Eh it's alright.

>Best platformer on the GB

Let's be reasonable; it's a great game but it's no Mario Land 2 or 3.

>>4107756
It has amazing graphics. Normally sprites are tiny as fuck without any details. Here you get big sprites, lots of details and charm. The enemies are great and hilarious as well. Just think of the first boss fight. Young ghost, father ghost and grandpa ghost is too old and he just faints because it's too exhausting for him. This stuff is clever and hilarious. You've got other very clever bosses and amazing level design which means there is always a change in the game to make things interesting. Just think of the second level: first you go all the way up on a tree (vertical scrolling instead of the standard horizontal scrolling) and then it goes it horizontal scrolling where you have to shoot flower enemies in order to create a path of veins with two rows and you have to watch out for owls killing those. Clever. Then you later get the fast paced roller coaster level.
In order to make everything even more interesting, add something rewarding and a strategic element you will learn (actually remember) new skills. Use these skills to you advantage. You also get cute and charming cut scenes that progress the story after each level. The music is amazing and as a bonus you get fun mini games which make collecting coins (you only get if you kill an enemy with a special attack) really rewarding. The mini games are also quite fun.

So it's alright. What the hell do you even want? What platformer is better? Don't tell me Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

I used Diddy for everything.

>>4107281
This is some hardcore OCD you've got going there, bro, no offense.

I complete the game, then go back to levels that haven't got the "!" mark and try to find the secrets I missed.
I use DK as my main, and save Diddy for last since his hitbox is smaller, I prefer to have him in the reserve.

The music is objectively great.

The netflix thing really is going to bring a lot of underage meme kids to /vr/, isn't it?

>>4107192
It's not THAT bad, but thanks to AVGN all the kiddies like to scream about how terrible it is even though none of them have played it

At least they toned down the pedophilia this time around.

Rom dump when?

See above.

In the first game it definitely is. Not sure about 2 and 3, because I'm not that familiar with them.

Probably.
Using attacks and items should get you through all of them, and you could just grind and overlevel to get you through a pinch.

>>4106905
FF4, 5 and 6 have gimmick dungeons that prevent you from using physical attacks. Magnet Cave in FF4, Fork Tower in FF5 and Cultists Tower in FF6

>>4106837
Bomberman 5, it has over 100 levels.

Those are workin' man's hands.

Are you hitting on him? he probably gives rough handjobs

>>4106829
Yes.

OK, but what are some must-play games for the Saturn?

>>4106910
Depends what you like playing I guess.

Have you thought about this AT ALL or are you just jumping on the bandwagon and looking for spoonfed recommendations?

Do you have it for display, or to play games?

>>4105860
I just got it out of the wardrobe after over a decade, and have been considering buying a flashcart for it.
Thing is, if I do that then I'd need a 60Hz mod for it as well, so there's a potential case for buying a new console and finding a way to display my old one.
The cartridges I own are SMW, SMAS, Yoshi's Island, & the DKC trilogy, which as I understand are all 'PAL optimised'.

Another shot from the back. The missing chunks are all from the top half, which has turned more yellow than the bottom half, so it makes sense that it'd be more brittle

Literally my favorite company and has been for decades. Densha de Go! alone puts them at the top for me, not to mention the rest of their catalog.

Suzuki's games are basically designed as thrill rides (and he's explicitly said that this was a design goal). As such, they don't fare as well outside of arcades and people ended up playing inferior ports of them.
Shenmue is the exception, but it's a relatively niche game.

In contrast, Miyamoto's games are meant for the home market.
As such, they did well there and it's a lot easier to remember something you had more consistent access to than an arcade cab.
didn't help that when Sega's home systems could recreate the visuals his games demanded at home (Saturn, Dreamcast), Sega was busy fucking up completely in the home market

>>4105108
arcade ports are just a waste of time in general. nobody wants to play something that was designed to be turf you off the cabinet as quickly as possible by being completely cheap, tacky and frustrating. being able to push start and get more credits only adds so much extra.

>>4105023
because hes black

Dreamcast
coz now it has better online support than ps3

IBM-PC
IBM stopped making them entirely in 2005 and they're still huge.

I really enjoyed the original Bonestorm and its sequel Bonestorm II, however I feel that Bonestorm 3 added in too many ridiculous characters proving once again that the developers did not truly understand what they originally created.
