Sonic 3/Michael Jackson rumors confirmed
http://testkitchen.huffingtonpost.com/michaeljacksonsonic/
I'm sure there are less shitty clickbait versions of this article floating around, but I'll give you the high points:
apparently huffpo believes that "hardcore sonic fans" call themselves "Blues" which I have never heard before and sounds absurd.
Brad Buxer, Doug Grigsby III, and Cirocco Jones are 3 of the 6 men credited with writing sonic 3's music and confirm MJ's involvement.
Buxer is a longtime collaborator with MJ as well.
Sega still denies and refuses to comment.
This isn't really news to anyone familiar with sonic music, but the confirmation of the rumors, rather than the speculation of some autistic sonic fans on youtube is nice.
>>2945181
So, anything new that wasn't mentioned here 2 years ago?

>>2945228
lol this rumor has been a thing for over a decade, it only got sorta officially confirmed when MJ died
>>2945181
This was all confirmed before youtube even existed sonny.
I know Nintendo fanboys are gonna rush in to say "all of them kek," But I’m looking for THE WORST Genesis/Mega Drive games. Not Sonic 3D blast circlejerk I’m talking absolutely horrible like Dark Castle and X-Perts.
Fucking X-Perts, not only was Eternal Champions wasted as a franchise but this game was so clunky and unresponsive. NO MUSIC, permadeath, shittiest combat system, and a game in 1996, you'd think they know how to make a game on genesis by then.
>>2941829
>speaking of Eternal Champions franchise..
>>2941865
Look at that forehead jesus fucking christ
I put this up for another site but figured you folks would appreciate it.

Quake 3 is a wonderful online shooter with no major flaws. it was designed for multiplayer and is the only 90's decently populated online shooter i care about (via quake live)
>>2943217
they already confirmed they will be releasing a map editor for all platforms with the possibility of creating your own modes, adding game logic to entities, and playing the maps in multiplayer.
>>2943230
saw RetroAhoy: Doom yesterday night. Its great. sometimes i wonder why this kind of stuff isn't seen in TV.
TV is a dying media anyway, just like CDs and DVDs
Help me /vr/ I can't think of the name of a game I used to play as a kid on my bros Nintendo 64, I used to find it really difficult but I think that I might be able to beat it now, all I know is:
>play as a kid with a green hat
>start in some forest
>one of the first levels is inside a big tree
>its on Nintendo 64
Holy Magic Century?
>>2945672
Mischief makers obviously, maybe mystical ninja goemon. God you couldn't have used google?
Super Nintendo thread.
Genesis fanboys can kindly function within a thread of your own.
SNES DROOLS.
GENESIS ROOLS

Then again with the recent /v/ raid on us I'm not surprised.
ITT: The first Dune game. Not the RTS released as Dune 2, but the first adventure/strategy hybrid made by Cryo interactive.
Does anyone else just love the shit out of this game? It's so unique and fun, and the CD soundtrack is one of the best albums of any genre imo.
Really hoping to find other Anons who /dune/.
this thread appeared before /vr/ was ready for it
it appeared before it was supposed to
this game / port ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3NcFEvc4yk&t=9900
>>2943965
Yes, that's the game! It was also on SegaCD but the DOS version is more common.
The officially arranged soundtrack to this game is mind blowing. Look on torrents or khinsider for Dune: Spice Opera, credited to Stephane Picq or Exxos.
>>2943870
Oh shit I love me some Dune by Cryo
Be honest, have you ever used this move?
>>2940879
it's crouching and pressing B by the way
>>2940883
Is that a full press of B or a half-press of B?
>>2940886
technically half, the first half
Why is this game the least-good DK game? I'm not saying it's bad, but compared to the original trilogy this game just feels like they took Banjo-Kazooie and gave it a Donkey Kong paintjob. It's by far my least favorite of the Donkey Kong Country series.
What are your thoughts on DK64?
>>2940732
I haven't played it, but is it seriously worse than that mediocrity that is DKC1?
It's good
>>2940732
It's fucking GREAT as a toy, but kind of a shit game.
Multiplayer was legendary.
Why don't we talk about the Colecovision on here? I see the occasional Atari thread, but nothing on this system. What are some good games you played?
>>2940535
I downloaded and wrote a shellscript to autoload Pepper II because Pepper II is fucking sick
It was the console of my early childhood.
Some games I remember playing on it are DK, DK Jr, LadyBug, Smurf, Galaga
As an adult I emulated the 2010 video game (based on the movie/book), it's a weird but interesting puzzle game where you need to fix the ship's computer PCBs.
>>2940538
how quirky lol xd
ITT: Fun games that are solely boss rushes
Games made by Treasure: the thread.
Alien Soldier, Contra Hard Corps
Shadow of the Colossus
Hey, anons. Are there girls here in /vr/? If yes, do you have a Loopy?
>>2942675
That's like asking if the males here have an Apple Pippin, probably fucking not.
>>2942675
Sadly I am not a little girl. However, I fucking love STICKERS!
>>2942675
You could make a lot of good reaction images with this machine.

We mention which game we played last/are playing and a little review.
Just for the fuck if it, I'll do it as a haiku:
>exactly like Castlevania
>ripoff with stick and eagle
>does not make it bad
>>2936780
Oh, the game is 8 Eyes.
>>2936780
8 Eyes plays quite different to Castlevania though.
On topic, i just 1cc'd Kozure Okami from Nichibutsu, it's an early beat 'em up with pretty simple mechanics based on the "Lone Wolf and Cub" Manga. Can gets quite difficult at times, but it's worth trying out since it's easy to pick up and understand the mechanics.
Oh also, the PCB is rare as hell.
The Terminator - Sega CD
Hot DAMN! I keep getting surprised with this game. I went in expecting a generic run n gun like many of the other Terminator games. Fuck no, this game actually expects you to fight smart. Make good use of your grenades, and don't use them on t-800's. The T-101's can insta-kill you by running you over. Duck often.
THE SOUND! I swear to god some of the level BGM sounds like some Joe Satriani style rock. This might be my new favorite OST to a video game, holy shit.
The game actually seems to follow the plot of the first terminator movie pretty well too, I just beat the 3rd level(I think?) and I fought against some teleporting asshole then stepped into the portal, and now I have a shotgun and a trenchcoat. This shit is pretty damn good, and I'm having a blast with it. 10/10 music, 8/10 gameplay, 7/10 graphics, This is some solid stuff.
8/10 game, 10/10 GOAT Terminator game, will be the best Terminator game until someone does a proper remake of the PC game.
How do you feel about people who collect retro games for the sake of collecting, rather than playing?
>Pic unrelated
As long as they enjoy it who cares
Good for them?
If I had that sakura GBC I wouldnt want to wear it down by using it either.

Is it overrated? Or is the JRPG masterpiece gamers make it out to be?
And don't get butt-hurt. I actually like this game, and played it as a kid back when it came out. But the game often gets praised as one of the best, if not the best, RPGs ever made.
I did several polls here on 4chan asking users what the best Super NES games are. Chrono Trigger won EVERY poll! (Beating out games like Super Metroid and A Link to the Past even.)
Damn. I think the game is alright. It has neat characters, cool time-traveling, and dual tech moves that make battles kinda interesting. But Super Mario RPG has timed-attacks, Breath of Fire III has a masters system, and Final Fantasy 6 is just as good. Yet, none of these games top their respected polls like Chrono Trigger always does.
Why?
What makes Chrono Trigger so special?
(I'm writing an article on the history of video games for a website.)
People just like short rpgs
It's good but honestly not even the best 16 bit RPG.
It's definitely the best looking and best sounding jrpg I've ever played. However, I personally prefer ffvi and earthbound, for reasons that I can't really explain.
