/vr/ - Retro Games

This game is shit, plain and simple.

Oh, let's all get the warp whistle and warp to "big world"! Too bad big world isn't fucking fun, like the rest of this game. The entire thing is designed to anger and frustrate you. Oh, you get Kuribo's shoe on one fucking level! Wow, pardon me while I make the universal motion for a handjob. Kuribo's shoe fucking sucked. What did it do, exactly? It let you JUMP ON THINGS, something you were able to do the entire fucking game. Oh, also you looked gay.

There are some interesting power-ups in the game, such as Tanookie Mario, Hammer Mario, and Frog Mario. But guess what? You can get them on like 2 levels total, and if you fuck up and get hit ONCE, you lose them, FOREVER. Wow, that's fun! I love games that demand I play perfectly or have no fun, because I'm a fucking jap who strives for absolute perfection in gaming otherwise I kill myself.

Mario 3 may have been interesting or fun at one time, but the game is a worthless piece of shit in today's day and age. It's horribly flawed and full of punch-in-the-dick moments, much more so than it has moments that are just fun to play.

Post retro games that are still 10/10

Anyone remember this gem?

One of the greatest games ever made.

>Batman
Slow and clunky controls. Any platformer that has delay frames when you jump is automatically garbage.

>Duck Tales
The pogo stick is inconsistent and buggy at times. Platformers are all about tight and responsive controls. Also, instant enemy respawn is dumb game design in a game like this.

>Ninja Gaiden
Mediocre gameplay that is embellished with style and good music.

>Mario 2
Decent. But oh so boring.

>Kirby
Slowdown ridden mediocrity that is slow and too easy.

>Shatterhand
More style than substance.

>Chip 'n Dale
Absolutely nothing special. Plain as can be.

>Little Nemo
Atrocious hit detection.

>Vice: Project Doom
Too much health = dumb game design.

>Little Samson
Just plain boring.

>Adventure Island
Play the original arcade version.

>Bugs Bunny games
Slow and atrocious.

>Darkwing Duck
Clunky.

>Mr. Gimmick
This one is good actually.

>Mega Man
Most overrated series in the history of video games. The definition and epitome of mediocrity.

Playing this for the first time. Is the Locked Door in World 1 supposed to actually lead anywhere? Does unlocking it just earn extra points or something?

The font isn't even close and the color is wrong.

Also there's a trademark symbol that's not there on the real thing. Though all the trademark symbols seem to be missing everywhere they are supposed to be and all over where they shouldn't be.

They did a pretty fucking shit job vectorizing the title too.

Why is this not being talked about here?

This is a PC build of Mario 3 made by Carmack and Romero. This was just now released for viewing. Pretty interesting stuff, check it out.

I bought a NES emulation system from amazon, an original NES controller and SMB3 for my bro for xmas. Should I give it to him or keep it for myself?

honestly

Can we talk about one of my favourite video games of all time? Experiences? Memorable moments? Favourite enemies?

It took me 10 years to finally beat this game. I had it as a kid on the NES but I never finished it. My mom sold the NES and all the games for 10$ at a garage sale. I was so pissed because she sold it when I was putting up posters for the damn sale.

Anyways, I got the game on the Wii and finally finished it. Then a few months back I was high with some friends and one of them let me play his NES and I finished SMB.3 for the first time on the NES. Because of my altered state I was playing like a mad man.

IGN named Super Mario Bros. 3 the greatest video game of all time.

Is that fair at all? I wouldn't even consider it the greatest Mario game - World trumps it in just about every way.

Being this retarded.

>hey this 27 year old game does hold up very well today!

Moments like these, reminiscing about cherished childhood moments on retro games are why I come to this board. You're good people, anon.

• No way to use advanced suits in early worlds (IE. It is impossible to use the hammer bros suit in World 1 or the Tanooki suit in world 2).
• 90% of levels are too short.
• Flying is too easy. Just mash A.
• Autoscroll levels are a bore after the first time.

What are some good, smooth 2d platformers with tight controls, where you can just pick them up and start playing? I'd prefer something longer with an overmap (SMB3, SMW, etc.) over shorter games.

Pic related is my favorite platformer, ever.

coolrom was where i got all my shit from but now they dont carry NES/SNES. Anyone got a link to a site i can download from that isn't sketchy as fuck?

What is the best platformer in all of /vr/ history?
and why was it Super Mario Bros. 3?

Is this the best video game ever made? Every time I play it it just feels so perfect.

Which version do you prefer, /vr/? I would love to hear your opinions.

Personally, and I'm probably in the minority, I prefer Super Mario Bros 3. I just like the feel, control, and things it provides much more so than the Super Mario World game. The game's floaty jump I think works great, the power ups are really nice, and the levels are short and compact. I know that there a lot more levels than SMW, but it feels less like a marathon to me, and I have a lot of fun along the way.

Wow, OP. I found an old, forgotten gem in my attic too! Why was this game so underrated? What gave it such a retro feel?
