Oh great, another fat weeaboo English teacher moved here.

>>5476516
I’m actually a reasonably fit business analyst, but I do know I’m by far an anomaly here.

>>5476516
>>5476523
What do you guys think of the new name?

>>5476528
Makes me think of 命令された平和.

>>5476506
Get Chrono Trigger

Also how much are Game Boy Light systems there and can you send me one? Thx

>>5476528
Weak and superficial. For the first name taken from old Japanese books instead of old Chinese books, they’re sure not starting off on a strong foot.

>>5476506
>Nippon

Lol. You can say Japan, fren.

>>5476513
This.
But with the Krikzz art

>>5476548
But then I can’t show off my new nihongo skills, baka! :^)

>>5476553
That looks pretty nice

>>5476530
I’ll check the game boy light prices, haven’t seen one yet but I wasn’t looking. I was more looking for Japanese specific games, I had a SNES growing up.

>>5476513
>>5476553
You don't want either of those, OP. You want this.

>>5476614
What’s pro about it?

>>5476556

>>5476636
It supports SA-1 and SuperFX out of the box due to having a better FPGA.

>>5476513
>>5476553
>>5476614
How much do I lose out on if I get a snes everdrive over sd2snes?

>>5476781
No games that use special chips, basically. So no Mega Man X2 or X3, no Super Mario RPG, Kirby Super Star, or anything else that uses the SA-1, and no Star Fox or Stunt Race FX.

>>5476636
It has a better FPGA. It doesn't really do anything the original doesn't at the moment, except for some MSU-1 memery.
They switched it out for cost/availability reasons - not really to improve the product.
>>5476771
The original hardware supports these as well with the newest firmware.

>>5476805
>The original hardware supports these as well with the newest firmware.
Yes, but at the cost of MSU-1 audio in SA-1 games. The regular SD2SNES also uses an out of production FPGA. SD2SNES doesn't have those drawbacks, allows for fully-functional save states, and turbo mode for SuperFX games, all at the same price as what the SD2SNES went for.

There's literally zero reason to not get a Pro.

>>5476556
yeah, you'd better, 'cause some angry fags will criticize you for being not enough "tr00 r3tr0 g4m3r" if you don't speak Japanese

what a buncha dolts

>>5476818
>There's literally zero reason to not get a Pro.
Of course not. But there really isn't anything Pro about it at the moment either.

That is if you mean Super Everdrive X5
Super Everdrive v2 can play games using DSP-chips if it got that chip soldered in.

>>5477097
learn japanese and read what he said and maybe you'll get it ;)

>>5477137
imagine the smell haha, huh!

>>5476506
you should buy the ones that interest you, maybe one or two at a time, and as you finish them, you should sell them back and then get new ones.

Personally, I think Pilotwings and Jumbo Ozaki's Hole in One Golf are good choices.

>>5477121
That 今はない、明日で多分 is terrible Japanese, meaning he doesn't actually need to say anything more.

>>5477157
>Pilotwings
those last stages before the 2nd helicopter mission took me HOURS

>>5477281
I am still working through expert mode, the fucking finisher for normal mode was incredible though, a real surprise how fun it was

OP if you can beat Jumbo and take first in the Pro level tournament in Hole in One then you are a damn good player.

Get Yuuyu-chan's quiz game, of course.

If I wanted a bunch of shitty recommendations citing resetera polls, I would go to reddit

>>5477094
>>5477170
By the way, I wrote that and since I'm really new to japanese, I'm not sure what's terrible about it. What should I improve?

>>5477157
Buying one or two at a time sounds like a nice idea, but why would I sell them back?
>Pilot Wings and Jumbo Ozaki's Hole in One Golf
These both seem pretty fun. Thanks for the suggestions.

>>5478185
>What should I improve?
Read the whole Ajatt table of contents and complete the nihongo shark kanji anki deck as fast as you can. Then sentence mine all of the Tae Kim guide. Then just start immersing as much as you can (podcasts, news anime youtube) all without subs. This is what I did and in about 11 months i got a 251 score on the JCAT and about 14 months in now i just got done reading norwegian wood no sweat. 頑張ぁ

>>5478185
Eh, what's the difference if they're from Reddit or 4chan, they're just game recommendations. Reddit plays a bunch of mainstream stuff but so does /vr/ talk about mainstream shit the majority of the time.

Site tribalism is fucking dumb.

>>5478185
>By the way, I wrote that and since I'm really new to japanese, I'm not sure what's terrible about it. What should I improve?

Roughly everything.

I know what you want to say, but that's not the bar you should aim for. Otherwise you might as well post like "not time now, tomorrow maybe" in English as well. In this case in Japanese you want 時間がない、明日にしよう or something like that.

If you're a beginner it's fine to be shit. Many people don't even strive for production at all.

>>5478569
>>5478554
Thanks. I know I’m shit, and I am trying to get better. For a point of context, I just started learning about four months ago, never studied it before. It’s a hard language and Japanese really coddle foreigners so I’m working to push myself.
I’ll look through the stuff the other anon mentioned!

>>5478563
I guess that’s true, tribalism is stupid, but there’s a hugely different culture on the two. I just don’t like the hivemindedness of reddit. 4chan has mob mentality too, but I’ve always had more differing opinions here.

>>5478185
But you didn't want any recommendations. You wanted to show off your SFC that you bought with the last of your yennies instead of the instant noodles you should have.

>>5478886
I said it back in 2011/2012 when I first remember people talking a lot about reddit, and I maintain it now: the biggest problem with reddit is still the karma/voting. I've been on forums with that stuff before, it always turns into either burying unpopular opinions or judging posts only by the post count of the account. It's total crap. Granted, 4chan has similar shit, but it isn't systemic but rather user-enforced. If you have an alternate take and can express it well, then you have a post, and nobody (short of mod power trip) can remove it. People can hide it, sure, but not everyone uses that function, and if you make it long and not just "lol ur shit buzzword buzzword" then people will still have to read the post to decide if it's worthy of hiding, and reading a post that's rational and reasonable can make people more understanding and less likely to just turn their brains off. Karma/voting systems allow enough people to vote that the post becomes intentionally obscured, without the individual user getting a chance to evaluate it.

tl;dr 4chan thread systems are not perfect by any means, but I maintain that they remain a better system in practice

sorry to go off-topic.


>>5478185
As for why you should sell them back, it's better for the whole community if you sell games back after you finish them. Once you have beaten the games, you don't necessarily have a reason to hold onto them unless you are going to play them a lot further. If you keep games but never play them, then they will just sit and collect dust, and other people who might want them will not be able to get them. It is important to consider that you are not the only person who wants to play that game, and that others have not beaten it yet, so if you sell the game back, then you help keep the supply of carts consistent, and prevent things like price increases on otherwise cheap games.

theres no new name, it still uses the same one

>>5479239
>こいつら国

yikes
were you trying for "自分の"

>>5476506
A SGB2 , >>5476513 , and maybe some games you care enough about personally to hold in your own hands.

>>5479316
no, i was going for their. theres many ways to say that, or i could have said 国民 maybe. the sentence is still wrong though, i think, i forgot to mention (for) them to protect their country

>>5477001
Youre not going to play them so why do you feel the need to buy them?

>>5476506
For me, it's the Super Everdrive.

>>5480053
>owning a super everdrive when sd2snes exists.

Whew lad.

>>5480097
>overpaying and waiting years to play games you could have bought for a few bucks
wew lad

>>5476506
fuck a flashcart bro get the real shit while you're there. like you said, shit there's cheap and sfc is cool! (■-■)

>>5480097
>paying double the price for faster load times

>>5476818
I went for the standard because Krikzz dropped its price by $30 after the Pro was announced and I liked the cartridge art. I don't use save states or turbo, and can utilize MSU-1 in a majority of the games I enjoy on the system, but I could understand why someone would want these features.

not OP, but I don’t want to take up space with another thread. what are some good super famicom games that don’t require any Japanese knowledge? I like action and platformers.

>>5476506
Just go to the closest mandarake/book-off/whatever and buy whatever looks good to you. Bought Super Mario RPG, FFVI, DQV and DQVI all for 1000 yen or less with packages while I was there.

Which leads me to the question, what do I need to play a super famicom in Europe? I know I need a DC adapter for power supply, but it looks the Super Famicom also uses a different video cable, correct? I only get a black screen.

>>5480152
>for a few bucks
laff

>>5481170
No one said they were a few bucks during your lifetime. You'd have to go back 10 years to get them that cheap.

>>5480768
If you mean Japan-exclusive, you can't go wrong with Go Go Ackman 1, 2 and 3.
Otherwise, Rockman 7/Rockman X1, 2, 3, Super Metroid, Akumajou Dracula.

That’s a yes, right?

>>5482778
>not having those games long before the SD2SNES came out
>giving a shit about romhacks
wew lad

>>5477001
Yes
I'd pay that much just for V

>>5479357
Sure, it looks like I can get a SGB2 for about ¥3000-4000, depending on if I want it with a box or not. I’ve always liked Yoshi’s Island, that’s one I think I’d want for replay.

>>5481231
Ohh and I’ve never actually played Super Metroid. That sounds like a good one to buy, beat, and sell. How’s Rockman 7 compare to the X series?

>>5479204
Totally agree on every point you made regarding 4chan vs reddit. Tribalism is stupid, but the karma system really does break actual discourse. The total anonymity of 4chan really helps keep a focus on the content of the post.

And you made a good point about selling off games when I’m done. My apartment is pretty small, and the games are so widely available here, there’s no reason to collect them just for the sake of collecting them.

I’ll do my part to help out the community.

>>5483151
>¥3000-4000
Wew lad. I picked one up CIB for ¥800 a few weeks back. But please do continue to support the tourist trade.

>>5483174
I actually only checked yahoo auctions so far, hadn’t made it to a Hard Off or something yet, so that’s good to know!

>>5480790
>Which leads me to the question, what do I need to play a super famicom in Europe? I know I need a DC adapter for power supply, but it looks the Super Famicom also uses a different video cable, correct? I only get a black screen.
You need a TV that can handle NTSC video input. Easiest way to do that is to get an RGB SCART cable built for American SNES/SFCs and plug it into a TV that can handle 60Hz input, since NTSC and PAL RGB share the same color space.

It’ll break dithering effects that were intended to be used on RF or Composite video, but everything else will look crystal clear and vibrant.

why are you posting if you don't care about playing the best games the snes has to offer on console for the first time ever niglet?

>>5482817
stop being a weeb. you didn't move to japan and you sure as shit fuck don't jerk off. nigger.

Not OP but going to Japan soon and wanted to get some old consoles for my brother who is into that stuff, what kind of converters do you need to get them to work overseas (Australia)? Are they any "grails" that are highly desired by /vr/?

>>5484502

Zoom back to when you came from zoomer

>>5484502
>stop being a weeb. you didn't move to japan
I did move to Japan, anon. I'm not a weeb, my Japanese is shitty, but I still love retro games and want to play them while I'm here since it's cheap and easy to go through games.

Online, I mostly find lists of "Japanese exclusive" SFC games, which are great for importers but I guess I need "best SFC games for the illiterate" kind of recommendations.

>you sure as shit fuck don't jerk off. nigger.
What did he mean by this?

>>5484727
>Are they any "grails" that are highly desired by /vr/?
How crazy do you want to get with your price point, since there's a lot of esoteric and sought-after hardware that never made it out of Japan.

If you're asking about SNES specifically, the hardware grails are fairly tame unless if you're getting into things like Satellaview or a Super Famicom Box, both of which would be irrelevant to the average SFC player.

>>5484727
>what kind of converters do you need to get them to work overseas (Australia)?
power converters from 100V/50Hz and/or 60Hz to 230V/50Hz
