>not deleting them upon your first death

was that ever even an actual law? seems like a contrivance made up before actual piracy laws existed

When you're smart like me, you delete the file but don't delete your save file (save state). When you want to play again, just download it again for another 24 hours

It was one of the first four SNES launch titles - I doubt they knew how to get a 2 player simultaneous mode programmed that didn't fucking suck balls.

You have to remember that this mode 7 shit was not easy to program for, especially with the SNES's slow processor. Two-player mode would have probably been at <15 FPS.

Explain Mario Kart then

Being a launch game, F-Zero lacks an extra chip that Super Mario Kart had that made multiplayer feasible. Jeremy Parish has a great video on this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvrzESikyTw

What then is the point of playing something you KNOW you'll succeed in? There's an old Twilight Zone episode where a criminal goes to the afterlife thinking it's heaven. He is given anything and everything he wants and he cannot fail at anything—especially his favorite pastime, gambling.. Clearly he's not in heaven—after months upon years of nothing but success he spirals into ennui and depression; there's no challenge in anything, his own personal hell is immense boredom.

This is how I feel about the state of the current games market.

Retro games demanded of the player to be better. They demanded the player not only travel through the game's levels but to master the controls as well. You didn't just need to know what buttons to push to jump or run, but you have to be able to feel every aspect of your character and their world; know their speed, the timing of their attacks, their hitbox size and location, the weight of their jumps, and much more. You had to “git gud.”

A common old game I see people shitting on is Ice Climber with the most common issue being the character not landing on platform edges. This is something one learns from putting in time with controlling the character. There's a definite landing zone but it exists a few pixels into a platform instead of right at the edges as one would expect. After getting used to the feel of this, Ice Climber becomes very playable and pretty enjoyable once the difficulty ramps up.

Another series of games is the old Castlevania titles. People call the movement limiting, the attacks slow, and the deaths cheap. I won't bother describing how wrong these beliefs are because at this point these games have a following big enough that someone else can explain it.

Now you don't have to love every old title. But at least give them your time before you pass judgment; especially if you feel like you want to like it. Shmups are a genre I often see people wanting to love but they feel they can't handle. Just play the game, play it and remember that failures as much a part of why you're enjoying the game as succeeding. You'll get better once you truly start feeling the game and it becomes natural to you.

Sincerely,

an autist.

Oh, there are a few games here and there, and sometimes in AAA productions too. Ryse: Son of Rome for example: on max difficulty it's almost God Hand hard.

AHAHAHAH

Why shawldn't it be?

It's a GBC game so, yes.

according to most people: yes. anything up to gamecube / xbox could be considered retro nowadays

by /vr/ standards: yeah, also. it was a fairly late release for the gbc, but the gbc is retro (1998 release date), the dreamcast would be the cut-off for retro status here

Why though, WHY

They're not like zero-replayability stuff like point and click adventures or whatever. They're fun, goddammit

I'm waiting for the AV Famicom Mini.

I might get one eventually to be able to take to friends' houses, but I'm not pre-ordering if that's what you mean.

I'll order one for my wife, keeps making stains on my retron

No, Grandia is, even though the superior version is on the Sega Saturn.

>>3539168
Because Sega fans on this board tended to be older anons. This board has been bleeding older anons for the past few months now as the underages continue to flock here from their favorite youtube channels. From my count, pretty much just the penguinposter and like 8 other anons are left of the old guard.

Sega kinda buried itself through ineptitude.

>>3539168
Because Sega is the Kelly Bundy of video games. She was the first to wear a mini skirt to school, first to wear hooker heels, first to give a handy, and even the first to date a guy with a car. Now that she's a little older, everyone else is doing the same, but nastier and poor Kelly is always in jail because she's constantly making dumbfuck decisions. I love Sega, but a lot of the criticism is well deserved.

You don't want to pay the prices collectors have set, get you think collectors are asses who should sell you a great game for no more than $5. Makes no sense. If you give a fuck about playing the game and enjoying it, emulating it should please you, especially at price.

>inb4 resellerscum

No, if I have stuff I don't want i like to trade with other collectors. Recently traded cib einhander for ps2 Trapt, huge profit margin lost, who cares I picked it up for cheap back in the day and it was a double of mine

>Tl;Dr - happy collector here, ask me anything and i will be honest, chilling, smoking, playing bushido blade

The loose SNES and Genesis carts being slanted kinda bothers me. There's a couple bagged NES games, can't see their titles. The NES area looks really well made, it looks like you've got thin slats running under each row to make pulling the games out easier. The boxed Genesis games are displayed well.

Close-up of the PS1 games area? Looks like you have a ton. Pics of a PS2 section?

Nice blog. Nobody cares.

At least Haggar got his revenge by stealing Zangief's chance to be in MVC3

Final Fight was supposed to be a sequel to Street Fighter so he kind of is in "SF2"

The fun thing about this, is that SF2, Final Fight, and Saturday Night Slammasters is canonically one universe.

probably not, but he does exist in the void that is heavily implied to link all the FF games together, as shown by gilgamesh crossing into other games

I dunno, if you just swung an ax a few times he'd be dead before the whole thing started.

"Most powerful" is probably Kuja due to being purpose made to fuck shit up.

It's honestly probably sephiroth, he is the offspring of a galactic terror that is most comparable to the thing, and ends up merging with aspects of the planet/lifestream. So dangerous the planet itself creates super weapons to purge itself of him and it still didn't work.

I wish the game was more about jenova though and not what is essentially her corpse. She's basically dead and she still wields that much influence and power

The first game isn't very hard unless you go to the optional areas, and it gets easier if you explore thoroughly and find items around the maps.

One thing that makes it a lot easier is if you spend your bonus points to increase Aya's turn speed (I think it's called something like Active Time in this game?) For some reason every level up she gets +10 points to all her stats which usually levels them up once, but if her stat costs less than 10 points to level next, the extra points are wasted. Her Speed is the only stat that varies like this, so if you use bonus points to level it when it costs less than 10, or to make up the difference so that the next 10 points will level it, she ends up being a lot faster (gets turns faster, she doesn't move faster) throughout the rest of the game, which actually helps a lot. Her speed eventually levels off to only ever cost 10 points as well, and you can put all your bonus points into her gun's attack power after that.

it's generally fine but the difficulty spikes pretty hard during the endgame. just don't fuck up the crafting. it's pretty easy to build a good go-to weapon, then proceed to ruin it with a retarded tweak. there's a lot of exotic weapons towards the end, and it's easy to fuck up your endgame when you're down to shitty ass weapons

>>3529585
Thanks for the tips. The main reason I suck at JRPGs is that I'm never sure how to properly upgrade stuff.

ebin :^)

Recently picked up strider and I'm really impressed for an early Genesis title. It's addictive too. One of those games you throw the controller down then come back 5 minutes later. I'm stuck on the part where you ride the centipede guy from the first stage. End up losing whatever lives I stockpiled there.
