too bad the US Saturn had almost no games

Probably this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-wXWvPM3Ng

The Saturn one's pretty snazzy though.

>>1444196
Is my all time favorite. The Dreamcast runs a close second.

It's not hard to have the best retro start up, most consoles didn't have a start up
Gameboy gets mine though

>>1444196

>>1444340
ST-V is best.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHoElQ7vvTI

>>1444196
Though that is a close second, this will always be in my heart http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ycxmRZ66-kI

PS1. Just heard it recently. Been like 15 years. The FEELS.

>>1444196
The nostalgia I just experienced when listening to the playstation 1 startup was intense!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9mOjHzTFiQ
I still remember when I first got my Dreamcast. That day was amazing.

>>1444340
This.

Although, I would say that the Japanese lettering with the US blue and silver Saturn logo would be the ultimate.

The Neo Geo CD start up is excellent too.

>>1445250
Dude, what?

If it's any sega console it will be genesis.

>>1444340
The US one just sounds more timeless in my opinion.

>>1444196
NOW LISTEN HERE NIGGERS

I don't think this really qualifies as a startup screen.

The Saturn and DC both have memorable startup screens. The Naomi one is simple but nice too.

>>1445424
That's not a startup screen. That's just the Sega logo on one of the Sonic games.

>>1445081
you have my vote
after viewing all the embeds, this one give me the most feels
but then, it was my first

>>1445429
I'm pretty sure that's what he was talking about. The "SEGA" voice sample was used more than once.

>>1445032

There really is something about that PS1 startup screen...it just sounds so warm and inviting.

>>1445424
That reminds me, the Master System version of that is pretty great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y__7MBPt78E

And then there's the Japanese version... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0zW1ZfuS6E

Looks like the only one fond of the N64 start up

>>1445446
I gotta admit I fucking hate the SEGA voice sample

Not /vr/, but

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGG BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>1444196
Never forget.

>>1445446
It's not a startup screen though. It doesn't show that when you start up every game on the console.

>>1445382
ma nigga! the feels when I hear the Q-sound boot hits me right in the feels. Mega CD, Dreamcast and PS1 are good ones as well.

Here's a .gif
Enjoy

>That Ding

gtg fast

Sega-CD. Just sounds fuckin' cool.

>>1447319
here's a .gif for you

Either US Saturn or this

this is wonderful

I really enjoyed this Capcom logo in PS1 titles. Makes me wanna replay Mega Man Legends.

>people in the comments keep saying "omg sonic retro music!"
>don't know what that means but it is probably a faggot youtuber
>music is from Space Harrier

OK.

>>1449181
WELCOME TO THE FANTASY ZONE!
GET READY!

It's kind of a bummer that the Vita/PS4 don't have a boot screen. They just flash the PS logo at boot, and that's it - no jingle or nothing.

It would be cool if they let you pick legacy boot screens in the future, but I seriously doubt they'll do that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbdCKo9oa3o always my favorite.

>>1449221

Sony doesn't even acknowledge it, just hear how neutered the startup sound for the PSN rereleases is.

I like to play my RETRO games on this so it counts ok..

>>1449830
That isn't retro yet, but...

>those console noises in the background

Anyone know what kind of synthesizer was used for the PS1 sound?

>>1444196
>>1444196
it was the sound I hate after hearing it so many times, it ended pretty nicely but that fucked up start was too much after awhile.
also this is the definitive startup, it never get's tiresome.

>>1445095
you'll never get the innocence of that time back anon. never.

>MFW getting a disc read error on my PS2 for the first time

>>1444340
I've never had a saturn, so my only experience with it is an emulator. So now every time I see that start up screen all I can remember is horrible fucking lag for the damn thing to do anything and how pain in the ass and somewhat buggy it is.

>>1445250
>dat music

http://youtu.be/AYt9MR5f4xw
Probably the only system boot I care even with the abysmal load times. Text while loading was a good move.

>>1449830
My favorite console of all time. It'll be a sad day if/when my OG dies and I lose my saves ;_;

>>1451916
Buy one of dem memory cards, bro!

>>1452003
I think I have one of them laying around somewhere. The problem is you can't transfer some game saves like the Ninja Gaidens and DOAs because Tecmo had a hard-on for copy-protected saves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHBTVrZF-qo
Gotta love all those effects.

contibutan with my favorite

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iQfoM6mzUA

>>1444196
But it's not, the sound is especially grating. The Dreamcast boot screen is by far my favorite, the GBA's is my second.

>>1452871
>the sound is especially grating

>>1452527
Man, I loved that little handheld. It's a shame it had an early death like the Dreamcast.

I remember looking forward to the Megaman game it was gonna get that a magazine talked about, only to later find out it's import only...

>>1444196
This, by far:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-wXWvPM3Ng

Why? It's probably the first game console start-up screen. The fact that the system had lasted so long made it a prominent and relevant startup screen longer than anything else has. Combination of catchiness, minimalism, "looks professional", nostalgia and the fact that people still see it today. It's just there and always has been there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4ssRKE0CG4

>>1452910
And there's no vocals, but you can clearly sing along. "Ne-o ge-o, From S-N-K!"

>>1452951
I was about to call you crazy until I rewatched it:

>Neo-Geo logo transforms as the first 4 notes play

>SNK logo only appears while the last 3 notes play

The sound got stuck in my head.

>>1453370

There's nothing more magical than a console startup sound that you grew up with. Start up sounds from consoles that you didn't grow up with being in a close second.

>>1453370
That's when you knew you were gonna play a good fuckin' game.

>>1453138

>>1453395
>>1449113
>>1449103
>>1447319

These are easily my favorites, and are the best in my humble opinion

How has nobody mentioned this one yet?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F_vTOZQLxY
I don't have a Famicom Disk System, nor a Famicom in general, but goddamn it, I want to get both JUST to hear that jingle.

>>1444196
The first Xbox had the very best imo. I would also say dreamcast had a good one.

Can't call it Xbox 1 now since Microsoft went full retard so I guess its referred to as the Xbox Hueg now right?

>>1454348
Here is the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbdCKo9oa3o

Even the menu looks great.

It's a close tie for me between the PS1 and Sega Dreamcast, but I'll give it to the PS1 because of the games.

I don't get how Sony went so wrong, the PS2 "splash screen" looked and sounded creepy like every game was going to be horror. The PS3 was completely forgettable, and the PS4 is so boring.

>>1444196

>Never said what kind of start-up
>Implying this doesn't beat everything

>>1454440
>implying that beats anything

>>1452502
Yeah, I ran into that problem too, so I just saved whatever I could. I think there were even a few PS2 games that were copy-protected like that.

>tfw my MKDA/MKD/MKA save files with like ~100 h invested into them are not backed up in any way

Can't you just buy like a USB flash drive and use it for data storage? I think the system will need to reformat it for the Xbox format or whatever, but afterwards, couldn't you just theoretically load NG from the HD and then immediately save to the flash drive?

>>1453283
u wot m8

>>1449134

This.

>>1454426
I love the PS2 startup! All the floating lights and stone pillars and airy sounds. It gives me a really mystical feel.

And it makes soothing ocean noises if you leave it on the main screen.

>>1454619
MK games are the only ones I've seen to have a save protection. Couldn't care less as I've just beat them for the sake of doing so.

>>1454694
Mortal Kombat? I'm pretty sure I've downloaded save files for PS2 Mortal Kombats so that friends and I could use all the characters in VS without beating Arcade mode over and over.

>>1454660

That's not soothing. Are you crazy? that's not soothing at all. Do you know what kinds of horrors live in the ocean that we know about?!

>>1454771

>>1454694
It took me like a year of on-and-off playing to unlock everything in MKDA. Aside from the very end where I had to grind for onyx and diamond koins, I had a blast doing it. MK is my favorite franchise of all time, so reading through all of those little developer commentaries and looking at long-forgotten concept art of things left on the cutting room floor was endlessly fascinating to me. It was like being locked up in a toy store.

It's such a shame that the Krypt in MK9 was so soulless in comparison.

>inb4 not retro

Back in the day I got by with shareware discs. The apogee logo is made of good feels.

>>1454798

>>1452910
My nigga

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=90yY0hOHzHE#t=34

Loved this one.

Da na na na, na na na... da na na na, na naaa naaa na na...

>>1454924
Okay, that was kinda cute once you get over the initial heart attack.

I remember what it was like at the MKO boards once the first Krypt footage was released. Everyone was losing their shit over how HOLY SHIT GUISE DO YOU HEAR HOW THE KRYPT IS NOW A WHOLE COUNTRY!1!

The actual unlockables themselves were so bland, though.Those little developer comments added so much life to the game.

>>1455228
>initial heart attack

Previous filename was my reaction the first (and every subsequent) time that happened. Totally agree that the unlockables were bullshit - the real unlockables were DLC.

>mfw a sonygger nostalgia'd all over the place near me

>>1444305
Man, the Saturn bootup was so much better than the Sony one. The Playstation had two triangles moving a bit on a diamond. The Saturn had your TV reverse-explode into billion flying fragments that all piled together to form a screen-blinding Saturn logo.

And don't get me started on how much better the Saturn cd player was, holy shit.

>>1445382
>This blast of nostalgia
Thanks for reminding me how awesome Capcom used to be. I think I'll go drink myself into a coma now.

>>1453370
Oh god the feels. Come back to us, Konami!

>>1445250

>It's probably the first game console start-up screen.
Famicom Disk System was earlier.

>>1458471
And even if it weren't, the Sega Master System, Genesis and the Game Boy all had one before it.

>>1458474
Did the Genesis have the TMSS screen before 1990?

You're right about the SMS, though. I'm used to playing those on my Genesis so I never saw the BIOS screen.
