/vr/ - Retro Games

Imo it's second best to Wii and superior to Wii in a lot of ways. Its strengths are
-some of the best tracks in the series DK Mountain, GC Bowser's castle, Wario stadium, Mario circuit, daisy cruiser, the list goes on.
-best battle mode and incredibly fun multiplayer. Especially if you link systems up.
great OST

Weaknesses are
- unfortunately due to the following games having retro tracks track selection feels small.
- controls take getting used to especially if you're fresh off new Mario Karts.
- some people just wanted a normal Mario Kart without the gimmick

>>10923216
For what it's worth I actually find 8 Deluxe a lot more frantic and chaotic than most of the old ones, there are items flying fucking everywhere and in my experience people end up all clumped together way more often than the old ones, where a few people would end up way ahead of the rest of the group.

Customizing stats never should have been added to the series though. Mario Kart just aint the place for that and everyone I know in real life dislikes bothering with it, they want to pick a character and a car and go.

>>10923158
Honestly this is my favorite Mario Kart, still haven't played the others much though

1. People hated Gamecube entries for "being different"
2. Non shortcuts
3. Character specific items
That's what I can assume, I had fun with it

>>10923158
Every kart feels like you're driving on ice and the 2 person on 1 kart mechanic is pointless

go volunteer in your community instead of posting this image over and over.

>>10923204
thats a lie

This level is ass, especially the crushers, because their timing depends on when they appear on the screen rather than being pre-set, which lead to it being more difficult than it should depending on how the player approaches the area (this isn't the only trap in the game that is objectively badly designed) when there are several in a row.

You can jump on them though.

>>10923113
Starts easy but gets harder on the last stages. I'd say games like Belmont's Revenge are easier though.

Rondo is easier.

>>10923204
No way.

Also this. Such an underrated game. The way it looked like a simple game for children ruined its possible success, but it’s actually something close to Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (directed by one of Moon’s directors) and Majora’s Mask sidequest parts.

>>10923037
Rogue Squadron 2
I played the demo at Walmart at the kiosk near the video games where you had to break your neck to look at the TV before the GameCube came out.

It can not be understated how fucking incredible looking and feeling this game was in 2001. I didn’t understand “bump mapping” or “60 fps” back then, but that’s immediately what I was impressed by. It looked just like the Special Edition CGI and was buttery smooth. It felt like “the future”.
This is the game that made me want a GameCube and it remained, in my opinion, the most technically impressive and fun game for its lifespan.
This game STILL looks amazing.

GameCube is an odd beast because I’d say a majority of its most technically impressive games came out closer to its launch than its end.

Finally, it’s there with one of the best Star Wars games ever made.

as far as video signals go, NTSC is NTSC the country marker is more a signifier of region locking. for emulation it makes no difference, only non-modded hardware.

>>10923027
>Is there any big difference between NTSC-U and NTSC-J
One of them is slightly darker than the other and I can't remember which. You probably shouldn't use the same exact shader for both.

>>10923070
I forgot to mention that i meant the colors
>>10923150
Thanks.

>>10923027
I remember this one game for either the ps1 or ps2 not working unless I used a jp bios.

Through this box of dreams I achieved tremendous and sustained sexual release via the game Mischief Makers, in which the sound of Marina's pain fx made me hard for reasons that I still cannot explain.
Anyway, I am mentally ill.

>>10923020
No shame in this. Marina has a sexy voice.

>>10923020
My honest reaction.

>>10922998
Me too brother, I'm playing aidyn chronicles right now and it's good, I don't know what everyone's problem is. id literally take it over some of the shit that's on Saturn like Albert odyssey or dark saviour.

>>10923493
I like Dark Savior, it was something different again but not as good as Landstalker.
Albert Odyssey however is pure garbage indeed.

>>10922962
I imagine the high school students they paid to program this game over summer break didn't cost that much.

He's gonna ____ you back to the ____.

I love how burgers had to eat so much shit. Consumerism is cancer

Wow, thanks for the review

>>10923832
No one will ever care about the ZX Spectrum, Australia-kun.

What did they mean by this?

>undisputed best 2D Zelda games.
Really? I never bothered to play them. LA is my favourite 2d Zelda.

>>10923837
Call me a motherfucker with bad media literacy, because I wholeheartedly agree with this nigga's post, betraying his sarcastic intentions

>>10924010
Zelda after Zelda after Zelda after Zelda...
Nintendo is so fucking repetitive.

>>10924151
There's also Mario after Mario after Mario. They market to autists who want to buy the same thing over and over again and they make a good profit doing it, why change now?

>>10922967
Let me repeat, do you want one?

>>10922927
Op here, Correct.

The analog numbs are the main giveaway visually. But if you had the controller in your hands you could also feel that the L1/L2/R1/R2 buttons are lose. I already had them pop out in a fighting game, had to quick pop them back in.

>>10922835
theyre all real. they all say sony on them. they wouldnt otherwise

>>10922835
Nothing fake about your post OP. 100% genuine reddit.

Nope, it's a rev1 ALPS DS2. One with the resistor on the flex connector.

>>10922773
>Earthbound
I grew up playing smash 64 and then melee and I wanted to know who Ness was. Once I knew what emulaiton was EB was one of the first games I tried.

>Mother 3
I just think it's more fun than the other games. The story focus and linearity means it should be the least replayable, but it's the one I've played through the most by far.

>Ninten
I don't really know why, it's weird because EB0 isn't my favorite game in the series but he's the protag I like the most, probably my favorite character overall.

>Moonside
The whole place is just fucking cool. Mushroom Drugtrip Island from 3 is a close contender, Summers kinda did the same thing but the hallucinations didn't feel anywhere near as personal as the ones from the drugtrip from 3 did.

>Pollyanna, EB0 version
Song is just wonderful. Exploring the giant overworld is fucking great once you adapt to the frankly overwhelming freedom. That song just makes me happy. I associate it with specific gameplay memories more than I do with the other songs, maybe that's why I like it. I remember getting literally lost exploring the rivers north of podunk because I took the wrong northern path when I was trying to go back to Ninten's house, I made it all the way to the shore and the music swelled while my character looked out over the sea and I just imagined the scene...it was just kind of a magic moment. That song just fit with the opening of 0 really well, it feels so happy but also freeing and that just works with that whole area so perfectly.

You know, everything I just said about that song is probably why Ninten is my favorite character. I associate him with all of that.

Also, I'll never get used to calling it Earthbound Beginnings. I always call it Earthbound Zero without thinking.

I hope there's never a fourth game, it's a tidy little trilogy and it's complete. It's perfectly fine as is.

I played Earthbound as a kid but got filtered by Threed. Couldn't figure out where I was supposed to go and kept getting rekt by the obnoxious Zombie status effect or whatever the hell it was.

>>10923016
Same.

>>10922773
Haven’t played the third game but
>Earthbound 0
The ability to walk to pretty much every location without any interruptions really heightens the feeling of adventure, and there are very few things the game forces you to do other than collect the melodies unlike Earthbound. (Not separating the towns from the overworld like dragon quest really adds to this feeling, though Earthbound does that too). The combat is also a little more interesting in this game compared to Earthbound.
>Porky
I could list a lot of minor characters in both games that I like, but Porky is the perfect antagonist for a game that stars a preteen.
>Magicant
I remember being really surprised when I activated the cutscene that teleports you there for the first time. All of the inhabitants have memorable dialogue and the look of Magicant itself is really distinct from the mostly green and brown real world. It’s also one of the few places in the first game that isn’t accessible by foot. The Earthbound version is pretty cool too.
>Fourside
The song is so good that they reuse various parts of it in Earthbound’s other songs. This is also a contender for my favorite area because of how the game cleverly tricks you into thinking Fourside is much bigger than it really is through its layout and plot events. The horn instrument in the theme also adds to the big city atmosphere.

>>10922773
>Which one was your 1st?
Mother 3
>Which one's your favorite?
3
>Who's your favorite character?
The dogs that kept getting possessed by the developer just to give you tips in Earthbound
>What's your favorite area?
the cloud city from the first one
>What's your favorite song?
Pollyanna

I still need to finish earthbound, pretty boring game.

They are quite literally designed to get you on and off as fast as possible, to either pump more coins from one person or so another can hop on.
Garegga is the absolute nadir for this

>>10922789
Probably an attempt to get the game running at 60fps on Gamecube. They failed there though, as instead of the solid 30fps on Dreamcast the framerate is now a wildly unstable 60fps.

>>10922743

So if you emulate the DC versions, do you get the original looks/effects?

>>10924120
Yes, with a substantially smaller game size for your rig, to boot.
I genuinely don't understand why you would go through the trouble of giving the PC version a plethora of bloated mods when you can just emulate anyway. I'm sure there's a quick hack out there that lets you skip cutscenes if that's really necessary.

does anyone have the PC version of Gun Survivor?

is the european version of the gamecube re3 port fully uncensored? also that's the most cramped key config screen i've ever seen

>>10923929
I have a disc of it I bought a long time ago. The game is broken, unfinished. There is basically no enemy AI and sounds are broken. It could have been good, turning the game into a proper FPS in which you can move and shoot at the same time, but it's just not worth anyone's time in the state that it is.

>>10922591
This reminds me I still need to do The Realm mega campaign for FRUA, I've had it bookmarked for so long that the website died.

>>10923118
You seriously underestimate 80’s nerds. They ended up making all your favorite 90’s and 2000’s RPGs.

First person to tell me what movie this is from without reverse image searching wins nothing.

>>10923548
Well this just gave me an idea for a thread so it’s Friday the 13th part 4.

>you can't convince me otherwise
no, we cant.

>>10922632
This, blew their retarded minds.

Art direction and level design working cohesively to give the player a better sense of direction isn't something you see a lot unfortunately.

>>10922641
Doom's corridors are hand-drawn, Halo's are literally prefabs copy and pasted

>>10922581
Because as a kid you didn't care about autistic stuff like copied hallways, due to you not yet being a jaded adult that lives for finding things to complain about, and could actually enjoy your games.

they killed it

>>10923991
Oh ok. To be fair I do also kinda prefer appimages. Especially on debian the dependencies can be a bitch. Did you do any troubleshooting?

>>10923983
Neat! I'm using a gtx 280. Gonna try it out tonite.

>>10923091
yeah that. it fucking sucks and whoever decided to spread that has shit taste.

>>10923384
The decomps help with romhacks, and most hackers are more interested in making stuff for original hardware. There's not as many PC-exclusive mods for SM64 or OoT.

>>10923808
If it could, we really need one for Saturn, the emulation is too demanding there.

>>10922654
Well I'm sorry to say that while I'm interested in the cause of this glitch, I just don't care enough to put in the effort.

This will just have to remain one of life's great mysteries.

>>10922625
I'm guessing:
>There is a progress flag for picking up the key
>The key does not spawn when the progress flag is set to "done"
>Picking up anything in the room sets the progress flag to "done"

Point 3 was likely an oversight.

>>10922752
Yeah, it's probably an oversight.

>>10922519
A normal person wouldn't leave the key.

>>10923283
I want to collect as many keys as possible. My magic meter was too low to cast Faerie to bypass the locked doors so I took that red potion and left the key.
