It's not abysmal but it's kinda sloppily made and very strange. The overall quality is below X4 and X5, and it was released after the intended conclusion to the X series. The producer of those two games wasn't involved.

X5 and X6 were a new team after X4. X4 was the last game Inafune had involvement with, if that's who you're referring to. It's why X5 has some odd new annoyances like Alia bothering you all the time or a timer to complete the game and RNG being able to decide your ending. X6 was probably just rushed out earlier than the development team probably intended by Capcom.

>>3917102
Kinda what the anons said.

This game was made without Inafune giving the green light, was born just out of greed and it shows because it has some really weird and bad design choices compared to the other games.
It's something you just grasp as you play through the franchise.

Check the archive, we did this like two weeks ago. It won't go anywhere and will become the shitpost general.

Not in 100 years fuccboi.

The z80 was still in there, and the VDP was an upgraded version of the master system one. It was a beefed up master system from the start, just as the master system was a beefed up mk2/sg-1000.

Its possible the SNES was planned for backwards compatibility at one point, since the CPU is able to run 6502 code. It probably wasn't cost effective.

>>3916768
>despite using a main CPU with a completely different architecture

The MD literally used an exact duplicate of the z80 in the Master System as its sound chip, which doubled as the primary CPU when playing Master System games.

>>3916768
From what I remember hearing, the SNES was planned to have backwards comparability with NES titles.
At the stage of the SNES's release however, most buyers would've been previous owners of the NES and since the NES was made in excess of 60 million units and now with the newer, cheaper toploader on the market (comparable with PS2 slim etc) it probably proved to not be worth the extra expense.
The SNES using similar CPU architectures was probably to allow in house and former programmers of the NES to adapt quickly and start producing titles for the SNES quicker and better.

Sega had a very peripheral oriented mentality to their hardware and were always trying to cut the market with new different ways to play their games on different combinations of hardware, they had backwards comparability adapters for all their consoles and handhelds, as well as computer add ons to play G/MD games and so forth.

Doraemon has like 3 Nintendo 64 games, fun 3D platformers.
Kitaro has a SFC game and a Saturn/PS game, both good.

This. There's also a Kitaro RPG on Famicom that's been fan translated.

Feels weird to me. I guess it's an option for those who want a better experience than emulation, but can't afford a flashcart? For the price of two or three of these, a person could afford a flashcart. I really don't get it.

>>3915701
Theres nothing wrong with it. It's kind of novel.

The problem is most romhacks are fucking terrible.

This 100%.

And even if I did want a physical copy of a romhack, people really need to spend more time making decent labels before I might give a shit. That Conker cart looks fucking amateurish.

Not sure about this one. Critics hated this game, but I've never seen people here shit on it.

I was just playing IronSword: Wizards & Warriors II, go to 4chan and see this

It comes up basically every time we have an ARPG thread or that chestnut "What is the retro equivalent of Dark Souls" but although I played the first game incessantly back in the day even more than Faxanadu or Zelda 2 (it was easier/shorter) when you look back at it, it was really only a B+ game to start with and the series is one of those sad ones where every game is progressively worse.

One of the big problems with the series I think is that your character starts out too weak. You get weapon upgrades fairly early on, but most people drop the game when they're retardedly flopping into enemies hoping their sword connects.

Stormlord on Genesis had to be censored as well.

Before this thread gets invaded by console wars: Is there any major retro company that didn't do any kind of censorship or anti-consumer stuff?

>>3913974
Consoles were literally considered children's toys until very recently and America has a long history of censorship to perserve "Strong Christian Values".

Nintendo was going through in Japan what Atari went through in the states when the NES was released, so they made the draconian policies to make sure the NES wouldn't immediately be drown by knock-off homebrew shit.

Squaresoft ran to Sony because Sony was promising a land of milk and honey for devs who were getting pissed off at how Yamauchi was treating long-time partners to Nintendo. They left almost explicitly because Yamauchi told them that FFVII was full of too much garbage if it couldn't fit on an N64 cart.

Anti-Piracy, "censoring" a game because they didn't want to piss off the American legal system (Universal vs. Nintendo was a miracle victory and they didn't want to risk that shit again), not giving games a TV_Nihon translation, and leaving some games overseas isn't "anti-consumerism".

>>3914030
>not giving games a TV_Nihon translation, and leaving some games overseas isn't "anti-consumerism"

I disagree. Sticking gamers with a sub-par product, region-locking your hardware to prevent them from importing the original unedited software, and then having the nerve to charge USD$60 for an in-house Engrish transration is very much a slap in the face to your consumers.
