Why did SNK think the NEO GEO CD loading times were acceptable?

I mean sure ok Magician Lord,ViewPoint,Mutation Nation etc have a huge initial load then after that it is completely fine. But KoF 94 which was released one month after the japanese launch already showed that even in the short term this simply would not hold up.

maybe they wanted to save on the license fee? using a sony plug probably would add a dollar per unit

I've got a lot of spare time coming up and an urge to play franchises I never got into.

Recommend me some must-play games from must-try franchises of the NES SNES, Genesis and GBA.

I've played all of Sonic, MegaMan, Mario and Metroid and [pic related] so don't suggest them.

On my to-do list is
Castlevania 1-4 + SotN and Bloodlines
A Link To The Past
Streets of Rage
Secret of Mana
Mother 1-3

You REALLY should play Dracula X Rondo of Blood on TG-16 as well.

Rocket Knight Adventures on Genesis, Sparkster on SNES

2 is better than 1.

She is from P.S. Surii-san, which is kinda like Hyperdimension Neptunia in the sense it follows the adventures of console girls. (PS3 being the MC).

Wow that is super obscure. Mad respect.

Oh, so she's not actually from his franchise.

Anyway, thanks for the info!

obtain reading comprehension. I'm talking about OG GB and GBC games

>company spends millions on a game

Nothing is so infuriating, maybe I'm weird but it just cheapens the entire game to me. Shenmue has it REALLY bad but the resident evils are also pretty shit. Thinking about it, almost every popular game with voices in the day had this problem.

I have no clue who made this chart, or what criteria for inclusion. It's a nice chart as I've found new games I never heard of through this.

When it comes to quality 2D games I can't help but feel that the PS1 was the true successor to the SNES.

both a blessing and a curse, back in the day magazines would rag on PS1 2D games for playing too much like 16 bit titles.

Because of the direction Nintendo has gone with motion controls it's going to really be a hurdle for emulation in the future. Once all the consoles die off those games may be forever unplayable.

So has this already happened with any /vr/ games? Like they can't even be emulated anymore because of some hardware gimmick and are essentially lost to time?

Fortunately none of those games are worth emulating.

I'm sure this could be emulated with any midi keyboard one day, but I doubt it's a high priority.
>>
>>4109413
Same problem than gun games (Duck Hunt, Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, House of the Dead, Point Blank, etc.). Are they emulated properly today?

In the case of Ubisoft, it's in their name. "Ubiquitous software".

Multiplatform releases are their global strategy.

Arcade or SNES?

arcade is the hardcore version for REAL gamers

Arcade, but both are good.
>>
>>4108792
SNES just because that's what me and my buddies played when we were kids. Don't think I ever saw it in an arcade in its heyday. Always saw Turtles 1 though.

since they got somehow banned by the EU , post your favorite or recommended casino/gambling games

>Pic related

I dont know what the fuck is wrong with me but I fucking love these types of games (super Caesars palace on super Nintendo especially)

>Absolutely comfy
I'd spend hours in the RBY Pokemon slot machines
I obviously cannot gamble in real life even though I like it and typically do well at the card tables

And by gamble in real life i mean excessively / high-risk scenarios (high roller)

I'm about to "beat" the SNES version of this game

Vegas Dream on NES is by several orders of magnitude the best gambling game. I'd also recommend Vegas Stakes on SNES.

Forgot to mention
Accepting recs for LITERALLY any system

I have intellivision, Atari 2600/7800, bally astrocade, NES,SNES,n64, GameCube,sega(CD/32x/Saturn/Dreamcast), 3do, ps1/2, gameboy, ECT

We've been slowly acquiring them through the mail


>>4108662
Vegas stakes is a good one it also works with the mouse which is nice , I dunno why I always loved Mario paint

We have an everdrive n8 with the complete retail library I dunno how I missed the Vegas game will load it up rn

Just tried to look for a Donkey Kong 64 Rom this past week, and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Is this the death of emulation? I've been hearing that Nintendo and several other companies have been sending C&Ds like crazy, forcing all these retro games to officially not exist until they say so.


What will you do now?

It should have been either called Super Castlevania(no numbers) or Demon Castle Dracula outside of Japan. Oh, and the fact that NOA and NOE ordered blood either removed or turned green is just stupid.
