learn to internet

>>3861065
thanks for helping me internet friend =)

Half my cabs are in the garage, half on the porch and my mancave is in the basement. I need all the bedrooms.

>>3859460
Why would you?

>>3859460
No. That's ghetto and disgusting as fuck. I had a bunch of arcade machines in my garage before I moved.

>>3859495
You get to repurpose the bedrooms for better things as they grow up and move out.

>>3858668
You dont.

Build up enough speed to move to a parallel universe where it exists.

>>3858668
Kidnap Fujibayashi and his team, lock them in your basement and give them some devkits.

Transcript of 1986 RCA product development meeting:

>CEO: So, the Dimensia range. What have we got?
>Chief designer: Well sir, it's big. Real big. We'll have to lay on extra shifts at the simulated woodgrain to satisfy production demand...
>CEO: Great! I love big wood. Keep it up!
>Chief designer: Thank you sir. Just one issue. It's the back. I can't seem to fill it. We need bigger connectors on there. RCA jacks simply can't cut it any more.
>CEO: Hmmmm...
>CTO: I think I may have a solution. In Europe they have a connector called SCART. It's big. Real big, and can do all sorts of things.
>CEO: Tell me more.
>CTO: Well, it can carry composite video in and out simultaneously for VCRs and such. It can automatically switch on connected devices and select the appropriate input when those devices are switched on. It can also work in reverse to switch on and configure the TV when a connected device is powered on. It could be used in the future to configure the TV for different aspect ratios when fed an appropriate signal. It also has support for RGB and enough pins left over to accommodate future signal standards. I hear Matsushita is developing an enhanced VHS standard using separate luminance and chrominance signals. Rumour is it will be called Super Video and we need to future proof. This connector could make out sets the envy of the world.
>CEO: Big...okay, I like the sound of it. Does the EIA have this thing on their books yet?
>CTO: Not yet. Would you like me to speak to them?
>CEO: Most certainly! Make sure they simplify it though. Take out all that artsy fartsy stuff you talked about. We only need composite and don't want to confuse our user base. Tell them it needs to be BIG.
>CTO: Errr...
>CEO: Great seeing you guys! Pencil us in 9 months from now for the launch meeting. Now, where are my golf clubs...

Nah, learn Japanese.

>>3875664
That was unexpected.

>>3875681
The only true experience is only inside the mind of the original creator, things such as language just filter out his original intentions.

>>3873932
Code of Princess is also surprisingly good. It might as well be called Guardian Heroes 2.

>How can I get this genre to hold my attention?
Pokemon has a very kiddie atmosphere, but gameplay wise it's head and shoulders above most JRPGs which are mostly very simple with limited options. Gameplay wise most of them are very boring, the story and characters are the focus so if that's not enough then the game will just be a boring slog.

I would ask yourself why you are trying to get into them. What about the games makes you want to play them?

>>3873530
X picks up about where you left off, I imagine.

I'd recommend you continue to play through X, as 7 can be a bit dated and frustrating for someone new to the genre. If you do play 7 despite that advice, I'd recommend paying attention in the tutorial segment in the Slum area, specifically the advice that tells you to press the 'Select' button to prompt some on-screen guides with navigating the pre-rendered backgrounds, and being able to spot entrances, exits, and some objects to interact with. It also helps with locating the player.

But, as for continuing you X playthrough, I'd imagine you're well on your way to Besaid Island, and from there the game will really pick up. Once you get to Luca it's a really fun game, but until then it's mostly tutorial.

>>3873530
I think the Earthbound/Mother games would be a good stepping stone between Pokemon to Final Fantasy.

Maybe Mario RPG.

FDS was mainly just a way to work around rental laws in Japan. Almost all the good games were ported to Famicom just naturally because Nintendo was able to closely track what was getting dispensed at the kiosks.

Sega CD is the add-on that gets consistently dissed despite having a very strong if limited library of exclusives of course /vr/ seems to have come to embrace it.

"Underrated" on 4chan is very different than underrated on youtube.

>>3873193
why would it be underrated
wasn't it made pretty much obsolete by new innovations in cartridge space a year or two after it came out

>>3873193
nah i think all the super dedicated ninty fans have this

>>3873164
This is why I never beat FF1 on NES. First time got to the fire cave and it happened. A couple years later I started another game and got to mirage tower and it happened. After that I vowed never to play the game again since I didn't even like it all that much. But I eventually did on GBA.

>>3873164
this is why emulators > retro consoles

though I don't think it was quite a big deal for anything after gen 3 as games with built in battery saves were becoming the norm

>>3873164
The way old cartridges actually save games is a specialised type of RAM with an attached battery. If the save file is completely gone when you power off the system and on again, odds are the cartridge's internal battery is dead. I think they're CR2032's if memory serves, try opening up the cartridge and replacing it.

Or use an emulator, shit's easier.

It's autism.

It's a joke.

You're sure?

The N64 was so delayed you'd think they'd have had more games ready, particularly for the US release a couple of months later.

How would the Shogi game have been received? Would people have ridiculed Nintendo for such a choice or found interest in the game?

>>3872815

to be honest the N64 release was better than the Wii U's. It matters more to have a great hit than a bunch of whatever games. Just look at the switch selling just because of one game that is not even exclusive.

Also, nintendo kept a good pace in games released in the following weeks. Wave Race, Star Wars, Turok, and so on.

That Stack Up game is the only NES launch game that I've never seen before. Is it any good?

Every year.

No. You've probably seen someone using a Genesis controller on Vectrex with an adapter (that I'd like to find an example of). Why would you even want to do the reverse?

>>3871398
Because it's a better controller than the Master Systems one

>>3871403
No way, analog sticks on digital games are a liability. Are you aware there was a little stick you could screw into Master System pads? Should give you whatever you might have been looking for from a Vectrex controller.

It's ok. Return of the Jedi was better but that one came out late so no one really have nostalgia for it.

I still like all three of them, but it's always been a somewhat contentious series that never appealed to some. Tastes vary...

I traded a deck of Magic cards for Super Empire and was never happier.

empire strikes back > return of jedi > super

That shitty forest speeder level ruined Jedi for me
