Possibilities:
Artist's design
Grip
Literally whatever reason you can think of

So you could see the letters by only lifting your thumb slightly, or moving it to the edge (and still being able to push the button).

The way people hate on Ryu for being whitebread is friggin' dumb. The guy stands for strength, introspection, and constant self-improvement above all. What's wrong with that?
Retro SF thread. Keep in mind that covers pretty much everything pre-SF4, since 3S came out in '99.

He's a dirty hobo who goes into edgemaster mode sometimes. Plus according to your pic he's a manlet so that's another strike against him.
>>
>>3285072
5'10 is a manlet? I mean, by japanese standards that's pretty tall, and by western standards it's pretty average.

The problem with Ryu is they don't really touch on his wandering warrior/hobo fighter personality that often.
I think his best incarnation is in 3S where he's carrying around his duffle bag at all times and just drops it on the ground at the start of a match because he happened to wander into a fight.
They also don't really mention the fact that his best friend is a billionaire who just airdrops him supplies every few months.

I bought a Sega Genesis 2 in box with everything included so I could play Aladdin or Sonic 2 but, after testing it constantly, it won't get past the "Licensed By" black screen before the game boots up. I've cleaned it and everything. What next?

Do you prefer when the handheld version of a game is an exact port? Or when it's a completely different game all together?

Man, mars matrix was my first bullet hell.
I think in terms of bullet hells, Ikaruga is easier.Is this genre even /vr/?
>>
>>3283121
Yes, they started in the 90s and many of them are on Saturn and Dreamcast.
>>
>>3283116
Espgaluda.
It's still a pain in the ass but much easier than fucking ikaruga or dodonpachi. Not quite retro, tho... 2003 release.

Let's have a thread about one of the best platformer series ever, Adventure Island/Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Jima. Right up there with Super Mario Bros., IMO.
What are your favorite games in the series?
Any romhacks you know of?
Share memories, discuss, post art, etc.

Yeah, it's really a timeless game.
Have you played the sequels?

I remember playing Adventure Island 3 with my old Famicom replica (Micro Genius IQ-901). It was charming and challenging at the same time. Not the mention soundtrack was awesome.

What are your thoughts on this game? I've played a bit of it and it seems kinda fun so far. The controls take a little bit to get used to.

I liked it. Reminded me of the kind of isometric fad on home computers in the 80's like Head Over Heels.

ITT: Game series that are total console slut/port whores?
Not just the same game, like Tetris, being recreated on every personal computer/console, but also games like the ones this legend stars in where consoles gets one version, a portable version with the same name that is more based on the sequel, a sequel that is still being ported even to modern handhelds, a portable version with the name of the sequel that is more based on it - any random combination.

Doom.

Resident Evil is pretty egregious

The classic Sonic games have been ported on pretty much every console after Sega dropped out.
It's better than getting the "where the fuck are the goddamn ports" treatment like Viewtiful Joe.

Can we talk about the VMU?
There's a lot of discussion about how fast it eats up battieres, but most of the people who talk about that are basing this off of like, watch batteries from 2000 and 2010. We have much better battery technology now, and I was wondering how long these last with current generation lithium batteries?
This fucking thing is ingenious, by the way, and pretty powerful as a portable console in it's own right, especially for the size and year it was released.
