saw the free demo for Final Fantasy XII that came with DQ8 as the main selling point. The US was still firmly in the FF camp.
>>12482662>You're focusing on Dragon Ball being "not popular" when Dragon Ball Z was, since 1990, and that somehows proves that people didn't know Toriyama?Jesus Christ.The point was that neither Dragon Ball nor DBZ had any international distribution outside of France and Hong Kong at the time Dragon Quest released internationally, no manga until 1993, and fansubs had a 1-2 year timelag as they were Laserdisc-to-Amiga for subbing and then video capture card-toVHS mail order to anime clubs in universities. I didnt get my early white cassette tape bootleg fansubs of freiza saga until 1996 and those were from chinatown and they used chinese names for every character. There was nothing like this in 1989, anywhere west of HK.Magazines like Animerica that shared early DBZ info with the west did not begin publishing until 1992.I am not saying "regular DB was less popular" I am saying "people not living in Japan had literally no possible exposure to any Toriyama works and never knew the man existed". You are really struggling with this concept. Its not America centric, it was the whole fucking world lacking any form of distribution.>I don't believe one second you lived through any of this btw. I very much did, but I didnt own a fucking time machine. You reek of being an under 30 year old wikipedia kid who sees japanese release dates of games and media and are oblivious to the insanely long propagation time of information in the the pre-www world. It is beyond your comprehension for someone born after 1995, akin to how gen alpha are not being able to imagine a pre-smartphone world.
> Why did it fail so hard in America?Because it came out in late 1989, that's it. That said, I still know some people that played and loved it at the time.
>>12482247I never knew a single person who did. Nintendo was using the term "game pak" as part of the marketing push to not be associated with anything related to the video game crash in the early 80s.>Hope you're ready for some fun game paks!>I thought we were having cartridges.>Oh no, I said "game paks"! That's what I call cartridges.>You call cartridges "game paks"?>Yes! It's a regional dialect.
>>12483071>What region?>Washington state.>Really? I'm from Seattle and I've never heard it before.>Oh, uh... it's a Redmond expression.>I see.
>get CRT PC monitor>install CRT TV shader
i just rip a screen off one of the windows of my house and hot glue it around the bezel of my crappy Vizio smart tv i got six years ago
>>12482918Yes, that works. People who say it is "retarded" are idiots who know not what they speak.
>>12482950No it's retarded. >>12482920 is right but the scanline ones make the image kind of dim.
How did King's Field get NPCs better than any other RPG ever made?
>>12482918nothing wrong with that, emulators in the '90s had those simple scanline filters and lookin'-good filters (2xsai and super eagle and whatever they were called) to make up for the difference, if we'd had modern TV shaders back then we'd used them.
I've been trying to get into retro VG for a few weeks, to be able to be in touch with my ancestors of yore. But none of them hold up to modern standards. Is it just something that you had to be there at the time?
>>12481535Mostly not retro I'm afraid.
>>12481586cool story bro
>>12481535comfy image, i see no issue
>>12481593>wordsalad but its japanese culture!!lol faggot
That's not retro, bro.
How do you stop him?

>>12479658Mega Man Victory is one of my fave youtube channels. Been watching for a couple years now, it basically replaced MMA/UFC for me as that has gotten immensely boring. Also contrary to popular belief Heat Man is the most dominant rm not Air Man.
>>12479658buster, same as always
MARIO DON'T DO IT NO
>>12479658With weapons.
For me, it's Angel Man
>>12479495the artstyle in dw3 is quite nice, its good sprite work but thats inferior to the original game which really pushed the hardware. Grunge and hyper-realism, dw1 was a 360 game 10 years ahead of the curve. Digital world being made of reused human garbage instead of being a stylized anime world. DW1 also had a shit load of mini games like the holy trinity of final fantasy games on the PS1 , versus mode, its just very fully featured. Yeah the mechanics are a little obtuse- numemon, fat tyranomon when you are going for greymon - that is part of what keeps it relevent today. Consider how long it took for squaresoft to try and do an ATB battle system that involved movement on the field- thats effectively what DW1 is. The invisible bridge was a pretty mind bending moment that i doubt anyone could ever forget. DW3 had the best story of the ps1 DW games but if you are into autistic collectathons i think DW2 has better combat.
>>12479495>Numemon fucking ruined DW1.Filtered. If you don't want one, don't let your digi shit all over the place next time.
>>12480758some people are born indian anon
>>12479495You get Numemon when your digimon's stats aren't high enough for any other evolution. Would you rather a digimon just die it they don't meet any evolution requirements? At least you can do things with Numemon like put it into Monzaemon.

uh oh, /vr/, you're waifu just found your favorite arcade cabinet and got a game over. What game was it and can you beat her high score?keep in mind she has god luck and is basically the Yami yugi of games
>>12480886>gfthats a man in a dress anon, it's your bf
>>12480863Is she fat in this scenario? She's fat, right??
>>12480863If it's my wife, probably Dr. Mario or Puyo and no.>>12480945We're not all gay like you.
>>12480863I would say that my waifu has fairly good, but not exceptional luck. She does game, but they don't really show what kinds of games.Arcade games and pinball tables have unfortunately been difficult to find around these parts for a long time, but when I did find them, I always liked the Time Crisis and House Of The Dead cabinets, since that was a kind of game I couldn't experience at home.House Of The Dead fits her style more so let's say that one, and then accounting for her not being a gunslinger, I'd say that maybe I could.Perhaps we would repeatedly one-up each other's scores for a time.

Anyone else prefer the original Star Fox 2 boxart than what we got in 2017?
>>12476789Maybe, but I imagine the art would've been more different bwtween regions. The Japanese and European art of the first game have the iconic shot of the team looking on in space while the Arwings fly overhead, meanwhile the American art changes it to Fox by himself with the Arwings looking more frantic. I think the Japanese/European art would've emphasized the team like the final box, but the American cover would've shown off the ships and walker.
I like Lylat Wars as a name
>>12476726>Anyone else prefer the original Star Fox 2 boxartliterally why though?
>>12481253The EU box is awesome
>>12476726No, I don't prefer the original Star Fox 2 box art "than" what we got in 2017, because "than" doesn't belong in that sentence. I prefer the original box art TO what we got in 2017, because that is grammatically and factually correct.
