Can I get some good recommendations for NES games made by American or Euro/British devs? I was thinking about it and most of my favorite NES games were done by Japanese studios, and I'd like some suggestions for games worth playing. Not necessarily masterpieces, just stuff that isn't crap.
Pic related, I enjoyed Treasure Master.
Just don't mind the bad box art.

Startropics, it's NoA-exclusive game.
>>3326119
post the good cover then
better than World in every way
it's definitely more complete. mario world has better controls, camera and more diverse level gimmicks though

Hey /vr/! What are some games that never made it to the United States that are worth emulating? I've been playing the first Fire Emblem, Mr. Gimmick and Panel De Pon lately and they're all really good!
>>3325903
A large chunk of the sega master system catalog
I never finished it, but Marvelous: Another Treasure Island seems pretty cool so far.
It's what Aonuma worked on before he joined the Zelda team.
Your thoughts on the Namco Museum series?
>>3325895
Delicious blonde girl comes to mind..
there was something so comfy and kinda psychedelic about the museum. the emptiness, the music, the '95 playstation graphics. i fuckin love it. really the games were more of an afterthought, as a kid i'd spend most of my time just wandering around and taking it in

Might be a really stupid question, but it appears I just kinda suck at retro games. I love them a ton, but I'll be fucked if I could ever beat one. Do some people just have a gift to be awesome at games, or is it all just practice?
pic very related.
I sucked at NES Contra and had never beaten it. I started playing it and got to where I could clear it (no code). I hadn't played it for a while, tried to play it again, and sucked. If I picked it up today and put in a bit of time to get back comfortable with it, I am sure I could beat it easily.
Similar story with arcade Makaimura and FC Batman: couldn't beat them, kept playing and playing and playing, then I could beat them. While of course natural reaction time plays a part, if you really want to beat a game, play it enough and you eventually will clear it. I don't mean play it for a couple days, stop, then try again a month later. Just dedicate all of or most of your gaming time to it for a significant period of time and I am sure you can do it.
Practice, patience, perseverance, getting the fuck gud.

practice
people don't become good at something just sitting on their asses (unless they're trying to get good at video games)
corruptions in games. post screenshots of your corruptions in any game
>>3325684
Corruptions??
>>3325684
>nobody replied to this thread
why
>>3328349
You need to be more specific.
I have to say it: Ocarina of Time sucked huge hairy ball sacks. What a huge waste of time and money!
People even say it's graphics were great, but they were fucking terrible, and yes, I'm comparing it to N64 games.
It didn't get enjoyable until getting the Mirror shield, and by then you're almost done with it.
And before anyone says "hurr guess Zelda games jus rnt ur thing, go back to COD u pleb", I've never even played games past gamecube era and some of my favorite games are Zelda games.
So what the fuck? Why does this game get...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Alright
Also, when I say the graphics were terrible, let me give comparisons:
Paper Mario had timeless graphics and did something unique.
The bomberman games looked great with their way of perspective and use of charm, especially "the second attack".
Just about every Rare game had fucking fantastic graphics for their time.
Even fucking Mario 64 used the TV blur to it's advantage for objects which used sprites, giving a depth illusion while saving memory and making it look better than it would with polygons.
Ocarina of Time doesn't do shit, and people...

>No they fucking weren't. Majora's Mask on the other hand though does have good graphics.
Those two games look nearly identical to me from a graphical standpoint
Post and discuss great retro strategy games
Also whats the best version of this? Played it on the SNES and absolutely loved it but Im rebuilding my Genesis collection and am wondering how it holds up compared to the SNES version.
Genesis has extra levels, but whatever you do stay the fuck away from GBA.
>>3325478
TLV is not even remotely a strategy game.
as far as the best version, SNES has slightly better graphics and music, but the Genesis has five exclusive levels so I'd pick that version. but make sure you have a good 6 button controller as it's a headache playing without it.
>>3325494
Really you wouldnt consider it strategy? It requires making the most out of your vikings and using them just right. I am kinda torn on what genera it could even be placed it. I wouldnt really consider it a platformer.
What if Zool could izuna drop?
>>3325354
Zool?
>THERE IS NO DANA. ONLY ZOOL
I remember when this game came out. It got a lot of coverage in Amiga magazines. This was back when "mascot platformers" were all the rage. I never actually played it, so dunno if it's any good, but there was a sequel.
So I have a question, /vr/. My mom kept all the boxes and manuals for my old video games, but she threw out the white cardboard inserts so that they would take up less room.
Now recently I lost my job and I need money, so I'm thinking of selling them off. Can I sell these games without the cardboard inserts as CIB?
Probably.
>>3325284
>Can i sell incomplete items as complete in box?
What the fuck do you think?
>>3325320
Then what would I sell it as?

What's the easiest way to break in a dpad? I was thinking about getting a new DS3 to use with emulators but fresh dpads are the worst.
>break in a dpad
>ds3
Getting real tired of these bait threads.
>>3325058
>new DS3
Don't. Get a DS2 or DS1 at worst (DS1 has got better sticks but a more painful dpad). Sixaxis and early DS3s are also okay, but new DS3s are a no no.
Here is a fuckin ZANY idea op, why not play some games?
Just play some games
Play the fucking game
Could you guys make the jump?
You could just walk over it! What were they thinking??
>>3324857
Of course, I had a Nintendo Power subscription.
WHAT A FUCKLOAD OF SHIT. I'D RATHER DRINK BUFFALO DIARRHEA OUT OF A DEAD SKUNKS ASSHOLE THAN PLAY THIS GAME
why
when something smells
it's usually the Butz

Are you asking why Amano draws everyone looking andro or why they would re-do his art?
Anyone own a chink SNES EverDrive?
I'm a Canadacuck and it would cost me twice as many syrup tokens to buy the real thing after exchange and shipping.
Does anyone know if the China Version has the DSP1 chip in it?
Collectorcuck here.
For me its like
>might as well emulate
at that point.
but I collect for super famicom / sega genesis / gameboy so it's like the absolute most i'm paying for a game is 20 bucks. for some goodshit too.
i'd say just go for it
>>3324696
>For me its like
>>might as well emulate
The whole point is that it's not emulation.
