It wasn't selling as well as the NES? True facts.

did you know Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human being? He was a vessel that enclosed 7 yakuza oni spirits from 7 different regions in Japan. These oni monopolized the gambling in Japan with the hanafuda Nintendo cards and put a spell so that no other company could produce cards, truly evil.

Yamauchi, often referred to as "大魔王 ティラノ天堂" (Great Evil King Tyranotendo), tyranized the video games market with his monopolic practises, it is said that the Master System or the PC Engine didn't actually ever exist, and that they were invented time after so hide the fact that the Famicom was actually the one and only console existing in Japan.

Banking on a market share to magically shift in the opposite direction is kind of like wasting your time on the video game. Dealing with nintendo's nazi licensing regime was preferable to not making money.

>1. What makes the NES top loader superior to the original?
The fact that it supports only shitty radio frequency and all the games have a noticeable vertical lines all over. Truly the superior experience.

>>3799152
There's really nothing superior except the design. The video output is worse than the original Famicom.

>>3799152
For 2. There is no reason they would make more NES, because they have the classic, and they would make no money off of game sales as all carts are from 2nd hand sellers.

For 3.Same as 2, what limited quantity however big or small is in the hands of second hand sellers.Some games are more desired or are in more limited a quantity than others, so the prices rise, often quite a lot. That and the popularity of retro gaming has increased quite a bit in recent years.

All of those consoles have native RF output just connect it to the coaxial input and check channels 2, 3 & 4 you could also actually clip it to a TV so old it only had twinscrew connections.

N64 has an RF adapter via the multi-out port that can be picked up on channel 3 or 4

>>3796305
This question doesn't make any sense. Yes, connecting a console's RF adapter to the ANT-IN on an analog TV will work. That's literally what it's for. It is "broadcasting" on channel 3 (or 4, as selected by a switch on some consoles).

This was the normal way of hooking up game consoles (not to mention camcorders etc.) to TVs for decades. I can't imagine how you are unfamiliar with this.

This question is actually more difficult than I thought, there is no series I liked as a whole.

That said, I like the way Fatal Fury evolved as Mark of the Wolves. It was the most classy step for a franchise I ever saw. Fortunately, gameplay is as good as it looks.

Pic unrelated.

For me it's MK but thats mostly nostalgia at this point

Guilty Gear.

>Rpg's
I still like them but I just don't have the time/patience to play them anymore.

Definitely jrpgs.

>>3804720
Came to post this. I still like just about everything else that I've always liked

>>3803710
Yes. You're just used to games with better frame rates.
Banjo-Tooie's frame rate is even worse.

the N64 doesn't get worse overtime

But the framerate is pretty decent except for Rusty Bucket Bay

>but it's not an absolutely rock solid stable 30
If this was your point all along you can fuck right off

You are playing the best one. I prefer the REMIX version for SNES, though. It has extra content that isn't on Genesis PP2.

Why would you play that weebshit when Tetris is a much better puzzle game?

Why not both?

Pretty good if you like fighting games. Kinda shitty otherwise.

THREE GAMES

FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARYDOOS

The neo-geo.com fanbase is the most cancerous and autistic gaming community there is. They inflated the price of the games so much that the market was flooded with bootlegs. This is probably the worst console to collect for.

>>3802375

Those were games that were suppose to have been destroyed/recalled. There's like 5 of them. It's not comparable to the arcade carts.

Oh hey, Warning Forever I love that game. Is it retro? I didn't realise that.

You need to actually try to be nice to people sometimes. Can you manage a full paragraph without choking on your own blind constant hate?

Why not use RGB or S-video with your consumer set?

the VGA port on the dreamcast only outputs 480p

>>3801308
Well I'm a burger so I don't have a TV with a SCART jack, and I was under the impression that VGA 480p was far superior to S-Video 480i. Dreamcast for whatever reason doesn't offer component support.

>>3801304
You should use VGA when you have a TV or Monitor that's compatible with it (since for some reason it isn't compatible with all TVs that have VGA) and since you are an American you should use S-video

looks real interesting, might check it out. I looked up the company and they made The Residents' game too. that's probably even weirder.

It has voice-work by none other than William S. Burroughs so that means it's gotta be fucked (in a good way). That screenshot alone is creepy as hell.

he's got them scream eyes

Awesome, glad to hear that it's playable.

>they made a Primal Rage sequel
>the fighters are hideous looking giants
>the dinosaurs and apes are relegated to a special attack
>making a Primal Rage sequel with a roster that isn't just more dinosaurs

How did they fuck up this badly? Who could look at Primal Rage and not recognize that the biggest draw for kids and adults alike was "holy shit! - giant dinosaur fighting game?"

If there are other continents on the other side of the planet why not just create more giant animal fighters?

>>3798614
You can play as the dinosaurs or the human avatars.

What is it about Deus Ex that people keep playing after so many years?

Ah yeah pretty much answered my question
just re-thinking the process there.

WHY

>>3798231
It uses the same composite cables as the SNES and N64. It won't work with s-video or RGB, but composite works fine.

>>3798238

That's good. I read somewhere using a generic cable would cross signals and blow a capacitor somehow. Thanks for the tip.

>>3798241

I was going to say google it, but I can't find any information on this either...interesting though. I do remember seeing a YouTube video of some guy using a generic cable twice and messing something up on the inside, requiring a mod to fix it. Idk OP..
