What's your favorite retro game series outside of the super mainstream ones?Mine is Kiki Kaikai / Pocky & Rocky. I stumbled upon the arcade game at a retro arcade in Tokyo 10 years ago while I was having a bad day. The game absolutely blew me away so when I got home I looked it up and discovered it was a whole series. I eventually added them all the my collection. The SNES games are the best (especially the first one).
>>12924538Ogre Battle Saga.Front Mission Series.Adventure Island games.
>>12924610What do you like about them?
They haven't had a game in a real long time, so I don't know how many of you have hard of them, but I'm a huge fan of the Mega Man games. The original line, I don't like having to collect hearts in X.He was a blue robot that could copy the powers of the bosses you beat, and each boss had a weakness to another boss weapon, and so it was fun to figure those out. I highly suggest 2-5. >>12924610>Adventure Island games.These are so good! One of these days I'm going to buckle down and finish that open world one.
>>12924680>Ogre Battle Saga.I started catching up on fan translated games in the 2010s and Tactics Ogre was one of the first ones I went through. OB and OB64 are also greatwith the variety of classes and characters, and I keep replaying them.>Front Mission Series.They aren't the best Mecha games nor the best games with political i trigue, but I like the designs and overall world building in a near-future Earth. I began with 3 and I sunk a lot of hours in 5's 'dungeon crawler' simulator.>Adventure Island games.It's simple, straightforward fun. I played the first one on NES while growing up but Super Adventure Island 2 is the one I've played the most, despite changing the formula a bit.
Antarctic Adventure series
Metal Slug and RTS WarCraft.
>>12924968that penguin game from kojima? But it's just a walking sim
>>12924968>>12925235It's pretty chill.
>>12925154Are you Mexican or from South America?
Metal Max, I suppose
>>12924538I know it's a licensed IP, but it's not too big in terms of video games, especially in the west, and it's Saint Seiya. This is what got me into anime in the 1st place and that opened up a whole new world for me, and I liked video games, so it's natural I looked for the video games. I love the arena fighters we got in the 2000's and onwards, but the 80's/90's titles are still fun, I'm yet to beat them since they're unforgiving, but still fun for fans of the IP I think.
>>12924538>The SNES games are the best (especially the first one).Based, the dual stick controls hack is kino for both the Snes gaems.
>>12924538Sayo-chan has a hime cut.
>>12924538The second snes one sucks ass. It doesn't have any real level design. It has too many redundant, useless companions too.>>12927597>dual stickDisgusting
>>12926253The chinks worship that game. They are obsessed with it and think it's one of the greatest games of all time
>>12928515How does it feel to be wrong?
>>12927597What is the name of this game?
>>12924538Sonic Wings
>>12929231
>>12929335Do you have a favorite? I have 2 and 3 for the Neogeo
>>12924538You would like Twinkle Tale.
>>12929573The second one is the toughest by far, but I consider it to be the most rewarding and satisfying to learn and clear. I'd say it's my favorite, but it's a niche pick. Sonic Wings 3 is also really fun, it's a very short game with multiple paths (kinda like Darius but smaller in scale) so it has great replayability and it's easy to pick up and play. I especially likethe busted secret ship from Rabio Lepus.Sonic Wings special stands out for its huge variety of planes, mostly weird and gimmicky ones. I haven't explored it much but I expect to spend a lot of time with it in the future.The first one was a short and fun clear, but it's a very unbalanced game with some amateurish design aspects. Sonic Wings reunion is a comically shitty game with horrendous visuals, poor bullet visibility and wonky level design.>>12929582Amazing game
>>12929582I actually don't like it
For me it’s the BONK series. Great graphics and music, weird and interesting character design, challenging but not overly so, it checks all the boxes for me. I got to play the 2nd one on the TG16 as a young kid while over at a friend’s house and I immediately loved it. I didn’t get to play it again until I was an adult when I bought a PC Engine + all 3 Bonk games and they were just as fun as a I remembered. I think a lot of people didn’t give it a chance because the main character design (a caveman baby with a massive head) is so bizarre which is such a shame because it’s a top-tier platformer. The shoot em’ up spin-off Air Zonk is an absolute blast as well.
lolo
>>12927597>dual sticksNah. This game wasn't designed with that in mind. It's nowhere near hard enough that you need that shit in order to 1CC it. Plus it also kills the positioning aspect since you can basically just strafe while facing your targets. It's like giving the game a lock-on system.
The PS4 one is better because it doesn't have that rope bridge level.
>>12929665enough bonk threads on here already, god hand faggot stop posting on 4chan while all bonked up on your giant lambshanks or whatever you've been ingesting.
