/vr/ - Retro Games

Its size may have been what ruined it. It's like 12 times the size of the PC-Engine.

>>6681521
The lack of 3D ruined it

>>6681964
This. It had no place in the future of gaming

>>6681964
That, solder buttons and no RGB output as well.

my local game store has one of these, is it worth it? I know it has the Zenki game but anything else worth checking out?

Der Langrisser FX is the only game I can think of that would be worth a damn. But its a strategy RPG in Japanese. The system only has about 60 games and half are porn. So maybe those are worth it too?

>>6681964
If was actually competent at 2D, it could have gotten away with it in Japan.
Here's the thing it kind of sucks at 2D:

>>6681509
It looks good, but the library isn't that good and the hardware was already outdated at release. Didn't help that NEC allowed all those adult titles on it.
I never owned more than three games for it.

>>6682927
>and half are porn.
Not true very much a myth, there's Pia Carrot and Dragon Knight IV

>>6681509
Style over substance.

These are the better "real" games on the PC-Fx
Boundary Gate, Der Langrisser FX, Vajra FX, Power Dolls FX, Miraculum,Lunatic Dawn FX. Blue Breaker, Team Innocent, Super Power League FX and Sotsugyo 2

>>6682940
Might add that I had to service my unit once for a broken connector and whoever designed the case didn't want people to ever open it up again. It's a rather complicated nightmare.

>>6682950
Oh and I forgot Nirgends

>>6682941
That's misleading DK4 on PC-FX is censored. The only other adult game is Cancan Bunny Extra.

>>6682950
Is Farland Story FX any good ?

>>6681509
>Predated Xshit X Series
Plus need more homebrew and port from other systems.

>>6682571
>Six button
>Not single CPS1/Dash and other arcade port?

>>6681973
>future of gaming
3D aside age poorly

Boi

>>6681964
Indeed

>>6681509
the system itself was nearly 3 years old by the time it hit the market. NEC was living under a rock while the other hardware manufacturers were anticipating a push for 3D graphics.

>>6685649
Most of the games being fmv ruined it. I say this as a weeb.

>>6685628
Love to see CV:HoD on PC-FX.

Well so.

>>6685628
Still too.

>>6681509
Couldn't do 3D(technically), but wasn't that good at 2D either.

>>6686250
There 3D expansion slot for it. It actual can do 2D well.

Worthwhile console.

>>6686672
>3D expansion
never released, by the looks of it (from magazine screenshots) underpowered

>2D
Hopelessly outdated on release, since it was essentially based on the old Tetsujin prototype from 1991.

It looks like NEC missed the release by several years.

>>6686707
>missed the release
>outdated
NEC should go for M2 "PowerPC" CPU and add more ram.

>>6685649
Hard time for some owner.

>>6685628
Darkstalkers 2

Zenki FX or forgotten cute mascots

>>6686725
Yeah, but they didn't and kinda gave up against the other giants in the market.

>>6686802
They have my respect before Microsoft join in.

>>6681509
Nice espresso design

>>6681964
What if you have fun?

>>6685790
Ultimate Based

>>6682576
Yes.

>>6683723
Even so. Adult game was strange lineup.

Yup

>>6687307
Fun is a buzzword for when you run out of arguments.

>>6687778
Why argument?

>>6682571
>solder buttons
Hmm?

Woah

nice design than Jar.

>>6681509
A potentially universal loved enigmatic system.

Fair play.

>>6681521
The bigger the better

Every PC-FX thread on /vr/ has the same non-English poster spewing disconnected gibberish...and something about potential ports nobody would give two fucks about.

>>6689432
GTFO idiot

>>6689441
Based ESLchad, fuck writing coherent posts.

>>6689441
Like clockwork.

>>6689441
the chad ESL

>>6689476
the virgin weeb

The samefagging is off the charts

>>6681509
It's just a PC.

At least it was not SuperGrafx levels of disaster.

PC-FX failed to deliver Far East of Eden Ziria the game apparently most people bought the system for in the first place.

>>6691797
Not even close

>>6692212
corection I meant Namidia.

>>6692219

SuperGrafx hardware should get USA/EU first in 88’ time.

>>6692219
That shit sounds like a veneral disease

>>6692570
Wasn't the only purpose of the supergrafx to add multiple background layers? Granzort in particular was a very dissappointing sequel compared to keith courage.

>>6692583
It did well in graphics apartments. Striders was originally intended before move into rush PCE-CD specific release.

>>6686725
It definitely help them in long run.

>>6691797
Huh? Off low chart cell?

>>6681509

These big box feel today anime collection vibe.

>>6692570
Would help NEC hit in the new market.

>>6689476
Love the sprites movement.

>>6681509
NEC should have won desu lads

>>6694873
Damn straight!

>>6687778
Doesn’t matter what you think.

>>6685790
I would too.

>>6692570
Something about that.

>>6689476
Ew. Bit off. It just fine.

>>6681964
Stop crying ungrateful 3Dboi.

>>6685628
Samurai Spirits as well

>>6689441

These threads are the pinnacle of autism

>>6697335
Autism as you self.

>>6697335

>Found closet trannies

>>6685790
Shantavia?

So do PC-FX play CD music?

2D Resident Evil like or check n point adventure

>>6686707
Show mag screenshots.

It was like the perfect FMV console, but it came out when FMV was nearly dead.

>>6682571
Support it Mclassic and bang!

>>6682950
>all literal whos and a naming convention to rival the N64's

>>6703395
And?

The PC-FX controller feel a aesthetic taste.

>>6698192
Above tier art

>>6694873
This anon speaking on the truth.

It neat tower design

Great old stuff.

>our console is not selling well, what do we do?
>let's make it appeal to the coomers.

>>6706943
Families would love it.

>3D expansion slot

>>6706943
Sounds like modern gaming

This thread took a weird turn

>>6706943
The PCE had succeeded by porting censored adult games from NEC's home computers but by 1997 that wasn't enough to set the PC-FX apart since Sega, Sony and even Nintendo had followed suit and they needed some new approach.

>>6708002
No

>Hey guys how do we follow up the PC Engine
>How about a system that can't do 3D and also we double down on the otaku audience that were the only people who played the PC Engine past like 1992
>Yeah let's do that

It can try new homebrew demo.

Why is an AI shitposting about the PCFX

What's the proper term for D-pads in that style? I'm asking for real, spare me the smart answers.

>>6709971
it's a weeb trying to keep the thread alive, the IPs in this thread are dangerously low, there is some crazy samefagging going on here

>>6709976
What do you mean style? Shape? Mechanism?

>>6709976
It's your standard, run-of-the-mill, 8-way D-Pad, though some may refer to it as an 'octagonal navigator', or your 'Everyday Up, Down, Left, Right with Diags'.

>>6709976
It's usually referred to as 'a big piece of shit'. Hope I was of some help.
