/vr/ - Retro Games

They do if they are on retro hardware. You might be too new to remember, but back in the 00s, "retro" hardware was considered everything before PS2 and GBA. Any site that hosted retro content, used this cutoff point. And oh boy was there a lot of buzz in the first half of the decade, about new Neogeo and Dreamcast games! I remember playing Chaos Field on chankast which was missing all the player bullets, hacking a half-incomplete romset of Metal Slug 5 into Nebula Jukebox so I can check how the music was compared to the earlier games, or laughing when a Mexican site offered an alternate download link for SNK vs Capcom Chaos roms, to ease the server load... only that both files were hosted on the same server.
But I could mention the famous Maddox Ikaruga review (ps. Tekken sucks), or playing Matrimelee to death and checking daily for news on its PS2 port - that ended up sucking, partially because they did not include the Rage of the Dragons bonus characters!

The Dreamcast and Neogeo and all of its games are "retro" gaming era, even the later ones. I could list half a dozen reasons why this should be so, from historical reasons regarding the "retro" gaming moniker, and also from the type of games that were on the console which reminiscence the older type of gameplay that predominates retro games.

The point is that none of those small reasons would be one, critical barrier that tells you where the rules should cut off the consoles... but combined together, they do form one.

I mean are you seriously saying that a Neogeo VS fighter is not retro, just because it was released in 2001? Is Metal Slug 5 somehow a modern game just because it was released in what, 2003? That would be asinine.

It's not like we are talking about GTA V DLCs for the Dreamcast.

Good taste. Lynn is probably one of the best developed characters in Rage of the Dragons and it's a shame she only got to appear in one game and as a guest character in Matrimelee. If RoTD ever gets another shot, I hope they try to do their own thing, distancing themselves from the Double Dragon roots and try to focus on Lynn and the original characters more.

Maybe there's some hope. SNK Playmore actually bothered trying to release that Humble Bundle - even if it's literally paying-for-roms. Still, it means they didn't forget about their older catalog. Although Visco somehow licensed Breakers for some really, really shady late AES release, Rage of the Dragons might have better chances, as Noise Factory is still around and there's a big "Evoga is back" on their website.

Lynn from Rage of the Dragons. It's a fun as hell game but it's broke as shit. Could have been one of the greats if they tightened it up more but it's still a pretty fun time.

Was supposed to be a double dragon game at one point
