I've been looking through some of the screenshots of the game, and I've tried to translate them with either Kanji or Katakana.
What language does this game use?
Also Mother 3/Earthbound 64 discussion thread
>>3213913
That's hiragana. It says something like :
"Da zo gedegude-!"
"Tou chyan!"
not sure what that means, my comprehension is terrible.
A lot of people say the unreleased version of Mother 3 is ugly, but I actually prefer this look to the GBA version. It reminds me of that uncanny "realism" early N64 and PS1 games had that felt sort of eery and dreamlike. Would have loved to explore the original vision for this game, but we'll probably never see a leak if it even still exists
>>3213951
Nope.
It's saying "dazugete gude-! toucha-n!", which is a mispronunciation of "save me! daddy!".
What was your first retro game?
>>3198912
MW2
>>3198912
One that is actually retro.
>>3198912
You're trolling, but, Sonic 1.

Playing megaman 2 for the first time, saw this thread. Just strolling by to say fuck heat man stage, fuck those disappearing blocks, fuck heat man and his fucking relatives.
Is the original Metroid fun for someone who generally doesn't go back thar far? I just realized I'm never going to beat Zero Mission because of this bullshit cat and mouse suspense/thriller crap sucking all the fun out of it after you kill Mother Brain, so I'm tempted to just play through the original but I'm always kinda iffy about anything before the 16 bit era
It's fun in the sense you explore and shoot things. The platforming physics feel better than Super, in my opinion.
The only really unfair part are the invisible floors in Norfair (?).
>>3229358
just play Metroid: zero mission, the orignal hasn't held up well
>>3229358
Wouldn't it be faster to just do it?

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

So i have a 15Khz pc monitor but the other day intel HD drivers let me select 320x240p on it.
Is this some emulated mode? or is it double scanning it?
>>3229382
*30Khz
sorry not 15Khz
it let me select 240p on a 31Khz monitor
Still rocking that KV Trinitron. I really want one of those black curved screen late 90s XBRs because they have component video, but its a really specific one. I've pretty much given up with trying to find a nice PVM.
>tfw you have 95 and have no idea what the last goal post is anymore
>>3228765
Probably that one Choco Island stage, the tricky one with like 5 ways to complete the level.
>>3228765
I remember figuring out what last star I missed.
The Ghost House in Forest of Illusion has two exits, one of which will send you back to Forest of Illusion 1.
What's the best, definitive, "if you're only going to play one play this one", Wario Land game?
I've only tried [notretro]Wario Land: Shake It[/notretro], and while it's visually gorgeous, it was a bit slow and easy for my taste.
I know the VirtualBoy one has quite a following, but I'm not sure if it's only because it might be the only redeeming game on that catalogue.
Wario Land 4 looks fine, but I'm wonder what people who've completely played them all recommend.
>>3228656
Having only played 3 I say 3. Goodbye.
>>3228656
Vb wario is best
>>3228656
All the /vr/-compliant ones are awesome, but they're basically come in two very different flavors:
* the first two (original and Virtual Boy) are the most traditional, but great in every way, specially compared with the (then) available handheld Marios. I still like the original best among the two, but it's a fucking crime we won't ever get a VC port for the 3DS of the latter.
* II and 3 have extremely fun, unique gameplay and they represent the real, legitimate start of the Wario series as its own thing. They're similar enough to each other, so 3 would have to be the best
>>3228426
Pretty much all of them. I suck so bad at those games. Fate of Atlantis was the only one that didn't make me feel like a complete retard.
I always get screwed up by pixel hunting.
The worst was in Sam n Max Hit the Road. I had to stop playing for weeks because I didn't know where to get money to pay for items at the convenience store.
Turned out I had to use hand on the mouse hole in their office.
>>3228438
I found the mouse hole but I thought he was only joking when he said they kept their money in there so I just forgot about it an moved on.
Where do you find friends that are into Retro vidya?

Which style of Wario games do you like more, /vr/?
Hiroji Kiyotake's Wario games:
>Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
>Virtual Boy Wario Land
>Wario Land 4
>Wario World (advisor)
>also made Metroid II
Takehiko Hosokawa's Wario games:
>Wario Land II
>Wario Land 3
>also made Metroid
As you can tell, Hosokawa's style are more puzzle-oriented, Wario is invincible, and there's an emphasis on transformations. Whereas Kiyotake's Warios are more action-based, with levels that flow faster and have more obvious treasures, lacking the explorative approach of II/3.
VBWL has a nice balance between action and exploration
I prefer the older Wario games. The newer games don't feel right.
Hiroji Kiyotake's
I enjoy Wario Land 2 and 3 but eh, I'm one of those guys that really enjoyed Wario World and Wario Land 4 and always wanted to see more games like those. Never got them, though.
Why the fuck did Final Fantasy games name their ice princess summon after this dude? The most they have in common is they're both blue.
If given the option in game I always renamed Shiva to Freyja. It just seems more appropriate.
>>3227851
>The most they have in common is they're both blue.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's as far as their thought-process went. Wouldn't be the first time such a thing happened in nip land
>>3227851
Final Fantasy takes a very fast-and-loose approach with almost all of its mythological appropriations. Japan has a tendency to take "what sounds cool" over "what makes sense."
>>3227851
That's what smt is for my nigga.
(mostly) accurate representations of different mythologies
What's the best Raiden game? In my opinion, Raiden 1 is the best.
>>3227581
Raiden DX was so fucking awesome! Its my second favorite!
>>3227575
I always preferred fighters jet myself.
Used to play the hell out of it at my local arcade before going to movies, no fucking clue how the hell they got that.
What's the hardest retro game you ever played? Pic unrelated.
Super Mario Bros. 2 J
Tower of Druaga
Wizardry IV
>>3227405
I see you haven't played many retrogames in your life if you think this is hard.
Its only "hard" in comparison with SMB1.
I can't believe this is a real game.
best pkmn game
>>3227420
what the fuck is this?
is this a god damn SF shooter?
