Why did Nintendo go the direction it did after making the legendary Famicom and Gameboy? Why make the Super Famicom horribly snow just so it can have le pretty colours and graphics? Why make its library full of games where you read text and spam a single button to win. Why did Sega and Hudson do a better job at expanding upon what made the Famicom great? Then they went full kiddie party game mode from N64 onwards. Are they retarded?

>the super nintendo ONLY had RPGs! No fast games AT ALL!!!Zoomers really need to start playing video games and stop rotting their brain with youtubers.
>>11518529It's funny that back in the day, adults were worried about us playing video games.Now we as adults want kids to actually PLAY video games, but they won't do it, they just want to watch streamers and follow rigid blacl&white narratives by youtube "essayists"
>>11518369>horribly snow
>>11518369>frog poster>literal fucking nonsensewow
Post and discuss anything related to NES or Famicom.

Had no idea games were just as expensive 20 years ago for even more primitive gameplay
>>11515765>Ys "R" Us>no Ys games
>>11516721Damn I feel old
>>11517309Nintendo still has the exact same fucking pricing scheme as their games nowadays. Mario Kart 8 is like a decade old! It should be 20 bucks max!>>11517324For what it's worth, the TRU I went to growing up was the only place I ever remember seeing TurboGrafx stuff for sale...they even had a demo kiosk!
>>11517194You mean your mum lol.
>>11517397Playstation didn't have Mario 64 #facts
A masterful fusion of the maze game and the single-screen platformer genres. Underrated.
Short-lived game but it was fun seeing cute girl versions of the Mappy mouse and cat.
>>11517726> police loudspeakers as mouse earsI kneel before Japanese's genius.
>>11516109Because back then before they were called levels or stages individual sections of a game were called maps. So SHE had to conqueror all the maps.
>>11516527>imagine gutting this beautiful piece of history and one of the greatest arcade games ever to make it a generic emulation boxId rather not
>>11516089Well yeah. Namco games never miss.
This isnt a good game.There I said it.
>>11513874Only Arcade Shinobi controls wellRevenge, Dancer, and 3 all control like sloppy sluggish shit
>>11517521They made those changes in 3 but for some reason made the last level hard as fuck.
>>11517583Huh? Revenge controls fine. It's not the game's fault you suck at it.
>>11517521>Like, give me the ability to absorb one more hit, make the jumps one pixel shorter, made the ceiling drop a little slower in the final boss fightYou get enough extra specials in boxes (some are hidden) to exploit during the game. You can face every stage with the shield power, and the one or two that need tight jumps, with the superjump power. With a little practice, it's not that hard to beat without losing a single life, just by using the items you get throughout the game.
>>11513874It's the Shinobiest.
I reached Space Mama's Crater, from what I've seen in regards to this game's discussion, this and Eat at Joe's are some of the hardest levels in the game.I can see why this level is infamous, the first section is fine but the 2nd act is really tough with the tricky jumps through purple lums, the 3rd act has a lot of annoying spikes and backtracking in order to get the last cages.And then you have to fight a boss with an inflated HP, a super long "avoid shit" part where you can't hurt the boss and then her laser projectiles seem to follow a pattern then it quickly changes.I still can't beat the boss because I lose all my lives during the lase part (or even as early as the start of the 2nd act) and I still don't want to use continues.
>>11517267>Apparently the lives respawn if you use Passwords instead of the Memory Card, that might make the game a bit less difficult.They do, but electoon cages you find don't get saved so you're screwed.
Finished this game and here's some thoughts:I didn't found Eat at Joe's super difficult outside the last part, the jumping fishes and the part where you have to wait for a fish to push the balls between those spike balls were absolute bullshit.Mr.Skops Phase 1 was a pain, I knew that I had to hang on the ledge but it doing it is easier said than done, the one part with red platforms though I had no idea on how to jump to the next floor, I had to look how to do that jump on Youtube, I didn't understand the mechanic of Skop's blue projectile during the 2nd phase but once I did the fight was very easy.Mr.Dark's Dare was a really fun level, specially the Bad Rayman race.The final boss was another "lose like 6 lives before you understand what to do", outside the 3rd form the fight wasn't super hard.Overall I like this game, I think once you get all the abilities it gets more enjoyable to find cages on the first 3 worlds or get tings and extra lives, but once you get to Picture City the game gets super frustrating.Honestly I wouldn't blame anyone of using a guide for the cages (since a lot of them require you to touch a certain place to make the cage or the cloud/purple lum that leads to one appear) or the 99 lives cheat, on a blind playthrough you will probably lose most of the extra lives you got once you hit Band Land and farming Tings isn't fun, specially when you don't have the running or the helicopter ability.
>>11515173>>11515185For me, it's rayfag
>>11515173Rayman is our word, you can say Rayma.
>>11515164this part also always filtered mestill, a lot better than getting filtered in band land
Which console RTS was the best?
>>11516186This is the correct answer
>>11516080Z
>op pic doesn't even include warzone 2100
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW8vBkKursEalso, Red Alert 3 is the best because it has campy live action scenes
>>11518223Not retro, fuck off

Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles are NOT one game.They were two separate games, that came out seven months apart from each other, that each cost full fucking price.No, their developmental intentions that fell apart as the result of a fucking McDonald's promotion don't change shit.I'm sick of 2D Sonic game discussion tacitly accepting that two separate, individually inferior Sonic games are one product, just because 95% of the people discussing them weren't old enough to have been fucking pissed off to pay $70 in 1993 money TWICE in one year for two games that were half as long and half as good as Sonic 2.
>>11517457>>11518301Utterly BTFO
do you think there's a subset of Sonic fans who herald this as the TRUE 3D Sonic experience
>>11506515I had the PC version when I was like 5 or 6. Aside from Sims 1 and maybe Mortal Kombat 4 it was one of the first games I ever played.
>>1151705180s hair metal isn't buttrock, retard. Nickelback is buttrock. It's mid to late 90s stuff.
>>11510660Speak for yourself. Granted I never got far, although I think it's just the Saturn version with downgraded special stages. I was very confused when I played it on Mega Collection amd the zone title card and music were different.>>11508686I absolutely love it, whole soundtrack is great.https://youtu.be/yEIwqlXfUVs
>>11506515>Hellfirecommsused to watch that years ago, Ntom64 is still doing it to a small but dedicated audience.
>>11506515it was made by a bible thumper who started that bullshit antstream where you stream video of emulation, each frame being larger than the whole game ROM
Did you play the DKC trilogy as they came out in real time back in the 90s?
>>11515053Because it’s the most popular one and this makes me both unique and interesting.

>>11514717I only played severla hours during a week in 1998, take into account this was Greece.Then I fully played the three of them in a row in summer of 2007. It was fantastic.
>>11514717Yeah, why?
>>11514717I remember renting the first one a few times from Hollywood Video when I was little. I don't remember how much longer it was after that, but I played DKC2 at an older cousin's place some years later. I honestly didn't know there was a third game until I was almost 20.
>>11515396>racing gamesPitstop II came out in 1984.
>>11510163God, I wish.
>>11510175Still leagues ahead of what kids nowadays have to do. Most of them wouldn't be able to figure out to use a disc if their streaming service crapped out. Even if you gave em a floppy that has the instructions right on it zoomies would fucking shit themselves if they had to figure out c: commands
>>11515396>1998 was the year consumer PC's definitively passed consoles in their ability to render 3d graphics98 was a good year for pc graphics but no way close to beating anything that already existed in arcades until 2000s. then we start seeing various arcade manufacturers start adopting generic pc hardware as a platform.
>A re-edition was released as "Daimakaimura [B-Board 91634B-2]" in Japan only.Does anyone know what the actual differences are in the resale version that was released three years later?
Post weird /vr/ ports
>>11510362>>11509621James Pond 1 wasn't great but James Pond 3 was a pretty solid platformer.Aquatic games was also really good.
>>11502495There are other Sega games ported to Famicom like Alien Syndrome and Space Harrierthat's the Tengen version but iirc they were published by Sega in Japan
Aladdin on NESI don't even of all time
>>11505714Oh no, it didn't.VF4 has a 10th Anniversary mode that plays like VF4 but with moon jumps and graphics similar to the first VF, but it's not the original Virtua Fighter with a modern graphics option.
>>11516574OK I didn't know this exist until now.
>europeans couldn't even access 30% of the game because of a bug
>>11517292Holy fuck I posted in the wrong thread
>>11517297I'm glad you enjoyed it so much anon.
>>11517292That's nice anon I got this on my Dreamcast GDEMU I'll have to give it a go
>>11516737tentomon is in the game but not playable. gomamon isn't in the game at all
Tamagochi is gay desu I like the idea of getting an evolution based on your training method so you get different mons without really knowing what to expect but feeding, crapping and their limited lifespan were whack.
What were you doing on September 1996?
>>11515523I was watching Beast Wars
>>11517683nta but I remember thinking to myself about how people born in the year 2000 were adults now, and that was a weird thing, now people born literally yesterday are somehow 18.
>>11515523Probably playing Chrono Trigger
>>11517765Oh man, we will never get another show like this in transformers
Playing Muppets Treasure Island on PC. Entering nursery year (pre-reception year, which is in turn pre-year 1).
I miss racing games like this, where the only way to win was the cut every turn as tightly as possible and one wrong move ruined the entire race. Kids can't handle the pressure these days and they're racing tanks with space laser power-up booster bullshit
>>11516532>>11516387OP probably meant Kart Racers but wanted to include futuristic death racers because he's some sort of elitist for anything with realism applied.
>>11516532It does, you just don't play them. There's a AA Hot Wheels game that launched last year and has been getting regular updates, bet you didn't know that
>>11516387Wipeout
>>11512535Zoomers and millennials played the shit out of Burnout 3. If you're doubtful, try and play through the F1 races with the bullshit rubberbanding
