>Alien Soldier is re-released and actually finished like NAMI wanted it to be
Never ever.

I like bangai-o on n64 way more than the soulless dc remake. Nah just kidding dc has soul too but I prefer the 64.original for a numer of reasons

Their Genesis output was so consistently good that it's hard for me to pick a favorite. I'm going to say Gunstar Heroes but on another day it could be Dynamite Headdy. My favorite Saturn game of theirs is Radiant Silvergun. I wanted to like Guardian Heroes but I don't really like playing bmups on one player mode and the only person who was down to try it with me didn't like the RPG elements or the way it was three distinct parallel planes you could move back and forth on or switch between (like multiple games of Ninja Warriors) instead of one big plane (like Streets of Rage or Final Fight) you could move on in 8 directions. So, RS got a lot more play from me and I really loved it's style.
I haven't tried their games on other platforms. Mischief Makers wouldn't work right in the emulator I tried. I am in the process of getting a Dreamcast up and running so I plan on playing Bangai O someday soon. Sorry for blogging.

Why is Ikaruga so good? How did they come up with that mechanic?

When did Treasure lose their mojo? Wario World was pretty medicore, especially compared to their past work, yet their GBA games were good from that era. Was it limitations imposed by Nintendo? All they do now is port Ikaruga to various platforms.

Anyone play the Bleach games and know if they're worth playing? I have no investment in the anime.

>How did they come up with that mechanic?
I mean, all they did was rehash it from Silhouette Mirage.

>>6021923
Even back in the day there were turds like Light Crusader

>>6021987
Light Crusader felt like last-minute shit that got slapped together just so Treasure could say they had one more Genesis game to offer, especially since Alien Soldier wasn't even half done after two years.

>>6021987
What was wrong with Light Crusader? Do you just not like action-RPG's or something?

how was that wii game they made?

>>6022098

Gunstar Super Heroes

I know they aren't perfect and a lot of people here don't like them, but ever since I found out about them a few years ago they have been my favorite company ever.

>>6022891
>a lot of people
It's mostly the same guy shilling his anti-treasure antics. maybe thrown in a few other people who hate them because ikaruga is popular, but it's not a "a lot" of people.

>>6021978
But that’s also their game

>>6022891
>Gunstar Super Heroes
I wanted to like that game for the awesome controls, but jeez, there are so many poorly designed levels.

>>6023576
Gunstar Super Heroes was the game where Treasure gave up and gave in to the very sequelitis they originally formed to rebel against.

We can all agree that Radiant Silvergun is their best game, right?

>>6023596
Gradius V > Ikaruga > Silvergun

Even the Ronald McDonald game was good.

>>6021530
Just change Guardian Heroes to Silhouette Mirage and Gradius V to Stretch Panic and you have my list.
Astro Boy is their most underrated game IMO. If Alien Soldier and Gunstar Heroes were mashed together with a story-driven beat 'em up, it would be Astro Boy.

>>6023594
>Gunstar Super Heroes was the game where Treasure gave up and gave in to the very sequelitis they originally formed to rebel against.
Nope. The first game that actually broke their rule against sequels was Advance Guardian Heroes.

>>6021604
fpbp
alien soldier is probably the best incomplete game ever made.

>>6021987
it's only a "turd" in comparison to most of treasure's other work. i'd still play it over hundreds of other mega drive games.

>>6023660
You got it backwards.

>>6023720
I read that translation of the interview where NAMI speaks of how he devoted so much of his time and talent to make his dream game only to get cut off at the last minute and still not even be close to done. I doubt he's got that same devotion to his work now, which is a shame since he no doubt knows how great the Treasure Genesis trilogy (Gunstar, Headdy, and AS) was.

god i wish treasure still made games

>>6024117

can't wait for a faithful port of Silhoutte Mirage

>>6025014
just buy a saturn poorcuck

>>6025771
but i'm poor

>>6025913
emulate it then

>>6025915
but i'm stupid

>>6025915
you wouldn't download a sega saturn

>>6025913
why don't you try getting a job

Hm...

>>6025953
ok, where?

>>6024352
The modern (((videogame industry))) doesn't deserve something like Treasure.

>>6025014
The japanese PSX version is pretty faithful, just missing some background graphics which isn't that big of a deal.

>>6023713
True, but Gunstar Heroes was Treasure's big landmark debut game and created as their way of protesting companies like Konami who rely on churning out sequels. Making a sequel to that was essentially blasphemy.

>>6029140
They weren't strictly anti-sequelitis, they just wanted more creative freedom than Konami was willing to grant them.

McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is underrated.

>>6025953
>because there's really a job for everyone willing
Found the Communist. As usual, it needs to be explained to you morons that what you think doesn't correspond with reality.

>>6031891
>being such a huge loser you can't find employment in Trump's America
lmao'ing @ your life.

>>6021856
Because you haven't played many shmups.

>>6021856
It's a good puzzle game, but a shitty shooter.

>>6021530
>arguably the greatest retro videogame developer ever.
holy shit treasurefags are deluded

>6035126
you

>>6035126
At least they aren't Cavefags, who gobble up the same rehashed Ikeda danmaku trash ten times over.

>>6036987
Cave is alright as long as we keep it retro (90s/pgm).

>>6036954
>treasurefags confirmed retarded

>>6021712
What's better about it?

>>6038296
Controlling Bangai-O feels much more satisfying to me on the N64 controller than on DC. On N64, you can move with the d-pad, and shoot with the control stick, takes a bit of time to get used to it but once it clicks, I could never go back to using the c-buttons.
On DC, I think your only option is shooting with the face buttons.
Then some other changes in gameplay, on N64 you can always shoot a maximum of 100 projectiles at a time, and if your meter is full, you can shoot 10 times in a row, that means 1000 projectiles. On DC, you're limited to whatever enemies are on screen.
All in all, DC is easier because it lets you fuck up less.
Both are pretty good anyway, but I prefer the 64 original. There's also some other minor things I like about it better, such as Bangai-O's sprite itself.

>>6038362
BO 64 is also good, it just has to compete with S&P for "best N64 Treasure game", which is the greatest rail shooter of all time.

>>6038645
>s&p
>better than space harrier, panzer dragoon or night striker
lmao trashurecucks.

>>6039637
kys you australian piece of shit

>>6039637
>purposely avoids mentioning Star Fox 64 because it's a Nintendo game
nothing personnel
also, I hope you mean Panzer Dragoon II Zwei, because PD1 is just okay.

>>6039896
The best PD is on xbox.

>nothing personnel
"pure coincidence" would've been a better meme to use desu

>>6039896
>his favorite rail shooters are the ones for Nintendo
And yet you act like you're not the biased one, lmao.

>>6040561
Where did I even imply that?
As far as I know, Zwei is still Sega Saturn-exclusive.

PD Zwei is my favorite rail shooter but Sin and Punishment is my second favorite. Anyway , favorite Treasure games for me are Silhouette Mirage (non WD version), Astro Boy omega factor, and guardian heroes.

>>6022098
broken dodgeroll makes the game too easy, plus it takes around 3 hours to clear...

SHAKE SHAKE

Post moar cute marina.

>Professor Theo had a harem of robot maid helpers all along

This fucking game man. Why can't SE release the Enix back catalogue like the endless console/mobile/PC ports their Square games get?

Let's settle this once and for all.

>>6047369
where's this from? I think I only ever saw one or two pages in smaller resolution from treasure's website before.
Also, holy shit all these other robots... I didn't know Marina had so many sisters.
