Why are dial-a-combo fighting games so shit?
Which games are like that? I can name Killer Instinct, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Samurai Shodown IV.
what does dial-a-combo mean

There's nothing wrong with emulation.
People want to play games as opposed to the collector aspect and that's fine.
What's that game that absolutely destroys you with nostalgia for better days?
>>3088524Demon's Souls
Because that's when I had everything going for me. Out of highschool, employed at a good job, hanging out with a QT who almost became my GF.
Then everything spiraled out of control and here I am in my parent's basement wondering where I went so fucking wrong.
>>3088536
You actually dodged a bullet but you don't realize it.
You're still in time.
Secret of Mana. Everything about it is nostalgic, especially the music.You can still do a proper new game in the mana series, squeenix. Hurry up.
/vr/ comics?

NOW we're done.
I just watched this GDC talk about commercializing emulation for the sake of preservation, and it got me thinking...
Would you pay for a Spotify/Netflix type service which gave access to large libraries of emulated classic console games?
Here's the talk if anyone is interested: http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1023470/-It-s-Just-Emulation

No.
>>3123802
>Would you pay for a Spotify/Netflix type service which gave access to large libraries of emulated classic console games?
Easy no.
Absolutely not, for the same reason I don't use the actual Spotify and Netflix. I'd consider it if you paid the publisher directly for the right to download a DRM-free clean dump of the ROM that you could play in any emulator or load onto a flash cart, but I would not fall for the subscription meme.
How do I fix this?

I don't remember circles around speedometer.

All dem trains are different, my man.
Which version is that? I'm just recalling it from memory, but I think you either need to open the door on the correct side, or you can't leave the station until the doors have closed.
how good are you at fighting games
>>3098615
I can 1cc King of Fighters '94
>>3098615
I consider myself decent.
But then again i got btfo by a 11-13 year old girl in an arcade once. The giggling from her and her friend stung like a motherfucker.
>>3098615
street fighter alpha 2 I can play all the way no losses on max.
with Katana
Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that the N64 is a piece of shit
>>3125473
I dusted earlier, theres no dust anywhere.
nah, it was awesome. Golden Eye and Mario Kart ruled the late 90s
>>3125473
We could, except for the fact that you're objectively wrong.
Nintendo didn't do so well with the Nintendo 64.
It didn't do so well the Gamecube.
It did AMAZINGLY and outsold all the systems of last gen and this gen with the Wii, which sold over 100 million units.
Suddenly, it doesn't do so well with the Wii U, and everyone is claiming that nintendo is done if the NX isn't great.
Hasn't Nintendo seen worse times in the past? Why are people pretending this is the worst Nintendo's dealt with?
After selling 100 million Wii's or more, the company seems fine.
Because it seems like they don't even have a real audience anymore. They've alienated basically everybody at this point.
>>3123524
Weren't people saying this after the N64 and Gamecube too?
>>3123524
Who would fill in Nintendo's shoes?
There has to be a few companies waiting in the wings to cannibalize Nintendo's console market.
What are some fun retro Dragonball games, /vr/?
Super Butoden 2 is my favorite Dragon Ball game period.
>>3094940
Does it have any slowdown like the SNES is infamous for?
>>3095130
no its a fighting game so it doesnt have to render a ton of sprites that slow things down. With the turbo speed enabled its fun as hell. Super butouden in OP pic is awesome too except the fastest speed on it is a little too fast haha its pretty chaotic.
Do we have a definitive reason why the Sega failed?
How could a power house able to contend with Nintendo and win in some cases immediately slip and fall because of Sony? Sony, who even worked with Sega to mess up Nintendo at some points.
There has to be more to it than that. Is the key the Saturn, or is it with the 32x and even with the Sega CD?
Is it possible Sega could have survived if they had just released a true Sonic game as a Saturn launch title?
>>3124493
They had like 3 consoles in 4 years no one gave a fuck about. Are you seriously so dense?
>>3124493
1. Saturn price. The Saturn was too expensive and it did similar things to the PS1. There are theoretical arguments that it was more powerful, but that wasn't seen in practice. If it had been an equal price to the PS1, competition would have roared.
2. The 32X. Sega toyed with the idea of the Sega Neptune for years before cancelling it and releasing the 32X for the Genesis. Even if people didn't buy it, it severely damaged Sega's reputation and definitely affected Saturn sales.
And that's...

32X, hiring Bernie Stolar, constant fights between the American and the Japanese divison in general, bad planning and some bad luck.

YES, I don't even care that it's on smartphones
I wonder if this means that translators won't even bother with the SNES version now

literally who cares
just bought a broken sega saturn for 25, /vr/, doesn't read discs. how bad'd i fuck up?
i'm comfortable with opening and maintaining systems, btw.
Buy a replacement laser, install. Problem likely solved.
>>3122418
probably not too bad, open it up, clean it out, try and figure out the problem. saturns are pretty brickhouse-y if you get what i mean, so the problem will probably be a simple one
I contribute to a minor gaming site and I'm undertaking a big project - a top 100 list of RPG battle music. Since I've only played a fraction of all the RPGs out there I'm looking to compile this list from as big a pool of opinions as possible. So what are your favorites?
They can be from either Japanese or Western games. They can be either turn-based, action, or tactical RPGs. It can be a normal theme or a special one which only played for one specific fight. And the only limit I'll be enforcing is only 2 songs per game will be allowed on the final...
