>>12879105I use save states to train hard sections/later levels in games like metal Slug and Contra 3 so I don’t have to keep running through the easy intros, then I go and 1 CC the whole thing
>>12879121cute celes
>>12879105If you used save states, guides, asked someone for help, fast forward, RA, cheats, exploits, skips, extra lives/continues, OP power ups and moves, QOL hacks/mods, rewind or searched for answers, you didn't beat the game. Not only you cheated the game, but also yourself. You brag about your "achievements" to others, yet deep down you know that it was all fake. You didn't experience anything, the challenge, the frustration, the overcoming, improving your skills. You just took a glimpse of what the game has to offer, the same level as "beating a game watching someone else beat it on YouTube". Even a crown made with fake gold, still shines from far away. You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't learn. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference.
>>12879157Lives are OK because they are earned. Continues are not ok. The devs give you a certain number of lives for a reason. If you can't beat the game within those lives, you can't beat the game. A continue run is a huge asterisk. It's ok for practice and that's it.
>>12879132Thanks anon!
>>12879105how do you even know if an ntsc snes is turned on, those switches look like some plasticky chinese bullshit
>>12879169the switch is in the up position revealing the intended grey color underneath its yellow exterior and the red LED next to the controller port is illuminated.
>>12879169They are made of plastic, yes.
>>12879105using "hot take" in this way is anti-retro
>>12879105>I like how all you had to do to play Super Famicom games is just remove two small plastic tabs in the cartridge tray.
>>12879105American SNES design is hideous and bloated. Just looking at it brings me to rage.
>/vr/ - Nintendo
>>12879105The American SNES design looks like a brutalist toy, while the Japanese/PAL design looks like a Japanese appliance.
>>12879105>>NES Metroid is better than zero missionIs like saying metroid 2 is better than super metroid
>>12881067zero mission is an absolute joke, a lobotomized walk in the park made for casual retards. metroid even with its flaws is an actual game that requires a pulse to get through.
>>12879105Wow, those were really hot, anon.
>>12879157This, but for using AI.
>>12879164The devs also give you limited continues or continues at certain sections for a reason. Unless we are talking insta respawn credit feeding.
>>12879157,>you didn't beat the gameI don't care.
>>12881505Got em!! OP BTFO
>>12879105I agree with the SNES design. Way better and more iconic than the Super Famicom.
>>12879105>save states when used responsibly make retro games betterBecause retro games are shitty on their own
zero mission's normal mode is just frankly badly balanced, even when you account for people doing low % runs and whatever metroidvania uncertainty, 100 health e tanks just obliterate the ability of enemies to kill you after you get a handful.
>>12882117hard is significantly more functional as a videogame but it's locked to a second playthrough without emulator memory shenanigans.
>>12879157Yep
>>12879105>>GC was the best gen 6 consoleNintendo starved themselves of storage for the N64 and they doubled down with those gay mini discs, they should have gone bankrupt, not SEGA, Atari or NEC
>>12883857Neither Sega nor NEC went bankrupt, and any game that can’t fit into 1.5 GB isn’t worth playing.
most git gud people are only good with one or few games.lot others git gud are liars and arent gud.
>>12883883>Neither Sega nor NEC went bankrupt, Well, NEC caught flames and went the way of the Nokia. I don't think they do anything consumer related. As for SEGA it's only a technicality...Sorry for the AI slop but it's the first video I found about the subject https://youtube.com/shorts/YpuLaALVtPwand any game that can’t fit into 1.5 GB isn’t worth playing.
>>12879105I Hate To Say It But Piracy Killed The Dreamcast
>>12884072>>12883883I fucked up and didn't reply about the 1.5 GB thingy...You can't be fucking serious when the best PS2 games are like 5GB if not 7
>>12879105>achievements and by extension retro achievements exist for 2 bad reasons> to compensate for a game not enjoyable itself as designed to justify continuing to play it> to encourage people who don't actually like playing games to play games.
>>12881507Claude beat Pokémon. Seethe.
>>12884027Mark has footage of him 1CCing a lot of different games including Star Fox 64 on Hard with all medals and never letting his teammates die.
>>12884854So can a 3 year old.
>>12884913You can run a local Claude model in a few minutes on your computer, ultimately taking up less time, space, money and resources than a child that will only take up more of all of those as it ages.
>>12879105>save states when used responsiblyimpossible, they are more addictive than heroin
>save states when used responsibly make retro games betterBro I played Zelda II on NSO and that game is objectively better with save states. The checkpoint system in that game is waaaay to punishing.
>>12879105Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on SEGA Master System is the franchise's peak.
Street Fighter II is super overrated and MK2-3 were better.
Mighty Bomb Jack is one of the most forward thinking and underappreciated video games of all time
>>12885675It's an 8/10 but some of the emerald locations are bullshit.
>>12885982I agree that the one in the clouds is absolute BS, besides that only Gimmick Mountain fels cryptic, all others were OK I guess, still better than Special Stages.
Out of all the Metroid games I've played (Original, M2, Super, Zero Mission) the original is by far my favorite
>>12879105"Search/Action" is a better name for the genre than "MetroidVania" in my eyes.
