Why are NES games so awesome?
It only counts as bait when you try to instigate negative, angry responses
Friendly bait is good bait
My theory about NES games: only two main buttons and not too much storage space so games get right to the damn point, but they still have different levels and endings and stuff, so it's the right balance
Because each cartridge, as well as the system itself, is built of precious Nintendium.
>>3092660
yeah, the two button system is the very essence of magic.
Why was this game such a disappointment?
The what now?
>>3091681
It had the misfortune of being a sequel to DKC2. There was no way it wouldn't be a disappointment. Still a great game.
>>3091686
>Still a great game.
Agreed. The popular hate it gets is undeserved.
Super Russian Roulette
New ZAPPER-Based game for NES. Will be optimised for both NTSC and PAL (separate versions).
Does not require a CRT! It mostly just uses the trigger, there are a couple of things you can shoot onscreen, but you can press a button on regular controller to activate those things if using a non-CRT.
It is a Kickstarter project. It has surpassed it's funding goal by almost 4x. So it's happening.
Over 4 mins of speech! Full screen sprites!
Currently 1 megabyte (yes MEGAbyte) of PRG ROM, and 128 kilobytes of CHR ROM. Custom mapper.
If this thing hits $80000, the CHR ROM will be bumped to 256 kilobytes and the animations will be improved.
Is that the largest game for the NES? Can't be far off.
This won't run on any flashcart. If you want it, you have to get the real thing.
At time of writing there is less than 21 hours to go. $2400 from reaching the $80000 stretch goal of upgrading the CHR ROM.

I want those nicer animations!

I've already backed it. Seems cool. I have the Famicom Gun which looks like a real revolver, too. I asked the dev for a Famicom-native version but he said there isn't enough interest. Fair enough, I can either get a cart converter or a controller converter.

Squid Adler - Mega Man X5
The first time I encountered him, I tried using X instead of Zero. X had no good special weapons, so with the blaster he was impossible. FUN, but impossible. I still want to try beating him with X just his buster.

Remember the 90s Girls with Guns fad.
That was cool. They should do it again. Post retro girls with guns
I bought this a while ago and took some pics for the internet.
What older James would you like to see a modern remake of?
>What older James
Why would you want to see a remake of anything? Outside of Nintendo other remakes always get destroyed with shitty "upgrades" and even if it's left alone they throw DLC in it.

You realize this series had entries up to the ps4, right?
>>3097313
I just looked up and this was actually remade for the psp. Hooray, your wish just came true.

Alright, /vr/ show me your pirate carts.
If you say so
I only have a pirate disc, no carts
I don't own any video games with pirates in it.

>buy more grenades
>story is badly written and uninteresting so i spam through it to get to the next boring ass fight
>literally spam O the video game.
is there any reason i should keep playing or does it stay this bad?
>>3089523
Only 90's kids get it.
>>3089523
the most fun part of FF7 is arguably just exploring the town and dungeon screens and playing minigames and solving puzzles and shit. they packed a heck of a lot of stuff into those areas.
if it had a fixed number of encounters that occur at specific points on each screen that would probably make it a lot better.
OP, do you like rpgs? You probably don't like rpgs.
So yesterday I found my old nes, but i doesn't have the a/v cable. It uses this port. I've nevee seen it and can't find it on google, is it hard to find?
>>3086974
That is not an NES
>>3086974
That looks like a genesis

Do you know what a Nintendo Entertainment System looks like?
diablo 1 psx + sabr filter looks like a trippy painted version of the game

Man, so I finished the PSP port of Star Ocean 2 today. I had been playing it for awhile and I have to say everything about it really blew me away and I got super immersed in the story and character building, definitely left me wanting more. I had always had the PSX version growing up but never bothered playing it. The addition of voice acting in this one (I played it undubbed) really made it for me.
I heard 3 and 4 weren't very good, would you recommend them or would I just be let down? I know the series doesn't go on direct continuity, the only character in 1 and 2 appearing in both was Ronyx and I never played the first one either. Is 3 worth playing through or would I just be let down?
Also Star Ocean general I guess.
>>3094815
Star Ocean 4 was an abomination. I don't think there has been such uninspired dungeon design in any RPG since SO4 came out.
>>3094827
How was 3? Does it have any relevance to 2's plot at all?
God 2 was so fucking good I can't believe it.
>>3094835
I liked 3 when it came out but not played it since. I don't remember it being related though.
