anything after sonic advance 3 is dead to me

Pretty much every Sega series. But especially Jet Set Radio.

If it's not dead then it's not retro.

Metroid.

Search your heart, you know it to be true.

F-Zero and Pilot Wings games on the Wii U would be nice.

Juuust scored a Sega Saturn and this game today. Incredibly excited.

On topic though: Bomberman.

One of the most commercially successful franchises in gaming history. Had ~70 games. And now? Best we get is an iOS/Android app announcement.

>>2901870
I loved these games.

Bug was pretty cool too.

>>2901912

RIP Hudson ;_;

Pretty much the only Bomberman games I play these days are Saturn Bomberman, the Super Bomberman games and Bomberman 64.

You should have bought Clockwork Knight 2. It has the entire first game on the same disc as an unlockable.

Good taste though, CK 1 and 2 are among the most charming, polished, soulful games on the Saturn.

so many fighting games simply ran their course, and don't need a resurrection. Then, there are games like this one... This game could be so awesome, with the new SF5 engine and some updated costumes for the characters. Hell, even totally new characters playing with the same tropes. like, their everybody's kids, or something.

also, Darkstalkers. because, in this world of grimdark shooters, Tomb Raider clones, and open world RPGs, we need some stupid fun

>>2901953
I would pay so much money for a new traditional ghosts n goblins game

>>2902395

Cross was so bad I never want them to touch the series again.

>>2902249
Ah, I didn't have a say in it, the guy I bought it off of just happened to have it and a couple other games. I'm glad to have picked it up though, maybe a while further down the line I'll pick up CK2 but I just ordered Panzer Dragoon as well so I have plenty to play for a good while now.

You have plenty to look forward to as well. CK2 is a masterpiece that improves on the original in every respect. It also oozes that jazzy 1990s Sega charm.

That game?

... I've played that game. What do you like about it? I'm intrigued.

>>2902229
Tell me about it. I just bought 3 of the ps1 games in hopes of playing it with a guide just to get that Goemon fix. It's ridiculous how they've turned it into a stupid pachinko machine.

>>2902661
How was V and the PsP one? Heard good things. I played the first four and liked each of them, even IV which was realistically subpar.

>>2902825
Not OP here. When I was a little kid I was transfixed by the art style in these games - the colorful characters, as well as some of the levels, like the library level in the second game. It was probably the first 3D (well, 2.5D I guess) game I played where all the models didn't look like complete crap.

I should go play them again and see if they hold up.

This could have been the coolest franchise. It had an amazing premise.

I'm glad it's dead. Tenchu went to shit over a decade ago.

It was a Mario clone. Still a damn good platformer regardless.

Nah man. The last decent one was Fatal Shadows. Z had some neat concepts but was a half assed game and all the others started straying way too far from what made Tenchu loved in the first place.

>>2905123
By all the others you mean Tenchu 4?
I admit i didn't played that one, but i liked Z and the Ps2 ones are just great.

>>2905130
There was that and some weird Bomberman styled game. Anyway Shadow Assassins ditched a lot of the core mechanics in favor of an extremely linear game with an RE4 style camera and QTE takedowns.

Looks neat but that's more of a Monster Land II clone than an actual sequel, it's like a respectful imitation. Still, I'm glad the original creator of the series is supposedly having some fun with it, but it's just not the same as an entry that acts as a true evolution of the series. Especially without Maki Ōzora designing the art and graphics

I'd go for it now man, PS2 games haven't really hit a rise in prices yet, and even for $40 now DC2 is so freaking good

>>2905679

I echo this.

Like, how the fuck do you fuckers put up with that god awful soundtrack?

The gameplay is undeniably good, but seriously, for those of you that are diehard fans: what do you have to say about the soundtrack?

>>2908846
I don't see anything special about the gameplay but love the soundtrack. Banjos and christmas songs.

>>2908873

For me, the soundtrack is obnoxious but I enjoy the classic platforming with the key turning mechanics as simple as they may be.

Did you play the Wii game? I love the original Saturn game but I heard mixed things about the sequel.

>>2911267
It's late I worded my post so wrong. I only played the Gameboy Advance version when I was a kid but I have been meaning to play the remastered Saturn Version. I never played the Wii U version. I knew the games existed as a kid but I had no idea where to find a Sega Saturn or even a Dreamcast. The GBA was so much fun but you had to download it from the Gamecube Episode II servers (I meant to EP2 not BB in the last post) so I don't know if I could even play it again.


I wish it was still a franchise, I might have been able to play more games or play them now.

Beautiful, wacky series of games. I mean, at least they tried to make a comeback on the PSP, which was not only good, but released internationally, even in 'murica. But I need more.

>>2911267
I grabbed up the Wii one as soon as I could because I was so happy it wasn't being left in the dust. I couldn't tell if it was nostalgia or not, but I didn't really like it. The surface stuff was like, kind of a dumb, involved story (unlike the vague, more effective story of the original) and not quite as charming graphics as the original. But I thought I was just sucking nostalgic dick too hard.

Then I met a friend who said he played the Wii one first and went back to the Saturn after all these years and he said he hated the Wii one as well. I figure it's a mix of trying to catch lightning in a bottle twice, as well as not as good design in most aspects leading to what only looks like a disappointment in comparison.

>>2911267
I didn't play the Saturn one, but I played the Wii one and I didn't like it. Made me less likely to play the Saturn one desu.
