Thoughts on the Ys games?

I played I and II on the TurboGrafx and really had a blast - easily my favorite game on the system, even if there were a few too many moments of "hug wall until hidden passage reveals itself" and "use obscure item here!" to progress.
I really want to get to play Ys 3 and 4 on the PCE, and I have a stack of CDr's just for that purpose - especially with the fan-translation of 4 being out there.

So are there theoretically "lost games" that were downloaded during the limited times broadcasts were available that could still be on some cartridges today? Obviously without the SoundLink bit, but the idea of lost games being rediscovered gives me such a hard on. Very much like people discovering old Doctor Who episodes previously lost from the 60's.
How exactly does this work? Or do I have it all wrong?

The games are just files encoded onto a cartridge. Companies either still have them and someone leaked the files or they were leaked once someone downloaded them.
With the "Lost Games" they pretty much use the cartridge like a blank hard drive, it stores the game's data on it, those that receive the connection to the satellite or network that transmits the files uses a cartridge with more storage capacity.
>>
>>3276424
So are there still cartridges probably floating around with game data on it that could be extracted? There's well known games like Radical Dreamers, BS Zelda and BS F-Zero, but I wonder there's also some with incomplete or partially downloaded weeks.
>>
>>3276427
I don't think so, the cartridges would mostly just be blank if they are even around, you would have to check ROM sites or people who make Reproduction cartridges if you want the real deal. Easier way is Emulation though as you can get the files directly.
The connection to the Broadcast Satelliview network most likely is severed now and Sega Channel is long been since defunct.
Let's talk about the Nintendo 64DD. A relatively obscure piece of hardware released at the very end of the Nintendo 64's lifecycle, this accessory had been continually teased to the public since 1995 as Nintendo's answer to the innovations of the Playstation and later the Dreamcast - namely greater storage capacity and online capabilities for games. It only ever saw a release in Japan, only sold around 15,000 units, only came with 10 pieces of software and all support for the product was withdrawn less than a year after it came out.
So, has anyone here ever had any first-hand experience with this oddity? It seems incredibly strange to me as someone who was only even aware of this product a few years ago that for a time the Nintendo 64 was an online console that had its own social network. If it was released a few years earlier like Nintendo had originally planned I can't imagine it not being a success.

Always wanted to own one but not for $600
So, I'm dumb and impulsive and I bought an SNES and Yoshi's Island. I've never owned an original SNES and I honestly haven't played any games on the original hardware (I played mostly GBA and DS ports).
But since I've already paid up for it, what games should I get now? Big nintendo fanboy, but I feel I should branch out and check out games published by other companies for the SNES.
I'm willing to spend up to about 50 bucks for a real good game, but anything rarer than that seems out of my price range.
Just wondering what games are must haves. I couldn't find a /vr/ FAQ.

Flash Cart Adventure 2: The Return

Obvious answer, but pick up Super Mario World and All Stars.
You can get them both on the same cart for like 30 bucks or so.

How much would you/did you pay for this game? It's a game I really like, but it's kind of expensive and I'm trying to decide if I should buy it or not.

Get the GBA version. Not only is it not retardedly expensive like this, but it's actually a tighter game.
Or if you're not retro, get Heavenly Guardian on PS2. It's from the same development team.

The GBA version looks like it's ridiculously expensive too. I'd rather spend a lot of money on SNES game than on a GBA game.

Blood Thread
Recently, I've been working my way through some of the more well-known user mods since I've finally figured out how to load unofficial maps. I finished Death Wish a little bit ago and that great, I'd even go so far as to say that it's better than the base game was. 10/10 add on. Also just finished the first episode of Bloody Pulp Fiction earlier today and that's pretty good too so far. The fuckhuge levels are awesome although there are a few frustrating bits every now and then. I'd probably give it an 8/10 in quality.
Anyone have any recommendations for what to play next? It'd be cool to get an essential Blood map list or something of the sort.

Play Inherit the Earth and Hostile Takeover, they're kinda old and were also made by the DW author IIRC.
I'll start.

It was already pretty much dead by the time people learned it could play burned discs.

Finally someone makes one. Please re-direct all e-celeb discussion here, no tip-toeing around it by making multiple threads about avgn/some podcast/whatever and killing an old actual vidya-related thread in the process.

I've heard that Super Mario Bros. 2 jp, AKA: The Lost Levels wasn't initially released outside Japan, because the publisher thought it was too hard.
Is this actually a true fact, or just speculation?

if I remember correctly it also had to do with how outdated the game looked by the time it would have been released in other regions. It was almost the same game as the first one visually and Nintendo thought that it wouldn't sell because of this.

>>3281249
So why was it much harder too?

Because they wanted to use new gimmicks in the limited engine.

No Virtual Boy thread? Aww come on guys. Did anyone actually have one of these things when it came out? I didn't purchase one until ~2010 when I learned of it. I think this console (portable?) makes a great shelf piece, as many people don't know what it is. Especially when they hear that it was from Nintendo!
So, what are the best VB games?
Teleroboxer has the best virtual feel to it in my opinion. But looking past just "how good at a virtual feel it is", what games are good?

I found pic related in my games library.
I managed to unlock the secret stage after the first level but it's balls to the walls hard.
Can anyone give me some basic hints?
I equipped my ship to generate a wide bullet carpet to clear the screen but maybe that's a wrong approach?

Which secret level, Windy? There's like four for the first level. Bubbles is very easy, Holes has some tough spots and Windy and Soh Jinn are demanding.
Don't you normally exit the secret level upon getting killed in full mode?

Oh damn, didn't know there where more than one.
How do I find out what it's called? The map screen only says "unknown".
>>
>>3281015
I know the one you're talking about. It gets really hard close to the end with tons of shit everywhere. All I can say is, practice. Try some different tactics.
When that part first begins where it becomes bullet-hell and the screen is completely full of enemies I try to got left and right while dodging the bullets and killing as much as possible.
If you stay in just one spot you're going to get annihilated. Keep moving.
