/vr/ - Retro Games

Why? I like this game.

>literally babbys first platformer

Why did they have to make Baby Mario so annoying?

Seethe? Yeah, I'm seething some water to make me some tea while I comfily play this fine game, thanks.

>>6381902
That's Kirby

>>6381915
It's literally a penalty for getting hit. Why does anyone think this criticism makes sense?

>>6381915
>i keep getting hit and baby mario won't stop crying
git gud and stop getting hit

>>6381924
Read his post again. Maybe look at the cover of the game first.

>>6381891
>Objectively one of the best platformers of all time

>>6381915
To give player a strong motivation to quickly rescue him through pure SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>6382004
This. People trying to pretend it isn't are funny.

The game's fun, but not challenging. I wonder if kids today think the Yarn Yoshi games are fun in the same way.

I've started several playthroughs but ended up getting bored and quitting. I don't think it's for me. This is coming from someone who's played SMW several times, and played several SMW hacks.

my favorite levels are the ones where the monkeys spit watermelon seeds at you, I would spend the whole level just fucking around gun fighting with them, i was a silly kid

Bullshit collectathon. Anyone know thinks it's fun to 100% this game is wrong.

Thanks for proving my point.

>>6382056
>collectathon
Nice non-retro buzzword.

>>6382069
To be fair, using a popular game and making any snarky comment in the OP will guarantee some replies. I don't see much people seething though, just some anons pulling the baby crying card, and people making fun of them for getting hit. The usual grind in YI threads, but not seethe.

>>6381891
Not me, that game is beautiful, one of the best looking games of the 16 bit era. Also the game has lots of cool levels and the egg shooting was good gameplay mechanic. I had fun playing it.

>>6381927
Mass regurgitation of mass retardation

>>6381927
Because the human brain is literally hardwired for the sound of a baby crying to be annoying?

>>6382216
Your brain is literally hardwired to miss the point and disappoint your parents

>>6381891
>the system's 2 "ultimate" platformers
>have you play as literal babies
Nintendo was really trying to tell their fanboys something here

>>6382267
If the point was to instill a strong desire in its players to fuck babies it worked

>>6381891
>*makes /vr/'s parents seethe
fixed

>>6381891
I like it. If anything I find it easier to go back to than SWM.

>>6381927
>deliberately annoying the player is good
nintendo fans, explained

>>6382015
>Not challenging

Did you 100% the game? If not then it doesn't matter what you think. Getting 100% on that stupid frog boss is frustrating. Same with the looooong cave.

This is one of the few games where I loved every single level. Sometimes I get a craving to play the skiing levels or the sky world levels and I turn on my SNES.

>>6381891
Nah. It's just a shit game. I don't know which game I hate more. Mario's worst(Yoshi's Island) or Sonic's worst(Sonic 3D Blast).

>>6382498
>>6382437
Awful cope

>>6381927
>Just don't get hit if you don't want to hear the baby cry lol
I wonder why Mario 64 didn't keep this trend of annoying the fuck out of you everytime you get hit. Imagine how terrible every nintendo game would be if they kept that philosophy, let's play some mario kart, every time I hit you have to hear a baby cry until you hit me back lol.

>>6381891
You must be crazy. Everyone loves this game.

i think the game is totally fine. but if you prefer it to SMW, you're on crack

>>6381891
If you think this game is too easy, you're not trying to get 100% on each level.

>>6381891
The graphical effects, boss fights and artstyle are great. There are a lot of boring levels though and I never liked how Yoshi controls.

>>6382552
>c-c-c-cope
Stay salty, Nintendrone.

>>6382946
>reasons for hating a game is console wars
go back to /v/, you aren't going to convince people that Yoshi's Island is a bad game, anon.

>>6382950
>you aren't going to convince people that Yoshi's Island is a bad game
I don't have to, Nintendrone. People already think it's a bad game.

>>6382954
>nintendrone
Sorry /v/, I'm not part of your silly console wars. Always an idort, since before you were born.
>People already think it's a bad game
Yeah, "people" like you. Not sure if I'd call you people, though.

>>6382654

t.Seething truth-hating Nintendrone

This game ties with Morrowind for my favorite game of all time.

One of my favorite SNES games. It's an 8 or a 9 even.

>>6382267
i just noticed that bird looks like a banana peel

>>6381891
Is not even the crying baby. It's the fact platforming to a back seat to collecting so much bullshit. It felt like a chore to play. I don't even mind collecting one or two things, but this game has like 5 different items to get a 100%

>>6381902
>Judges a book by its cover in your path

>>6383216
Cope harder, little console warrior.

>>6383646
What 5 different items?
Anyway, you don't need to do 100%, unless you're ocd

Was well worth the time, would 100% again.

>>6383216
>if you like a game that happens to be on a nintendo system, you are a nintendrone
Kids like you is why video game discussion online is pretty terrible. I grew up with a mega drive and consider myself a sega fan overall, but yoshis island is a masterpiece. Get good.

>>6383216

>b-b-but muh nintendrones! you can't enjoy what I don't like!
cringe @ this cope

>>6381891

The N64 should've had SNES and SFC games ported to it, just like every other system had previous gen software ports and compilations going at the time.

This game in particular seems like such a perfect fit for the analogue stick with the egg throwing mechanic.

Just to be clear I had both Sega and SNES..Eventually PS1 also.

This game is easy to us today but when it was out it was fairly hard. Fun too.. I loved the artsyle with the drawn graphics

why would you need to do a 100% run to make YI fun? it has great base mechanics and good level design, so it's not like the game isn't fun to play normally. it's a little easy but i'd laugh off anyone trying to make that exact same argument about, say, kirby super star.

Truly based.

>>6382015
>The game's fun, but not challenging
Wow. Like super mario world, super metroid, a link to the past, earthbound, super mario rpg, mario 64, ocarina of time, paper mario, majora's mask, banjo-kazooie and donkey kong country?

>>6384073
>thirty Stars, twenty Red Coins, and five Flowers
I misremembered, but that's still too much shit.

>>6381891
So apparently in one of the Mario mangas we get to see the parents, and... Uhh...

>>6384485
I don't think that's the problem, it's that you have to get it in one go, not like Wooly World where you can come back to a level and find any flowers and stars you missed.

>>6382954
Keep crying bitch nigga.

>>6384485
To be fair, the stars barely need any collecting, you get enough of them by getting through checkpoints, you just need to not get hit.
Still, when people talk about the 100% collecting aspect of YI, I just remember back in 1995 I didn't care about it, I just played it to the end.
It was cool coming back to the game years later and actually unlock the extra levels and doing a 100% file, but I don't think you need to do that, it's an extra.

>>6384485
>there's too much stuff I don't have to collect!

>>6384857
The game does give you bonus items to help you find red coins, or give you free stars. Then there's only five flowers per level you need to find.
This is hardly an issue even if you want to collect them. I mean, if you're going for 100% you should already expect to play any given level more than once.
I honestly don't see the issue, it's not as if you lose all the red coins or flowers you've collected so far if you die.

But it's legitimately bad. None of you manchildren would defend Yoshi's Island if it didn't have Nintendo written on it.

>>6385615
>the console warrior is still at it
At this point you're sounding like a Nintendrone falseflagging as an anti-nintendrone to make people defend YI.
Don't worry, YI doesn't need defending, it's already considered a high quality game, Nintendo or not.

>>6382043
These monkeys are pretty fun to fuck around with.
Last time I played the game I noticed that some of them would be friendly and stand in front of you, and keep advancing a bit as you walk, like they want you to follow them.
This game has a lot of little details like that, that might get overlooked on a first playthrough.

>>6381902
>first
>literally has "2" in its title
getaloadofthisfuckinguy

>>6385664
>>6381902
The Yoshi in Yoshi's Island are adults.
The game you're thinking of is Yoshi's Story, where the Yoshi are actually hatchlings.

>>6384076
sweet jesus

>>6384856
is this legit or a shoop?

>>6385652
>things are like i say so because i say so
>it doesn't need defending, but i'll make a falseflag thread explicitly to defend it
Yikes and oof. It must kill you inside that there's a Nintendo game that isn't fellated by /vr/. No matter how many times you repeat your schizo timeline, it won't come true, sweaty.

>>6385726
I never claimed it was "fellated by /vr/" lol. Yoshi's Island came out in 1995 buddy. 4chan didn't exist then and it was already praised. Again, Nintendo or not. For example, there's other Yoshi games, released by Nintendo (case in point Yoshi's Story) and they aren't as celebrated as Island.
So, your console warring logic is severely flawed. It might work on /v/, but not on /vr/.

>NOOOO YOU CAN'T USE ZSNES, IT'S OBSOLETE AND NOT CYCLE ACCURATE, YOU NEED AN i7 TO PLAY YOSHI'S ISLAND ACCURATELY!

>haha stars go woosh

the only thing wrong with yoshi's island is that you play as yoshi which is absolutely unforgivable. yoshi was meant for dropping into lava so you get an extra jump. dumb STINKY green dinosaur

>>6385703
It looks to be official, I think it's part of one of the Mario mangas that never got released outside of Japan.

>>6381891
genesis does what nintendont

listen to this Yoshi Island OST, how mutch better it sounds with FM modulation, Genisis wins again

this. babies are annoying

>>6384076
You can try to 100% the GBA version. It has 6 new levels.

rotating sprites was a mistake

>>6388819
shitposters and falseflaggers were a huge mistake

>crying baby Mario
>essentially a babysitting game
>art style is unique, but fucking boring

>>6388952
>don't get hit
>doesn't have any actual escort mission in the whole game
>"boring" is subjective in terms of art

>>6388972
>>don't get hit
Highly unlikely. Making the game annoying as a punishment for getting hit is a stupid idea. In the other Mario games getting hit made the game more challenging and it wasn't annoying. Good game design.

>>6388980
pro tip: If you're fast enough, you can get the baby back before he starts crying.
get good.

>>6388982
>get good.
That's not what get good means. It's supposed to apply to beating the game, not making the game less annoying.

This hack makes it playable.
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3945/
>Mario will no longer cry and has graphics have been replaced while inside a bubble.
Alarm sound (SFXx58) now replaced with lesser alarm (SFXx57) as it is less irritating.
Red Coins are now properly red.
All mouse sound effects (SFXx75) replaced with chirp sound (SFXx5A) which is very similar sounding but less ear-piercing.
Ice no longer screeches.
Winding sound effects of heavy objects on a chain no longer screech (SFXx5A) and replaced with correct winding sound (SFXx1B)
Winding “frying pan dong” sound (SFXx2F) removed.

>>6388985
Then start by not getting hit, again.
If your problem is the baby crying sound, be fast if you get hit. But the primary idea is to not get hit.

>>6388995
maximum autism

>>6388997
Nice argument.
Anyway, I get it, the baby crying sound is annoying. It's meant to be. You're supposed to not get hit. Don't be a baby.

>>6389019
>You're supposed to not get hit.
This is literally impossible. Mario stages wouldn't have so many mushrooms in the ? boxes if you "weren't supposed to get it".
You literally sound like a retarded faggot.

>>6389031
>literally
stop memespeaking, it's perfectly possible to do a no-damage run.
>I don't like people telling me to stop getting hit, so they must be literally retarded faggots!

>>6389036
>it's perfectly possible to do a no-damage run.
Maybe if you're a fucking autist that is obsessed with such things. Most people just want to play a game with a reasonable amount of challenge that isn't annoying.

>>6389063
Most people could play Yoshi's Island no problem. So maybe it's your problem. If you're hearing the baby crying too often you're doing something wrong.

>>6389083
>If you're hearing the baby crying too often you're doing something wrong.
Hearing it once is too much.

>>6389092
You might be the autistic one, then.
