Adventure

Smoother physics, larger levels and smaller character sprites, extra details, and a better aesthetic makes adventure the superior version by far. NiDL isn't terrible it just was dragged down by the limitations of the gba, the decision to make character sprites larger and levels smaller was necessary but still sucks.

Such a fantastic game, one of the few I could always pick up and feel satisfied with. This interview about it is a great read, website is great too.

That's a tough call, I love both. It'd be neat if someone hacked NiDL to use cleaned up and improved KA sprites though. I like the newer graphics but the originals are a lot more charming.

I tried the original at virtuanes but it seems to have emulation issues. Should I try a different emulator or VirtualConsole version at Wii?

Because all of the games have been released multiple times, and now that we live in the age of virtual console and Steam, it's not like Sega NEEDS to release another compilation disc.

youre right i just wish Chaotix was rereleased

These compilations never tend to be perfect, usually because I imagine the developer wants to cash in by releasing the games across multiple volumes.

I'm more upset that second-generation arcade compilations are usually so lightweight by comparison. The Atari collection series on PS1 contained maybe 6 games per volume at most, even though every volume could fit onto a single disc. Each volume also retailed at US $45.

Like clockwork...

But now that that's out of the way, I loved it. If we're comparing it only to SMB1, then it's definitely the better game. Just much more variety. Sucks that A&B are reversed though, after you get used to that it's fine though. The ending is pretty fucking cryptic though and some of the janken matches seem rigged (unless you find the cheat).

But yeah, way better than SMB1.

>>3319881
Yes

No, I don't think stores still stock cards for consoles that aren't being made or supported anymore.

You might be able to still find them on ebay/craigslist though. Maybe some gamestop somewhere still has them.

My Sears had plenty of codes six months ago. They also had plenty of PSP-Go PSN cards. If you can't find any (and you can't use a CC) just soft-mod your Wii and download any games you want. Don't feel bad, the people who made the games profited and moved on decades ago.

>>3319646
The Wii Shop Channel is gone, mate. But the Nintendo eShop is alive and well and stores should have a few of those.

Second one

So, what the fuck is the point of your post? Just to brag about it and show your e-peen to /v/'s containment board?

He found something he thought was cool.
What the fuck is the point of your post? Mad that someone has something somewhat rare that you don't have? Don't you have some reseller and collector boogiemen to bitch about?

No man, it wasn't Putt Putt. ;-;7 I don't remember if it was even a purple car but the cut scenes at the very least were definitely 3D. You had to do tasks for one reason or another. This is literally killing me anon, please save me. ;-;

yo don't be talking shit about putt putt

You don't really need a translation to play it as the missions have no plot and you should already know what items do what. The missions themselves could be considered "only for experts" as many of them are made to fuck around with what a seasoned Tenchu player is accustomed to for example sneaky archers covering ninjas on rooftops are a common thing.

Random screenies

I always considered the psp Tenchu game Time of Assassins as a sort of spiritual sequel to this. Though it's widely considered shit for it's bad draw distance(almost identical to the first tenchu btw) and controls, it seems to take it's structure partially from Shinobi Hyakusen while injecting a semblance of plot.

I'm not really sure. I've played them all and it's my favourite by far. I guess FE6 was popular because the other GBA games were popular (and because of smash), FE12 was a new game when the translation project started, FE1-3 might be easier to translate, and FE4 should be played before FE5 for story purposes to translating that comes first.

In other news, Tear Ring Saga is almost fully translated (though it may take a while to insert the text into the game)

You'll never be able to play it properly if you use translations.
You could learn the necessary basics in a few weeks to months and then learn the rest by playing games.

I would say this part is a casual filter but honestly it just gets harder and harder as the game goes on

>>3317354
This thing is tremendously overhyped.
It's not that hard.

i got past the dam regularly as a kid. The part that fucked me was the mecha turtle or whatever when you're on top of the building. Never got past that part

years later, on an emulator, I played this game with Game Genie cheat so turtles wouldn't take damage and still couldn't beat the game (there was this shit that would one shot you towards the end even with the cheat on)

I didn't think to use save states, i am gonna need liquor if I'm ever gonna try that again. I remember when Angry Nintendo Nerd got popular for shitting on this game, it was cathartic for me and he was like the voice of every kid in my generation who played this game. Which is basically every kid in my generation

fuck you Konami

I've never seen anyone shit on MG2, on the contrary, many people say it's one of the best in the series.

I played it recently and it was good, but not the masterpiece I was expecting.

7/10.

Another anon recently posted this as the worst retro game ever, but I think it's a sorely overlooked gem. Dungeon Magic is basically the Elder Scrolls of NES. The graphics detail is similar to other first-person dungeon crawlers for early platforms, but it's mechanically realtime instead of turn-based. NPCs and enemies are constantly moving all around you, even if you just stand still and do nothing.

And it's not a dungeon crawler, despite its presentation. There are plenty of villages and outdoor areas to explore, most of those being very open spaces as opposed to the usual "rat maze" approach you'd see in games like Wizardry or Ultima.

Protip: use the knife as often as possible and avoid unnecessary encounters

CTR, Diddy Kong's aight though.

Anybody else play Speed Freaks? Shit was really good, close to being a contender.

>>3317146
CTR has a better multiplayer

DKR has a better single player

It's worth noting that CTR was literally a DKR clone because Naughty Dog rebuilt DKR levels in their engine to test it out

RGB Scart vastly improves video quality, far beyond S-Video.

That adapter however is overpriced and doesn't offer too much more than it's 50 dollar counterpart on Amazon.

Waste of money. Go pick up a CRT with component or s-video inputs from CL. They usually give them away for free.

>>3316884
>CRT
Do not do this.
Blurry fucking screens, cathode ray tubes aging and less bright than they used to be, bulky and annoying. "Scanlines," no matter how much retro gamers argue, were NOT meant to be part of the game, and obscured vision.

The amount of levels in Sonic 3 and Knuckles is superior to the amount seen in Sonic and Knuckles.
