In a list from 0 to 10 games to be played in order of learning and undestanding japanese...

Maybe original Pokemon Red and Green would be good options?

I think playing Japanese versions of games that are already translated in English is a good start, since you can compare and contrast between the two. That is assuming the localized dialogue matches up with the original. That's how I figured that Double Dragon III on FC has a different story compared to the NES version.

I tried doing that with Soul Hackers, comparing Sega Satan and Nintendo3DS versions an it really worked, but there are some hard points about kanji.

Game Boy RPGs are a good option since you will read hiragana and katakana and by that start learning japaneses phonetically, the first way of learning a language, as tiny kids do.

Am I right?

Basically they're shit regardless. Play on an OG console, or use an Emulator.

If you absolutely refused to use an emulator, and only have an HDTV that has an unacceptable amount of input lag for SD inputs, they aren't the worst thing, they are rife with problems though.

>hardware clones with HDMI output
So far as we've seen, the cheap ones like the one in the photo are still outputting composite, then feeding the composite internally to a dirt cheap composite-to-HDMI upscaler, so it's the same thing you could already do, but higher priced to have it built in.
(Obviously the AVS and NT mini are another matter.)

>>3992927
It depends on how well it will do HDMI or if it can be modded with RGB.

I always preferred SoR2 to 3 because of that awesome soundtrack, but I like the special move bar in 3 that let you use a special w/o it costing any life.

Yes, it's all about practice and knowing the appropriate ranges for grappling distance, enemy attack triggering, and so forth. Here's some workhorse approaches to practice:

1) The Turtle Flipper
Just go for particularly sluggish enemies straight from the top or bottom (flip yourself so you get a back grip, which gives you more powerful moves)

2) The Blind Spotter
Sort of the same a 1 but a little more versatile: approach the target diagonally while keeping yourself mostly outside the horizontal and vertical ranges of his hit box, then quickly close the remaining gap into a grab

3) The Discount Hypnotist
Develop a general idea of the stun times of your foes, the range of your basic punch, and the correct button pacing so you can hit an enemy with a single punch, quickly advance a step during the stun time, and hit again and the exact time of his recovery but without activating your basic combo so you can repeat until you're close enough to just walk in and grab.

4) The Murder Lapdance
Mind your character's jumping range and jump towards the enemy so you land exactly in grappling distance for an automatic grab. Many enemies have anti-aerials, so learn the optimal distance and angle to minimize the change of triggering them.

5) The Fancy VIP Room Murder Lapdance
Like 4, but you press back to flip yourself in the exact moment you land so you get a back grab. Use with Max to unleash the full terror of this approach.

4 and 5 can be performed from a shorter range in combination with 3 for extra safety.


Bonus 1: The Happy Lander
It's surprising just how many people don't know this: in any SoR game you can get unscathed from an enemy throw if you press and hold Up+C while you're being hurled.

Bonus 2: The Valkyrie
Enemies on the ground nearby? Wait for them in grappling position while they get up for a freebie

Uh, thanks. 3 had actually never occurred to me before despite it's simplicity. It's certainly making SoR1 easier, so cheers. I've been doing what you call "the valkyrie" for a while now and sometimes I find myself getting grabbed instead anyway. Especially on bosses.

Maybe some bosses you just can't throw?

>>3983358
Just from remembering conversations as a kid I think I might be in the minority on this, but I think I prefer the health drain specials. People'd say that makes them pointless, but I feel like it brings a small element of strategy to it. You know "will this situation hurt me more than the move will" kinda thing. Also gives utility to health pickups when you're already full.

I love this game! Great video too. Thanks for the memory trip.

doom is metal as fuck.
>the weapons feel sooo damn satisfying to use
>the soundtrack is inspired by awesome metal artists of the time, and its very fitting for singlehandedly going through hell and back, and back to hell again like a total badass

>>4003542
I like Duke3D and Quake better but if you think Doom is dull you might just be boring.

The doors don't kill you

Charisma is good for having many companions and getting good start to speech skill. Endurance doesn't need to be high, I recommend agility and intelligence more.

ME KILL EVERYTHING

>>4002871
Jinxed to passively fuck everything around you, LK 10 to counteract it's effects on yourself, Bloody Mess for extra sauce. Rest of it whatever, it won't matter.

it's been so long I can't actually remember if you can pick jinxed and bloody mess at the same time

Chrono Trigger
FFVI
Breath of Fire 2 (with the retranslation patch)
Super Mario RPG
Lufia 2
Earthbound

>>4002731
>Earthbound
Opinion invalidated.

Shadowrun

That arcade Popeye game. As a kid, I lost probably $1000 worth of quarters on that game.

>>4002605
Street Fighter 2010 isn't THAT hard. If you manage to build up a decent beam meter it can make certain enemies and areas cakewalks.

Now Ninja Gaiden on the other hand... the amount of trash bullshit enemies clogging up the screen in the last level is fucking masochistic.

>He was a good friend.

fuck off back to /tv/

>>4002451
Lead the way, sir. Seems like you know a lot about /tv/.

>>4002456
Why don't I stay here this time, and you go out and check.

It's a lot of fun once you git gud and learn how to use scuttlebugs to transport yourself effortless through most of the later levels without so much as a button press.

Is Banjo Kazooie better? I never played them

>he didn't build up speed for 12 hours
Top pleb.

It's the best Sonic game.
>turn it off after marble zone
You're turning it off at the best part.

I never understood the "hold right for gameplay"-mechanic either.

>>4001257
I beat it today, that's what I said

Yea Spring Yard Zone was fun but Labyrinth was a drag

Of the systems I've owned (NES, SNES, GENS, N64, PS, and newer), super nintendo is my favorite controller followed by playstation, gens, nes, n64

Thinking of all the platforms I've ever played on, the GBA had the best control schemes considering the hardware. The input is limited, but developers reliably found very creative and intuitive ways to make it work.

On the SNES it sometimes feels like they had no idea what to do with all the extra buttons (of course it was nonetheless a blessing for more complex games).

On modern consoles... well they do have a lot of buttons on their controllers, and developers usually feel compelled to make use of ALL of them, irregardless of gameplay complexity.

That doesn't mean I think any GBA iteration is the best controller, just a thought I had. I'm biased towards Nintendo products, because I've had them growing up, but I realize there are so many other valid alternatives, I'll reserve judgement.

Whine & demand a plug-in that corrects the texture-projection issue?

"Current Status

Currently, the emulator can get through the BIOS, but hasn't booted any commercial games yet. A software rasterizer is used to attempt pixel accurate graphical output, the results are quite nice!"
>Project's been active for over 1 year.

So... considering that this'll never be finished, I won't have to do anything

Also, based on the logo, this looks like some audiophile ps1 project.
