/vr/ - Retro Games

I don't like it either but all I can say is just pirate shit and don't support the market; hoping it'll get less shitty is all there is. you can't blame someone for being moderately popular & wanting to show off a fun game (hell hate Mike is pretty hated by a lot of Cinemassacre fans so he's not exactly a big "celeb")

Why the fuck would you retards buy games ffs, you can literally download everything for free and play it on original hardware (or emulate if you are a faggot). There no reason whatsoever to waste your money on this shit

this game rules for how well it captures the core Tezuka atmosphere btw

>>10580763
Just emulate nigger, what's the point of lamenting about prices.

This. Original hardware is not even that good anymore when stuff like PowKiddy A30 and V90 exist

I only hated him because he latched on so hard to the AVGN channel while James was busy making his shitty film so the channel's upload schedule wouldn't be halted. I subbed to AVGN to watch James Rolfe, not his unfunny, but competent editor make shitty videos and commentary.
Once he fucked off and did his own thing I started to like his content more.

I will admit though, Minecraft with Gadget is avant garde and became kino with age.

>>10580763
this would be a problem if flashcarts or hacked 3DS's didnt exist already

>>10580779
You still have to buy the flash cart and hope it doesn't shit itself. At least I can trust an official cart to not up and die.

>>10580796
I'm genuinely convinced that most people trying to beg people to play on these bootleg systems and emulation are resellers making bank off of these inflated prices or ad-men for the bootleg systems.

Mike Matei sucked at this game lol.
He's really not good at games, this was proved when he did these episodes with Bootsy.

>>10580763
A buddy gave me a complete in box of this game about six months ago. Still not selling. FGM

>mike matei
Who

>>10581217
Don't sell it, treasure it, it's an amazing game.

>>10581227
A weird man who leeches out the fame of James Rolfe/Angry video game nerd.
He claims to be a hardcore gamer.
The only based thing he did was dating an e-celeb woman who was the crush of Joe Reditter (from Game Sack)

>>10581239
I never will. He gave me a complete Ninja Five0, too.

>>10581182
I like his approach to finding games but watching him play can definitely be annoying & after looking into it I came to the conclusion that the /vr/ claims about him stitching a Punch-Out playthrough to spite Bootsy were 100% true. dude's a total manchild

I still find him fun to watch cuz there's so few decent retro gaming stuff you can just sit back & watch without getting annoyed & I like that he just tries out every game & sees what he likes without referring to "the community" & retro gamer groupthink much. he's deeply flawed but the good still makes up for the bad for me

>>10581247
he wrote a shitton of AVGN content though and is really the bigger gamer of the two by a long shot. when "James" recommends a cool lesser-known game it's really Mike doing it. he's a deeply flawed manchild but I feel like the hate is overblown

>>10580841
The v90 is shit, but there's slmost no difference bewteen kekriginal hardware and emulation aside from the lack of co-op
>>10581168
The first one doesnt even make sense. Chinks gain nothing from inflated resellers. Better to just make chinkhelds and flashkarts

emulate it

>>10581261
Agreed, I also enjoy his man baby outbursts, I get a chuckle almost every time. Though we both know bootsy is the real MVP and Mike did him dirty.

>>10581158
>hope it doesn't shit itself.
Maybe if it's a chink knockoff.

>>10581269
He still does content for James. James literally just admitted that mikes gameplay is used in his episodes and the fact that avgn the character is half based off of Mike getting angry at games, just means that Mike will always be a part of the nerd.

>>10581375
>kekriginal
lmao filtered envious retard.
original hardware > all

>>10581394
All flashkarts are chink knockoff's. Just dont get duped into buying one's with shit battery life or one's that only allow up to 128mb
>>10581401
You imply goymulation isnt also keked, bro. Its the same shit.

>>10580763
You didn't want it until you saw Mike play it.
You are complaining about something which you are part of.
If you just want to play the game there are several solutions for you.
Retro gamers are completely spoiled.
You have a 100% accurate recreation of what you want available in the form of flash carts and repros but you still complain.
Do you understand what this would be like in other hobbies?
Imagine if on /o/ you could go and buy an exact replica of a 1963 Split Window corvette for the average msrp price of Toyota Corolla.
Or get a version of that same car which is 99.99% identical completely for free (emulation).
Spoiled. Just spoiled brats.

>>10581412
You are a complete idiot.
Just a moron.
Get some fucking knowledge, dumbass.

>>10581397
>James literally just admitted that mikes gameplay is used in his episodes and the fact that avgn the character is half based off of Mike getting angry at games
do you have the direct source? not surprised but I want to have a reference to use in the future

>>10581158
The fact that you apparently can't navigate the internet and do the research to pick out a reliable flash cart brand is indicator that you are very stupid, not the condemnation of flash cart tech that you think it is.

I never see these kinds of comments from console flash cart discussions. It's always in the GBA kiddie threads where they are FUDing over flash carts and repros.

Train your brain cells and learn what to buy and not buy.

>licensed by Nintendo
>published by Sega
>in cooperation with Sony (pictures)
Is there any other game that has all 3 companies working together in some way or capacity? Seems like a very rare occassion

>>10581421
>Knowledge
My knowldege is... Most flashkarts are chink shit, but get the job done. Nothing wrong with reproduction as long as they keep the clock. And the ereader was retarded.

>>10581451
If they "get the job done" then are not "shit".
You have cognitive dissonance.

>>10580763
How much does the game go for?
I still remember the clearance bins 2 GBA games for $10 full of this game at Sears in 2006. I grabbed a copy because even back then it was recommended in most gaming forums.

>>10581497
I got it for like $4 at game stop around 2009, good times.
I think nowadays, loose cart, doesn't go for anything under $70 or $80

>>10581426
Nta but the most recent avgn video of ff6 uses the footage from Mike's ff6 livestreams 2 months ago. He's listed in the credits on the video.
He's also listed on imdb for writing and producing credits on the show.

And for anecdotal evidence, just watch one of his streams or the rage compilations. He's the spaz the nerd is based on.

>>10580779
I must own the plastic

>>10581426
Watch Scott's recent interview with James.

>>10581564
>Scott
the Woz?

>>10581432
Sorry, but I'm not going to fall for your advertising. Your phony knock-offs are a waste of money. Even the one's that DO work aren't worth their inflated prices.

>>10581261
Mike has beaten punch out on stream. I like bootsy but just because Bootsy was going to do a video about battletoads doesnt mean that James, Mike or anyone else can’t also play it.
https://youtu.be/KIqwR02Q5Tw?feature=shared

>>10581580
Yes

>>10581247
Mike wrote the AVGN episodes with James and captured the gameplay on many if not most of the episodes. I’m not sure how someone writing and recording the gameplay and helping to write scripts is a “leech”. Pretty sure that would be called a collaborator.

>>10580781
Coomlectors don't care about about the actual game. What they enjoy is the idea of playing from an official piece of plastic

>>10581426
Mike’s name is in the credits of AVGN episodes for recording the gameplay.

>>10581375
I assume he means that resellers get to keep their prices high because everyone too poor to actually demand lower prices are all being funneled off to the Hong-kong knock-offs that break within a year.
If the only people left to buy OG hardware and carts are the people comfortable to spending that kind of money, no one is going to sell anything for cheaper. Why do you think they were trying to pretend that NES carts were the same as rare baseball cards a couple of years ago? Lot of idiot boomers are willing to waste a ton of money thinking they're making an investment.

>>10581709
That's not what it's about. It's about bootsy being better at games than Mike while also keeping his composure. It pissed off Mike because bootsy was bringing a whole different aspect to the nerd; a duality if you will. In board james, bootsy also outshined Mike, yet again. I like them both but there was definitely animosity from Mike, towards bootsy.

>>10581725
>they don't care about the game
>they just care about the game being played on original hardware

Sounds like they care a lot about the games.

>>10581426
Here is a direct source from James saying that Mike records the gameplay for AVGN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7gUydc1SmI
9 minutes 20 seconds in.

Mike has recorded the gameplay for AVGN since the first season of the show.

Here is a video of Mike talking about his episode contributions. Someone made a compilation of all the times people asked him about it on stream.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEyyeIU7g2U

Mike is also credited at the end of many episodes for recording the gameplay.

Oh good a cinemassacretruth thread in vr. When do the bald memes start?

>>10581730
You are not wrong that Bootsy is better at keeping his composure with games. Probably because he cares less about them.
If Mike didn't lose his shit at games then there would have been no AVGN to begin with since James based it on Mike's outbursts.

>>10581754
WHERE DID THEIR HAIR GO?

I'm not surprised at all that a lot of the Nerd was written from Matei's perspective. James out of character seems more reserved and too calm to rage that much, meanwhile Mike whips out his cock

>>10581693
You're an idiot.

>>10581759
I agree, and while I am a bootsy fanboy I think that era is good as is. I like the Mike twitch content more than avgn these days, and idk what the fuck happened to bootsy.

>>10581765
Kek, fuck you got me good

>>10581835
I don't think Bootsy ever really cared about video games very much. I've read he was supposed to do one Bootsy Beats a month. And instead he only made one episode about Battletoads that he split into four parts and released over 8 months. Supposedly this is one of the reasons he was let go. It's a shame he had to be lazy because it was a good show.
