What retro sports games have you been playing lately besides 2K5? Anything interesting to recommend?

I've been messing around with NBA Action 98 for Saturn the last couple days. Pretty interesting game, you can definitely feel the 2K DNA in it. It's definitely aged better than most basketball sims of the era.

KoF is my eternal fave, I love them all up to 11 but could never pick a fave between 98 and 02. I like to play just about everyone, but my go to when I want to pull out a win is Iori, Athena, Kim.


Second favorite would be Mortal Kombat 2, which really doesn't hold up well but still has a special place in my heart because of how obsessed with it I was and it got me to truly love the genre.

After that it's hard as there are a ton I love so picking just one is hard. There's a lot I like about SF3, but similarly with Darkstalkers, Samshow and big shout out to Budokan which still delights me in it's weirdness. But to chose just one more I'd give it to Last Blade 2.

Guilty pleasures if you could call them that aren't retro, MK9 and Injustice the later of which I was super deep into at the time. The guiltiest of pleasures being blaring the Wonder Woman theme over the mic while moping the floor with people.

Time has judged cartridges to be better from a financial standpoint. Hand-me-down and used N64 carts (along with the GBA and DS) have created brand loyalty in this generation of zoomers that has allowed Nintendo to flourish. Millennials didn't trust their younger siblings, nieces, and nephews with their discs. Or if they did the discs didn't stand up to the handling from grubby little-kid hands.

>> No.11024325

That's basically a type of cartridge.
SSDs are so cheap now you could put individual games on them and configure your emulator to load whatever game is on them automatically if you wanted that tactile cart swapping experience.

>> No.11024380

Cartridges are obviously the best format because flash memory is superior in 2024, which retroactively must mean it was better in the 90's too

Controls are more complex, but you'll learn them pretty quick. You don't have psi powers or such, and the combat focuses on using gun, you also got throwable grenades coming in different types. Inventory is simplyfied, no stats to upgrade and and generally less content compared to SS2

Its hard to compare these two. Both are pretty good, but I would say SS1 requires more dedication, and cant really be played as "casualy" as SS2
