This game looks fucking sick, and I'm thinking of picking it up. I rarely see anyone post about it on here though, is it not good or something?

Why is this objectively the best 16bit rpg?
Why not?
It was developed by two of the biggest software companies when they were in their prime.
Playable Bowser for the first time.
Revolutionary rythm-based battle system, great humor, wonderful visuals, awesome music and sound, startlingly deep story with deep characters, Mario
Is there any reason to play RPGs with a baterry save, or any long game in general, when it can easily be emulated?
I can understand the appeal of arcadey, action games on the original console, there's charm in it. But battery saves are just gambling with your free time and handicapping yourself.
Is there any point in grinding in an RPG and not just leveling your characters with a hex editor until you win?
>>3341380
Some games require you to save and restart the game to trigger flags. DQIII being one that comes to my mind first.

>Is there any reason to play RPGs in an emulator? Hard drive saves are just gambling with your free time.
If you're too retarded to back up your saves you deserve what you get regardless of how they're stored. I won't even get in to the whole FRAM thing until you're old enough to understand it.
How come NINTENDO couldn't make a single good Jurassic Park game?
>>3341265
SEGA does what Nintendon't
Same reason that Genesis couldn't either.Arcade games are superior to anything on console though
I loved the SNES Jurassic Park game. It was hard as hell and kind of shitty, but it's fun.

Considering how much the JRPG genre contributed to SONY's success, and how little Nintendo did to cultivate the genre during the NES and SNES era (and especially Nintendo's own CEO having negative opinions on RPGs at the time), was the N64's lack of JRPGs truly to blame on cartridges?
Let's remove the cartridge from the equation, because the SNES proved you can make great JRPGs with cartridges. Is it more likely that companies just didn't want to put up with Nintendo's bullshit because they knew what the company was like when it came to RPGs?

Yeah, instead of the entire disc filled with FMVs and voice acting, they'd have to focus on gameplay.

How come fighting games age like milk?
Because you have no friends to play against.
Fighting games really don't age at all. A good one will remain playable forever.
Nobody played this game back then for the same reasons they don't now
Stop trying to be a hipster faggot finding "obscure games", the fighting genre is already somewhat obscure, the games people consider good are the good ones and the ones you never hear about are typically the bad ones
Faggot
Fighting games don't age, even if they're old. They're good or bad from the start and don't change.
Some are just more played than others for different reasons, the most prevalent being that people don't want to go out of their comfort zone. Case in point: the US dickriding SF, MK and Smash.
Like many games of that time, people wrote down WH as a cheap SF ripoff, which is unfortunate. Game is quite fun, even with the broken stuff. It has some proto-airdasher mechanics.

Why was Playstation too weak to handle Duke Nukem 3D?
>>3340870
Why was Playstation the only accurate port of Duke Nukem 3D?
>>3340870
On consoles the CPU is typically weaker, compared to PCs of the same era. Reason being that they use dedicated graphics hardware, to offload a fair amount of the work. Also makes them quite a bit cheaper.
Duke Nukem 3D does not use polygons, or sprites, or tiles. As such, the dedicated graphics hardware on the PS could not be used.
With the major advantage of the console out of the picture, the comparably weaker CPU caused the difference.
The N64 game is not a port but uses polygonal graphics instead,...

That just means it has an unlocked framerate. In practice, it never goes up that high unless you are walking into a wall.
Hey dudes, wanted to know if any Genesis/Mega Drive 'thusiasts can help me, as I've had some issues with my Euro Model II.
The controller keeps disconnecting on its own. Sometimes only half the pads buttons stop working, sometimes only up and right on the dpad seem to work and I have to wiggle the input to get it working normally again, which often results in the game crashing. It's an official six button pad I bought on ebay which has apparently been refurbished and tested. It's in good condition and there's no damage to the cable or on the pins...

Have you tried using another pad?
>>3340662
It's either a contract that's dirty, a wire that's pinched or a solder joint that's cracked. Start by cleaning the black contact points inside the controller
Which version of 幻影都市 (Illusion City) should I play? MSX or MegaCD?
I mean in Japanese, so no need to care for the translation.
PC98
>>3340689
Why?
>>3340661
MSX has no English translation,only up to disk 6.
I think it has Portuguese or Spanish im not sure.
Also the other anon recommends PC98 because the gameplay is smoother and the music is better.

So this was definitely one of my top 3 favorite PC games. Anyone ever play the Sudden Strike series? Specifically Sudden Strike, Sudden Strike Forever, or even Sudden Strike 2 (the other random expansions between I will count as well).
In my opinion Forever was the best, but SS II brought amazing new features such as being able to capture enemy vehicles, the pacific, etc...
I'll go even farther out on a limb, anyone remember the mission from Sudden Strike (Forever I think) "Conquer"? You are the Germans assigned to take back a town in the Northeast....

>>3340353
its artilerry wins the war the game, I love it and still play it sometimes even though I never got gud, but I tried many tactics.
I liked to do niche things like sticking 4 machineguner in one jeep and then driving around enemy lines and killing gun crews.
leveling supply trucks by refueling each other
leveling the entire maps with katyushas or artillery.
having squad of one non shoting commander and several snipers clearing anything thatwasnt tanks

Why did they put the D-pad on the left side? Most people are right-handed, so the more important controls should be on the right.
Because it was successful on the Donkey Kong Game and Watch
