Sonic 2

yeah

Cool photo. What are all the games? I see super metroid, goof troop, don kikon, kirby superstar, yoshi island, street fighter?

>>8167149
sunset riders

Super Smash TV
Donkey Kong Country 1-3
Bio Metal
F-Zero
Super Metroid
Speedy Gonzales

>>8167243
Super Metroid isn't fast.

This is, dare I say, quite fast

>>8167123
SNES action games all feel like dashing into a wall of thick cushions. The cheap ricoh CPU was a mistake.

>>8167249

it is when running and dashing with the speed booster

I know this thread was made just to bitch about the Super Nintendo, but we can turn it into something useful.

Picrel is Choujikuu Yousai Macross, japanese exclusive, but it's all in english (or, rather, engrish).

>>8167397
It actually wasn't, if we can find the fast games I'll be happy.

>>8167405
I'll take your good faith. But, for a parameter, tell us some fast games you like from other consoles, so we can see if there's something similar that we know of.

>>8167123
Australia-kun, do you have a fucking job?

The Megaman X series is far faster paced than going through scripted loop-de-loops as a ball and having the a normal walking acceleration of a boat.

>>8167531
Most "people" on 4chan don't have jobs.

>>8167249

This dude can't Shine Spark, lmao.

>>8167536
I like both, and no, it isn't.

>>8167605
Man, to be so easily amused that you get excited virtual roller coasters with no interactivity. I'm almost jealous.

>>8167612
Thanks, qt :*

>>8167531
Auster is old as fuck, he's probably living off social security.

The snes couldn't handle fast paced games. Anything fast or with multiple enemies of screen with brick the console. It's why it couldn't handle thunder force 4 or many others.

Mario is a slow shitty game for a reason

>>8167638
Press B.

>>8167638
>slow
Meh
>shitty
The game was rushed heavily, and was a first for the console.
Not defending it, I'm just saying it's not the fault of the SNES that it's a shit game.

>>8167684
>still has slowdown and loading
Holy kek

>>8167841
The rings are impressive, usually Sonic 1 slows down on the Genesis in the event that this occurs.

>>8167149
>don kikon 3

Why are you faggots so obsessed with speed anyway? Do you all have ADHD?

>>8167684
It’s kind of funny how the SNES was better technically in every single factor compared to the Genesis but it just can’t make Sonic 1 look good on its hardware. The colours, the music, it all falls wrong compared to the twangy OG

>>8167123
Uniracer
Fzero
Mojack whatever
Erm

>>8167638

Genesis apparently couldn't handle Thunder Force IV either, according to the slowdown-ridden gameplay I just saw on YouTube. It also clearly couldn't display enough colors simultaneously, or play enough sounds that differ strongly from chainsaw noise, to prevent the game from being quite ugly.

It's still probably quite fun to play. I assume it's more fun than, say, Rendering Ranger: R2. Speaking of which, check out stage 7 here, starting at 47:00: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl7D25I6yDc
It starts off slow. Keep watching. Ask yourself which aspects of this stage the Genesis could handle.

Anyway, I'd still rather try Thunder Force IV, or play the even more slowdown-ridden Gradius III for SNES. Slowdown isn't good but it's better than the tedium of a generally bland game. These old consoles both relied on some terrible, crappy hardware, and they both supported excellent games and bad games and in-between games.

>>8168035
Holy fucking cope

Are nintendo fags seriously this retarded?

>>8167571
You can thank China for that for unleashing their bioweapon on the world and shutting down the country's economy.

>>8168023

OP didn't say "fast movement". SimCity is a naturally slow-paced game that bogs down the SNES' weak CPU horribly once your city grows large, but it's still able to produce enjoyment at a fast pace. That is the kind of "fast" that matters.

Fast movement is often boring anyway. It works in F-Zero where you can see what's coming, and it works in Uniracers where you can remember what's coming (because it's a mostly lap-based racing game with that encourages retrying courses) and where there aren't a lot of monsters or death pits ready to stop your fun every time you make a mistake. It's fine as an occasionally used gimmick in games like Battletoads and Gradius. It's not really good in games like Sonic or Bubsy.

I like shooting out bullets fast in Alien Soldier or masturbating to orgasm fast while my Street Fighter game is paused during that one animation frame of Chun-Li's briefly exposed buttocks. Fast movement is not especially exciting, in general.

>>8168040

I take back everything I said, and I apologize. I made a terrible mistake trying to argue against your side in this important argument. Your side is just and correct and superior. Please allow me to write you into my will. Please allow me to serve you for the remainder of my life.

>>8167684
What the fuck, I came here to post that infamous Speedy Gonzales Sonic bootleg hack I used to own at the time to find actual Sonic on the SNES.
BTFO Processing.

>>8167405
Zool is pretty fast for a 2D platformer

>>8168035
TF4 also has a lot of stuff going on though, way more than the average Snezz shmup's "action" which are good for putting you to sleep.

>>8167397
Holy shit dude a Macross game I can play??????

Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel

Captcha: MARY0

>>8169240
why do people post their captchas

>>8167320
A pity this ability was never implemented well outside of when you acquire it.

>>8169589
You can get some interesting and relevant gets. I've gotten ONIONS and PS4.

>>8169752
With a 5 character captcha that doesn't use I or O?
Impressive.

>>8169928
ONIONS

>>8169928
If only there were other letters or numbers that could replicate those...

>>8169961
There's not enough characters to have it plural, and you don't get Is, lowercase Ls, or 1s
You could potentially get 0NE0N, but that's really reaching. It's easier to say he wasn't telling the truth.

>>8167684
wtf, at 55s when he gets it it's faster than the Genesis

>>8169589
Besides what >>8169752 said, there is always that paranoid guy who wants to prove he isn't a bot and solves the captcha himself.

Unfortunately, OP didn't provide a parameter, even when asked for it. We still don't know what is a "fast game" he's looking for. Is it scrolling speed? Gameplay speed? Reaction time speed?

OP, haven't you heard? The SNES only runs at 1/3rd the speed compared to ALL it's competitors.
The Mega Drive is 3 TIMES faster.
The PC Engine is 3 TIMES faster.
The Amiga? You guessed it, 3 TIMES faster.
It was simply too slow to handle games with the same sense of action and depth of gameplay as the other far superior hardware available at the time.

Rendering Ranger R2 is pretty fast at some points. It's quite the technical marvel.

>>8170290
>>8169928
Bruh
It filters the word s.0y to onions

>>8170434
I can't tell if this is a troll, but I believe it

>>8167253
Lmao

I remember playing this at my friend's place, genuinely thinking he might be an alien for having this. Fun though.

>>8167253
The saddest part about this experiment is that Uniracers was a GOOD game. Because it basically proved that the SNES has to strip away pretty much everything to have a game as fast as Sonic, it got funded excitedly in the attempt to make the claim, and then quickly swept under the rug when it looked embarrassing for the hardware in the end. But IT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD GODDAMN IT.

>>8172072
You do know the reason it got swept under the rug was because of a "copyright infringement" made by Pixar, right? Right? Please, don't delude.

>Ctrl+F sparkster
>No results
C'mon guys

>>8167638
>Thunder Force IV
You mean that slowdown mess?, there are way smoother shmups on the snes

>>8170434
cringe sneshate tranny

>>8172396
Sparkster is a great example, but I didn't mention it because OP never specified what he wanted for a fast game. See, Sparkster has its moments of slowdown, and I didn't want to cause any whining like "nooooo it's not like muh favorite console with 300+ fps". For that matter, I'd suggest something like Space Megaforce (Super Aleste) or the aforementioned Rendering Ranger.

>>8167123
Everyone of these wannabe revisionist SNES threads by a lonely Australian reek of desperation. It was fantastic, plenty of good games, it was popular, and the hype surrounding it is real. You are not going to convince anybody here that the childhood consoles they like, and thus their memories, are incorrect. Go get drunk and work this out of your system. It's old, and so are you. FFS.

>>8173268
Sounds like you're scared he might.

>>8173268
dude none of us here are old enough for the snes to be childhood

>>8173272
Sure, snowflake.

>>8173272

Get a load of this coomer.

>>8173272
bait?

>>8173296
No.

>>8173303

Then you're delusionally retarded and underage. Get out.

>>8173305
You're closer to 40s than to 18.

>>8173317

Yes, and?

>>8173323
I mean oof

>>8173327

What kind of range did you expect to find in this board?

>>8173327
You do realize 4chan has been around for nearly 20 years now, right? I've been here since I was 15, that's more than half my life. I have seen many people post here who were 50+ years old, and that goes back to 2005. If you think this is someplace that's just for teenagers and early twenty somethings then you need to lurk the fuck moar.

inb4 someone tells me to take my meds

>>8172830
>I'd suggest something like Space Megaforce (Super Aleste) or the aforementioned Rendering Ranger.
came here to mention Space Megaforce too, it runs fast as fuck and no slowdown iirc....

>>8167123
Hey, don't be ableist. It's not the Snezz's fault Nintendo gimped its design.

>>8173327
>he thinks he won't be here when he's older

Yikes.

>>8173272
I played Intellivision when i was a kid.

>>8173435
I think at this point 4chan is skewing older. I can't imagine a lot of teens would see the appeal when their internet has always been made up of discord servers and twitch streams.

>>8167149

People make fun of older posters here but I think you're a much bigger loser if you're young and choose this site. At least I can remember when it was good.

>>8178641
We're all here forever so we're all losers in the end, and that's the beauty of 4channel.

You really gonna make me say it?

>>8176315
Casualised dogshit. Go play the superiour arcade version instead.

>>8176315
Great version and harder than the arcade.

>>8167968
It's just consolewars kiddies, arcadechads know all consoles pale compared to arcades, but still had some decent exclusives.

>>8179763
THE SUPERIOUR GUY! how are you?

>>8179834
Your new friend is right though. Arcade ports on snes all suck balls.

>>8179836
except geneshitters got cucked with arcade ports all the time LOL

>>8179878
Not always.
>Snezz Sunset Riders
Enjoy your censorship, both console versions of that game are shit compared to the Arcade.

>>8179884
>b-both are shit anyway!!
>b-but muh data east jank!!

You are mentally ill

>>8179954
doubt so, i'm not a geneshitter with divorced parents and a ruined life LOL

>>8167123
X

>>8180267
Nope, has slowdowns. They even did SA1 hack cope for it:

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5145/

>>8181401
What's funny is, the 2 years older and much cheaper Mega Drive hardware has no problem running this game without crippling slowdowns: https://youtu.be/pa4G9_xuOns?t=140
Capcom chose the wrong platform, a shame as this game would have truly shone bright on the 3 TIMES faster Mega Drive.

>>8181480

nobody gives a shit retard, anyone can fix old games today as proven with super ghouls 'n ghosts restoration hack.

>>8181502
>homebrew shit
Jealous because you don't have any? Nobody wants to program for a console that only runs at 1/3 the speed of ALL it's competitors, so whilst we enjoy an influx of new, amazing homebrew games for the Mega Drive, PC Engine, Amiga, and other performant platforms, your console of choice will languish and only grow increasingly irrelevant.
https://youtu.be/istNgDl9IvI

>>8181556
The only MD homebrew worth a shit is Xeno Crisis , everthing else is just pathetic snes coping and tech demo trash because MD fags have eternal inferiority complex LOL

>>8181570
Cave Story is on the Sega Genesis. Where's your SNES version? Oh right, there isn't one, lmao.

>>8181619
Why would I play an inferior version of a game I played back in the mid 2000s?, sounds like something only a segafag coping with divorced parents would do lol

>>8167123
snes didn't have blast processing (tm)

>>8181639
>Why would I play an inferior version of a game I played back in the mid 2000s?,
Sounds like cope. I will go enjoy the game on my (true) retro system whilst you cannot.

>>8182734
>muh fake retro cred
Why is the average broken family segafag like this?

>>8182742
Not sure what you mean. I just like breathing new life into consoles that I own and enjoy playing on. You can't relate because the homebrew scene for Snezz blows.

>>8182959
Console wars posers like you don't even play games to begin with

>>8182959
Console wars posers like you don't even play games to begin with, the library is big enough to bother with mediocre homebrew shit.

>>8183060
>he hasn't played every game on his favourite retro systems by now in almost 2022

Slacker.

>>8183069
watching the intro isn't playing the game, poser.

>>8174757
reminder that tony's poop smells good

>>8183074
Keep coping and projecting if you want, but it's not gonna help you finish that backlog you procastinate on.

>>8183080
I'm not in a hurry to play and enjoy games, unlike certain retard coping with mediocre homebrew shit.

>>8183082
>I don't actually play retro games. I'm just here to shitpost all day every day.

We know, lad, we know. Also, you're the only one who thinks Cave Story is shit.

>>8183085
>not doing both
inferior segafag genes
>Cave story
Game is alright, but again why would I play an inferior version of a game I played almost 2 decades ago? how is this "breathing new life"? sounds like just MDfag cope to overvalue the homebrew scene

>>8167536
Would have loved to seen Megaman X get some Genesis ports but problem is it shipped at first with that three button controller which is unfortunate in retrospect because most games had to be designed with three buttons in mind rather than 6 like Snes. I actually sometimes listen to genesis remixes of X songs.

I grew to like that Genesis sound so much more than Snes.

>>8168035
It seems fine to me mostly. From 35:50 there is a lot of slowdown but this game would have probably been nothing but slow on SNES. I remember Super R Type having a ton of it to the point it was the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9IwetlmOhE

>>8172072
Mario runs faster than Sonic does.

>>8183149
Every time you use something that's not the basic weapon the game slowdowns lol, even worse on bosses/midbosses

At least it's not as big of a cope as having to add another CPU to keep your games from running like absolute shit.
