/vr/ - Retro Games

I fucking adore the G&W series, some of the best handheld games you can get next to Tetris. They're that good.

>>4776415
>2018
>current handheld has two screens
>STILL no all in one game & watch collection

I don't even care if it's just the classic versions. This bums me out.

I had Game & Watch Gallery 3 and it was easily my favourite game for the GBC.

>>4776448

I think that's probably the best one of the retro ones

>>4776415
It was one of the few GB games I had as a kid, I can still play Egg like a master. It's just perfect, hypnotic fun.

I never got the appeal of Game & Watch stuff. It's too simplistic.

>>4776671
Easy to pick up and play to keep your hands busy for a while. It's what the original devices were designed for. I'm not about to take super mario land to the dentists office where I might need to stop halfway through a level when my name is called.

>3DS
>No fully realized Virtual Wario Land.
Nintendo likes to sleep on these things for some reason.

>>4776756
A real shame, moreover when the last good Wario platffomer was Wario Land 4, which was released in 2001.

The modern versions on the game and watch gallery games are the best way to play them

Classic Vermin > Everything else

>>4776820

modern vermin>classic vermin

its ok. would be a lot better if they were all together in the same game

>>4777504

I'm surprised Nintendo never did that on the DS/3DS

>>4777640
In a way, I'm glad they haven't. All things considered, Nintendo has re-released a lot of stuff more than once already. Plus, I'm sure the new generation of gamers don't even know what G&W are outside of smash bros.
It would make more sense to take advantage of the mini console market and start recreating G&W handhelds for scalpers to buy and fix prices on. More profit to be made that way.

All three of them on GBC are really fun.

I loved Modern Oil Panic, Donkey Kong, and Bridge.

>>4776817
Better than MAME on a high resolution screen?

>>4776820
Vermin and Ball were easily my favorites

>>4779205

I liked modern fire, donkey kong, helmet, turtle bridge, octopus and mario bros the best

Modern Chef > everything you like.

This is not an opinion but a fact.

>>4776415
My first game for the GBC was Game&Watch 3, I still play it every now and then. The OST and sound design are great, the game does a good job showing off the sound chip.

>Game & Watch Gallery 3
Bought this on a whim when visiting family when I was a little kid. Good memories

I got Game & Watch Gallery 2 along with an Atomic Purple GBC for christmas one year. Played it so damn much, Helmet and Chef especially

>>4776415
i miss playing the original game and watches. but damnn. prices of them now are a bit silly.

>>4781715
>When the chef drops food to the fror

>>4781732
My dad actually stumbled onto two of them at a thrift store and gave me them. One is bombs away and the other is a hockey game.

Helmet > Donkey Kong > Chef > Vermin > Ball > Parachute

>>4779263
You only like because Peach is cute when she gets mad.

>>4782905

ball wasn't very fun compared to the rest of those

These games make me weirdly nostalgic. It's nice seeing the Mario characters in "normal" situations like being chefs and firefighters. Brings me back to when the Mario Bros. were just plumbers from Brooklyn.

>playing modern Oil Panic
>mfw you overshoot Yoshi's reach

>you will never unlock Zelda in G&W Gallery 4

>>4776415
bought this game because of the cover. Disappointed I couldn't play Bowser.

It's pretty good, but I don't think most children really like these types of games (anymore) despite what old fucks may say otherwise.

>>4784373
let's be honest even old folks have trouble deriving enjoyment out of gen 2 score attack type games.

>>4784386

some of the classic versions are pretty rough, but the modern versions are cool

I've played 1 and 3 I think?

it's been a while so I'll have to find my old case of Gameboy games and try them on my GBA

>It's pretty good, but I don't think most children really like these types of games (anymore) despite what old fucks may say otherwise.
There are thousands of these types of games on the app store though. The secret is that they have to be insanely difficult and have a progression. G&W games only problem is that the games are really slow and boring until you reach 500-700 points.

>playing modern octopus
>gets hit by the ink

>>4776415
I don't know a single thing about Game and Watch games.

>>4776415
Used to love the cooking game as a kid.

>>4776415
No, I had the discount ones.
