/vr/ - Retro Games

Not sure, but most of the N64 fightan is reasonably solid. Flying Dragon is my favorite. Dual Heroes is shit, but entertaining shit.

It was a much more 3D focused system. People wanted to play games with movement in a 3D space and fighting games just weren't good for that back then. Even 3D games like Virtua Fighter feel very 2D in how they play.
Besides it had a decent amount of fighters like Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat, and Smash Bros. They didn't need to be releasing every capcom fighter like they were doing on the Saturn and Ps1

Super Robot Spirits is cool.

>why are there so few games for the N64

>>6480668
Because the Playstation was cheaper to develop for. That's really all there is to it.

>>6480696
Hi, OP

I can remember some.

>>6480668
because n64 is a system for USA liking while psx and saturn are systems for European and Japanese liking

Whats the current best emulator? Im dyin to play paper mario

It was supposed to get an installment of Street Fighter EX which would have fucking ruled

>They didn't need to be releasing every capcom fighter like they were doing on the Saturn and Ps1
This is your brain on nintendo cock

>>6480690
Capcom fighters would even suit N64 more since it has readily 6 face buttons, unlike playstation.
Playstation also had worse versions of 2D fighters.
I think it was mostly costs. N64's forte was 3D, and producing a N64 title was expensive, so if you were going to release something on it, it better be 3D. Only a few brave devs risked 2D games on N64, and albeit many of them are great, they probably didn't sell much.

>>6480668
No online

>>6480717
Youtube lied to you again kiddo

>>6481709
Didn't Nintendo have an outright ban on 2D games on N64?

>>6480668
There's a few inferior arcade ports and some god awful originals. Basically almost all Western fighters so you know they might have a unique visual style but purely awful game play.

Because it was a more 3d focused system and the controller isn't really the best for fighting games

>>6480668
Fighters destiny 1 is the best n64 fighting game. Prove me wrong.

>>6481768
No

>>6480694
Wait a second there's a game on N64 with Voltes V?
how did I not know about this

>>6480720
Not OP. Normally I lurk, chime in here and there and argue with zoomers. I'm not a fan of N64 so I have little to offer but disdain. I do love the NES, SNES, GC, Wii and WiiU. N64 is also the only Nintendo console I don't own and won't own.

Worst fighting game for the N64 was either that shitty EVA game or Beastwars.

The most unique at the time was Super Smash Bros. The console offered a few 3D fighting games that died with the console for a good reason.

>>6482059
>WiiU over the N64

>>6480668

>>6480668
Does WWF No Mercy count as a fighting game?

>>6482031
There's 2 of them actually. Super Robot Wars 64 (from the long on-going series, the N64 one is an exclusive), and also a fighting game spinoff of SRW, Super Robot Spirits. I think also exclusive to the N64.

>>6482059
I said hi because I noticed the IP count didn't go up when that post was made, and it doesn't seem like any of the 3 first posters would make a shitpost like that. Hi, OP.

>>6482117
>that shitty EVA game
It's great as a spectacle. But yeah I wouldn't really consider it a fighting game, it's more like its own thing, with different kind of missions. The 1 on 1 combats are more like "eva simulator" than fighting, you have to keep track of your syncro, raise it, break the enemy's AT Field, and then perform different commands to unlock FMVs (the special attacks).

>>6483365
>he watches the IP count
Wow that's pretty autistic

>>6483409
Yeah, imagine moving the eyeball, what a loser.

>>6483415
Yeah, imagine missing the point, what an incel.

>>6483441
What point? That confirming OP is a faggot is somehow a bad thing?

>>6483445
>he watches the IP count aka shit only autists care about

>>6483448
You're not fooling anyone, OP.

>>6483456
>assuming I'm the OP
Lollerskates

>>6483461
Why would anyone want to defend OP?

>>6483342
I'd say wrestling games are their own genre, amazing game though

>>6483968
More importantly, why can't we have an original wrestling game not based on a licence? Imagine a wrestling game with more than 11 months of dev time.
My personal vision for such a project would have similar but much more violent/gory combat.

>>6484024
Have you looked at the virtual pro wrestling games, also for the n64? There's also rumble roses for the ps2

>>6484049
I know a little about Rumble Roses, but I thought it was just an ecchi game and didn't bother looking into if the gameplay was any good. The only WWE games I have played are from after the company became WWE.

>>6482059
Hi OP

>>6480668
really a shame too, since A+B+C buttons make a six face button setup just like the saturn controller, which would've been perfect for fighting games.

Guess it just comes down to the N64 being all about 3D. Not sure if there's a hardware reason for that or if it's just because N64 devs decided to almost solely focus on 3D, but there it is.

>>6484170
It's probably because it was risky to make 2D games on N64. I doubt it was because of hardware issues, as far as I know N64 has no problems with 2D, but producing carts of N64 was expensive, so if you were gonna invest on making a N64 game, the most logical idea was to exploit what the system was known for, and what people at the time wanted the most, 3D.

>>6483464
Why wouldn't anyone want to call out your faggotry?

>>6484587
because OP is always the biggest faggotron, especially when he's caught samefagging

I remember playing the shit out of Mace the Dark Age. I'm positive it hasn't aged well at all but just look at this fucking guy.

stop samefagging. we can all see the IP count

>>6484616
yeah what this guy said

>>6484616
>>6484619
very based lads. based!!!!!

>>6484623
why thank you for calling me based my fellow 4channer! might i be as bold to say the same for you?

>>6484616
came here to post this

>>6483362
I see combattler there, but no Voltes

>>6484668
True, my bad, Voltes doesn't seem to be on SRW64, only Spirits, the fighting game.

>>6484616
>>6484619
>>6484623
>>6484627
>>6484629
holy shit the irony

>>6484587
Hi OP

>>6484714
>Hi OP

>>6483310
what?

I liked Dual Heroes

Mortal Kombat IV, Trilogy, Fighters Destiny, Smash Bros. Rakuga Kids and Xena were all good...

>>6480668
I would have liked a Street Fighter port on the console, to be sure. It had a good button layout for that.

>>6480694
That game was awesome.
N64 had a lot of good games but people just overlook them a lot.
