What's your favorite Ninja game on the NES that isn't any of the Ninja Gaiden games?
>>12889215Goemon the Mystical NiggaNinja-Kun
>>12889215Ninja Kun was ok.Dunno if it found it's way into USA/Europe
>>12889215I can't think of any especially good ones I've even played. Only Kid Niki and The Legend of Kage. I have to choose the latter then
>>12889189The NES arguably has the most interesting console library because of how much you can see game design evolve through it's lifespanA lot of stuff people think is just obvious common sense today was established on the NES
>>12889215Monster parrty

俺のファミコンで「謎の村雨城」をプレイする
>>12889215TMNT I guess.
>>12889213I fucking love the Electrolab, it's so fucking solid and beautifulalso, the invention of a jew engineer. He claims he got Nintendo USA's permission to do it, he even licensed some games, but finally cracked under argie customs pressure for gibs and left the country
>>12889440god damn it how did I not think of that
>>12889238>The Legend of Kageyou should play demon sword.
>>12889493I thought they were all shady operations but I might have to investigate that.
Nes had some fun puzzlers . Reasonably priced too
>>12889189Shitty console.
>>12889215I really like "Bad dudes vs dragon ninja" just because of the story and the ending.
I replayed Gargoyle's Quest 2. I like the game but it kinda falls flat on replay value once you know what to do, the discovery was what made this one good.
>>12890119source ?
Thoughts?
>>12890547They made it RF so both the NES and SNES could be plugged in at the same timePretty pointless today, I have an AV Famicom myself
>>12889362>socks/sandals >both are guilty Nuke it again
>>12890616>They made it RF so both the NES and SNES could be plugged in at the same timeReally? Wow. That's a great story. I heard that after this was made Miyamoto had a celebration party and did naked cartwheels down the office corridors of Nintendo's HQ in Japan. Elvis came back alive via magic and started writing music for them. Really happened.
>>12890119Shitty opinion.
>>12890632great opinion for a trash console. back the in 80s it was considered cool. people taking about that shit now are seen as losers and retards
>>12889215Yo! Noid, if it counts, because fuck that generic ninja nigga they replaced him with in japan
I don't think that NES Astyanax is very good. But I did like it as a kid.
>>12892991but why not just play through the game again on the completed file if you want to start out overpowered?
>>12893260>challengeBased
I have never played Sqoon, but it looks kinda awesome? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMGEp91Wx04
>>12890547RF-Only is gay. The Famicom AV is cool but I still prefer an AV-modded original model for the design.
I learned the word "melee" from NES Robin Hood.
Every NES game I had as a kid>TMNT>SMB2>SMB3>Chip n' Dales>Tiny Toons Adventures>Duck Tales 2>Double Dragon 2>Mission Impossible>Astérix>The Smurfs>Defender of the CrownGames I remember playing with others>Double Dragon>Double Dragon 3>Super Off Road (4 players)>Super Spike V'Ball (I think we played that 4 players too)>SMB/Duck Hunt>Saint Seya (Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque)>Dragon Ball>TMNT2 Overall we leaned heavily towards platformers, + Double Dragon (every kid who had an NES had at least one game from the trilogy, it was the hottest thing, meanwhile it's like nobody knew Mega Man or Castlevania) but at least I played some games only released in Europe and got some four score action
>>12894986You didn't rent?
>>12895226Where I live there was (still is and it applies to streaming) a law that stipulates you can't rent anything unless it's at least 9 months old. As a result the rental system wasn't developed at all. IIRC there was one video rental store in town which at some point just turned into just an automated kiosk, but I'm not sure if they even did games. Once I got old enough to actually buy games myself (12+ years), I'm positive there was no rental, however for a medium sized city, we actually had 3 different video game stores, all located next to each others. People usually sold back games to them for store credit (or cash, but then you get less) and then get new games and so forth.
Where is Castlevania and how do I get there?
>>12893260Speaking of Hot-B fishing games, why is the Black Bass 2 box art so zesty?
>>12889189You know remember this gem?
>>12896074Is that game really so good? I think maybe it's not. It looks and sounds cool though
>>12896321Nigga just download the ROM
>>12895826Funny
>>12896327I don't want to because I already played it 35 years ago and I think it wouldn't be worth even the small trouble of trying it again.
>>12896074It's a Rare game on NES so at some point I expect there will be some bullshit such as in order to win you have to do nothing or there is a boss with really fast health regen except you have no way of knowing it
>start playing this>the field of view thing on the top down parts is super annoying and ugly but okay I'll deal with it>miss rate for attacks is like 40% miss chance, including spells>How the fuck do I heal? Inns? Nope. Spells? yes but apparently you can't learn it until you're at least lvl5, grab a boat, reach a new continent, and pay to upgrade your stats. Even though there are at least 2 dungeons and 4 towns on this continent. Okay but you can buy tents to heal... Nobody sells tents in the first 3 towns. In fact most of the towns feel completely pointless.>Fine I'll grind to lvl5 then>grinding for the thief is super annoying because characters only get exp for the enemies they personally kill and he can only kill 1 enemy at a time and it always takes at least 2 hits, misses non included. To earn 3xp per kill and you need 100 for a single lvl up.>make it to lvl3, suddenly half of the enemies are super strong and I can't get the spells that work against them yet. And remember I still can't heal. I'm thinking okay, they have to yield a lot more exp and gold to make up for that right? They don't.So now I'm thinking, I have to create new lvl 1 characters, to replace the two that I made lvl 3, and do the exp grinding and only lvl up once everyone has enough to reach lvl5, and only then hurry the fuck up to get the boat and reach the continent where I can finally upgrade my stats and learn new spells. And I only know about that because I checked a guide, otherwise I'd naturally be wasting my time in the dungeons that are on the starting continent.I am NOT having fun holy shit. I can handle the bullshit progression but if that miss rate doesn't improve I don't think I can take more of this.
>>12896448It's okay, you don't have to play to the end of the stage.
time to watch all of the english subbed kinamania videos again and immerse myself in nostalgia for a console that came out 10 years before i was born
>>12896074I already got my fix of NES ISHMUPWE (isometric shoot them up with elevation) with this other gem
I'm too lazy to do it in picture form for now, but here is my personal top 100 NES/FC/FDS + moreI may have forgotten a few
>>12896803Not a Lolo fan?
>>12896803The fact that Iron Tank isn't in this list made me want to play Iron Tank
>>12897583I liked 1 but it was too simple, 2 was fine3 can go fuck itself>>12898154I haven't beaten it (yet) and I didn't think it had top 100 potential. Maybe I'll reconsider it but for now consider me filtered
Did you order the AVGN game?
>>12899471No, I'd rather have a buffalo.
>>12896461I only know about the Ultima games from documentaries about the franchise but it's evident they barely knew what they were doing back then when it came to design.
Best rpg for nes? Gota handheld for snes nostalgia but might as well see what's on the NES too. Not shy of quality of life romhacks either
>>12900172It honestly doesn't get better than the FF and DQ series, play those first and then we'll talk more
>>12900172Mother
>>12900172I've heard good things about Metal Max
>>12900172>>12900176>>12900768Cosign on DQ1 and Metal Max
>>12903063I got 30, 31 if Sacross counts (missing an S)I didn't do diagonals
>>12904104Putting numbers in a wordsearch draws my ire.It also drew my eye to the fact that you missed Golgo13.
>>12904128My eyes are tired but yeah I don't know how I missed Golgo 13
>>12889189one of my fondest memories is waking up on christmas morning to find a brand new nes under the tree. me and my bro played contra all morning :)in the evening the whole extended family gathered around our tiny crt to play duck hunt
Is Fuuun Shourin Ken as bad as people claim or did everyone get filtered?
>>12903063so many fond memories playing noghunt after school
>>12904782For me it was Ninjases, City Donkey and Konggon.
What's your favourite unlicensed NES game?
I'm trying to use this program to write to a physical FDS disk. I have a Super Mario Bros. 2 disk with nothing on Side B so I want to put All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. on it. The FDSKey part works, but whenever I reconnect the Expansion RAM to the FDS and insert a disk, it gives ERR:NO POWER. What does that mean? It has a completely useless ReadMe. Is it because I'm using batteries for my FDS? Or because my Famicom is USB-power modded?
THEY DONT WORK. 2 OUT OF 2 I BOUGHT GET GRAY SCREEN OF DEATH. WHERE THE FUCK ARE LEGITIMATE MODERN PLAYERS
>>12906412The Famicom I bought works. Probably because it's a top loader. The front loading NES has a terrible mechanism. I won't recommend the Famicom for everyone, the controller cords are a real concern. But definitely consider the AV Famicom with a converter, or the top-loading NES. Also, clean your carts with isopropyl and a qtip, that removed most gray screens for me.
I enjoy the music from NES Gauntlet.
Robocop sucks but the ED-209 in it looks pretty cool. Bosses made of background tiles or whatever can be impressive, although some of them look bad because they don't move enough
I've been playing Fire Bam and it's alright so far. Well except from completing an entire Zelda 2 style dungeon only to find out I can't hurt the boss at all because I was supposed to enter another area first but I couldn't have known that since there is no logical progression. At least there are no real consequence for dying.>>12907230Have you tried Robocop vs Terminator?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgPWm4hY8Cg
Also this happened
Man I really don't get this game. So I lost all my lives against this boss >>12907237 and used a continue, and then the game kept going as if I had cleared that dungeon (can't re-enter it, new shop in its place).Then I went into another sub dungeon and it's the second time I clear a sub dungeon only to go back to an alternate version of the hub forest where there is this enemy that I can't hurt with anything and I can't enter any door either, cue losing all my lives and using a continue and again the game keeps going like I've made progress.
>>12894986I had kind of a weird collection of NES games, there was some absolute dogshit (I was a dumb kid who didn't know any better) in with some pure kino.>SMB2>SMB3>Ducktales>Bart vs. the Space Mutants>New Ghostbusters II>Incredible Crash Dummies>Maniac Mansion>Little Red Hood yes I still own thisI also had a couple of the unofficial piggyback carts (like LRH) that were a 4-in-one and a 15-in-one respectively, which included some shit classics like Dudes With Attitude and Chiller in among basic tile games. Pic related.Ended up buying Kirby's Adventure and Zelda II from a bargain bin towards the end of the NES's shelf life, and bought a few more games since then, but those are the ones I grew up with.
>>12907289>New Ghostbusters IINice!
>>12907290Thanks anon, it's one of my hidden gems on the console. I actually just went back and played it a few weeks ago for the spooky season.I did originally have Spy vs Spy, which was also good, but I swapped it for NGB2 mostly because I didn't have anyone to play it with.
>>12906371>my Famicom is USB-power moddedWhy?
>>12907339Because that's how I got it from eBayIt's a fairly common mod, even though America and Japan have the same power jacks. Idk, you'll have to ask the japs who sell Famicoms on eBay.
>>12889215Kung Fu Heroes if that counts as a ninja game

>>12896461HP, which is determined by your level, is by far the most important stat in Ultima: Exodus. For example, if you're level 1 (150 HP) and you get poisoned, it's probably a death sentence. If it happens at level 25 (2550 HP), you ignore it and keep dungeon-crawling. You need levels.I used to have a team of wizards and clerics that would go around killing all of the L1 enemies with Repel and Undead, which each cost 0 MP. After everyone had several hundreds of EXP, and after picking up the Mark of Kings from a nearby cave (required in order to level up past L5), I'd visit the King and be granted many levels all at once, and all of a sudden my HP is in great shape.
>>12907918Well yeah but that's max HP, I still couldn't find any way to heal early on except moving around and using food to get a little bit of HP back little by little which takes foreverI don't know if I'm missing something or whatDoes the "miss" situation improve later on?
>>12907926You need a magic user who can cast a healing spell. They're 10-15 MP each. IIRC, that's cleric, paladin, druid, illusionist, and maybe something else.>Does the "miss" situation improve later on?Kind of, when you're able to raise your stats and you can improve your dexterity. Also, the ranged weapons (e.g., slingshot, blowgun) are less accurate than the melee weapons.
I love Megaman 2-4.
>>12907261That boss is the main villain, and you're not supposed to beat him the first time. You still lose a life, which is dumb. The other enemy is sort of your rival, and you have to fight him after beating certain dungeons. Weird game, I know.
>>12907897Oh wow I just realized that Klax was unlicensed. For me it's Klax then.
>>12908007Peter Pampkine
>>12907363
so I just remembered that Rolling Thunder is unlicensed outside of Japan so I guess this counts too>>12908007Yeah okay now I get it, so now I think having to fight the final boss earlier on and being forced to die because you can't hurt him was a terrible idea. The problem is that there are also enemies, including the rivals but not only, which you can only kill in very specific ways so after that I never knew if I could hurt the enemy or if I was supposed to die. Also there are no real consequences for losing all your lives against the rival, use a continue, lose nothing except extra lives if you had more than 3, and it's more/less the same result as if you beat him.
>>12907931Well I've got a Ranger and a Paladin and I tried raising my Paladin to lvl5 and wisdow to 35 and he still wouldn't learn anything new. but at least I found Tents for sale in another town at lastAnd holy shit the amount of money it takes to raise stats is insane. Any tips for that? Currently I reloaded my save before I went to Imbrosia so I'm grinding money at lvl2-3 but it takes forever
I don't get how Nintendo managed to create what was pretty much the perfect d-pad with the NES controller, and even Nintendo themselves can't replicate a d-pad that good to this day.
>>12908976Donate blood.No, really. There are NPCs take accept blood donations. Your character takes damage and you get gold in return.Treasure chests in caves spawn at fixed locations and respawn when you leave the cave and reenter, so you could figure out which floors have a lot of loot. However, caving is dangerous because the enemy pool includes late-game enemies. You can pick flowers in Ambrosia and trade them with some girl in one of the towns for Compass Hearts, which is the only way to flee a battle in progress.

>>12890547if you are going to mod your NES I think the top loader is the best option, no lockout chip and a better pin connector
Breakthru is severely underrated.
>>12896074Underrated. This is one of the last nes games I bought ten or so years ago. 3$. Didn't know anything about it. It's a fun game.
Does anyone here know where I can download a free copy of the aftermarket NES game 'The Five Clans of Tresibra: Bloodshed'?It doesn't seem to be on any of the ROM sites, like other homebrew and aftermarket NES games are.
>>129063712023 is not that long ago. Maybe you could try emailing the dev directly.
>>12911075Put this site in your favourites for all your homebrew and bootleg needshttps://fcpic.nesbbs.com/GamePic.asp?gameid=9373
>>12911114Nice! Thanks, Anon.
>>12911114>>12911689That seems like a demo, though. Is 'demo v2' the full game? Are they really selling a demo for $60? I'm looking for the full ROM dump. Not sure if this is it.
>>12911724ah well my bad, that's all they have. Try asking here >>12893375
Okay so after an INSANE amount of grinding for gold, I finally got my team set up and started diving into the dungeons and having funalso man the first couple times you to get Ambrosia those pieces of shit are a real death trap. Protip: if you can manage to lure them to cost and get off the ship to fight them, it makes it easier
I remember renting Baby Boomer once as a kid. My sister and I did not like it.
How many of you bought an NES and immediately had to recap it? I bought one on eBay that was supposedly in excellent condition but had rolling lines of distortion on the screen when I got it. I found several blown caps in the DC power/RF tuner box. One was close to exploding.All fixed up now but between caps and cleaning it took 3 hours to get it going. Pain in the ass. Flash cartridge should be here in a couple weeks.
>>12913045I have never recapped anything
>>12911753Have you heard the game's official pop song?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eyropgAHLc
>>12913054>DQ2 had a pop song for we need one too>even though it wasn't successful for the artist>but just to be safe in case that's the thing that made DQ2 popular
I loved this game when I got it as a kid. but the infinite continues really harmed it. got bored with it in like 3 days
>>12913147Yeah I thought the same thing, though it'd be fun to try to learn to beat it on just a few continues
>>12913054>>12909028Do you know how to raise max MP beyond those stats I have? Guides say you have to keep donating at the shrines to raise the MMP initially, which I did but now it won't raise further. Then some say you also have to PRAY at the shrines but all that does is give me the cards.I'm lvl25 (max) btw; it looks like I should be able to have more MP since I don't have access to all spellsI can probably beat the game like this easily but it still pisses me off
>>12913054bonus Halko Momoi cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Oya5o-0940
>>12913383>Do you know how to raise max MP beyond those stats I have?It's race and class.Race affects the maximums for primary stats. Humans can reach 75 in everything, and the rest can reach 99 in something but only 25/50 in some other thing.Class determines how the primary stats are converted to max MP. For Wizards, it's 1:1 between max MP and Intelligence. For Clerics, it's 1:1 using Wisdom. For all other casters, it's 0.5:1.
>>12913510And yes, this means that only Wizards and Clerics can cast certain spells. :(
>>12913510>>12913512oh I see, that kinda sucks but makes sense now. So I did have max MP.Anyway I just beat the game
>>12913536GG, hope you had fun.
>>12913546Yeah it was once I started exploring and dungeon crawling, but>the initial grind is insaneit doesn't help that until you level up your stats, exploring the overworld tends to be more punishing than it is worth it so you'll end up losing more money than gaining it. This as a result encouraged me to grind in a way that wasn't optimal; if I had gone dungeon crawling earlier I would have found faster ways to gain gold. I thought I shouldn't go into dungeons until I was ready but turns out it's the contrary, as encounter rate is pretty low too so the first few floors are always safe>some elusive/a bit cryptic progression thingsLike the hidden town in the forest or the clues to get the mystic armor and sword>combat is very one dimensionalit's basically use the same tactic over and over, very poor combat compared to Wizardry or Dragon QuestMusic was only okay as well and some loops are super short.I liked the ability to see floor maps in the dungeons that tell you everything about the floor including what can be interacted with and secret doors, that meant I didn't have to check every single tile.For the first RPG released on NES in the US it's pretty damn impressive
>>129079435 is good too.
