Oh, and I could give you an explanation of why, but it would take a while, but I recommend finding out the weaknesses to all the bosses before you play.

The second installment is always the best or the one that introduces heterodox views to a saga:
- Mario 2
- Zelda 2
- FF 2
- DQ 2
- Castlevania 2

Well it makes sense that the first sequel is where a franchise will attempt to spread its wings, try new ideas which either succeed and expand its scope or don't, resulting in a return to the original form. It's like the video game equivalent of second album syndrome.

It's not even close to being in the running for the best, but it's near the top of the "Not even close to being in the running for the best but still really great"-tier JRPGs.

I like Grandia and Grandia II, OP. It's alright. I dunno about best, but it's definitely pretty good.

Let's talk about Mega Man X1-4.
>Formulaic.
>Figuring out what boss is weak to what is purely trial and error.
But maybe they intend for you to play it as a straight action game, and if you discover a weakness, it's supposed to be a happy accident.
>The upgrades are in the same place every time, so once you collect all of them, the game becomes trivial, other than the last stages.
>Even then, if you know what you're doing, they could still be trivial.
>Fun movement mechanics: wall jumping, dashing, air-dashing...
>Huge arsenal of weapons in each game.
>It's fun to discover how they work.
>In X4, Zero is completely different than X.
>These games are typical Japanese style over substance.
>The gameplay is fine, but it's structured shittily.

Are you the same guy who was complaining about LttP being too linear/not having an open world?
>>
>>3940792
When was this? I don't think so. I agree that it's too linear, though.
Can you name any ripoff games?

I like the first one better than Karnovs Revenge.
>>
>>3940754
apple vs orange.
The first karnov was a hell of action game. I love data east craziness.
Karnov revenge is one solid and fun Fighting game. you will be surprise how forward and still strategic that game can be. There is no open window for punishing on most S move. it a game based on heavy pressing and reaction of the other player. there is no limite or condition for "Special art" but they have a big open window for counter punishment.
That why nips still play the game. (Even here we had some local tourneys including the game )

I think he's talking about the first Fighter's History, not Karnov.
People throw the phrase "Street Fighter clone" around a lot when discussing 90s fighting games, but the first Fighter's History really fits the bill. The character select and win quote screens are practically identical.

Hey everyone who is interested. This is the anon in Japan from last week. Sorry I barely gave any updates over the past 7 days but I didn't have a chance to go to another store until this weekend.
For those who missed the last thread I live and work in Japan and recently I've started going to stores that carry retro games and gauging interest on /vr/ if there is anything people are looking for. If you have a specific request you can email me at:
[email protected]
I'll post the pictures in this thread to :
https://goo gl/photos/vzXikcLGkwJBhz6n9
I also created a google sheet where people can leave requests:
https://docs.google com/spreadsheets/d/1FQVdn9kuzr-fB8BUoeZODLnrh8EDia_4SDWbtAAxVg8/edit?usp=sharing
For the anon who asked about a boxed Super Famicom, I should be able to ship one to the US for about 1900 yen (1500 without tracking but I don't recommend it) and the cheapest one I've seen recently is 4800 yen.
You can see the pictures in the google photos link but I'm going to dump some anyway for those who don't have a gmail.

This store's prices aren't quite as good as the one last week but they have a "junk" section where you can get some pretty good discounts. Yesterday I found the Sega Saturn light gun for 100 yen.
Unfortunately they were kind of picked over. Hopefully they restock soon.

I NEED to know more about him, Nadera Bukichi, He has some amazing art, and if anyone knows where I can find anything about him, that would be amazing.
He used to make some BEAUTIFUL pixel art for eroge games (mostly).

Most of these were meant to be based on genres rather then time periods. Also I imagine that with a war theme it's a bit harder to have the sillier tone the game has without seemin weird.

I try to be V. Hard with no deaths at least once a week, and usually do
I've barely played any of the other modes though. Puzzle mode eventually became a soul-sucking tease.
>>
>>3937920
I haven't played in ages, but I beat all modes on all difficulties. I also cracked the password system just by taking notes and isolating the variables, allowing me to make passwords that you couldn't achieve through normal play. I had one that takes you to the end of puzzle mode with zero time elapsed. If I ever find my old notes, I'll post my passwords.
