/vr/ - Retro Games

>>860023
Which games do you like for it?

I have:
Go Raku Ou Tango
Bistro Recipe
Medarot: Perfect Edition

Easily the Sharp X68000. I've lusted over that thing for most of my adult life.

Even though its probably not what OP meant, the Panasonic Q. Its beautiful.

>>860112
Too bad it's not retro.

>>860085
Agreed. Best version of many Konami classics.

>>860085
X68K
WSC
MSX2
SuperGrafx (the only one of these I own)

Famicom

I think I prefer the first Master System. But those side mount controllers - man, something about them.

>>860023
Mine is wonderswan too
I have digimon and some robot game.
Any recommendations for other games?

>>860396
Also, the game gear console some guy in Japan made. Which, while not really what was meant by 'Japan-only console', I'd probably be willing to fork out £200 for. If not just to get around bleeding caps and dying LCD screens.

PC Engine. Fuck the Turbo Grafx-16. The majority of it's games are way over-priced for shitty ports of superior Japanese games.

It is still the smallest home console in history. The Genesis 3 and Canada-only Wii mini are the only ones that come close, but they're still slightly bigger than the PC Engine.

The TG-16 is twice the size. Literally, for the same amount of space I could have everything the TG-16 had just stock without the AV Booster +, and still get the benefits of the AVB+ (after a composite mod to the Tennekoe 2).

I can literally think of a handful cases where it was better to have the TG-16: the Bonk series, Silent Debuggers and both Neutopias. Most PCE games are in English. Not like it matters anyway, the systems were mostly shitty shooter clones.

>Sharp X68000

Not a console.

PC-FX. And for my favorite game, Machi.

>>860085
is the game playing music while it's still at the command line and loading?
that's pretty bad ass, why didn't any western computer games do this?

>>860806
I think computers that were used mostly for games should count

>>860791
>for shitty ports of superior Japanese games.
what are you talking about? it's actually one of the few consoles where most games aren't changed at all for the US versions
and when they are it's usually just a sprite here and there

Twin Fami?

MSX?

>>860827

Fair. It also has some bizarre games like:

- Toilet Kids
- Kato-chan Ken-chan
- Pastel Lime

>>860396
didn't they change it slightly though when they turned it into the master system and not all master system games are backwards compatible

>>860818
>I think computers that were used mostly for games should count

The X68000 wasn't meant to be used just for games, it was a high end computer (Capcom used them to develop their CPS-1 games). It had games, yes... but those things were really expensive as gaming plattforms, it was ten times more expensive than any console back then.

>>860838
Speaking if the MSX, is there a guide some where to what games need what add on carts? It would make emulating it so much easier. Also, the MSX systems were also released in europe if memory serves me correctly.

>>860857
>MSX systems were also released in europe

Not all of them, some models were only released in Japan.

>>860849
>The X68000 wasn't meant to be used just for games
yet it was, and also neither was the amiga
>it was a high end computer
so was the amiga
>yes... but those things were really expensive as gaming plattforms, it was ten times more expensive than any console back then.

yes, and so was the amiga, yet people in the gaming community regard it as mostly a gaming platform, I fail to see your points.

Astro City?

>>860869
disregard the yes it was
that shouldn't be there and I don't know where it came from

>>860870
that's an arcade cabinet, not a gaming console

>>860849
What about the PC-98? That was a more affordable computer with lots of games available for it.
What about the FM Towns Marty, does that count as a console?

>>860875
What, precisely, is the difference?

>>860882
umm... one is made for home use and the other isn't...

>>860881
yes to both

>>860887
So then how is Wonderswan a console?

>>860881

Well... the FM Towns Marty is an actual console, so that one should count. The PC-98 is another computer, and unlike SHARP, NEC and Fujitsu actually entered the console market.

>>860952
The Marty can still function as a normal FM Towns much like the Amiga CD32 is a functional Amiga computer.

Welcome to /vr/, the board where every decent thread gets bogged down in semantics by neckbeards who desperately need to tell someone they're wrong at least five times a day.

>>860961
qft

>>860961
Welcome to your standard retard who complains about a board and does nothing to help make it better.

>>860957
so any console that can function as a computer makes it not a console then? Since, in japan at least, most consoles had adon/carts that allowed them to function as if they were computers that rules out about any japanese console then.

>>861074
Except for the Wonderswan.

>>861090
oh yes, that's it then, Wonderswan is the only true japanese gaming console, everything else is a computer and can not be talked about in this thread

>>861074
The difference is that the computers came first. An Atari VCS with a BASIC cartridge is still a console but an Atari XE disguised as a console is still a computer.

>>861101
And for that reason the WonderSwan is my favourite Japan-only console.

>>861105
for christ sake, you are just splitting hairs, this is ridiculous, give it the fuck up.

So I think what we can all learn from this is that the next time someone makes this kind of thread, it should be "What is your favorite Japan-only console/computer" to prevent an autismfest.

>>861124
voice of reason

>>861051
I posted the Twin Famicom, the MSX, and the Astro City cab. What have YOU done?

>>861843
>Not ignoring trolls

>>861647

Xbox controller is only slightly smaller than a Dreamcast. Sounds about right.

>>860112
the blue LEDs make it run faster

>>862345
It is about right. the original controller was made for giants

FM Towns Marty
Partly because of the fucking ridiculous name that puts it up there with Isuzu Mysterious Utility Wizard in the pantheon of wacky Japanese product names, and partly because it sounds like a Genesis that grew a pair.

I can only imagine what Thunder Force 4 or Streets of Rage 2 would sound like on it.

One of these days I'll buy one. Seems a lot more solid a purchase than most other Japanese-exclusive consoles, what with all those shmups and arcade ports.

>>860838
It was also a euro machine.
