/vr/ - Retro Games

>Yaah! Yaah! Hiyaaa! Yaah! Yaah! Hiyaaa! Yaah! Yaah! Hiyaaa! Yaah! Yaah! Hiyaaa! Yaah! Yaah! Hiyaaa! AHHHHHHHH!
No

>>6698085
It's the version of ALTTP that I originally played. It's not the version that I beat.

>>6698085
It's better than the SNES version in every way.

>>6698085
Worse in every way. The only thing that made it interesting at the time was its portability

>>6698085
Four swords is not a real zelda game.

At least shitpost about minish cap.

Not retro

>>>/v/

>>6698085
Remakes are allowed in here.

>>6698085
Reminder that GBA exclusives will never, ever be allowed here. I think remakes like this are, but since it's a GBA game, I wanted to remind you that normal GBA games will never be allowed.

>>6698717
GBA ports are always horrible abominations compared to their original versions too. They shouldn't exist.

It was great at the time because portable SNES games were still novel and pretty amazing, but it’s aged like milk in the sun since.

>>6698085
Screen crunch and you're going to want this: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2570/

>>6698938
Completely true. Real SNES games are retro, offensive to anyone ports are not retro.

>>6698741
>It was great at the time because portable SNES games were still novel and pretty amazing, but it’s aged like milk in the sun since
Exactly right

>>6698938
EPIC WIN!

>>6698938
>trolled11!
Wow these memes are absolutely horrible.
And yes, GBA is not retro and SNES is.

Something seriously needs to be done about this gba spam. It's really shitting up the board right now.

>>6698989
Legalise it.

>>6698990
Apparently the guy spamming got banned but only for 3 days. Needs a permaban I reckon.

>>6698990
I can promise you two things- the GBA will never be allowed here, and there's nothing you can do about it at all.

>>6698998
Anons losing their fucking minds over any hint of GBA discussion, even in the context of discussing a SNES port, are equally to blame.

>>6699007
>5th gen will never be retro, go back to /v/
Is what they used to say when 5th gen babbies were crying that the 1999 rule should include their childhood

>>6699012
And keep bumping these fucking threads like utter retards instead of reporting and moving on.

>>6699012
Not losing my mind at all. It's just a shame to come to /vr/ and see so much spam for the last couple of weeks. I really hope /vr/ can get back to its best, and i think that only happens with a permaban of OP.

>>6699023
Well I hope /vr/ goes back to banning 5th gen so we can get rid of both anons who are smug about their childhood modern 3D games being arbitrarily considered retro (after they complained in 2013) and anons who think because Mario 64 is allowed, so should Mario Sunshine. Get rid of the lot of them so we can just have the "cut off" be 4th gen games again.

>>6699017
>Is what they used to say
No.

>>6699045
Usage not much gen?

>>6699045
>I hope /vr/ goes back to banning 5th gen
It won't. But I'm going to make more 5th gen threads now knowing it makes the GBAutist seethe so much. That makes me happy. Nana nana boo boo
>both
Nice projection because there's about 2 or 3 6th gen spammers.
>arbitrarily
It's not arbitrary, it's clear. 1999.
>Get rid of the lot of them so we can just have the "cut off" be 4th gen games again.
That will never happen. And it makes you seethe. Nana nana boo boo!

>>6699056
>2 or 3 6th gen spammers
There's 1

>>6699045
This. The true retro gaming era ended in December 1994 with the release of the PlayStation.

>>6699056
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_generation_of_video_game_consoles
>This era is known for its pivotal role in the video game industry's leap from 2D to 3D computer graphics, as well as the shift from home console games being stored on ROM cartridges to optical discs. This was also the first generation to feature internet connectivity
Sounds like a modern generation to me. But I agree it would be too impractical to kick all of the 5th gen babbies out now because then they'd just spam as well, so I will have to tolerate you lot posting here. Like 5th gen can be an honorary "retro" generation for being the first modern generation ;^)

>>6699069
Read the sticky. Retro is consoles released 1999 and before.

>>6699069
>look ma it's wikipedia
Cringe.
>I will have to tolerate you lot posting here
No you don't, no one is keeping you here. You can literally leave any time, you don't "have" to tolerate anything, retard.
>Like 5th gen can be an honorary "retro" generation for being the first modern generation ;^)
No, it's not honorary retro, just "retro" - did you check the sticky out? Retro means consoles from 1999 or before.
5th generation consoles are from 1999 or before, you can look it up if you don't believe me.

>>6699083
>No there's no logic to what makes a game retro, it's only my arbitrary year that I adore for it's convenience for myself!
Okay champ, your 3D games are retro if 4chan says so, even if it didn't originally until people complained 3-)

>>6699095
The logic is:
>Before 2000
Retro
>After and including 2000
Not retro

Read the sticky.

>>6699098
Okay yeah the world of gaming changed on december 31st 1999, and not with the transition to 3D polygonal gaming because the sticky says so, that's was really nice of /vr/ to let you pretend your childhood console is retro 3-)

>>6699095
>your 3D games are retro if 4chan says so
Retro by whose definition? By 4chan's or wikipedia, or autistic zoomers, or what?
>even if it didn't originally until people complained 3-)
That's not why it became retro. You weren't here to know that, though. It became retro because it became old enough and felt retro by the people who are in charge of the rules. Stuff after 1999 will never feel retro, and you're not in charge of the rules, champ.
Here you go kiddo, talk about GBA all you want. No one will stop you. http://reddit.com/r/gba Now go talk about all those great games for the GBA that you think are retro. There are lots of people there waiting for you who will talk about it with you :)

>>6699127
>Stuff after 1999 will never feel retro,
>https://www.retrogamer.net/retro_games00/the-making-of-halo-combat-evolved/
OH NO NO NO

>>6699130
So you meant by retrogamer.net's definition then? Do you realize that's a different website than 4chan?
Maybe there's a retrogamer.net forum you can talk about games on if you agree with their definition and not the one here. No one is making you talk about games here lol

>>6699141
Hey you said
>Stuff after 1999 will never feel retro
Clearly some people who are more of an authority on retro gaming than you are, seem to disagree with you and your beloved sticky :^)

>>6699146
>Hey you said Stuff after 1999 will never feel retro
That's not what I said, try reading what I said again.
>some people who are more of an authority on retro gaming than you are, seem to disagree with you
They aren't more of an authority. Did you actually think putting the word retro in their domain makes them an authority? Holy zoom.

>>6699146
Retrogamer don't decide the rules of a 4chan board. The rules here are clear: pre-2000 only.

>>6699146
>some people disagree with you about something
>I think they have more authority than you in my opinion
Ok? Go talk to them then and you guys can talk about how much you disagree with me together.

>>6699198
The rules were also clear that 5th gen is not allowed... once.

>>6699198
The rules are about to change boomie. Tick tock.

>>6699206
Everyone knows this.
>>6699208
When specifically? "About to" isn't very specific and you've been saying that for a long time. It's starting to seem like you're just full of shit and hoping and wishing something that isn't true.

>>6699214
>Everyone knows this.
Yeah, that the rules actually can change.

>>6699214
It doesn't make sense to make another gaming board for 6th gen so it's inevitable that mods will be forced to change the rules here. Don't worry, you'll still be able to post your scintillating console war, spoopy Mario 64 and 'Sonic Adventure is good actually' threads.

>>6699247
>hiro finally adds a gacha-board
>forbids generals
>that's why /vg/ is still shit
only a troll like you could expect reason where there is none.

>>6699235
Yes, they can. Are you asking if they will change for GBA and Gamecube discussion to be allowed here, because you want them to so badly? No.
>>6699247
Your opinion is irrelevant. The mods aren't forced to do anything, and you're not forced to stay here. Don't worry, you can still post your GBA threads on /v/ and many other websites.

>>6699261
There is already lively GBA discussion here, when it isn't being derailed by boot lickers. Makes more sense to just allow GBA rather than expect mods to continue to play whack-a-mole just so you can post yet another exhilarating 'wHy dO pLaYsTaTiOn GrApHiCs lOoK sO bAd' while screeching 'zoomer' at anyone who disagrees with you unencumbered.

>>6699280
>Makes more sense to just allow GBA rather than expect mods to continue to play whack-a-mole
If you think constant spamming will ever change the rules in your favor, you're clueless. It's actually guaranteed that you will never get your way.
>There is already lively GBA discussion here
You samefagging on your phone isn't discussion

>>6699280
>There is already lively GBA discussion here
You spamming GBA threads is not "lively discussion"

>>6699280
>boot lickers
>antifa
>antififthgen

>>6698085
It's pretty good, but not great. Just average.

Let's be honest, the niggers spamming GBA and other 6th gen crap don't give a shit about the consoles or games from that gen they just want to troll, the retards have >>>/v/ to discuss that shit, /vr/ was created because most of retro stuff was drowned in /v/ endless faggotry.
Also, why in the fuck chinese moot created a RPG board instead of a western vidya board?

>>6699705
Wow racism much? Mods? How is racism allowed but GBA isn't?

>>6699705
You're right.
>>6699710
GBA is not retro.

I played this version of alttp over 200 times unironically

>>6699705
Dude REALLY? After everything that's been going on these last few months THIS is the word you choose to make your argument?

>>6699705
This is abundantly obvious from the actual threads. The guy enjoys annoying people for some reason.

>>6699740
Really? I've seen it as people love to get angry about anyone playing fast and loose with the 1999 rule.

>>6699740
Why do you samefag so much?

>>6699740
He's underage and it's summer.
>>6699751
>>6699754
Off you go, seethegen girl.

>>6698990
Prohibition isn't working bruh. The only solution is to legalise, regulate and tax! The War On Spam has been a vast waste of resources and time.

>they think it’s only one person

>>6698717
>yet homebrew made in current year is allowed

I should learn to program so I can port Halo to the fucking n64 just to piss you faggots off.

>>6698085
It's low-key the best version of Zelda 3 overall.

Pros:
New moves (charged attacks, swimming, can collect more shit with basket)
New sidequests
New dungeon (makes use of beta elements and new moves)
You can play with the original color palette
All bugfixes from the PAL versions (like the digging minigame RNG, bugged graphical effects)
Corrected localization
Screen resolution isn't that bad
More languages

Cons:
Sound (voice acting, chirpy music)
Some dungeon changes (simplified Ice Palace, although some prefer the new rooms)
Some of the content is locked behind completing the other game (Four Swords)

Since, unlike Yoshi's Island (and its new 6 extra-hard levels), there has been no serious effort by fans to backport all of these bonus features to the SNES version, go with the GBA port (with the darkest luminosity in the ingame options) if you don't care too much about the sound effect.
Same reason why Super Mario Bros. 3 is best played on the GBA (Wii U romdump).

/vr/ is a dying, rotting board whose opinions on the GBA should never be taken seriously. It's full of shitters or wannabe jannies who also say you're allowed to discuss the B&W model but not the Color model of the WonderSwan. They chased away someone with a rare version of Stafy 1 (a leaked unreleased localization from Nintendo, and these things happen once in a blue moon no less) because "GBA is not retro", and that's not even correct (Stafy GBA is a direct port of a finished but unreleased GBC version, with very little differences aside from a coat of paint for backgrounds and some boss fights)
I don't even buy that it's a salty DreamCast suicide cult (gaming ended with Sega bwaaah) because this behavior is too pathetic to even entertain proper discussions.

>>6699938
The GBA spammer is one person.

>>6700161
HA! Okay m8

>>6700148
Wish the rest of /vr/ was like this post, a proper response to a proper question

>>6700169
It's why you can find almost all his spam by searching for certain phrases, like "classic retro"

>>6699727
>Wähle einen Spielstand
Sehr cool Hans, sehr cool!

>>6700180
He also uses (normal) pronouns and prepositions, and often namedrops Nintendo and Sony. I heard he goes by the handle "Anonymous".

YOU are the insufferable faggot here.

>washed out colors
>annoying voices added
>dumbed down the only difficult dungeon
>lower resolution
These really outweigh the extremely minor quality of life upgrades in my opinion. Not worth it.

>>6700148
>GBA is not retro
Correct. Fuck off.

>>6700319
Remakes/ports of retro games have always been allowed. ALttP is an SNES game, and SNES is retro.

>cropped
>low contrast
>absurdly high brightness
>mutilated soundtrack
>insufferable voices
Toddler-tier
No reason not to play the real ALTTP today

>>6700110
As long as it's hardware released before 1999 we don't mind

>>6699710
>>6699730
The word Nigger is retro, GBA is not.

>>6700337
>Remakes/ports of retro games have always been allowed
Oh, is that why the Resident Evil remakes threads are deleted on /vr/ but not on /v/?
Is that why FF7 remake threads are deleted on /vr/ but not on /v/?
Is that why you're a gigantic faggot holy shit?

>>6700397
ff7"r" is a non-retro sequel, tbqhfam

>>6700319
Shut fuck up faggot.

>>6700463
Was the GBA released after 1999?

>>6700397
Those games are hardly remakes. They're brand new games with old names slapped on them to cash in on the nostalgia fad. The GBA ALttP is identical in nearly every meaningful way to the original. It's retro.

>>6700558
>The GBA ALttP is identical in nearly every meaningful way to the original
It's not, look at all those fucking changes: https://zelda.gamepedia.com/The_Legend_of_Zelda:_A_Link_to_the_Past_%26_Four_Swords

>>6700569
yeah, but essentially the same game, without a wiki you would easily miss 80% of those changes

>>6700569
Yes there are changes but they boil down to minor differences. Compare it to FF7. Literally no overlap. Entirely different games. That's the difference. Fundamentally you get the same experience playing the SNES or GBA version. Not so with the other "remakes" you tried to compare it to.

>>6700591
>it's identical
it's not
>it's essentially the same game
Your goalposts have wheels.
It's absolutely not a port. They added ennemies, sound effects, a multiplayer mode, etc...
It's not retro, like the GBA.

>>6700613
>They added ennemies, sound effects, a multiplayer mode, etc...
Wow! It's like a completely different game!

>>6700629
>they changed things
>it's the same

>>6698741
Honestly the only things that watered down the GBA ports were the washed out color palettes and the unnecessary bing bing wahoo voice lines. I could put up with the smaller screen size if it weren't for that shit.

>>6700613
>It's absolutely not a port
I'd like to interject here. It most certainly IS a port. "Port" doesn't mean that there are no changes. "Port" simply implies that the original codebase was adapted to run on different hardware. They almost certainly didn't build this game from the ground up for GBA (that would be a "remake"). It's a port with added features.

>>6700637
They can still be the same game with differences. Is Ocarina of Time v1.0 a completely different game from Ocarina of Time v1.1 because Ganon's blood is a different color?

>>6700645
Even that definition isn’t quite spot on, it is a port since it tries to give the same experience on another platform, but I think the GBA port is built from the ground up due to the SNES original likely being written it the native assembly language which would be totally different from the GBA’s language.

However no doubt they had the original SNES code to look at and it was a translation job, but in history plenty of ports were “clean sheet” where they were writing the same game from scratch for another platform.

A remake on the other hand is not where you’re trying to represent a game as authentically as possible on another platform (a few minor enchantments not counting) but where you redesign a game based around modern hardware and design practices.

We have the original source code thanks to the leaks a couple weeks ago. There's no "likely". It is 100% written in assembly.

>>6698085
This was the first version I ever played, so I have nostalgia for it, and playing the SNES version was a good upgrade.
However upon retrospect the constant screaming was annoying.

It's good, but not that different from the SNES version. It does have an extra dungeon.

>>6699062
there are more than 1. i'm one and i post here like once a week. gba is a portable snes and eventually you will accept that.

>>6701515

It doesn't matter if it's a portable SNES. It matters if it came out before 2000 or not.

>>6701515
>I break board rules once a week
Good for you anon

>>6701515
you're a faggot and eventually you will accept that.

>>6701579
Say one by a actual faggot.

>>6700846
This.

/vr/ needs to introduce a rule whereby ONE single thread may be active at any one time in order to discuss retro games remade or re-released on modern consoles, i.e. one active thread for all remakes, not one thread per remake.

Whilst technically following the rules, OP is quite obviously spamming GBA remake threads in order to provoke and is therefore also trolling. He personally has no interest in following up on the discussion, his aim is purely to annoy.

>>6701728
He's the most annoyed of all. If he tries to make an actual GBA thread it gets deleted. Just let him throw his tantrum and let the few people actually discussing the remake or port discuss it.

>>6701402
True but we didn't really need the source code to know that. Pretty much all games back then were written in assembly, it was the only way to properly take full advantage of the slow hardware.

>>6699727
As much of a fag I am for the AGS 101 model of the SP. The micro is so damn slick

Any system that didn't have a fucking backlight is retro. Fucking cope.

Ant system powered by batteries is retro.

>>6698085
>screen zoom
>have to glitch into the new dungeon because it's locked behind 4 swords
It's trash Jim.

Wait a minute, this came out on the GBA. That's not a retro handheld.

>>6702210
No, retro is determined by year, not by backlight. The N64 is a system that didn't have a backlight and it's retro.
Check question and answer 25.
>>6702285
Ports are allowed but spamming threads about them will not make GBA retro, see question and answer 23.

I'd be okay with this if it wasn't baby link voice.
Why is twink a child in so many games? Hate playing as a kid hero.

>>6698726
Super mario world is superior with the pallette fix patch. Having the spin jump mapped to the shoulder is a no brainer. What was Nintendo thinking back then?

>>6698110
>>6702595
The irony is that LttP was specifically aged up in design because Nintendo knew an older Link was more appealing to play as to a western audience. Of course, the LttP port takes place in a post Eiji Aonuma Zelda franchise and he's completely retarded about anything that isn't something he made.

>>6702589
This. Why read some grampa's boring essay when I could be "dabbing" on him with a brand new GBA thread instead?

Reasons sixth gen are retro:
>Last console generation where the Japanese were in the lead game development-wise
>Last console generation classic /vr/ genres like survival horror, JRPGs, and platformers were at the forefront
>Last console generation that many classic /vr/ series were relevant (Goemon, Mana, F-Zero, etc)
>Last console generation that wasn't HD
>Last console generation that wasn't full of DLC
>Last console generation that wasn't dominated by uber-expensive AAA movie games
>Last console generation before the politicization of gaming that culminated in GamerGate
Face it, sixth gen is the last retro generation

>>6702770
Not retro.

>>6702770
You don’t need to justify anything to these sad old men. Just keep posting 6th generation threads.

>>6702770
you're right but i disagree

>>6702770
No it's not, did you read the sticky? Retro has nothing to do with any of those things. Retro has to do with the platform's age. Sixth gen wasn't released in 1999 or earlier so it's not retro.
>>6702629
Now I know you definitely read it. And it makes you seeeeeethe.
>>6702589
Good point but I don't intend for them to read the whole thing. I just want to have something to refer them to so when they repeat one of their arguments they've tried 1000 times before, I can just say "look at question # X"

>>6702793
>No it's not, did you read the sticky? Retro has nothing to do with any of those things. Retro has to do with the platform's age. Sixth gen wasn't released in 1999 or earlier so it's not retro

While I cherish the Gen for all the reasons you stated, these specific ones aren't an argument as to why anything should be considered retro

>>6702896
This board is for the discussion of retro games, not your made up fetishes.

>>6703330
Those things all exemplify the retro era and sensibilities though

>>6703517
Are you retarded? If that's your opinion then go make a forum where you talk about how 6th gen is retro. Those things aren't how retro is defined here. Check the sticky.

>>6702770
That's nice but this is a board for discussion of consoles released before the year 2000. If you would like to discuss 6th gen there are hundreds of other websites out there for that express purpose.

>>6703559
Discussion of retro ports is allowed.

>>6703747
Good point. Let's change the rules to make ports not allowed. Thanks for the idea.
Friendly reminder that the rules will never change to allow GBA however :)

To be honest, it looks like they're having a good discussion of gba games over there. There's clearly no need to raid this board for it.

>>6704575
That’s fine, /vr/ is for modern 3D games released before 1999 so millennials can larp about liking retro games, for modern 3D games released 19 years ago, still on /v/. Very well defined cut off point that certainly is not just to reinforce the delusion that 5th gen is retro

>Word Whiz (Turbo Pascal 5.0) - 100
>Trek Trivia (Turbo Pascal 5.0) - 90

Yes, the 3D Realms FTP server is dead.

Here's a better picture for you, anon.

>PC shit
Irrelevant

>>6705557
Dumb consolenigger.

>>6698741
I wouldn't say it's ages that bad, but there isn't a compelling reason to play it now aside from the four swords bit...
As for other GBA remakes, Doom was pretty good on there compared to many console ports, and it might still be the best way to play it portable since touchscreen controls fucking suck.

>>6705541
Oh yeah I should have specified console games, I know very little about PC games of the era.

>>6699065
It might be worth having multiple era boards. For instance 1-3, 4-5, 6-7...
But the merits of that would be argued about too.
>3 doesn't belong with 1-2!
>6 should be lumped with 4-5!

>>6702629
So absolute based

When I was a kid and gamecube was the new hotness I considered everything before it to be retro, I still do, but I don't see 6th or newer Gen as retro at all to this day.
Gba was the first system I owned, less than a year later I got a GBC for cheap, an n64 for $20 at a yard sale and a genesis from a relative, even then I considered everything except the gba retro, despite the occasional new n64 boxed game at eb games being available.

>>6707453
It was on page 10 you semen slurping faggot, why did you go and bump it? Nobody cares about your trade in. More drastic measures will be needed now.

>>6707475
Yum yum yum
I bump the thread
And rub my tum

>>6705562
Haha Pee boo hoo over here.

>>6707453
>>6707475
it's the gbautist practicing his schizo roleplay.

now he's going to wait until the thread gets to page 10 again before he bumps it with more autistic rambling or wojaks.

imagine going through this much effort to destroy a board just because the userbase rejected your super monkey ball threads lol.

>>6707606
Since you can't read, I was agreeing with everyone who thinks gba shouldn't be on this board.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS HE KEEPS DOING IT

>>6707790
Wasnt aware posting was against the rules

It's better than the SNES version. Also GBA is retro ;)

>>6707897
>Also GBA is retro ;)
Then make a GBA thread where you talk about GBA exclusives and see if it gets deleted or not ;)
Uh oh! You can't. Babby is sad

Someone please bump in my thread. It's lonely here.

>>6704774
>with greatly diminished graphics
???

The SNES graphics are there pixel perfect, with the original palette and MORE animation frames and fixed graphical bugs (transparency, etc).
The game camera was adapted to the new resolution.
It's a direct port with tons of enhancements, in every single way.

>>6709979
>The SNES graphics are there pixel perfect
GBA has square pixels, SNES pixels are meant to be displayed as rectangles, so pixel perfect isn't perfect
>with the original palette
GBA is brighter
>MORE animation frames
Same animation frames
>fixed graphical bugs (transparency, etc).
No such bugs are in the original
>The game camera was adapted to the new resolution
Still shows less than the original

>>6710550
>muh 8:7 aspect ratio is the only correct choice
Says who? Nintendo offers both on the SNES Classic.
>GBA is brighter
If you're too low IQ to notice the second mandatory choice the game forces you to have just after the name input, yes.
>Same animation frames
Shameless lie 1. Animations for the sword, bird, enemies and bosses...
>No such bugs are in the original
Shameless lie 2. Palette errors during certain screen transition, bosses that pop out of existence have effects like melting or falling apart restored from source code...
>Still shows less than the original
The blank space in dungeon walls is now essential to gameplay?

Fuck off. GBA Zelda 3 has more legitimate enhancements than Link's Awakening on Switch, and that one is called a "remake" when discussed here.

>>6700148
Good post, thanks for making it. Some of these /vr/ guys are genuinely mentally ill.

>>6700148
Also what do you mean by charged attacks? Zelda 3 on the SNES already had that and swimming, if by charge attacks you mean holding a button so Link holds his sword straight out and does a spin.

>Japanese writing foreshadowing the future.

>>6698998
You can not permaban people from 4chan. it's just by IP.
The better solution therefore is too simply allow a more vague and liquid definition of retro as to not have every thread derailed by mongoloid gatekeepers.

>>6700148
Zelda 3 is for babby
>New moves (charged attacks, swimming, can collect more shit with basket)
That's not a good thing. It's a babby thing.
>/vr/ is a dying, rotting board
Then why does it have more activity than it used to? It seems like that's the opposite of dying, little zoomie.
>whose opinions on the GBA should never be taken seriously
Oh I see, you're seething about the GBA not being retro. Why do you care so much? It's a shit console anyways full of inferior ports like Zelda 3.
> They chased away someone with a rare version of Stafy 1 (a leaked unreleased localization from Nintendo)
Noooooo not my nintendie betaroni!!

>>6700148
good post. Reminds me of when this board was actually vidya.

>>6700148
wut? I played both the OG and the GBA versions and I didn't notice any of these changes aside from the voice

granted, that was a while ago, and I don't think I beat the original game, I got it after the GBA port

>>6711064
You come off as more of a child than anyone here.
The guy took his time to answer OP's question in actual elaborate manner, detailing all the improvements and downsides, and yet here you are with your garbage post saying shit like
>babby
>zoomie
>IT'S BAD BECAUSE... I SAY SO
>nintendie betaroni

Shut your goddamn mouth boomer, you make your ilk look embarrassing.

>>6711309
>>6711342
Both chicks? Hmm my type of girl.

>>6711342
>boomer
the sooner you realize these posters are "born in the wrong generation" zoomers and "90s kids" who were actually born in 1995. The more you will fully understand their autism.

>>6712709
this is a new strategy

>>6712714
nah.
Nobody who sees Sega Saturn, C64, turbo graffix a2600 and says "yes these are all the same era" but then goes "noo! Saturn and DC are different eras!" "noo altp on a 2001 handheld is totally modern" is actually old enough to remember any of this? do you think someone over 40 or whatever is posting 2016 tourist /v/ memes?

>>6711035
You unlock the hurricane spin attack after finishing a new sidequest.
However you need to play a significant amount of Four Swords to unlock the quest. I didn't know about it until recently.
