/vr/ - Retro Games

>Why wasn't there a sequel?
Licensing hell. The MM IP is supposed to be owned by Enix, which is now merged with Square. Meanwhile, the game was developed entirely by Treasure, and was published in the west by Nintendo.
The PS1 game Rakugaki Showtime has Marina as a selectable character, but that game was apparently recalled from stock due to copyright issues, likely in part due to Marina.
>Are there any other Treasure games with a similar "wacky late 90s anime" feel?
The same designer for Mischief Makers worked in Guardian Heroes and Radiant Silvergun on the Saturn. In fact, both games have green haired girls that look similar to Marina.
Also Gunstar Heroes and Bangai-O. No green-haired anime girl, but they have that late 90s anime style.

No shit, really? I've never heard of this. Please tell me someone ripped this game, I have to play it somehow!

Dang it. I've known for decades that the Saturn was some sort of mystical Nirvana for weird Japanese games, but I've always made excuses not to buy one on eBay. I've been itching for a MM-like experience since forever (even if it's not a platformer), so this may be the thing that finally pushes me to buy one.

Bump!

Don't mind me, just being the superior N64 sidescrolling platformer.

>>5910358
There was a Goemon sidescroller on the N64?

>>5910368
Goemon's Great Adventure. That has less of a chance of awakening trannys, thus the more based, if I do say so myself quite very indeed.

>>5910368
Possibly the best game on N64, unironically. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/n64/915334-goemons-great-adventure/images

>>5910371
Which should I play first, this or Mystical Ninja?

>>5910391
Mystical Ninja. GGA is the implied direct sequel, as you'll find out if you play MS first.

MM was too ez, sry. Still loved it.

JOY CON SHAKING ACTION

You might want to check out Silhouette Mirage.

Did a bot leak at the end or something?

SHAKE SHAKE

THROUGH FIRE
JUSTICE IS SERVED

I just want Marina in Smash

>>5911961
I think a sequel would be better, honestly.

>>5911961
>>5911994
Imagine actually being able to shake your controller and it affects the game, and maybe different shakes cause different actions.

>>5910065
Guardian Heroes is wacky late 90s fantasy anime: the game.

>>5912138
I'm not too wild about motion controls in general. Besides using the wii pointer for resi 4 and fragile dreams, I can't think of any others that really stuck with me.

>>5910527
AAHHH IT HURTS THAT IT DOESN'T EXIST

>>5911796
Just watched some gameplay vids, and you're right, this definitely seems to have that same late 90's/earlu 00's platformer feel, even if the graphic style is a bit different. Thanks for the recommendation!
>>5911949
My favorite boss fight in the game. <3
>>5912138
This. Mischief Makers was ahead of its time, it's practically begging to be remade with motion controls.
>>5912154
Yeah, I really do need to get a Saturn.

shake shake

>>5910065
Love this game.

>>5914827
I love you. :)

I so wish the IP wasn't stuck in a copyright limbo and under Treasure's obsession over Ikaruga.

>>5910527

Post more fanart, please.

Treasure rarely ever does sequels, period. First time I think they ever made a sequel to one of their games was Gunstar Super Heroes on GBA, iirc.

>>5914915
Thanks bro.

>>5914915
I love Marina!

>>5915486
Who doesn't?

>muh waifufagging
let's face it, you incels wouldn't care about the game at all if it didn't star an anime girl

>>5915592
Geez, aren't you a party pooper.

>>5915592
Now now, I hate waifufaggotry as much as the next normalfag, but Marina is actually a cute robot.

>>5910065
This game just doesn't look fun to me. It looks like something collectors are shilling to try and drive the price higher.

>>5915962
It's pretty good though, although be aware it might be hard to map the controls if you're emulating.
Also you sound like you're a bit paranoid, not everyone is a collector. Nobody ever even mentions anything about prices or anything when discussing this game.

>>5915713
I tend to agree.

>>5910078
>Please tell me someone ripped this game, I have to play it somehow!
Get yourself the Greasemonkey browser plugin and its emuparadise workaround script, search for "Rakugaki Showtime rom", go to the first couple of results that redirects you to emuparadise, rightclick on "Download using the workaround script", then "Save destination as..." (it should download it as a rar file).

smol bump

>>5910065
It has already been mentioned all the licensing issues, but despite /vr/ distaste for Treasure games, back then the devs were appreciated for their mechanically experimental gameplay and lack of sequels because they explored the mechanics nearly to the fullest in the games they made. The did eventually do more sequels, but with all the licensing with Troublemakers, it is probably more likely to get an indie dev to create something similar like how everyone wanted more Valkyrie Profile so some indie dev decided to make that Invisible game which uses the same mechanics. Surprising it hasn't happened sooner, as there have been Ikaruga and Guardian Heroes-like games.

>>5910369
God no, don't tell me Sevenleaf's mates claimed Mischief Makers. I already have to deal with never discussing Klonoa in public without dealing with dogfuckers.

>>5915962
Fuck off then. I bet, like me, most of us in here played this as a child and just wish we had a sequel. But then you just had to exist, and had to be here no less

>>5917738
The only thing you need now is to become a tripfag so people can block your annoying ass

>>5917747
Which Sevenleaf?
That tranny that always has a hateboner for Doug TenNapel every single time Earthworm Jim is even mentioned in this board?

>>5917738
>but despite /vr/ distaste for Treasure games
pretty sure the anti-treasure guys aren't the majority of /vr/. In fact I think it might be just 1 guy samefagging a lot. He's been silent lately, though.

>>5915418
Gladly!

>>5918357
Looks like he's right here: >>5917791

Been playing a lot of n64 lately and thought about getting this game could someone explain it to me?

HELP ME, MARINAAAAAA

>>5910358
literal garbage

>had this game as a kid
>beat it, but never completed it with all the gold gems
>get it again as an adult, beat it to completion including getting an average A ranking for the full ending
>adult Marina doesn't look as good as kid Marina
Should I start a new file and lie about my age so I can see cute loli Marina at the end?

>>5920729
It's good.

>>5921082
I... what? Marina was an adult throughout the entire game. What loli Marina are you talking about?

>>5923252
Human Marina, not robot marina.
When you finish the game with all the gold gems, you can see Marina turned into human. Depending on the age you selected at the start of the game, she will be either adult or a kid.

>>5923265
I didn't even remember entering my age.

>>5910527

>>5917738
No alien soldier,light crusader, sin and punishment or gun star heroes md.......Yelp

>>5923919
S&P is there.

Michief Makers would have been a hit on Playstation

>>5923994
How did Silhouette Mirage do?

>>5923997
it had no marketing and a stupid cover so not good

>>5923994
How so? Even a big name like Castlevania SOTN only sold like what, 50k or 60k copies initially? 2D just wasn't hot in the mid/late 90s.
Also, Mischief Makers uses all 6 face buttons, it would have to be different for it to work with the PS pad.

>>5924006
How was marketing for MM? I ended up buying it entirely off word-of-mouth.

>>5924012
I definitely remember seeing it in magazines.

>>5924012
Very scarce. Enix (who published it in Japan) didn't publish it in the west, so Nintendo did it.
It got some single-page ads on magazines, and a TV commercial, but it wasn't pushed as hard as other 1997 titles.
2D was kind of a bad word back then, people would genuinely get turned off. It's very different from today, where 2D is seen as a novelty. Back then, we came from ONLY 2D, to finally a generation with actual 3D games, so people just avoided 2D like a plague.

>>5924023
how old is Marina really

>>5924023
So, does nintendo have the rights?

>>5924118
Hard to tell, this was over 20 years ago.. they only had the publishing rights in the west as far as I know. I'm thinking Square-Enix own the rights, although nobody is really sure.

>>5924882
>square enix
oh boy

>>5924006
>stupid cover
It looks fine to me.

>>5915438
That was more a remake than a sequel.

>>5915438
They ever explicitly say they didn't like making sequels?

Anybody got a picture of the different ending screens for Marina depending on what age you entered for your save file? You know what I'm talkin about

>>5925650
They said they broke off from Konami because they were tired of being forced to do nothing but sequel after sequel to stale IP's, believing they were better than that.

>>5925662
That's respectable.

>>5924042
She's around your own age of course.

>>5925661
>>5925762
I forgot you but was going to post another image anyway.

Odds of Treasure making a new game?

>>5925890
I'd give one of my three testicles if they port their old games over to PC.

>>5920396
Basado.

>>5924023
It was featured on several issues of Club Nintendo (the latin american equivalent of Nintendo Power). However it was very hard to find in stores, even though most Nintendo published games were everywhere. I got very excited to have it just by looking at the art and screenshots, and my dad managed to get it from a direct official distributor (he runs a a retail store, so we got a contact)

I’m literally one of two people I know in my country who owned this game. The other one got it used from a Blockbuster.

>>5925975
Yeah, I have a club nintendo issue with Mischief Makers coverage. I think there was even an issue with Marina on the cover, but I never got that one.
I'm from Argentina and I got my copy around 1998, in Club Taku. Based Taku.

>>5925762
>>5925769
there's more than that, iirc I got a loli marina by setting my age to the minimum (like 6 or 9?) and if you set your age to the other extreme end of the spectrum her tits get bigger instead of her getting even older

>>5926085
that's bullshit but I want to believe it

>>5926085
are you sure?

>>5917791
>this mad

>>5925895
If only.

>>5925762

SHAKE SHAKE

Isn't that a Megaman robot master? Shake Woman?

>>5928128
What weapon does she drop?

Casual player here, did you guys actually 100% it without using a guide? Some of the golden gems are stupid as fuck hard to find, at one point I just gave up and used a guide for them.

Also any advice for getting the gem in THE DAY OF race? I have heard using the d pad is better but I can still never get that one.

>>5928583
I used a guide for some of them, but most of them aren't too cryptic. Bosses are almost always "beat it without getting hit".
>Also any advice for getting the gem in THE DAY OF race? I have heard using the d pad is better but I can still never get that one.
Yes, use the d-pad. That's probably the toughest one to get, my advice is, start tapping as soon as the race starts, that milisecond will make a different. The best way to know when exactly to start is by using the music as a sound cue. The beat works as a metronome, so memorize the beat and start exactly when you should. You can retry as many times as you want anyway. Then tap the d-pad like a motherfucker, but don't mindlessly mash, make it a constant and fast tapping.

trashure FUCKIN sucks.

>>5928592
Rent free.

>>5928583
>did you 100% it without a guide?
no

>>5910065
Rakugaki Showtime

>>5929449
It's more like a completely different game that happened to have Marina as a cameo.

>>5929801
It had a bit of a 90s anime feel.

>>5930063
Oh fuck, i didn't notice you were answering the other OP's question, i'm sorry.
In that regard yes, Rakugaki Showtime's real full of 90's vibes.

>>5930204
anything else?

>>5910065
>>5931792
Dynamite Heady, Gunstar Heroes

other games that play like mischief makers?

>>5932396
Rakugami Showtime. Stretch Panic
Neither is as good though.

>>5932397
Sounds interesting, I'll have to give them a look.

Megaman/Mischief Makers crossover when?

>>5929449
How was that game? Worth checking out?

>>5934468
It definetely is, at least for a single casual playthrough.
Gameplay's just as fun as Power Stone, graphics and music are a treat to the eyes and ears respectively if you're into the late 90s / early 2000s sort of innocuous, cute charm of it all.

>>5928583
OP here. I was never able to get the gem on Day of the Race. I hated that stage so much as a kid!

>>5925895
Genuinely why? Most if not all of their library emulates fine.

>>5934812
Interesting. Thanks!

>>5928583
Don't do it!

Also I never 100% even with gamefaqs

>>5928583
Don't try it.

How many S-ranks did you guys get?
I think I only got 2, first level, and free fall level.

Pretty sure it comes down to rights.
But some games like Guardian Heroes I don't think there should be an issue.
Like Guardian Heroes, they remastered it to that autistic gamer XD Xbox Live, why not PC?

>>5934948
It'd be nice to have all these great games in one collection.
Maybe they could translate the Saturn version of Silhouette Mirage without messing it up too.

>>5936682
Just started playing the game yesterday, got 3 of them so far.

>>5941268
Me neither, but thanks for creating this thread in the first place OP.
It actually made me start playing this game again after a long while and attempt to 100% it, as well as finding decent fanart once in a while.
I still don't get why mods always try to kill off the good things in 4chan, first the Spinel / Channel threads in /co/, now this.

>>5941268

>>5941502
