Where were you when SEGA went third party?
Probably whacking off
>>3900417
I was busy playing games on the far superior PS2 lol
I was in 5th grade and I wasn't using the internet at this point so I didn't find out until several months later when it was in EGM.
It's so strange to think about how fast we get our news now compared to back in the magazine days.
What is the best retro FPS and why is it pic related?
That's not Shadow Warrior.

I like how the top of the N64 is curvy and smooth instead of square. I could stare at it all day long.
>>3900113
I owned both a PS1 and an N64 as a teenager. I think the only games I had were OoT and Smash Bros., but rentals were still a thing back then, so it was a lot more affordable to rent games I'd want to play on the N64. N64 games retailed at $60 and never saw any price drops ever. Meanwhile, I built up a nice library for my PS1 just investing in titles that hit the bargain bins years after release.
/vr/ loves to hate it because it is popular with normoids, but it still doesn't change that it was the best 5th gen console
Best way to play FFVI??
On a 36" trinitron
>>3900112
GBA patched, or SNES
IF, and that's a pretty big IF, you can get over the shitty UI, and sprites. Steam or iOS
>>3900112
the mobile versions have some serious graphical issues. most of it is nice, but the over world is lazy as fuck, and the text is pretty lame.
that said, I thought the sprites were a decent improvement, even if they were high resolution, on pixel backgrounds. the music is pretty much the SNES original, the story is unchanged, the translation is much nicer, and there are a bunch of extras, like a bestiary.
just, play it on your phone, not on a tablet, and it will look fine.
I have been wondering about this for a while now.
Serious answers only please.

It's fun beating Krang at that ninja star game.
What can be improved with this display setup?
Condense it all into a single arcade cabinet
Are you opening a goddamn museum, OP? If not, I literally cannot think of a more autistic thing than those info cards.
>>3899670
remove the museum signs for sure. You have too many TVs, just get a switcher or something if you must have everything hooked up. You could probably find sleeker shelving than the black cubes too. I'd buy a single modern TV and an upscaler and get rid of most of it desu
Why did the Famicom Disk system not catch on in North America?
>>3899578
because its a childs toy and american kids would try to eat them like switch chips.
>>3899579
Fat parents having fat kids ruin everything.

So a bunch of idiots could eventually feel superior by appreciating it 30 years later as the superior hardware
What are some hidden gems for the NES?
New Ghostbusters II
Hammerin' Harry
Super Turrican
Mr. Gimmick!
Ufouria: The Saga
None. All the good games are well known now.
>>3899448
You're going to get a lot of shitposts OP, and this is why. Even the SNES doesn't have any non-Japanese "hidden gems".
What are your favorite licensed games, /vr/? Pic related is the best puzzle-platformer I've played.
Superman 64

I BELIEEEEEVE I CAN FLYYYYY
I loved how many mini games and interesting npcs there were to interact with in ff9. I know not everyone likes it, but its my favorite ff because of those things. Also the character development was decent. And it had(in my opinion) one of the greatest ending scenes and developing romances shown in a video game. Can you guys give me suggestions for games with similar levels of ultimate comfiness? Thanks pic related

Anon, this game is comfy as shit http://transcorp.romhacking.net/projects/herc4/screens/
>>3899297
FF9 has a nice art style, but I didn't care much for the setting or characters. Everything was too linear, and the game had way too many FMVs and cutscenes constantly interrupting gameplay. They even added some "QTE" mechanic because the game was so over-saturated with cutscenes that no sane player would want to be subjected to them all in a single playthrough.
I'm sure you'll probably disagree, but I think FF8 had the most comfy setting. The art direction is the most realistic to date, even though it may not be very realistic to have flying Gardens and superhero characters.
>>3899297
Earthbound, very fantastical.
How the FUCK do you beat level 57?
>>3898565
Spew your bubbles towards the center of the screen and jump on them when they get stuck in the middle
>>3898565
cross your fingers for an umbrella on one of the levels just before it.
>>3898565
You know you can hold jump and bounce on your own bubbles.
>/vr/ now hates Sega and Sony
what happened? when did this place become a haven to nintendrones? what's with all the hate for these consoles in the last month or two? are we being invaded by underages?
Every now and then a system gets totally shat on way more than normal. I'd prefer it never happened at all, and it sucks, but there's not much you can do besides reporting consolewar shitposters.
>/vr/ is one person
Everyone hates sonyggers. And Sony is just doing progressive cinematic bullshit these days.
Flash is retro. It was renamed Flash in 1996, and it's origins go back even further.
>>3898446
What are some good /vr/ Flash games you like, then?
