/vr/ - Retro Games

>>1415332
This, this so much.

>>1415332
looks comfy.

Flying Dragon

Fighter with two modes. Virtual, which is like Virtua Fighter but shit, and SD, which combines fighters and simple RPG mechanics. You get items, equip them to boost your attack or defense, fight battles and gain experience which will level up and evolve those items.

>>1415332
I don't know what that is, but I really like the art style.

>>1415327
Oh god, I liked it when the level music changes when you eat a Super Happy Fruit.
I always pause the game to listen to the changed music.

Underrated games are still shit most of the times.

>>1415430
Not always true, but sometimes. Like, I have fond memories of Glover from when I was a kid. I still have my copy, and I still play it sometimes to this day. I know it's shit, but I love it for other reasons. Same goes for other not-so-great games like Chameleon Twist, etc.

>>1415430
true but everything deserves one play. bad games like sonic 06 and (insert bad 64 game here) serve as a learning tool.
on one hand you could waste a couple hours, but on the other you could rent your new favorite game.
Yoshis island was the bomb. next 64 game hands down.
Pic unrelated (never played original starfox)

>>1415458
SA2 and YOU CANNOT TELL ME DIFFERENT
but no capsyelling aside i love SA2. Raising Chao's to raise them to fight and race, replaying city escape over and over. i replayed it recently with my lady and oh my god it handles like a big wet poo

>>1415458
everybody who hates glover are casuals anyway
I don't care that I died 50 times on a level, it had a unique style.
Especially the future level, shit was dope.

>>1415483
I love SAB2 I know it's not an amazing game, but I love the shit out of it. Same goes for Shadow the Hedgehog... I got it for my birthday when I was in 5th grade, and even though it was awful, I loved it.

>>1415475
Go play Starfox 64. Like, now. It's awesome, you won't be disappointed. In fact, I'm going to go play it now.

>>1415458
What's wrong with Chameleon Twist? It could certainly stand to be longer, but I thought it was good.

>>1415332

Fuuccccccccck I completely forgot about that

>>1416000
It's just super weird and lots of people don't really like it for some reason. I love it, especially the sequel.

Underrated or just overlooked?

>>1416416
Both I suppose. I would say games like Chameleon Twist are underrated, but games like Yoshi's Story are overlooked.

It seems like a lot of people think Super Mario 64 hasn't aged well... Why is that?

>>1416437
Hearing this for the first time.

>>1416437
mental dysfunction.

>>1416437
Nothing in 3D for the N64 has aged well, so that's not really fair.

>>1416485
This goes for everything that generation.

>>1416485
>>1416486
Not really. Even for the N64, there were some games that aged well than others.

YS deserves its reputation.
It's just fucking garbage, come on. The whole concept about the fruit shit is retarded, level design is so bland, the egg mechanics are simplified and shit compared to SMW2, it looks ugly, the sound effects and music are an aggressive attack against your ears and sanity, it's so easy you'll literally fall asleep playing unless you're 4 years old...

how can you call this game underrated?

>>1416437
There is no early 3D game that has aged well. Just look at Tomb Raider, same thing.

If we're talking underrated n64 games, we're talking about Flying Dragon, Glover, and Duke 64

>>1415350
this

>>1416487
And by that, I meant to say "better".

>>1416475

When I was little I remember always seeing this in Blockbuster and wanting to play it. I don't think I ever did, though.

Are there any streams that focus on playing stuff like weird old N64 games and the like? I'd watch the hell out of it.

obligatory post

>>1416437
I think it aged okay, it's just Banjo-Kazooie was plain better.

>>1416650
Banjo-Kazooie was good, Banjo-Tooie was much better.

>>1416650
>implying that Banjo-Kazooie was as fascinating as Super Mario 64

Feels like I'm the only one who played this

>>1416650
>>1416678
You can't even compare them. Mario 64 is a platforner while Banjo is more like an adventure.

>>1416680
I love the shit out of that game. The sequel was better though.

>>1416650
>>1416678
> it's just Banjo-Kazooie was plain better.
…And then says I can compare games

Bug Bumble :DDD

I remember having barely played this game (like, 5 minutes), while I watched my friend (who had rent the cart) struggle with what seemed to be 1st world.
Should it be mentioned, at least?

I didn't even know it wasn't an exclusive until I got to search for this image... now

>>1416725
Fuck yes!

>>1416725
>not 1080

>>1416725
One of the best game imo. My cousin and I rented it every now and then. Friends form the neighbourhood thought it was just some shitty Mario Kart ripoff, but we loved it.
>>1416743
If you're talking about the game in the pic, I didn't play it, so i don't give my thoughts about it

>>1415350

Let a guy borrow Flying Dragon and he moved away with it. Was a really fun game in the chibi mode and I liked a lot of the music. I also remember the metal version of that little mexican kid was a real grind fight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt43CT-u9mo

But yeah, pic related. They need to make a sequel or something it with online multiplayer.

Not an exclusive, but still awesome.

>>1416680
I still vividly remember the carnival level.

>>1416764

Man I remember you needed a few carrots for that rabbit and my friend and I looked EVERYWHERE for the last one. It might have been glitched or something because we went through the whole level multiple times. Still a fun game.

>>1416485
>Nothing in 3D for the N64 has aged well

What makes you say that? I think the low-res 3D is fascinating.

>>1416779
I second that.

>>1416779
some people legitimately think their opinions are true on a worldwide scale. they also don't realize that a majority of idiotic people buy nintendo 64 games simply for their appearance, so obviously the nintendo 64s graphics aged well.

Speaking of the N64, does anyone here own one of these controllers? I'm starting to build a nice collection because I really like the console, but I still find the standard controller pretty awkward.

>>1416881
Yeah, the standard model takes some time getting used to, but it's ok. I heard those Hori controllers are much better though, but damn are they expensive as fuck. You might have better luck getting those NGC-styled replacement joysticks than finding those babies at a decent price.

>>1416881
Not to say you're not entitled to your own opinion, but I never got the whole 'n64 controller is awkward' thing. To me its just a miniaturised arcade joystick.

>>1416920
I still have 3 original model controllers and I know the sticks are worn-out severely. I've always been afraid to look into the replacements as I keep hearing this-and-that is off or some crap

>>1416925
Now hear me out; I really like the n64 controller and all, but it's true that it might've felt a little awkward for people at first, especially for ones just coming off the SNES. They're not saying it's bad an all, it just feels a little strange and to be honest, I don't really blame them. I had some trouble with the first PSX controller since I was more used to the DualShock, but after some time, I was able to get a hold of it.

>>1416934
It's not actually that bad for the most part. I replaced one of my controllers old joysticks with pic related and it works out pretty good.

>>1416881

I own one (new in box), bought it from some nice jap lad

pic related in the center on the shelf

>>1415327

I fucking love Yoshi's Story

I love getting high and play the shit out of this game, it's too damn cute, I wish I could live with them

>>1416961
Next time you're high, try unlocking the purple Yoshi.

>>1416680
Is it just me or does the PAL cover here look more "hardcore"?

>>1417000
No, you're definitely right.

It's a shame the N64 didn't have many RPGs.

Fortunately, it had this, which is pretty damn awesome.

This thread needs more hybrid heaven

>>1416437
The camera control is putrid shit.

>>1415332

Fucking that game.

Sucker Punch is a god-tier company.

If only the Brothers Chaps were making cartoons :-(

>>1417342
Matt still does. He writes for Gravity Falls. Mike doesn't, though.

Did any of you guys play this one?

>>1417414
Oh you.

I was upset to hear this game got mediocre reviews at release.

>>1417067
This fucking game man
>everyone hypes it up as the Metal Gear Solid killer
>buy it day one, hyped as fuck
>start the game up expecting the MGS killer
>you wrestle with aliens

>stop playing for the day
>give the game a last chance the next day
>mfw arm locking, crossfacing and german suplexes everyday, beating the shit out of every alien, basically removing space kebab

>>1417067

Are there any other games like this? I'd be totally cool with a system like this for a Fist of the North Star game.

>>1417384
Holy shit I didn't know that!

>>1417414
My box was all gold and shiny. They also gave me a Link T-shirt. Too bad it was a XXL.....I was like 10 years old....wtf?

>>1416694
I had it for PC, I think as an adult now I would probably get more of the jokes/references. Was pretty fun from what I could remember but I was like 9 when it came out

>>1417039
God damnit now I want to dl the emulator and try beating this game...again. From what I can remember I made it to the part where I got the black guy with the wolverine claws.

>>1417295
>>1417305
>they will never make a final Strong Bad Email or final episode

>>1417384
>Gravity Falls

It had potential until it became a mixture of "lolrandum xD" and "ten year old boy (that sounds like a guy in his 20s) is trying desperately to get into the pants of a 13 year old girl that's twice his height".

And that's another thing I noticed, especially in older shows and cartoons. The boy and the girl might be the same age, but the girl always seemed to be a bit taller. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

>>1417796
that's how it is with many kids around 10-12 years old, mainly because girls start puberty earlier and thus start their growth spurt while boys are still prepubescent. We all thought that my cousin would be really tall when she shot up at around 12 years old, but 10+ years later, she's largely the same height as she was back then.

>>1416948

I've installed one of those sticks too and in first person shooters it fucks with your sensitivity something shocking.

>>1417756

That would fit your average Zelda fan quite well.

>>1417825

>>1415332
You're gonna make me cry, bro.
You're going to make me fucking cry.

Anyone still play Bomberman 64?
I love the quirky techno-ish soundtrack

Pic: screenshot from the level "Hyper Room"

>>1417936
I liked Hudson's attempts to turn Bomberman into a recognised mascot character. Bomberman 64, Bomberman Hero, Bomberman Wars... Shame they never really took off. Classic Bomberman is still the bomb though.

>>1417936
That is Bomberman Hero. A good game, but its not Bomberman 64.

>>1417951
I'll tell you one thing, BM64 has not aged well.

>>1417434
I still need to play this. I've heard people say it's actually really good, good enough to be the real Doom 3.

>>1417996
Its ok, and the graphics are really good, but it feels kind of "off". Probably because it looks very similar to Doom, but runs on a different engine.

>>1417936
I just beat Hero the other week. It's hard to re adjust to the low frame rates and it sucks that you lose your powerups when you turn off the game.

>>1418008
If I'm being honest, I was actually planning on playing this specifically: http://doom64ex.wordpress.com/

So the off feel might not be there.

Anyone?

>>1418028
It's my favorite Kirby game, hands-down.

>>1415332

How funny that the developers responsible for the PS2's killer apps also developed games for the N64. It's almost as if it taught them valuable lessons.

>>1418028
That game is underrated?

>>1418023
That is definite version to play now. i'm not sure what the other guy means by off, but the game is certainly more than okay as far as a Doom game goes. You really have to hunt for the secret levels though unlike Doom 1/2.

>>1418051
>You really have to hunt for the secret levels though unlike Doom 1/2.
Should be interesting.

>>1417434
>>1417996
Wow, I never thought to check this game out before, but damn does it look creepy and unsettling. I mean, Doom had it's scary moments but damn.

>>1417067
I just ordered this game used for 8 buckaroos, I hope it is supergreat.

>>1417671
>everyone hypes it up as the Metal Gear Solid killer

Unfortunately, it was MGS and Kojima who killed Nintendo.

>>1418083

Huh?

>>1418076

Story's cool, combat's awesome and unique, level design sucks. Copy/paste corridors everywhere.

>>1417671
>>everyone hypes it up as the Metal Gear Solid killer

But... it's not even a stealth game.

>>1418089
MGS is one of the biggest third party franchises on the planet, and Nintendo was nice enough to turn one of their most anticipate games into an advertisement for MGS4, which was coming out for a competitor's console. Likewise, MGS5 is coming out to every console under the sun except Nintendo's, and Nintendo is given the shortest stick when it comes to MG games.

Seems like Konami just loathes Nintendo.

>>1418094
>and Nintendo was nice enough to turn one of their most anticipate games into an advertisement for MGS4

Which game are you referring to?

>>1418105

Not the same guy but I assume he means Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

>>1418120

Ah, that would make sense. Still, I doubt very much that MGS4 needed any help making sales from Nintendo and I also doubt that Snake appearing in Brawl was much of a boon to Konami when trying to market MGS4.

>>1418094
>Nintendo was nice enough to turn one of their most anticipate games into an advertisement for MGS4

Yet Kojima himself was the one who requested Snake to be in Brawl from his son's own requesting. The decision actually dates back to Melee though, but by that time it was too late since the game was already pretty late in development.

>>1418145
oh yes, that fucking cow man, hours of entertainment.

>>1418125
>I also doubt that Snake appearing in Brawl was much of a boon to Konami

If anything, I dare say Konami made more money from Brawl than they did from MGS4, considering it was free advertising and they get royalties.

>>1418135
Yet Kojima is the very same person who detests the NES version of Metal Gear. Who gives a shit if the NES version was the one that was actually successful enough to warrant a sequel, Kojima himself said it was bad. And what other MG games did Nintendo have? There was Snake's Revenge, which is not-canon. There was Ghost Babel, which was okay but not-canon. There's also the Backflipping Snakes that, GASP, is also not-canon.

Besides, could you imagine how fucking detrimental Snake in Melee would've been to the GameCube? A character from a franchise that has an upcoming game on a rival's console? The GameCube would've joined the DreamCast as soon as the game came out. If Nintendo was smart, they would've allowed Snake in Melee in exchange for exclusivity. It'd be retarded to have Melee be a commercial for the PS2, especially since the GameCube was a complete market failure.

>>1418016
Play the Japanese version. It's actually a drastically different game both in terms of the levels and how the game handles your progress

>>1418180

Hell yes. Played the PS2 version too but it felt worse even though it was essentially the same game, albeit with Dreamcast tier graphics. It was just little things that seemed excusable on the N64 but not the PS2, like character animations etc. Great game though.

>>1418028

>>1417951
Bomberman Hero is awesome. I might play it right now.

>>1418554
the soundtrack is boss. One of my favorite games growing up.

>>1418028
So good!

>>1418028
My nigga
My favourite combination was 2x Cutter, Rock + Cutter, Ice + Electricity (you would become just a refrigerator lol). What was yours?

>>1418642
I liked cutter and ice, which gave you ice skates, and I think it was rock and spike which was the drill.

>>1416437
Not only the camera is terrible, the missions are kinda dull compared to other 3d Marios and Mario controls slip a lot and have this unexplainable thing when they make him move as an U instead of just facing backwards when you want to turn him back. This shit caused me to fall from a lot of tight spaces.
>>1416551
>There is no early 3D game that has aged well.
Ocarina of Time hasn't aged at all.
It still plays like a modern game. Arguably, its main flaw is the emptiness of the overworld but that's more of a problem with 3d Zeldas than it is for OoT.

Outside of kart games, this is the best racing game on the console.

>>1418649
>>1418642

It took me forever to learn how to use the double bomb thing. I remember how much it blew my mind when I found out about the little hat you had to put on. my fav was the bomb cutter I believe. idk. It was the one where you did like these crazy flips and set off explosions in the air.

>>1418678

f-zero x? choro q?

>>1418145

Aww yeah. I have a lot more experience with 2, though. Been trying to get my streetfighterfag friends to just try it out, but they refuse.

Goemons Great Adventure
I don't know if it's actually underrated but it hasn't been posted and the wiki says it didn't sell a crazy number of copies, also it's one of my favorite childhood games

>>1418678
thats not cruis'n world. You should be more careful when you select images to upload, people might think you actually meant to post that one.

>ctrl+F
>no results for megaman64
damnit. I know it's a port but come on guys. it came with two exclusive hidden busters.

>>1416948
>>1417816
I have one of these...
was super excited about it too.

It bumps sensitivity up a whole lot, which makes power attacks in Smash and walking in Mario 64 kind of difficult.

It also has this tendency to "lock" toward whichever 8-direction it's closer to.


Jesus how hard can it be to program a joystick

>>1419975

>it came with two exclusive hidden busters.

really? which ones?

>>1417982
BM64 battle mode is the best. I wish the future BM titles would use that formula instead of the classic one.

To this day I still haven't found a racing game I enjoy as much as this.

>>1420681
Both games are pretty much the ultimate scifi racers on the n64. F zero x doesn't even compare.

>>1417936
>>1417951

Loved Bomberman hero. Those random racing (only remember the snowboard one tho) levels were the shit. Also the cat boss battle gave me nightmares

>>1420681
dat soundtrack

>>1417936
>Hero
>that feel when you stop playing it for a while, then come back and can't beat the last Nitros fight because you've forgotten how to play it

>>1418138
One of the best multiplayer titles

>>1416757
I like that this was one of the first games to (mostly) use one huge map. Also, that sewer level with the four-way jumps where you would crash into the other bikers.

>>1415350
Shouryu was such a broken character. Also I don't think anyone even played the "normal" mode, it was always the chibi/RPG game.

>>1416437
Most of the levels can be skipped by wall jumping. It makes it great for speedruns though.

shake shake

This shmup right here. Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth

>>1422307
awesome

>>1422337
This was always one of my favorites on the N64. Too bad I didn't actually own it and had to borrow it from my cousin all the time.

>>1415458
>Chameleon Twist
>bad

How?
I mean, it was beyond crazy sometimes, but I found it incredibly enjoyable.
Hell, even my dad liked it and he hates video games.

>>1416475
Motherfucking Space Station Silicon Valley.
One of my all time favorite N64 games.
Too bad you can't emulate it for shit from what I've seen.

>>1416606
If you have an N64 and you can find it for a decent price, you would not regret picking it up.

>>1422348
yesssss

>>1418028

>Kirby
>Underrated as fuck

This nigga. Every Kirby games are good to play, but I'd be a liar if i said i didn't complete everything after i heard of Zero Two in Smash Bros Brawl.

I thought the endings of Kirby gave way to a sequel, not a real final boss in the end.

>>1422348
You can emulate it perfectly.

>>1417295
RIP Homestar Runner ;_;

Anyway I'm just gonna post my GOAT here (the one that isn't Quake).

>>1417936
own all the N64 bomberman games
even Second Attack

>>1425245
Never heard of that one...

>>1425256
don't blame you. Bomberman 64 the second attack was one of the last games to be released for the N64

>>1417039
"not many" is still a fucking understatement for the N64. jesus christ.

>>1417140
your gf is based. I want to give her a kiss on the cheek if you'd let me :3.

It was good. I even had that poster I think.

oh Club Nintendo, you sure were a fucking propaganda magazine but you did have some neat posters.

>>1422334
my nigga. i didnt know anyboy in person who's played this game before. i recently found a bunch of copies in a dollar bin, and gave copies to all my collector friends

>>1416630
This so much.

I don't understand how people can think it's bad.

>>1425268
>Dat opening bass line

I played Forsaken, Duke Nukem and GoldenEye every damn weekend with my bros.

you like my controller?

>>1416881
I have a gold one.

It's really great for most games, but FPS are incredibly difficult with it and not because of the Dpad, but because the analog is super sensitive.

>>1417936
That game had a kickass soundtrack

>>1426343
There's a version of this that I have with a turbo function on it

>>1426343

I don't, the C-unit buttons are too big and the layout is wrong, how am I supposed to use them as a secondary d-pad in Bangai-O?

>>1416694
I bug tested this game as a summer job with Crystal Dynamics when I was like 14. It wasn't very good to start with but after several hundred hours I can assure you: fuck no. Overrated, more like.

>>1416782
>Only idiots make blanket statements.
>Now, let me make a bunch of blanket statements.

>>1418093
He's right though, the gaming mags did hype it as better than MGS. I can't imagine why they did that. Of course in reality it really is a hell of a lot more fun to play.

>>1418040
One of the few developers to not go downhill after leaving Nintendo.

I thought it was fun

this one?

>>1426718
I've been trying to remember this game for so long! Like ten years, now kidding. I think you just validated my life.

>>1426680
Fuck yes!

>>1426680
I wouldn't really say it's underrated, considering it got around three sequels, but it's still a pretty good game.

>>1426793
Yeah, it's not really underrated as it was obscure as fuck. It was a very strange concept. Basically Yoshi's Island 3D... That's kind of what sparked the idea actually.

>>1426757

It has always been one of my favorite puzzle games and one of those games I pop in and play just about every year.

>>1416764

Had some good times with that.

>>1426389

>tfw diehard Nintendo fan
>tfw think Zelda is incredibly overrated and MGS is one of my favorite series

>>1419835
That was good, it's really too bad the Goemon games never really got any attention stateside. I guess they were too weird for the time. Mystical Ninja was way better IMO, but GGA was still fun as fuck. Still pisses me off that they took the musical numbers out of the US release. Female Impact got its own theme, dammit!

>>1426951
Made me wish that there was an MGS port for the N64 in almost the same vein as RE2 N64. It pretty much fits some of the appropriate criteria as well. Not to say the original PS1 version wasn't awesome (it was), but just saying.

>>1426826
>BattleTanx
>Underrated.

Is this real? This might be one of the best action games for the system.

Also while basic, it's story was awesome. It was a shame 2's single players sucked so much.

>>1422334
>>1426225

Muh niggas

Lathyrus best ship


Venidium plebs go home

>>1426951

>thinks OoT is just OK, Majora's Mask is better
>surprised to be alive after saying that in outside the Internets a few times

>>1425245
Second Attack might actually be one of my favorite games on the system. I went back to it recently and, while it definitely didn't live up to my nostalgia, the amount of love I had for it when I was a kid will never really fade.

The multiplayer modes can get fucking insane though. It's pretty frequent that there's so much stuff going on that I can't even keep track of it all. IMO it's by far the best multiplayer Bomberman has ever had, and I think it's a shame they went back to the more traditional gameplay in later titles.

>>1422829
An amazing game that felt on par with Mario 64 to me as a kid, with its 3D world exploration and combat. I seem to get a lot of slow-down when I try to emulate it though, makes it hard to play.

>>1426426
it's a decent game. I had the regular CV64 game.

both are still better than Lords of Shadow in my opinion. They did well with the platforming.

>>1426260
nobody sane thinks it's bad. the only thing that was bad were character animations and muddy graphics. Apart from that awesome soundtrack and the really archaic medieval atmosphere and great storyline starting with a caravan getting raided, the only bad thing was that the sequel Shadowgate Rising was never released and that not enough people bought Trials of the Four Towers. It's sad though. I think that if Karl Roelofs and Dave Marsh and Kemco actually released this game on Playstation 1 instead, they would have gotten much more praise and most likely more sales.

>>1416925
its pretty comfy imo but i think people say that because you can't reach all the buttons at once. you are either using the dpad or the analog stick for most games, but not both.

>>1422348
I played it through with Project64. The only problem is that you can't reach he bonus stage without cheats, but that's also impossible in the original game.

Oh and it's a great game.

As a kid playing Doom I was a little scared, mainly just anticipating danger of enemies popping up when I touch an item, or the distant grunts and snarls of enemies further in the level. It was rational fear of a danger that could "kill" me, I wasn't shitting bricks hysterically or anything.

If I were younger and grew up on Doom 64 I'd probably have PTSD. The atmospheric soundtrack replacing the heavy metal, and the darkness and relatively clearer visuals make the game creepy as fuck even as an adult.

My problem with N64 is that there are so many games like the ones posted in this thread that just aren't available in stores. Every independent game store or car boot sale just sells sports games, GoldenEye, and Mario Kart.

When I get some dosh, I'm gonna have to expand my collection on a serious level, maybe even get a Us and/or JP N64 too.
For some reason the average N64 game is so much more interesting and playable than the average modern game for PS3/360, and the latter are often much cheaper too.

>>1428345
I'm so glad I didn't play through DooM 64 as a kid, I was scared shitless of the Spider Mastermind and Cyberdemon.

>>1416475
I want to play this so badly but I don't have a Jumper Pack.

>>1416725
>download the original one because I just got an Everdrive 64
>takes up 121 pages on a Memory Card
For what fucking purpose?

>>1422307
Shame everyone I talked to about the N64 and its games never seemed to know about this one. Still have my copy with save data from years ago.

>>1426375
It's more meant for fighters and other games that use them with the A and B buttons as a six button Genesis pad.

>>1429089

only fighters on n64 are 3D and i don't think they use more than A / B / Z or R

you're right about games using them for things other than camera control, that was mostly just for platformers

I loved this game as a kid.

>>1426793
One sequel.

We do not talk about SPM or Sticker Star.

>>1429096
Mortal Kombat Trilogy is on N64.

>Can't move around while egg aiming
Yoshi's Story blows m8.

>>1420681
Oh my god i fucking love this game

What, no love for this? It's easily the best version of the game, so much so that the arcade sequel has many of the enhancements made for the N64 version rather than the PSX or DC version.

>>1429356
Dark Legacy exists

>>1429394
And?

>>1429397
Legends is still good, just irrelevant since Dark Legacy IS Legends + a ton of extra content.

>>1429398
And? This isn't a thread about underrated Gamecube games. It's a thread about underrated N64 games.

>>1429356
My fucking nigga

This game right here. Had many hours of fightan good times with my best friend with this game. Every spend the night party we had with all the neighbor hood guys we would busy this out and play 2 player. Whoever won got to heep playing and whoever lost passed the controller. It got to the point where one of my buds was so good it was pretty much us trying to beat him all night. He used this cheap ass yellow taffy mother fucker. So many memories with this game and I've not met a lot of people who've never even heard of it.

>>1429434
What game?

>>1429587
It's a different game for everyone, anon. You have to use your imagination.

>>1429596
My imagination is dead. I play video games.

>>1429083

I can't even beat the first level. I don't "get" how the game works.

>>1429356
FOOD IS GOOD

>>1429356
I've seen that game at pawn shops, never bothered to pick it up, though it did look interesting. Is it good? What is it anyways?

>>1416764
The fucking music for that game was GOTY.

>>1417936
Didn't like the game, but that ducking OST was the most bomb-ass shit on the N64.

>>1418128
Damn yeah, great game! My brother sold our copy though.

Dat Alien car

>>1429140
Fuck me I loved this too, I'm sure it was awful but I had so much fun with it and I'd never even seen the movie.

The sound effects were great, never managed to get past the ionic hanging on a rope level though. It handled like arse from what I remember.

>>1430060
If you've ever played any of the original Gauntlet arcade or NES games, it's basically that, but in 3D, powerups and with saving to the memory card.

Like >>1429398 said though, Dark Legacy is basically the N64 version of Legends with more content and a different order to the levels.

>>1422334
It's alright.
People probably overlook it because it's basically the only shmup on the N64 aside from Dezaemon 64. Meanwhile there are dozens and dozens of much better shmups on the Saturn and PSX, so anyone who cared about shmups had one of those systems instead.
The Saturn and PSX had Darius Gaiden, G-Darius, Gradius Gaiden, R-Type Delta, DoDonPachi, Radiant Silvergun, Soukyugurentai, Einhander, Battle Garegga, Batsugun, RayForce, Strikers 1945 II, Raiden DX, all of which are generally considered to be some of the best shmups ever made.
On top of that there's shitloads of generally well liked and very notable games, such as Harmful Park, DonPachi, RayStorm, RayCrisis, In The Hunt, Thunder Force V, Cotton 2, Cotton Boomerang, Zanac X Zanac, Sexy Parodius, Oshaberi Parodius, Twinkle Star Sprites, Shippu Mahou Daisakusen, and so on, as well as many great ports of games from earlier generations.
Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth simply cannot compete with all that. It is impossible.

>>1416694
I didn't learn until years later that the N64 version was a port of the (original) PS1 version. All I know is I grew up hating this game with a passion because of how unpolished the environment looked and how shit the controls were. But the PS1 version is apparently a console classic, so maybe I should pick it up...

>>1431362
>But the PS1 version is apparently a console classic

Somebody lied to you.

>>1431362
It's a mediocre game on the PSX as well.

>>1416761
thAT FUCKING GAME

>>1431372
Oh. Well then.

>>1431362
It's because there's a lot more room for Gex's trademark quips.

>>1415327

I loved Yoshi's Story. I didn't even realize how much other people enjoyed it until later in life.

>>1416750

1080 was dope.

Also, pic related is in my opinion the greatest N64 game of all time, so it's always gonna be underrated.

>>1431372

It may not have aged, but he's right in a way. Gex was talked about a shitload back in the day. It was a big game.

>>1415327


Yoshi's Story sucked and fucked over the Yoshi franchise for years.

I still think Conker's Bad Fur Day is underrated by most people. Although some of the fan base are idiots, there seems to be a lot of hostility if you talk about it being an all time great game. Heck even a lot of the fan base fail to realize what is great about the game, or why the writing was so great.

even when i was a kid and enjoyed gex's dumb jokes and stuff, i still managed to recognize how horrible and trashy the game looked and played. there was something just weird and off about it

but i kept playing anyway because i was a kid. i think it had a handful of neat ideas, but almost all of them were done better elsewhere

>>1431472
If by talked about you mean "I rented Gex once. It was awful" then I guess so.

It's like Chameleon Twist. That game everyone rented and nobody owned.

For all the things it did horribly wrong, it was very ambitious. I for one was immersed
