holy crap this game's freaking cool. Definitely the arcade action I've been craving since star fox zero didn't deliver.
What are your thoughts on the game, anons? Any tips on when to use the lock-on reticle if at all?
>>3200071
Great game. Too bad salty Segafags will try to hide up the fact that N64 got some kick ass Treasure games.
>>3200071
>Any tips on when to use the lock-on reticle if at all?
When you have a moving target and you need to focus on evading it's better to use the lock-on.
>>3200073
Fucking uncalled for, man. I never seen anybody shit on this game. It's one of the few Treasure games, along with maybe Alien Soldier that doesn't have haters (apart from the anti-Treasure guys who claim to hate every game they made, but I doubt they actually played the games).
It's just a fucking good game, fuck console wars.
>>3200071
Never played it, but I want to. Easy to emulate?
>>3200073
What are you talking about? Who shits on this game? Dont think Segafags care.
>>3200092
OP here. Not sure. I purchased it off the wii u's eshop. Seemed like a safe bet.
>>3200071
Ever play Mischief Makers?
>>3200126
Not yet. 64's here I just gotta get the game or an everdrive.
>>3200073
>>3200083
>>3200098
unfortunately he's right, Sega-fanboys go into full N64 shitpost mode half the time they are here.
That said starting off the thread with "TOO BAD SEGAFAGS X" is absolutely retarded and further encourages shitposting.
Don't want shitposting? Then don't act like the first reply.
>>3200139
Blaming only Sega fanboys is unfair, you don't have any proof.
It could also be Sony fanboys, PC fanboys, shitposters from /v/, etc.
Let's just say there's always shitposters around.
That said, being a closed fanboy of one company is bad.
>>3200073
DC also got Bangai-O, arguably the superior version.
>>3200152
It's superior technically due to DC being obviously more powerful, but if you're a fan of the game you want to play both versions. N64 one is harder.
>>3200147
I suppose you're right in the very end, as anyone can easily false flag on an anonymous message board and lately this board has been particularly bad and the threads are always recycled as well.
>ITT: OVERRATED GAMES thread filled with Metal Gear Solid, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario 64, etc.
>why do people unironically like this piece of shit?
>IKARUGA? MORE LIKE SHITKARUGA?
>and on and on and on.
>B-BUT GBA IS RETRO, PS2 TOO!!!
/vr/ sucks. But hey, at least Treasure is the tits.
Played it on Wii VC with a GameCube controller and I broke my index finger.
It was fun.
>>3200139
yeah, its weird but for some reason N64 is like the whipping boy of this board
>>3200158
Ikaruga IS shit, though.
>>3200176
It's funny how you "ikaruga is shit" fags never actually go into detail about what you dislike.
Just shut up. The game is great and you aren't cool for disliking it you special snowflake faggot.

>>3200139
I've never seen an overt Sega fan shit on the n64 Treasure games.
Whatever argument you saw or had in another thread is not the norm here, or at least in my experience.
You could probably call me a Sega fanboy, I'm not really a fan of the n64 as a system, but it did have some kick as games and doubly so when it came to Treasure.
>>3200227
False flags man. It's a staple of recent /v/ culture.
Think of all the "D-DELETE THIS!!!!!" posts where they are clearly false flagging because no real fan would make that post. Here, they're just a bit stealthier about it.
>>3200139
Nobody needs to shit on the N64, the N64 already shits on itself by being objectively the worst of the three big fifth gen systems.
>>3200189
Bad scoring system, bad polarity gimmick, too many ugly brown backgrounds, and a lazy final stage aren't enough reasons to dislike Ikaruga?
>>3200071
If you're looking the N64 version definitely give the Wii sequel a try.
It's fucking criminal that the game sold so poorly.
>>3200235
They were all fucking flawed.
The Saturn was rushed to the market too soon and couldn't do 3D well unless you were an absolute wizard, the PS1 had lousy load times and cheap controllers and the n64 had no CD drive or draw distance.
Fifth gen had some of the best games on some of the lousiest systems of the console generations.
I just wanted to talk about video games
>>3200257
>le load times meme
This needs to die.
>>3200257
Yes, all the consoles sucked, but N64 sucked the hardest. You have to be a pretty huge Nintendo fan to like the N64's library. It had terrible third-party support, since everyone fled to PSX, and in Japan, the Saturn.
>>3200263
>butthurt ps fan
It's true bud. Doesn't mean it was a bad console.
At any rate, I loved all those consoles. They were really flawed though.
>>3200243
Too bad, but releasing it late on a system gamers had dismissed as a grandma bowling and shovelware system will do that to you.
Should have made it multiplat, released it on xbox arcade and PSN where the market arguably was.
>>3200261
I'll talk games with you bro
>>3200264
You're utterly and abjectly outside your element (/v/) and your opinion is uneducated memeshit. So you can stop trying so hard now, we can all see how badly you want to fit in here.
>>3200324
Stop being so butthurt that N64 flopped hard everywhere, mate.
>>3200340
>Nintendo's worst year since before the NES was when N64 was launched
Way to prove his point, dipshit.
>>3200338
Quality has nothing to do with sales. Stop being so butthurt people disagree with you and develop a real opinion instead of repeating the same consolewar shite the preteens on /v/ live and die for.
>>3200340
Man, the Gamecube had a really good launch. What made people wanna buy that thing? Smash Melee?
>>3200348
>wahhh wahh wahhhh stop having different opinions from me wahhh wahhh wahhhh
It's ok little guy, everything's gonna be alright.
>>3200345
You're an idiot. To say it "flopped" is absolutely retarded. And so are you.
The Virtual Boy flopped. The N64 did not. Go kill yourself.
>>3200359
You first.
>>3200356
>You're an idiot. To say it "flopped" is absolutely retarded. And so are you.
It flopped compared to PSX and (in Japan) Saturn, you gigantic bumbling maroon.
>>3200353
I love the genre and have played just about everything, anon. Do you actually have any shred of evidence for what you're insinuating? No, you don't.
I'm just saying its absolutely pathetic how reactionary you guys are. If the mainstream gaming media shat on Ikaruga you fucks would be praising it. And by the way, I didn't exactly call it a perfect game either. Take your hyperbole and shove it up your ass. You fucks do not know what "shit" even fucking is, that's how liberal you are with the word.
>Fuck off to Reddit
Rich. Bringing reddit into this like everyone you disagree with goes there. Protip: I don't.
>>3200365
>It flopped...COMPARED TO X
How can I too lose enough braincells to make this sort of jump in logic a reality? If you look again at the numbers its still much more than "modest success".
I swear you people are absolutely insufferable.
>>3200365
the n64 and the saturn sold similarly in Japan, both over 5 million units, Saturn sold a bit more.
Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Pokemon Snap and a few other games were million sellers in Japan. Iirc the only Saturn million seller in Japan was Virtua Fighter 2.
I like both Sega and Nintendo and wish we could discuss Sin and Punishment without cringy console war stuff
>>3200373
Blame the hipster treasure fags. They're far worse.
>>3200361
lol whats it like not being able to carry an argument without acting like a child and resorting to literal memes
jesus christ this place has become a cancer. /v/ ruins everything
>>3200365
>that level of grasping at straws
Holy shit anon
>>3200071
top 5 N64 games, such a gorgeous and fun game. The graphics are damn impressive for a game not using the expansion pack.
I'm a sega fan and I really love this game. I played it back in HS on the VC back in 09. It's the game that got me into treasure but Ikaruga is still overrated. One of the few games on the 64 worth playing!
GET BONUS!
>>3200373
In fairness, the Saturn was prematurely killed off (even in Japan) while the N64 wasn't.
>>3200368
>You fucks do not know what "shit" even fucking is
Pic related.
>/vr/ is pretty cool these days
>>3200420
>muh hyperbole
Like clockwork. I actually feel bad for you.
>>3200264
Even the best third party N64 games are Japanese or in the case of wrestling developed by Japanese. RE2, Ogre Battle 64, all those AKI wrestling games, Harvest Moon 64, Sin & Punishment, Bomberman 64, Hybrid Heaven.
>>3200431
>Treasurefags in charge of taking criticism
Keep those reaction images coming.
>>3200437
How is saying something is "shit" acceptable criticism? It isn't, anon.
I've ignored it for years after going through my teenage phase and growing out of it, but you chaps have held onto hyperbole like a 4 year old refusing to give up his pacifier. It's pathetic.
>>3200071
my favourite N64 game.
>shmupfags and console warriors derail a decent thread
What went wrong?
>>3200270
Even though its made by Treasure I'm pretty sure Nintendo owns the IP, so that was always out of the question
>>3200769
Pretty much. Same reason we'll NEVER EVER get a Mischief Makers sequel because Enix still owns and forgot about the IP. That, and Treasure going out of business...
>>3200772
I'm not really sad about that to be honest.
They've done nothing but like, Gaia Crusher, for the past few years. They're not the same company anymore.
>>3200779
Yeah, but they're not even gonna bother porting their Xbox 360 games to PC... it's kinda sad.
I'd really like some Guardian Heroes netplay.
Still trying to git gud at hard mode so I can beat it and unlock the frameskip mode.
What control scheme works better for you?
>>3200682
shmups were a mistake
>>3200071
Awesome soundtrack.
Raid Blue is GOAT.
>>3201197
Anyone else always hold both the left and the right handles?
sega fag here.
I played this a few years back and enjoyed it.
So today you vermin inspired me to go and buy sin&pun ss for the wii.
Thank you.
>>3202620
>sega fag
That's not a thing anymore, anon.
>>3200071
>>>3200682
>shmups were a mistake
Haha, eat a dick you autistic jrpg playing fggt
Sorry you lack Hand-Eye/motor skills to be gud.
>>3202628
Fan boys can still smell the dominos and that dank musk that was block buster.
So I "beat" the game and I've gotta say
I don't understand the story very well
and I thought eva was confusing
Great game, easily worth owning an n64 for, though the VC version is solid also. 2 was a blast but I dropped it on the final level and know I couldn't just jump back in. Maybe I'll replay it over the summer.
>>3200147
Did someone finally scan the SP guidebook? I've been scrounging for scans for years.
>>3200147
Arcade is the true master race. Fuck your pleb console and computer garbage.
I played this game recently and it blew my mind several times.
In one of the later levels, I think either the train one, or the level you're inside a school before the final level, there's a sort of boss or mini-boss that basically turns the game into a falling blocks puzzle game, you have to aim for specific parts that explode and make other blocks fall over, all while still using the same controls, it's crazy.
Then the last level turns into a side-scrolling run n' gun game.
the game is fucking great
the story makes no sense, the animations are muddy, and theres a talking fucking dog from digimon or some shit
but WHO CARES, its fucking great
>>3206485
I expected by game to be completely overrated, in "guys this is a real japanese N64 hidden gem", but it blew me away.
10/10 and not overrated at all.
>>3200071
Is that sin and punishment?
>>3202620
Fantastic game, extremely disappointed Star Fox Zero/kid Icarus didn't take the control scheme.
>>3209412
the n64 game didnt have the easiest controls ever in any way, do you mean the wiimote + nunchuk of the sequel?
>>3209660
Yea.
>>3208419
Look at the fucking image, it clearly says "chingidy Cong ping pong"
>>3200071
cool game
