There was some modded drivers for these, to improve performance a bit.

>>9989661
Those are good and I bet you could adapt them to PC for some spinner games like Breakout.

>>9988207
>Man I was a stupid kid.
It was and it did not break easily, decent quality well made.

>>9995438
Youtube lied to you

>>9995438

>it did not break easily, decent quality well made.
you dumb motherfucker, i grew up with an Atari XEGS and the 2600 controller was complete shit compared to any d-pad equivalent
the stick kept breaking all the time, and the cable was so cheap, most of the time you would end with dead controllers because a cut wire

>>9995438
>t did not break easily, decent quality well made.
Those controllers will literally stop working just sitting around doing nothing. The wiring and contacts in them is so garbage that they will oxidize and kill themselves.

>>9989493
>worst boss I've ever had to deal it in Megamin overall was probably that flying boss from the King Stages in MM&B that forces you to keep jumping the entire fight
Just stay close to the boss and everything will be in control.

>>9989630
Not a problem, that can be learnt. It's actually a pretty good boss because the things you have to do against him are pretty unique (in MM games and action games in general, tons of similar patterns tend to repeated, it's not often that you find something that makes you rethink how you play action games, like Street Figther 2010, but Burner Man is one of those things)

>>9988205
Star Wars Rogue Leader was made in 8 months, and it was a launch title.

>>9988205
>Mega Man 7 was made in 3 months
Holy fuck never knew this. I wish we could go back so badly. I recall seeing RE2 and Halo 2 had short development times although not 3 months short. To think these people used to put out legendary classics we still discuss and love today. Meanwhile modern gaming is full of years long development cycles and the games are piles of shit anyways.

>>9988701
Three months would be 480 hours of work per staff member, if there were no meetings and they worked on the game like a machine. Maybe they designed most of the levels and characters in the NES era in a notebook and simply had to make it.

‘ick on ‘eck

why would an emulation enjoyer go to a retro store?

>>9989806
Or they were ripped off.

I prefer to imagine they're incredibly stupid and someone managed to sell them this exact same thing for way too high a price.

>>9989657
Fucking Pwned!

>>9993635
the traces corrode easily
also many people let the onboard battery leak and destroy everything
or try to replace it w/ the wrong type

>>9995606
>i bought broken garbage
Sorry to hear about hear head injury. Get well soon.

>>9989728
>the game is fucking horrible
Retarded hyperbole. It’s mediocre at worst.

>>9991142
Castlevania 2 wasn't the only vania before SoTN. CV3 and Rondo are semi-vanis

>>9992038
Ok? You can see everything in 3 with just three playthrough, it's not an issue there.

>>9992090
actually there is a multi-path within Alucard's path so it's more like 4

>>9990862
You already fully fought Tryrant though. It's even a non-playable shot.

Replaying Rondo is boring because you have to look up what to do to play the stages with cool original music instead of the awful remixes

5, with all the expansions, is good. apparently turn-based strategy is not popular enough.

>>9987791
yeah the artstyle aged like shit, but the gameplay is decent enough. best town screens too

Maybe it's the case that HoMM3 perfected this style of gameplay, so all you can really do is make a competent rehash (HoMMV) or try to build on the gameplay in ways that made the game less fun (all the other sequels).

>>9989089
heroes 3 is the perfect game. you literally cannot make it any better. its already the peak.

HoMM3 is one of those game types that were already perfected
Anything that's too much like it gets no interest from fans since they can just keep playing HoMM3 like they have for the last few decades.
Any game that tries to copy only parts of HoMM3 with its own unique spin on things is too different, so everyone would rather just keep playing HoMM3.

>>9988006
Funny read. I just love when someone claims to know better than the creators what the game is supposed to be. If the scrip was changed and the change was upheld in later releases it means the writer settled for that revision and not that he dosen't understand his own work. Also the obsession with it being "dark" is funny considering the sequel materials are all generic anime.

Intead of playing it, he came here to ask what the fuck it is. can't make this shit up folks

I like the ost. Shame the remake changes it.

>>9990062
Not him but, no, it wasn't.
The only good memory I've ever had trying to achieve "The High Score" was in RE4 Mercenaries.

Kagero Mansion

They're absolutely coming back that in the 5th full 3D kirby game

Kirb

>>9987725
Computer Virus boss fight in Great Cave expanded would make for cool Kirby RPG.

Just copy Final Fantasy V.

Weren't characters usually encoded with one byte, meaning 512kb could contain up to 524288 characters?

>>9987671
yo op here, i played this on a demo disc and then got it new. played it on christmas of 97. i like 2 and 3, but the first one is my favorite, it’s perfect.

>>9987671
All I remember is the game over screen. They really punished you if you fucked up and hit too many friendlies. You didn't just game over, you got your character sent to the mines, where he toiled until he died of exhaustion.

>>9989228
I wonder which Colony Wars game over we're living in our current world.

Shame about the difficulty

>>9989239
Our kind and the Father will be destroyed and the world will know only the empire.
>>9989247
Too easy or too difficult?

>>9994257
I agree with you and youre still a fag

>>9994616
Take me back...

>>9994308
What's baity about them? They're incredibly dull and repetitive.

>>9995505
Yeah, there was a box set for each race. I think the orc box was the most common, at least in my area. I remember going to our Apple Store to get my iPod fixed about a month after I got my WC3 copy—their shelves had mostly orc and undead boxes. I never saw a night elf box.

>>9995595
I wish I could, man, I wish I could…

>>9996320
Most old rts games were like that, they all felt repetitive after a while. One of wc3’s best innovations was the variety of gameplay it and other later RTS’s introduced.

>>9996827
I only ever got a battlechest as late as 2013 but I played a borrowed cd key from a friend back in 2008

>>9988553
There was a Spanish addendum that fixed all the glitches that got an English translation, as far as I know the game is fine.

>>9988705
I've never played it due to being on the DS, I didn't know it was a shit translation, I just knew that it was an official English version of 4 that wasn't on the NES so I could avoid playing an 8-bit game.

>>9988573
The intro to this game still astounds me. It's weird how stiff and lacking in animation the rest of the game is when the opening is so beautifully fluid.

>>9992171
The intro was added for the NA release, therefore it was made in 92 while the rest of the game was made in 88.

DW2 was also added an intro which expands on the princess' backstory. That intro was then added to the other version(s) of the game, the SNES one has it at least. But in the case of 3, the Ortega fight remained exclusive to the NES NA version and was absent in the later re-releases.

P4 is held in just as high if not higher regards though. I mean, they’re almost the same game mechanically, it’s just which theme/coat of paint/cast you like more.

>>9987597
>>9988040
This pretty much sums it up. P4 ended up being rather unfulfilling for me because of this.

>>9987465
Any game that features an okama character

>>9987465
Sonic 2

>>9987465
Anything in any e-celebs top 10. All first party Nintendo games. Anything that is popular for speed running. Any game with female character creation or a female main character.

So using this criteria, we can put Super Metroid pretty high up on the list.

>>9987465
Games by Nintrando and for Nintrando systems

>>9987465
Ocarina of Time and Earthbound.

>>9987679
I love the game to death, but while thematically the repetitive nature makes sense, it rarely switches things up in the level design to make the exploration worthwhile and even with the bosses that it can get a bit tiresome. Besides gaining stronger spells, the bosses don't get any new behaviors or patterns to their attacks.
As for the levels, off the top of my head: Mushroom Forest, Veo Lu Sluice, I THINK River Belle and, to an extent, the Marsh, are the only places that change up the level design a bit, albeit only once, to make the revisits feel fresh. The devs had the right idea adding new/stronger monsters to the levels, but they could've done just a bit more in the level design and boss department.

I was lucky to have friends with GBAs/SPs for multiplayer, but it was a bit shit controlling your character with a d-pad in 3D, semi-action game and even WORSE with the SP's flat as fuck d-pad. It might be better on Dolphin with the mGBA integration using a controller.

What's stopping them? A few words online?

If you're really enjoying something in itself then why does it matter, you don't need validation
Death to all zoomers

You know when you bring a friend over to watch a movie, and they spend the whole time the movie is playing messing with their phone, and then when you get to the end they say they didn't get it and didn't think it was that good?
That's how I feel when I watch people play games in awful ways, then criticize them.
Before you can talk shit about a game you have to put in effort to enjoy it correctly first.

>>9990818
>What's stopping them? A few words online?
Unironically yes. You autists laugh at the throughout the whole thread with no discussion to be had and then it becomes a shit flinging contest. Dumbass.
