I got a fancy controller. How are the Atari/Taito collections on Switch? I wanted the new Mortal Kombat one until I read about the latency issues
>>12143840>he bought
New topic I am fucking sick of the 5-07 boss. Doing laps around the arena and waiting for an opportunity to hit it drains the clock, spamming kills me because it just spams bones, and it's almost impossible to both survive the checkpoint rooms with a decent amount of health and not accidentally pick up the knife while defending myself in the air. I am going to eat my system
I can't imagine playing console games on a tiny cuck screen like that.
>>12144000>can't imagine playing console games on a tiny cuck screen like thatYeah, why don't he just use his phone at this point lel
>>12144000I miss when handhelds actually fit in pockets. The GBA SP and DS had good form factors.
>>12143840>paying for emulatorsHow are people still getting suckered into this, man?
>>12147248Probably achievements or some other social shit
>>12147785Switch doesn't have achievements.
>>12147245Those games were designed for a tiny screen.
>>12147248>>12147785>>12147858the Castlevania collections are worth it. the GBA and DS ones at least, the CV 1-4/Bloodlines one is just lazy.but GBA and DS actually had effort put into them with reverse engineering to make them the best versions available
>>12148898>the Castlevania collections are worth it.What makes them worth it?>reverse engineeringThat's not true, it's still just roms running in an emulator. And I can just download the 20 year old rom files for free.
>>12147248>already own a Switch for modern shmups >randomly decide I want to play retro in bed >I can spend ~100 on a second device>or I can spend 20 to play them on the device I already own
>>12149293>i-i must CONSOOOOOM!you're the worst kind of person
>>12149293>I want to play retro in bedHonest question, are you 12 or just a neet?
>>12149298Hang on lol.. You're calling spending LESS money on LESS products "consooming"?I think you have no idea what you're talking about and are just trying to fit in lolz
>>12143840Inferior to the |Atari and Tatio collections on PS2 and the PSP and Xbox 360 if we are now talking about the non retro cancer that is the switch
>>12149250the additional third screen to display monster info and not having to use touch controls in the DS trilogy already makes it wortheasily switching between NA/JP/EU version is also neatHaunted Castle remastered was surprisingly goodthe in-game encyclopedia is also extremely useful.
>>12149293
>>12149309>you're calling spending money on products "consooming"?yeah that's what it means you fucking child lmao
>>12149313So you're paying for a romhack that already exists and some info from the wiki?That really doesn't seem worth buying, I have to be honest.
>>12148898They didn't fix the bugs like Luck not working in some of the games, did they? So rom hacks of the original games on a flash cart on original hardware are the best ways to play.
>repurposing a device you already own is consoomingyou're just a /hhg/ fag trying to get me to buy one of your chinkslop devices
>>12149293This is actually close to my logic, all the collections are still a quarter the cost of a MIG switch or dedicated emulation handheld. I'm one of those goblin people that uses the Switch in desktop mode
>>12149324>buying a product is consooomingyes
>>12149332>I have never spent money on anything and am very intelligent
>>12149341i never said that, i'm just letting you know what the definition of "consuming" is in the context of economicscalm down lmao
>>12149321I'm paying for convenience and because I like Castlevania and I think releases like this are important for preservation and I hope Konami makes more of itMost people seem to have approved of them, really.
>>12149357>>that's what it means you fucking child>tells me to calm downOk bud kek. I'm gonna spend go some money on retro vidya just to make you nerds seethe.
>>12149358>I'm paying for convenienceThe convenience of someone else finding the emulator and roms for you? That seems more like a retard tax if I'm being real.>I think releases like this are important for preservationI disagree. The rom files are already available and can be played in their original state at any time by anyone. And making changes to the original is the exact opposite of "preservation", so there's no way you actually think that.>Most people seem to have approved of themThat's nice. I don't know why you think that makes them worth buying.
>>12149360>I'm gonna spend go some moneyyeah that'll show me lmao
>>12149370I mean, you both seem to be pretty mad about it for some reason. >>12149307>>12149298I'll never understand how you can be so passionate about your hobby while also refusing to spend any money on it.Do you people literally just sit at your desk or laptop 24/7? Because that sounds like an absolutely horrible way to play retro vidya.
How does such a slow board manage to be unironically one of the most toxic on the website? It's betting up there with the containment boards
>>12149395>bettingBatting
>>12149379>you both seem pretty madI asked why it was worth buying, and none of the answers sold me. As I said before, it just seems like a retard tax.Having a different opinion doesn't mean that you're "mad". Have you never been part of a discussion in your life?>how you can be so passionate about your hobby while also refusing to spend any moneyI'm capable of playing video games on devices I already own, and I don't feel the need to buy the same game every time it gets re-released in order to do so.I would never claim someone doesn't like a video game because they don't keep buying copies of it.If you measure passion as an amount of money spent and nothing else, I would sooner suggest that you don't like the hobby as much as you claim to.>Do you people literally just sit at your desk or laptop 24/7?Another strange argument to make. People don't typically play video games 24/7, so insisting that they're chained to stationary devices at all times of the day for that specific purpose doesn't make a whole lot of sense.I really don't understand why you thought that was a good shot to take.>that sounds like an absolutely horrible way to play retro vidyaSitting down at home? You don't lug your Switch out into public places, do you? You're not THAT guy, right?
>>12149410
>>12150608Way to prove you're not upset.
