What video games do you consider to be overrated and/or have aged poorly, /vr/?
Every day till you like it.
Metal Gear Solid
Super Mario Bros
Zelda
Sonic
All Final Fantasy's, except 8 and 9
Castlevania
Metroid
Megaman
Half Life
Diablo 2

These. Also every game ever with the possible exception of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Everything else has aged horribly.
The good.
The bad.
The Very, VERY bad.
Let's get an appreciation/hatred thread going for these miniature machines that we all love or love to hate. I'll start. Pictured is one of the better ones, it has 12 NAMCO games in it. Real microswitch inputs. Pole Position is controlled by twisting the stick left and right. Oh, and it has easter eggs!
What's your favorite?
>>3165298
I was thinking of getting that Pac Man Anniversary one. I like all of the games on it, and I'm a big fan of Pac and Pal
got this one for Christmas one year, the emulation was great , the controls not so much. Except for pole position, the little yellow thing rotated to steer and it worked great. Still had a ton of fun with it as a kid though.
>>3165487
I fucking love that one. I just realized TODAY the one in my OP image can be literally turned backwards (So the joystick is right-handed) without affecting Pole Position at all.
>>3165457
The shape of that one bugs the hell outta me. But having Pac-Man 256 is a treat.
Another of my favorites. I have this one half-modded into a mini C64. It's the best NTSC version of the C64DTV there is.
>You will never enjoy another game as much as Paper Mario
I have played good games, but nothing compares to Paper Mario.
I refuse to play TTYD cash grab.
I thought TTYD was better.
>>3164997
>ttyd is a cash grab!
>I never actually played it though
Better then the original in my opinion, play it dumbass.
>>3165036
I saw a walkthrough though
They don't have to be overtly Christian but they should have Christian vibes or implicit themes/message of the religion or can be interpreted as such.
>>3164981
>>3164981
Basically anything from Japan that tries western themes.
>>3165005
You know things like evangelion are considered blasphemy right? mostly japan just uses christian words because they think they sound cool
Did all other consoles just have shiny silver colour discs the same as music CDs?
>>3164920
>shiny silver
That's... Fucking black.
>>3164920
ps2 had blue dicks.
>>3164927
Some. Some weren't colored.
So I never managed to get into Final Fantasy. Am I missing out? I think I've tried them all. Even had it for Game Boy. The music is great but the game just bores me. FF for SNES looks great yet I did not manage to get into it. I've tried to get into FF a bunch of times but I have always failed so I am wondering if those games are even worth it. Am I missing out on something? First I would blame the genre. I never liked it. I would prefer action oriented games (no discussion if those are RPGs. I never said they are) like Mystic Quest/Final Fantasy Legends, Star Tropics or Zelda (especially the GB ones). There are some turn based RPGs I REALLY enjoy like Mother/Earth Bound or Pokemon. So what other turn based RPGs should I try and why is FF good / should I try again?
>>3164141
Different people like different things. Don't worry about it too much.
That said, I personally think FF4 and FF9 are really fun and I recommend them to everyone. 6 gets a lot of (deserved) love, too.
Not a fan of JRPGs. The turn based combat with random encounters are a turn off.
Can appreciate the story, music, and world though.
>>3164170
Unfortunately RPGs are made for people like you nowadays, being completely real time and no random encounters. So thanks for ruining the genre!
Why did the Digimon games never come close to the quality and fun of the Pokémon games?
>>3163821
Digimon is about a single partner who you stick with the entirety. Pokemon is about throwing them in a box to rot when their usefulness has ended.
>>3163821
Digimon was and still is a Pokemon ripoff.
>>3163821
Why did the Digimon games never come close to the quality and fun of the Pokémon cartoons?
Hey bros, I can finally afford to move out and get my own place. Looking for ideas to get my game room up and running, like pic related (I don't have that many retro consoles though). Share your own for ideas.
>>3163179
I have a shelf to the left of my TV stand for all my games and controllers. Then my TV Stand has two rows with about 6 consoles on each row.
>>3163179
Component consumer CRT (or PVM/BVM)
or LCD/Plasma with xrgb-mini or OSSC
Scart Switch
or Extron BNC Switch
buy all the cables and do your mods
done
>>3163182
Does it take a lot of space?

Satellaview's 21st Anniversary
>Knew nothing would happen, not even a peep
>Secretly hoped some games would be put on the VC or eShop
I've lost any hope I've once had.
wtf is this?
>>3162782
Jesus fuck, is this a /v/ meme? Fuck off.
Is it possible at all to complete Front Mission 3 via emulation?
My game keeps freezing at Shanghai
I heard there was a method through Retroarch, can someone explain how that works?
>>3162504
I just did with ePSXe, no problems.
>>3162586
Did you complete the entire game? No freezes or anything?
Do you mind saying what settings you had or what iso you used?
>>3162552
That's what I was told on /m/ and nothing more.
I don't know anything about RA shilling, I just want to play Front Mission 3
>>3162649
Yep, entire game with pete's opengl2. Don't remember where I got my ISO from though, since I've had it downloaded for a long time.
Ok guys, ive been trying to find a pocket sized snes emulation handheld, but so far no luck. Dstwo sucks, psp is god awful and slow as shit. Smartphones have great emus, but no buttons and i realld dont have room in my pocket for a clip on controller.
I just wanna play smw with no slowdowns and no more fuckin crashes everytime i get halfway through star oceans story. Any recommendations?
>>3161658
Wait. So you dont have room for a controller, but you have room for this other device, and your smartphone?
Makes no sense.
You gonna leave your phone at home? No? Then you do have room for a pocket controller in lieu of your "emulation device"
/thread
Ive got an lg g3. Every controller thats big enough to clip my phone on is big as hell. I cant fit a dualshock or similar in my pocket, i usually end up having to wear a sweatshirt even when its hot just to fit the controller/ psp. whereas with say a ds its slim enough to fit in my back pants pocket and not feel like its about to fall out all the time
N3DS. Why is this even a question? The buttons are even colored like the damn SFC.
How does /vr/ feel about GCW Zero and others handheld like that?
>>3161336
Too expensive.
>>3161336
I have Dingoo A320.
Why it is better over PSP or it's not?
Mega Man thread.Can I get Battle Network advice here?
>>3161142I know a Battle Network thread would never survive on /v/, but it's not retro per the board sticky. If you aren't horribly opposed to leddit, the /r/megaman subreddit has had some good in depth discussion of Battle Network, so it'd be worth a shot trying there.
For some thread discussion:
Favorite stage?
Favorite boss?
Favorite weapon?
Favorite music?
X or original series?
I don't have favorites for most of those, but music has gotta be Armored Armadillo.
https://youtu.be/bquCy9QbIms
>>3161154
I like the Ray Splasher from MMX3.
Also the Zero Sabre.
On this note, actually, I've always pondered this: what is the MMX3 ultimate weapon? Is it the gold armor or the Zero Sabre? The gold armor isn't a weapon, per se, but it has a more similar method to obtaining it to the previous two games' ultimate weapons than the Zero Sabre (which, in function, is more like the ultimate weapons of old).
>>3161154
The PSP version of Armored Armadillo is pretty cool.
>be a kid
>your controller finally dies
>ask parents for new one for birthday/holiday whatever
>they get you a shitty 3rd party
Anyone else deal with this?
>>3160457
I vaguely remember getting third party shit when I was younger from friends at birthday parties.
>Here's your controller, bro!

>get this and cruisin usa
>t-thanks mom...
