Anybody play this game?
The gameplay was pretty crappy, the story wasn't anything special
but MAN those graphics were beautiful, especially for '92
Dumping some death screens
Oh don't mind me, just being the being the best Mario game.

>>3279260
Not even as good as Super Mario Land 1, nice try though.
>>3279260
It's perhaps the most unique, but certainly not the best.
>>3279268
SML1 better than 2?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but that's one I cannot understand.
I've played through 2 many more times than 1, both are good games but 2 feels more fun and doesn't just feel like they tried to stick to the basic SMB format in portable form.

This fucking game disappointed me. discuss.
>>3279064
The visuals made it feel way better back in the day but I get what your saying. I like the first two stages and that's about it. The sequel isn't much better if I remember right.
That would be a perfect mod idea, op.

>This fucking game disappointed me. discuss.
Got bored with your greentext mid way through so don't know what you're bitching about, but I always liked that game. Anyways this is a good case of why I recommend trying a game emulated before buying it if you're not sure.
What are /vr/ thoughts on Vandal Hearts ?
I hate it, it ruined my childhood and caused my parents to divorce.
>>3278930
Good game with nice spritework, but jesus christ the delays between animations and the time it took the enemy to resolve its turn made the game long as fuck. Even with guaranteed counterattacks.
>>3278930
I wish i hadn't traded it for suikoden.
Anyone remember this gem?
>>3278898
Go away summer
>>3278898
Nope, never heard of it. What's it called?
>>3278898
Did you know SMB3 was a reskin of a taiwanese game called Donkey Kong picnic
Anybody remember this gem?
>>3278425

Take your obscure hipster "le hidden gem" elsewhere, OP.

What's the most you would spend on a retro game and what is the most you actually have spent?
Frep free to make fun of collectorfags in here
$0 and $40~ on sotn like 14 years ago
emulate, retard
>>3277850
$20-30 if it's a must-have "I've wanted to own it since I was a child" game. $5 if it's a random find.
>>3277854
Yea 40 if its for nostalgia
Otherwise 30
What consoles there that can not connect to the Internet in any way?
totally free internet consoles, and all come complete games (without any DLC or pay to win)
there is only local multiplayer (from a single console)
and without internet Peripheral
>>3277791
NES
Game Gear
TG-16
Lynx
Jaguar
Atari 7800
Gameboy
Nintendo 64
Neo Geo
Neo Geo CD
Neo Geo Pocket/Color
Surprising how many systems COULD connect online.
>>3277796
Pretty sure the Game Boy had some kind of modem, I remember reading japanese had a mail service that worked on GB back in the late 90s.
I think N64 also had some kind of online connectivity with the DD? not sure.
Famicom had a modem too.
>>3277796
>Gameboy
you could email people with gameboy.
I think that disqualifies it.
Both of them are pretty based. But which one is more based and why?
This is not a console war thread. This is a thread for thoughtful and mature intellectual discussion.
>>3277648
Not going to get much mature intellectual discussion out of nintoddler casuals
>>3277648
Both are leagues above Sony or Microsoft in terms of first-party videogames.
As a big Sega fan-
Arcade Sega > Arcade Nintendo
Master System < NES
Genesis<SNES
Saturn > N64
DC >Gamecube
What do you guys think of Wii64?
>>3276813
its shite
what do you think about it OP?
>>3276840
Makes me feel like the wii still had so much untapped potential :,(
Are there any J/RPGs with a continuous story?
Rance has an ongoing story since 1989.
>>3276551
Isn't that more of a VN though?
I've heard Trails has a continuous story but its not really /vr/
the Ys series
I recently bought a Game Boy Color with a frontlight mod, but it is blurry. Anyone knows a way to fix it?
>>3276372
Buy an SP.
Not going to buy an SP. I really like the design of Color.
>>3276384
Frontlight is always going to look a little blurry, and you can't backlight it.
Is it worth getting a 32x?
not really no. all the interesting games are expensive as fuck
>>3276252
I can't think of any exclusives, pretty much the entire library has superior versions for cheaper consoles. If you can get it for cheap maybe, the genesis Flashcarts are compatible with it. Mortal Kombat 3 is good on it, if you don't have a 360 or even the most rudimentary pc it is an option.
>>3276262
Luckily a Genesis flashcart works with 32x games.
I'm looking to play more of these early scoring-centric single screen action games for NES/Famicom. Games like:
>Wrecking Crew
>Clu Clu Land
>Ice Climber
>Nuts & Milk
>Binary Land
>Devil World
What are some others? Original games, not ports of actual arcade games.
>>3275609
Wrecking Crew is one of my favorite games in the NES library. You should add Balloon Fight to your list, most of the game is score-centric and takes place on a single screen as well.
Balloon Fight, Urban Champion, Hogans Alley, Kid Icarus maybe?
I know there aren't all that many that fit your description
>>3275629
Hell yeah Balloon Fight. You know people are going to argue Kid Icarus because its not on a single screen, but fuck them. Also Elevator Action.
