What game?

Unless you have an actual diagnosed mental illness, you too are a "normie," OP.

what the fuck are they doing to those sticks

Mother 3 is better

Well other RPG's can have better character development, customization, or battle mechanics first off. Earthbound is very standard in almost all regards outside of rolling HP and even then it doesn't add as much compared to other 2D RPG's.

Are you hoping to keep the AC in the window behind your battlestation?

Good pickup holmes, looks very sturdy.

DUDE

Killing enemies with GFs doesn't give you XP, just AP. Same with card ability.

>>3890690
Well you picked by far the easiest game to do it in.

Dislike. Would be okay if there weren't reset squares.

Alien Soldier was the only good Treasure sidescroller.

I like it. I like board, quiz, and gambling mini-games in games in general.

Like. It's a cool concept. I enjoyed the short challenges and weird fights it gives you, like Melon Bread and Minion Soldier.

>What are some ps1 games on the psn store worth getting?

I think Sony is asking a bit too much for digital copies of these games. In many cases, you can buy physical copies from eBay for the same price or less. Note that if you're running a PS3, all models are backward-compatible with PS1 discs.

There are a few PSone Classics that might be considered deals compared to the expense of buying from eBay, though. I think games like King's Field are probably consistently overpriced on eBay, but the PSN Store may want a mere USD$9 or less for a digital copy.

GOG has a complete dearth of jRPGs, so I'd start with those.

Suikoden II
Legend of Dragoon
Final Fantasy I-IX
Chrono Cross
Parasite Eve
Legend of Mana
Vagrant Story
Xenogears
Arc the Lad I-III
Grandia
Wild Arms I-II
Breath of Fire III-IV
Symphony of the Night

Et cetera.

>>3889827
They sell the games for $2-$9 and they stay on your PSN account forever so you can download them on any compatible PS device you have. Even the $9 ones are good prices.

>paying for isos

>>3889740
It's not complicated at all. You desolder a tab or two, put a new tabbed battery on the board and resolder it. The only tricky part is, if this is for a Nintendo game, getting it open. Though, you can buy screwdrivers for them online.
Just do it whenever it it dies, but it's easy to replace if you really want to.

>>3889740
had this problem with Gameboy games -- even with pokemon games that had only existed for so long

Not sure if it's possible wear and tear since people tend to save often on pokemon

>>3889759
The GBA games had batteries that died quickly. It only affects the internal clock.

Absolute rip-off, especially for the prices Nintendo asks. I fell for it a few times on the Wii and 3DS, mostly because it was appealing to have some of my classic favorites easily at hand, especially on a portable, but ever since I found a good CRT and hooked up all my old systems again, I've no need for them. If there's every any game I wanna play, don't own, and is too expensive, I'll just emulate or get a flash cart.

And yeah, Sega's 3D classics are the fuckin' bomb. I play 3D Sonic 2 and Out Run all the time.

>>3889484
>What's your opinion on old titles being ported to new consoles?

If you're referring to emulated "ports," then they're hardly ports at all.

I can get behind some of the physical releases of arcade classics or Sega compilations for modern consoles, but anything on Virtual Console is just overpriced emulation.

I think the only compilations I currently own are Atari Collection 2 for PS1, and Fantasy Zone Complete Collection for PS2. Both were a value.

Oh! I see they got those neo-geo titles on the American switch e-shop. Neat.

I'd mostly get them so I can have them on my switch and play them where ever whenever. With the Switch being portable and featuring two controllers it'd be pretty great to bring it over to a friend's house and play it with them. In the case of those Neo-geo games it's more of a convenience type of thing. Unless the port just fucking sucks, of course. (see dotEmu's attempts for the steam version of the metal slug games)

Those Sega 3D classics though, yeah man, those rule. The only down-side being they're on a portable tiny screen I suppose, but I still play them quite a bit.

I think TGL is one of the best NES games ever made. Alongside Crystalis, it's a tie for my favorite NES game of all time.

The first time I played it was after buying it from a display case in SEARS in like 1989 or 1990. I don't think I ever played a shmup before and I had so much trouble beating the first boss that I actually had tears of frustration in my 8-year-old eyes, yelling at my mom to take the stupid game back to the store.

Thankfully she didn't. It wound up being one of the best games I ever played. The variety of the world and themes, so diverse yet consistent with each other, made exploring NAJU an absolute delight. The music is probably one of the best VGM soundtracks ever composed. The bosses are bizarre, iconic, and larger than life. The gameplay mechanics, such as RPG elements like being able to increase your HP meter, ammo stock, and weapon levels only add to the depth. To top it all off, the game had a female protagonist without having to shove any sort of political bullshit down your throat.

I have nothing but praise to sing for this game. As a game dev I've made my own spiritual adaptation and I'd gladly hack the rom for a remix or build another entirely new game from scratch to pay homage to this classic. I recently beat it on my modded NES Classic and was surprised at how well it holds up to this day, nearly 30 years later.

If you love retro games and haven't played this one, it's definitely worth a look.

>genre mashups
I'll bet you're the type of person who rolls bard, too, asshole.

>A game that even most people from my generation (in their 30s) have never even heard of?

The other anon might have been referring to its post-second generation popularity. Guardian Legend is one of the most commonly recommended "hidden" gems for the NES, so most any retro enthusiast has played it by now. And I agree, it is a tad overrated. It's really not the holy grail of shooters that some people make it out to be.

Also, the game is somewhat cheap on the reseller market, so there are a lot of copies still in circulation. That would seem to suggest that the game saw many sales in its day. Maybe it wasn't often mentioned in old gaming magazines, but nonetheless might have been a common household item.

Does that happen only in AoF2 or any other games too?
