/vr/ - Retro Games

What is the appeal of this thread? It's slow, boring, and generic. And having to reply to OP gets annoying as fuck.

>>6683075
Yoshi, flying, saving, and fun.

SAGE It's "I don't like this popular game" time again. SAGE

Based op, wre must keep at at least a dozen super mario threads up at all time. The remainder shall be dedicated to the immortal n64.

>game that pioneered the genre is generic
get out, zoom zoom

>>6683097
I think that was Mario 1 7 years earlier.

>>6683097
>calling a shit rehash of Mario 3 pioneering

Super Mario World is amazing OP, you contrarian edgelord fuck.

But the sequel is where it's at.
I remember spending so many hours completing Yoshi's Island, and it is still a fun game now. What's more, it truly was original and unlike any previous game in the franchise.

>>6683415
Yoshi's Island is a shitty game.

>be me
>be young kid watching early youtube
>find 100% lets play on mario world
>watch the series like 4 times
>buy the gba version
>beat the game
>love the game

has the tightest controls of any 2d platformer, environments are very pretty for a game in 1991. AMAZING music. ok power ups. you should beat it.

Your opinion is a shitty opinion.
It's the cosiest game on the SNES.

>>6683075
>It's slow
Push and press the Y button while you play.
No need to thank me.

>>6683528
It's a great game, yes, but cosiest it is not. That belongs to Super Star. Yoshi's Island requires you to get nearly impossible collectables to get the best ending.

>>6683604
Isn't the ending the same whether you go for 100% or not? The thing with the collectables is that you unlock more levels, and it adds stars to the title screen, but I don't remember any different ending.

>>6683628
Or whatever, probably. As you can gell, I haven't done it yet because the annoying "star" collecting activates my OCD perfectionism and then therefore kills my interest in playing the game any further.

Yes it is. The music is good though.

>>6683697
That line of thinking barely applies on this board since the population is so low. Count on nearly every thread being full of samefagging.

>>6683528
False. Yoshi's Island is a shitty game and doesn't act like a true sequel to SMW. It's a chore and a snoozefest to try and 100% that shitty ass game.

Mario was never good.

Yeah they nailed the controls for SMW.

>>6683075

> having to replay every level twice

Yeah...you haven't played it have you because then you would know that only the red/yellow levels have multiple exits.

Why don't you fuck off OP

>>6683075
Forest of Illusion is bad game design and no one else is brave enough to say it but me

>>6685773
And you're wrong.

>>6685810
How is locking you in a map of 4 levels good game design? Exploration is encouraged in most levels, yes, but this was clearly just done to pad out the game time during the 90s.

>>6683075
So don't play it if you don't like it OP. What's with coming on here bitching and whining?

>>6683451
Based fellow retro zoomzoom

>>6683075
Looks great, sounds great, level design is great, control and physics are among the top of the genre. Only play it on real hardware (or lagless FPGA) + CRT or you're inadvertently fucking yourself

>>6685857
Young retard, read this and it'll save you a lot of confusion in the future -> not everyone is as inept or as easily frustrated as you are

>>6685857
>How is locking you in a map of 4 levels good game design?
i got the key to the exit on my first try. it's literally a fucking warp pipe, you'd have to be retarded to not find it

>>6685857
If you struggled with this, you must be retarded. My 11 yr old self had no problem. They had a 1-900 number you could call and Mario Mania (the SMW strategy guide) if you were really stuck.

>>6685767
>red

>>6683075
it has the best physics of any 2d mario game, and is one of the games with the most full-length romhacks, thus the 10% of them that aren't shit is quite vast.

>>6685941
the physics are so good, it's one of the few games i'd argue you don't even need a fpga to experiance properly.

>>6686171
>>6686175
I like how you can approach a shell from any angle and, as long as you're holding Y, Mario will pick it up. In 3 you had to approach shells side-on.

>>6685857
You're clearly retarded. Dome people might take your bait and call you a zoomer, but my 10 year old niece figured that shit out and she's generation alpha.

Nothing else to call you but a fucking retard.

>>6686192
i thought alpha was 2011-Present

>>6686175
>i'd argue you don't even need a fpga to experiance properly
Even if you get input latency down fairly low, audio latency makes the game feel sluggish because of the sound effects that play when jumping. Real hardware/FPGA-only with this game for me

>>6683425
So is your life and opinion.

>>6687056
False. But I can tell yours is shitty just by defending this game and getting offended by my opinion. It's an indication that you're miserable.

>>6683075
This game is nearly perfect, i love it so much. It's perfect for kids, but has a learning curve adults can get behind. It's genius

its shit, yoshis island is better in every way

>>6687205
what? There is no learning curve, if you find this hard you're bad at platformers lmfao

It's been said many times before but it feels rushed and incomplete especially after playing the mush more polished SMB3. There's a pretty loud minority from the speedrunner niche that will insist otherwise though, they think that just because Mario has more moves it's somehow a better game, but much like Mario's rocky transition into 3D, the levels simply do not take full advantage of Mario's new moveset at a fundamental level.

>>6688058
It really needed a proper SNES sequel instead of the shit we got, Yoshi's Island. It could've been amazing.

>>6683425
I agree with you

>>6683075
Probably its amazing level design, controls, and charming visuals. It’s a perfect platformer.

>>6688058
>There's a pretty loud minority
To be completely and utterly fair, the "minority" here is the people that insist on a 3 vs World war.
The "SMW is rushed" is a recent meme (and wrong btw, especially now that we saw how many times the dev team went through different development phases until it reached the final form).
Both games are great, always were. Neo-tribalism, enforced by compulsive internet addicts (often younger people) is what's insisting on this pointless "love one, hate the other" dichotomy mindset. But remember: compared to all the people who actually played both games back in the 90s, this is a minority.

>>6688068

>IP count didn't go up

>>6688082
I don't consider Australia-kun "people"

>>6688083
Take your meds paranoidbro.

>>6688068
Seeing how great All Stars looked in comparison to SMW makes it extra disappointing that we never got a true SMW2, it's always pretty damning when a game comes out at the start of a console's launch when the devs are still fumbling to learn how to make games for the hardware, I bet a proper SMW 2 would have been mind blowing.

I wouldn't sacrifice it for Yoshi's Island though.

>>6688085
>>6688086
>IP count still the same
the anti-Yoshi's Island schizo is back at work. Expect the next days to be full of yoshi's island shitposting samefagging until he gets banned again.

>>6688058
>but much like Mario's rocky transition into 3D, the levels simply do not take full advantage of Mario's new moveset at a fundamental level.
What? Mario's movement in 64 was designed FIRST and then the levels were made. I'm sorry but the levels objectively do take advantage of his moveset, awful take

I'm honestly glad knowing there's a guy who has Yoshi's Island living rent free in his head.
There's something oddly comfy knowing there's this guy that's genuinely angry and wasting time posting about a game he hates while I can enjoy the game on original hardware at home. Call it schedenfraude if you want.

>>6688089
I don't know what you're talking about but if you're tracking the IP account then somebody's living Rent Free in your head.

>>6688093
Yeah okay, let's give Mario all these great atheltic skills and have barely any platforming outside of the Bowser levels, Rainbow Cruise, and Tick Tock Clock.

>>6688101
there is plenty of platforming, i'm sorry to bring up speedrunning but the amount of shit you can do in this game with the moveset is insane, watch any runner and they will show you how they push the limits of it.

>>6688098
Not him, but there has been 1 shitposter that's been very insistent on trying to convince everyone on /vr/ that Yoshi's Island is a bad game. He basically ruined all kind of genuine criticism for the game because now people will just assume that any anon criticizing anything about Yoshi's Island is that one obsessed anon who hates the game. He basically did the opposite of what he wanted to do: He created Yoshi's Island criticism immunity. Unless he was a falseflagger, but I doubt shitposters like him are able to scheme falseflags this complex.

>>6688097
Meanwhile you let Yoshi's Island haters literally live rent free in your head and have to tell what you posted to yourself as a means of coping. Funny.

>>6688104
>i'm sorry to bring up speedrunning
You should be. You should be able to have fun by playing the way the developer intended, not by performing retarded tricks to bypass the level.

>>6688107
The difference is that, even if Yoshi's Island hates lived rent free inside my head (not really), the rest of the world will still enjoy Yoshi's Island.
You on the other hand, will continue to have the game rent free inside of your head AND your ultimate goal (make people hate the game) will still never come true. You go to sleep every night knowing that you will die and the game will still be praised.

>>6688108
Even in glitchless runs the amount of shit you can do with movement is insane. The main philosophy of mario 64 is play how you want to play and glitchless runs are doing just that with the movement they're given.

Based anti-YI schizo made another YI thread.
I love seeing the cover art in the catalog. Thanks bro.

>>6683415
>>6683425
I've tried Yoshi's Island so many times over the years and it never clicked with me. However I've never had the patience to play past world 3. Is there a point where the game actually starts having a resemblance of a challenge, or is it just more of the same?

>>6688070
Thanks.

>>6688078
>Thinks there's only "one" poster who hates YI.
Seems you're the only one paranoid here, MiSTer.

>>6688167
It hasn't clicked with me either.

>>6688167
>Is there a point where the game actually starts having a resemblance of a challenge
Some of the later castles and a couple of the Extra stages, but otherwise it's a cakewalk.

bump

>>6683451
thats based. its a good game but people here just like to shit stir.

>>6688086
>how great All Stars looked
All-Stars looks like cheap b-team garbage. Every NES original and SMW look drastically better

>>6683425
This is the truth. It's a bad game.

You can lie to yourself, like many Leftists do when they accuse you of something you're not guilty of. But the reality is more than 1 person hates Yoshi's Island. You can either cope with that fact or you can KYS. Doesn't matter to me.

>>6689398

Nice blog retard, nobody cares, you not liking it doesn't mean shit, fuck off.
You can dislike it all you want but trying to pass it as a fact that is a bad game is just plain sad, contrarian faggot retard.

>>6683451
So you spoiled yourself the entire game 4 times before actually playing it? What the fuck is wrong with you? Youtube was a mistake.

SMB1/2(J) have the best physics and control of the series, but SMW is still far above almost every other platformer in that regard
