What are some Famicom games that the west missed out on?
>>
>>12587476
A fuck ton.

Some of the best ones you can play right now with a translation patch?

Radia Senki (Chronicles of Radia): fucking bad ass Secret of Mana real time action RPG with AI controlled companions. It's a blast.

Final Fantasy 3: No introduction needed here, it's the first FF with a job system and my personal favorite in the series.

Lagrange Point: Late era RPG that pushed the NES to its absolute limits visually, looks almost like a SNES game.
>>
Wai Wai World (1988) and Wai Wai World 2 (1991) — Konami crossover platformers featuring characters from their games (like Simon Belmont, Goemon, TwinBee, etc.). Think a proto-Smash Bros. with solid platforming and variety. Very fun and replayable.

Gradius II (1988) — Excellent horizontal shooter sequel. Bigger, flashier, and more varied than the first Gradius (which did come West). One of the best on the system.

Joy Mech Fight (1993) — Nintendo's own robot boxing/fighting game with tons of customizable mechs and great animation. Surprisingly deep for 8-bit.

Adventure Island 4 (Master Takahashi's Adventure Island IV, 1994) — The last official Famicom game. More open-ended/Metroid-like than earlier entries in the series. Excellent quality.

Crisis Force (1991) — Intense vertical shooter with beautiful graphics and effects that push the hardware. A late-era highlight.

Every Famicon game by release date, genre, and developer:

theres an absolute fuck ton on nes (and snes). it wasnt until gen 5 and the insane success of ffvii that japanese devs stopped being so sheepish about localizing.

my personal 2 favorites and absolute must plays are kid dracula and sweet home. the west got kid dracula on GB but its a botched handheld port.

You are annoying. It would be good to start using those long dashes in otherwise ordinary posts to troll demihumans like you. Oooohh look I'm a scary scary AI — — — — — —

>>12587534
You're so dumb. You think it's only the long dashes that put your worthlessness on display?

>>12587531
came to say this, great shmup

>>12587534
While those long dashes are often a sign something is written by AI, it's the entire post that fucking screams it.

>the west got kid dracula on GB but its a botched handheld port.

No it's not. It's basically a sequel, a completely different game.

Do you prefer being ankle deep in garbage, or do you want at least nominal sanitation? Perhaps you don't care about the board, but some of us do, and trying to contribute would be a way to try to make things better.

I like to talk about retro videogames on the retro videogames board, so I think it would be better if the rules were enforced for that.
But then, I'm also white.

Maybe reddit is more your speed, chump.

>>12590208
And yet you're here. I thought 4chan was too Reddit for cool and irony poisoned faggots like you?

he's a shitposting loser that just got back from a ban, hence the saltiness

He's too stupid to evade it? Not a very skilled shitposter then.

Are we already not? The moderation on /vr is highly inconsistent. Obvious spam gets left up while certain on topic threads get pruned ASAP.
