Post games with hidden/alternative/advanced control options.
Shinobi 3 has a hidden 6 button control mode.
>>2813584
Does it just add a block and melee button?
>>2813584
While the 6 button control scheme made playing the game better(manual blocking, sword, etc) it also made an already somewhat simple game even easier. Which is why I'm guessing they left it as a "secret".
Since I found out about it(which was only a couple years back) I only play using the 6 button configuration but set the game on the highest difficulty. It's still piss easy tho.
>>2813601
Yes.
Do you know Nichibutsu?

Was this the peak of the run 'n' gun genre?
No, it was worse than Gunstar Heroes.

No it was Metal Slug 3

the crowning achievement of an otherwise thoroughly mediocre genre

What, nothing about the music? Did people realize that both soundtracks have amazing original tunes and thus it is impossible to prefer one over the other?
I'm pretty fond of the shmup level in Gunstar Heroes.
Unless I don't have the lightning saber. Doing this level on a difficulty above normal without it (or the chaser fireball if you're really good with it) is so difficult that I just restart until I get it.

The homing weapons are useless on Expert mode.
>>2812718
The only good weapons in the game regardless of difficulty are the lightsaber and homing+flame.
Laser + vulcan/laser + laser master race.
I am getting the urge to finally complete (maybe perfect) some of the older FF games (1-5 and maybe 6), and I know by now probably all of them have had portable remakes. Having played the originals already, do you folks think it's worth trying out the newer versions, or just stick to the classic retro versions? On paper, the remakes should be the way to go, but I just get this feeling that they will be completely weird to play, not to mention losing some of the aesthetic that made the originals so charming ("These are pirates for chrissakes!"). However, new side-dungeons, no save bugs, more efficient menus and all that stuff sounds appealing.
Let me know what you think

I hate jrpg, that's what I think
Go with your feelings. Just play whatever you want. The joy of gaming comes from discovering things on your own.

Thanks SO much for that update you little faggot. Why don't you go fuck off back to /v/ with that already?

There was a general for this shit. Delete this thread you ass-hat

Can you recommend me some games that I could keep playing for the rest of my life?

FF Tactics and the mods that are out there for it.
What is /vr/'s stance on Let's Plays?
Are there any good Youtubers who focus on retro games?
Is there any audience for those kind of videos?
I liked deceased crab suffering through la mulana, but after I played the game I am annoyed I ruined the game for myself.
On the other hand I'm glad he introduced me to it, and I beat the older version too. (but I never finished hell temple.)
He's sucked lately though.
I used to watch AVGN too, but he really did go downhill a lot.
I wouldn't argue with anyone saying face cams are cancer and virtually all the channels are crap, but I do watch them sometimes.
"Let's Play" is what I say to someone when we're actually going to fucking play something.
They should call those videos "Let's fucking watch somebody else play"s

I would say Continue Quest, maybe?
Its the Sega Saturns birthday today!
Do any of you have memories of this system from years ago, or has it always been just a curious oddity that you would read about in the battle between N64 and PS1?
I still say it could have made it if SEGA wasn't run by a bunch of dumbasses in Japan.
>>2811559
Do you mean business/marketing decisions, hardware architecture, or both?
>>2811550
I ended up getting a Saturn about a year ago just to play fighters megamix and it's been one of my favorite consoles ever since.
Even though most of the console game ports to the Saturn were trash I still think it had some good exclusives and arcade ports

This implies that this bastard-hard endurance run of a game is easy.

splatterhouse´s actually fun i have it on emulator atm

It was more of a pun-deadly.

Old PC hardware or virtualachine and dosbox?
Why??
>>2810932
Vacuum tubes were a bitch.
>>2810932
Depends, I like old hardware outside of video games, so I prefer orignal hardware but when I just want to play a dos game, DOSBOX way easier.
>>2810932
What are you more likely to enjoy?
A physical old machine may add some nostalgia to playing the games, but seriously, it's old PC hardware. It wasn't that special, and those games work perfectly fine in DOSBOX. If anything, you'd want a CRT attached to a normal, modern computer.
Your most memorable /vr/ sound effect?
Mine would have to be the "whoo" noise the enemy cannon fodder make in the Spider-Man arcade game. You could hear it so distinctly over all of the other arcade cabinets. Hell, you could hear it over everyone bowling.

The dying sound in Alex Kidd in MW. I've heard that shit a lot when I was a kid.

Three Sisters Story. I actually want to go back and get the "good" end, no fucking anyone but the sisters.
Has anyone had any experience with these replacement sticks? I want to get some replacements for my controllers, but I'm torn between getting the 'normal' style or the 'gamecube' style.
I'm not sure if I want to be a purist and go for the normal style, or if I want the comfort of using the gamecube style thumbstick (perhaps that will be easier to use it for certain mario party minigames that require you to rapidly rotate the thumbstick).
Are there any issues I should look out for? I hear that there are some sensitivity issues with...

I got those replacement PCBs from the German guy for the GCN style sticks.
Flawless.
I have a GameCube styled stick on one of my controllers. I haven't had any issues with it. I did have to get used to the new sensitivity, but once I did, my high score in starfox 64 rose a bit, and I got better at the Zelda shooting minigames.
tl;dr I like my replacement stick.
I got a pair of the original styled replacements and outside of having a loose wiring issue which was easily fixed, they've worked just as well as the original
