It's not surprising if you pay attention to the board. /vr doesn't play games, they barely even talk about playing games. All they care about is music and graphics and OP's first console was at the earliest an N64, more likely a PS2 or 3 so all he sees is limited art assets and thus no games worth time.

Surprisingly it's not really an issue (far less so than Metroid 2 for example) because it's very much like the regular games where it's usually pretty clear if you need to make a jump. I wouldn't even really call it a platformer, it's certainly nothing at all like Mario etc.

Actually the NES could probably render these images, although it would need the MMC5 mapper since the GBC can plot down background palettes to 8*8 spaces, while the NES by default is limited to 16*16 spaces. The top right screen seems to use 5/6 background palettes while the NES could do up to four. That and there's also the fact that developers have had a decade's worth of experience with pixel art, whereas the NES was made during the birth.

Don't divide the clock by the minimum cycles, it's disingenious.
It was an 8MHz cpu with every instruction taking a minimum of 4 cycles. The 6502 could only do very basic register operations in 1 cycle, most took 2 or 3. In raw instruction throughput the GBC was superior.

In high school, in the library, Carlos and I said juicy or toxic as a way of evaluating girls.

Tfw took good care of my Gamecube Gameboy Player and the disc that went with it.

Glad someone else appreciates Seasons as a top tier Zelda and sees Ages as the boring piece of junk that it is

Use GB interface already my dude. This shitty disc is not only overpriced but also quite inferior to gbi.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can't be bothered to do that shit with the SD card and all that, and why would I be concerned about the price when I already have owned the disc since it came out?

Yeah I feel like these guys must be pretty new to the internet, if you havent seen the millions of clickbait articles repurposing the word in the last 4-5 years then you probably havent spent much time online, you dont even need to have used 4chan to get that.

Pokemon crystal
Warioland 2 and 3
LA DX
Oracle of ages and seasons

This is all really need to justify the console, but theres loads more of other games that are fantastic on here, like the dozens of posts in this thread mention. The zelda games on the gbc are some the best, and the warioland games are as good as platformers can get until you hit the gba.

I'd put shantae up there but I really just completed the game for the fantastic visuals and music, the gameplay is pretty bad for a platformer and it gets way better once it upgrades to the ds and beyond.

Because it's quite literally shit in comparison to GBI.
