/vr/ - Retro Games

When I first played Super Butoden 2 around 1995, on TV they were still airing Dragon Ball, Red Ribbon or Piccolo saga.
I didn't know who ANY of the characters were, and was confused that Goku can't be choosen (you can with a secret code, but I didn't knew that back then).

It was balling though, I loved playing the game and imagining what DBZ would be like. Some time later I started buying the manga and watching the movies on VHS, before they started airing DBZ in 1998.

Not exactly a long-running anime but the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fighting game is pretty fun, and the recent anime is now into the part that the game took place in (Stardust Crusaders)

A PlayStation game from 2000 based on an anime from 1984

A Famicom game from 1992 based on a manga from 1974.

The game is fun, but I hate the fucking art style, both in the game and the cartoon

>there will never be a stellvia game that takes you to that age of innocence and exploration

I think it's kinda trippy seeing something relatively modern like One Piece have a /vr/ game. Even trippier considering it's been running from 1997, I thought it was newer than that.

And both were developed by Natsume.

Same here. It's funny how some children(now adults)have nostalgic memories for the series in Japan around the same time I was playing the PS1 and N64. It's a trip seeing a coherent screenshot of the PS1 game.

For those in this thread, I highly recommend the Sailor Moon games. They're all insanely fun and the RPG even has a full translation.

There was a One Piece fighting game on the Wonderswan that went up to the fight with Crocodile, I think. It DID sort of eventually release over here, but as an adventure game for the GBA with Luffy as the only playable character. It also only covered the East Blue saga.

farewell my waifu ;_;

I would not recommend the Ranma ½ fighting game for ps1.

It plays like a really bland version of Tekken 2.

>>2207837

Yeah, that's one horrible game.

Not really anime but still, are there any decent games on the Kamen rider franchise? I've been playing through the climax heroes series and so far they all rock

>>2207837
The 3rd SFC fighter is pretty good though

>>2207734
damnit, Oda...

Try the PlayStation games. Most of these games are from the early Heisei Rider series but there are also two Showa based games

>>2208468

Agreed. I still play it to this day. The RPG is also fantastic.

>>2208440
Kuuga, Agito, and Ryuki for the PS1.

Agito was the best IMO of the three games.

The Slayers RPG was pretty good but I'm not sure if that counts as a long-running anime

>>2210959
If you can into Japanese (no translations out) I'd recommend the Saturn RPGs and the PS1 game too.

And it's pretty long-running-ish, it had two new seasons ~2007.

>>2210959
well it was originally a sort of loving satire of the genre so you'd have to expect it not to be terrible

they did make a continuation of the series in like, 2009

>>2206869
to be fair, the manga is going on 30+ years now I think.

>>2210969
its not a manga it's a series of light novels

there is totally a manga though it doesn't nearly cover all the material

>>2208440

Not retro but I most definitely reccomend the Battride War games for PS3. First one is pretty rough gameplay-wise, but they polished and overhauled for the second. They really capture the feel of being a Kamen Rider and each character has their unique gimmick and you can simulate their fighting style pretty well.

They are musou-likes so hopefully you're into the genre. I'd think most of /vr/ would be though since musous are some of the only ongoing series that still feel "gamey".

Anyways, the only downside is no Showa riders. Maybe next game...

>>2210959
>but I'm not sure if that counts as a long-running anime


It had 3 26 episode series and a shit ton of movies and OVA plus a couple 13 episode series recently. It counts

>>2208440
You can try something from Compati Heroes series (crossover between Kamen Rider, Ultraman and Gundam), there are tons of games from sumo wrestling on Famicom to first person dungeon crawlers on 3DS.
