/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5141850
Why do you think they called it Famicom?

>Atari
>Japanese

>>5141859
Look up Yakazumi corporation, jackass.

>>5141851
>famiry compruter
wow, checks out. TIL

>>5141850
>>5141886
THAT'S WHY THEY CALLED IT FAMICOM
Familcom? No.
Famiclom? No.
Famicom? Yes.

>>5141846
Goddamn Atari was founded by Bushnell in Goddamn 1972. Japan didn't start making video game consoles until 1975. Get your facts straight, or go back to /v/.

>>5141846
Serious contender for worst thread I've ever seen on /vr/.

>>5141846
I’m loving these “millennials rewriting gaming history” threads we’ve been having lately. So fucking funny!

Keep playing your “Sega Base Systems” and “Control Decks” everybody!

>>5141982
I seriously don't know how /vr/ became of this.

>>5141984
I don’t know. I think it started with that “it was never called PSX” stuff and spiraled out of control from there.

>>5141846
>atari
>based in japan
Nah, kiddo. That's not true.

inb4 OP tries to play it off as trolling

It's always been referred to as "PSX" around here. Try opening a book for once zoomers.

>>5141850
Famiry computer. Checks out.

>>5141982
Ok, but for real though, it was atari vcs. Not 2600

In america, it was never called "SNES" by either by nintendo or by consumers. Normal people called it "super nintendo" and nintendo would shorten it to "super NES" in their advertisements and what have you. Never SNES, at least not in America

>>5142170

>>5142182
Wasnt rebranded that until the 5200 launched, 5 years into its lifespan. This is like saying the Playstation was always called PSone

>>5142136
wtf you pull the eraser out and slide it in that end...

>>5142198
>durrr just pull da eraser out
Then how would you erase things, dumbass?

>>5142174
Everyone I knew, including myself, pronounced it “snezz”. I was actually there at the time, unlike you.

>>5142174
Black african americans called it Super Nintendo. Source? Biggy Smalls.

>>5142208
I said in america, eurocuck. Even today, nobody here pronounces SNES as "snezz" with a Z. That's a britbong thing

>>5142212
I can't picture this.

>>5142189
>This is like saying the Playstation was always called PSone
Which absolutely no one is saying.

>>5142218
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man, I couldn't picture this

>>5142228
So we're in agreement. It was atari VCS, rebranded to 2600 only after its successor was coming out

>>5142231
>It was atari VCS, rebranded to 2600 only after its successor was coming out
Was this even in contention?

>>5142232
No, but goalpost-movers gotta move

>>5142232
Why are you @ing me

>>5142239
I don't think anyone was debating the fact that, prior to 1982, it was the Video Computer System. I'm just waiting to see how you're going to connect this to "no one called it the 2600" which is apparently the hot new "trigger the grown ups" meemay.

>>5142243
It wasnt the 2600 at the time. That wasnt until later, from 82 onward. Is this in contention?

>>5142254
Reread the post you just replied to. Carefully this time.

And you know why the japanese named these companies Nintendo and Sega? To make fun of anglos who can't ever pronounce vowels consistently.
Every time they hear an anglo say "Say ger" or "Neentawndew" they secretly chuckle, but you can never notice because japanese politeness.
However, the ones that really wanted to play anglos are Atlus. "Shin Megami Tensei", these guys are savages.

>>5142258
Im just going to take that as a yes and you're just being purposefully difficult

>>5142272
I'm really not sure how you could've misunderstood anything in my post.

>>5142263
yeah service games was really trying to fuck over americans with their name...

>>5142284
How do you pronounce it anyway? Say gar? Sea guh? Seh-Gay?

>>5142287
ever play a sega game? they kind of fucking tell you how it's pronounced right as the game boots up.

>>5142290
Yeah but it sounds nothing like the first syllabes on "Service" and "games".

>>5142294
it's not meant to, that would be fucking stupid.

>>5142296
Then your argument about "Service games" is kind of broken.
Anglos still can't pronounce Sega without making japanese chuckle.

>>5142297
>Anglos still can't pronounce Sega without making japanese chuckle.
Somehow I doubt it, since it was originally an American company and a portmanteau of two English words.

>>5142304
SAY GURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

>>5142306
Who pronounces it this way?

>>5142307
Some anglos (brits I think).
Then australians pronounce Sea-guh.
Americans, depends on the region.
Anglos' vowel pronounciation is all over the place. Don't ask me.

>>5142309
Oh, so why do the Japanese chuckle about it then?

>>5142313
It's funny.

>>5142313
they don't, this is all just a pathetic attempt at trolling.

>>5142317
Yeah, that's what I figured.

>>5142317
>>5142318
Don't be awngree, aenglow friends.

Someone is trolling on a troll thread? Woe is me

>>5142328
>Someone is trolling on a troll thread?
Nope, at least not yet. So far it's been kid failing pretty hard.

>>5142329
Your seriousness makes me think you got trolled.

>>5142331
no u

>>5142328
>>5142329
I wasn't trolling.
It's true that anglos have a weird vowel pronunciation and japanese think it's funny.
So what about it? It's just how you laugh at them about the L/R thing.

>>5142334
>It's true that anglos have a weird vowel pronunciation and japanese think it's funny.
No, that's not true at all.
>It's just how you laugh at them about the L/R thing.
Who is "you"?

>>5142334
and yet the japanese sound like retarded children when speaking an anglophone language. can't even say massachusetts without becoming a stuttering wreck.

>>5142338

>>5142263
>>5142297
Vowels are basically interchangeable in many languages, which is how different English speaking accents swap the vowels around. They're all just open-mouth joining-vocalizations on a spectrum. Consonants are where the real meat of pronunciation lies.

>>5142336
>No, that's not true at all.
>>5142338
lol that's true too.

>>5142345
>No, that's not true at all.
Correct. It's not true at all. Glad we agree on that.

>>5142346
Why are you so defensive, anglo-kun?

It's like that spoiled kid nobody likes.

ITT: some kid gets called out for bullshitting and tries to play it off like epic trolling. Everyone raffs.

>>5142364
I wasn't trolling though. Neither was OP.
Japanese pronunce L and R funny, and anglos pronunce vowels funny.
Why can't we just laugh at how different people pronunciate?

>>5142368
>t. totally not both a fat (anglo) and the OP

>>5142368
>Neither was OP.

what the fuck is going on in this thread

>>5142380
just trivia about pronunciation

>>5142374
fuck off ugly. your mom so stupid she thought Instagram was unit of measurements

>>5141984
>I seriously don't know how /vr/ became of this.

All of 4chan is affected by this. It's because rule #3 states that you cannot do anything fun. You are only allowed to make sophisticated, insightful threads. So the only thing left around is for people to come up with the most outrageous troll topics possible to get more (you)'s.

Some boards like /toy/ are less affected because they deal with actual physical things that cost money. /vr/ has it much worse since it deals with very old and often very basic games, that appeal to less and less people over time (consider that for a person who just hit 18, the PS2 would already be retro).

>>5142435
who actually plays retro games? autistic people, old bags who can't let go of the past, and poorfags who can't afford a ps4. this board should just be deleted, it only attracts boomers and contrarian scum.

>>5142445
>and poorfags who can't afford a ps4
You realize many retro games are more expensive than a shitty ps4, right?

>>5142449
maybe if you're a "fisikul meatyuh ownly!!!!!" autist. faggots who don't emulate because they want muh authentic experience should really just go get laid or something.

>>5141850
OH YES FAMIRY COMPRUTR

>>5142449
>You realize many retro games are more expensive than a shitty ps4, right?

yeah, they cost you a blank CDR to burn them at most, or a $50 flashcart + SD card.

>>5142454
Well yeah, many people here collect.
>>5142464
There are everdrives that might be more expensive than a PS4, lol
You could have at least said a high-end gaymin PC. Any average joe can afford a PS4.

>>5142479
and many people here are fat, autistic no-lifes who should kill themselves. what's your point?

>>5142485
My point is that people who get angry because other people are able to afford having a hobby and collect stuff should reevaluate their lifes, especially when they project about stuff like being fat and having no life.

>>5142449
the people who buy a $600 NES game don't buy it to play its for nerd cred

>>5142491
triggered fatty detected. some life advice from someone who didn't fall off the boat in their teenage years:
hit the weights
improve your diet
go the fuck outside
get some pussy.

>>5142494
Maybe, maybe not.

>>5142495
>go the fuck outside
Funny advice from a guy who is currently being angry about other people buying things on an internet message board.

>>5142497
posting from my phone amigo. nice attempt at deflection though.

>>5142501
I'm phoneposting like a zoomer too.
The problem, though, is that you're still angry about other people being able to afford stuff.

>>5142506
>you don't waste money on useless, obsolete kids' toys? you must be a le poorfag xD
why are you physical-only autists so predictable? it's annoying. i can't have a proper debate with someone pre-programmed to endlessly repeat his stale rhetoric over and over like some kind of brainless idiot.

>>5142515
I'm not a collector myself though. I like some retro games and some modern games too.
I play some physical (because I never sold my consoles, so I still have my old stuff) but I also emulate if needed.
Again, you're just angry that other people enjoy things. You should reevaluate your life.

>>5142523
nice switchover. very jewish.

>>5142529
I never implied I was a collector myself. I just said that some people might buy games that are worth more than a filthy PS4. In fact, I do own games that are worth more than a PS4 (but the difference is that I bought them back in the day, for $50 or so when they were new).
Again, if you really wanted to make fun of "poorfags", you should have gone with a high-end PC, not a PS4, lol.

>>5142536
jewish niggas be like

>>5142541
Sorry I don't speak zoomer.

>>5142545
and I don't speak Hebrew.

>>5142552
But you were the one making fun of "poorfags" for not being able to afford a PS4 (lol), not me.

God this thread's a fucking mess.

>>5142598
Wait till that guy shows up, who thinks Streets of Rage 3 is the best in the series and 2 is a broken buggy incomplete mess.

>>5142229
The real song is called "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume, 1982.
B.I.G. changed the name, just like SEGA did with the SEGA System.

>>5142598
Kids tend to not tolerate "boomers" correcting their misinformation. They get enough of adults telling them their business in their daily lives, between home and school or any McJob they might be old enough to have. Additionally, they fetishize this stuff. It's the relics from some "golden age" they weren't around for, so they tend to make up what they imagine it must've been like based on Youtube videos and a healthy dose of wishful thinking. When that gets challenged by people who were actually there, they start doing this weird meme shit. Much like the "PSX" stuff and "Zelda II didn't sell." The best part is that even though it's born out of a scorching case of asshurt, they can just hide behind "we were just le trolling" when they get backed into a corner.

Threads like these remind me that no matter what, humans will always find reasons to bicker with each other.

>>5142878
Anonymous posting was a mistake.

>>5142905
In your opinion.

>>5142136
i just read moby dick and Melville mentioned nothing of this

>>5142212
what did white african americans call it tho

>>5142208
>immediately jumps to senior superiority

Icky. There are better ways to make yourself feel confident. Maybe adopt a friendlier disposition, yeah? It goes a long way for both yourself and those you interact with. But yeah, the pronunciation is a regional thing.

>>5141846

>>5145325
Dunno. Call Dave Matthews and ask.

>>5141887
Absolutely none of those work in Japanese. No words (even a portmanteau like Famicom) end with consonants besides N

>>5142208
Yup i was there and it was called Snezz

Why didn't I post this rather than my fpbp?

https://youtu.be/PKXr_DbqHsU

We could've avoided a whole lotta shitposting.

>>5142208
I was there and it was called the Super Nintendo because the NES was the Nintendo. Go back to bed with your Amiga monstrosity. Fucking degenerates...

>>5146493
I was also there and it wasn't called anything because the one kid who had it in preference to a Mega Drive smelled funny and nobody wanted to engage him in conversation.

>>5146493
mate, everyone just called both as "the Nintendo" over here, same way everyone called the Megadrive as "the Sega".

>>5142263
Nips don't even have vowels. The concept is foreign to them. They have vowel/consonant pairs.
