requesting a cute marin from Link's Awakening

>>3874675
What exactly do you mean? SD/chibi, /c/-cute, /e/-cute?

I mean it looks nice but it's obviously an unfinished concept that was never fully realized.

Context please

the gameplay looked very unfinished, but visually it looked amazing, almost one generation above the genesis

2 Months? You're not waiting nearly long enough.

fresh from reddit jr?

Give it a few years between replays, idiot.

Get yourself a decent Famiclone "standard" controller or wire yourself an adapter to use NES controllers.

>>3926334
what's considered a famiclone standard controller? those fake gray playstation controllers?

>>3926231
they might have standard 60-pin Fami game boards inside, but gramps' idea is easier.

Sonic 2 is the best stand-alone Sonic game of all time.

Licensed games are generally hit or miss but this one is a hit

If you're interested in playing the game I would suggest playing the game again.

Full heal before each boss is crucial
Learning Dash teleport is crucial.
Dash teleport at full health is the Key of the game mechanic. It a OP attack. when placed at the right moment it can empty half the boss health or even One shoot kill it.
Learn which boss and demi boss attacks can been leeched for health. so you can use you Dash teleport attack asap.
Each weapon has limited ammo.
Each new weapon grabbed on a level remplace you current weapon.
If the Weapon used match the weapon grabbed it restore all ammo and upgrade the capacity of the weapon by 250 point (cape at 2000 points.)So wait for the right upgrade.
2 flames 1 homing 1 lazer force are the combinaison I use the most.

It's not a game you finish in the afternoon. it take some practice but it is sooo much fun.

>>3926015
Keep at it. Seriously just keep at it. I fucking hated this game at first but the more practice I put into it the more I loved it.

When you are about to lose, but suddenly spark some amazing skill since there's a higher chance in boss battles. Having 11 different boss themes is also a plus.

Or something unusual happens and the fight gets more interesting, like in the picture.

huge fucking fucks that fuck you up

like Metal Slug or Contra

Are you trying to bait me into letting the other anon call me out for a repost of this pic? In that case the series: a pedantic, pontificating, pretentious bastard, a belligerent old fart, a worthless pile of cow dung ... figuratively speaking.

Notice how there's no one else responding to this thread regarding to this series. No one played the games. Those that have played it like I don't care enough about it either, and probably feels their time wasted could have better spent on other games.

For a dating game, one would think they'd design likable waifu tier characters, but no, they are variations of bland taken from a "how to design anime character" Japanimation amerimanga book. Sega threw the whole miniscule budget just to get the artist from You're Under Arrest and Aa! My Goddess to draw some characters just because he was hot shit at the time but never going so far as to develop any of them. It would be nice if the SRPG elements had any tactics to them, but they are all relatively straightforward with one solution throwing strategy or tactics out the window. So that throws both the visuals and gameplay out the window for anything worthwhile, so that leaves sound where they wanted inexperienced voice actresses which can sing, so essentially they hired probably the cheapest people they can get to do voice work. Understandable given Sega's shoestring budget, but when the Dreamcast rolled around, they went and blew all of Isao's money on Shenmue and Sakura Taisen 3, and all they had to show for it was a pretty cool non-grid combat system, but what a way to end a guy's life bankrupting him, Isao died so Sega can piss it all away. While the LIPS system was nice to make conversations more naturalistic, in the end it didn't provide a compelling story. I would dare say Walking Dead Season 2 on Xbox 360 is a significantly more compelling video game, so with all the haters of that game, you know where the Sakura Wars/Taisen games stand.

>Is it worth trying to get into with all the untranslated games out there?
Do you read Japanese?

It isn't really strategically/tactically complex at any level at all, so if you can't read the text, that's not going to be much draw to it.

I was interested in the series for the longest time because the premise sounds cool as fuck (Taisho era, waifus + mechs, what could go wrong?). However, as probably everyone already guessed, I never got into it because the games aren't translated. Consulting online translation guides while trying to play isn't my idea of having fun, so that's out as well. The only translated game (5) also sounds like the shittiest, and I have no interest in it.
I was hoping someone would pick the PS2 remake of 1 up for fan translation but that never happened either. Too bad, the opening animation and music of that game is the hypest thing ever.

Secret of Mana?

>>3924543
Back to Nature and Magical Melody are the best I have played. The SNES game has some charm for being the first one, but all around I can take the nostalgia glasses off and see it is inferior to some later installments in the series.

Only played 64 and liked it a great deal.
