If you're talking about the american one then it's indeed a good hack

>>8996996
Hell yeah
Star Revenge 6.25: Luigi's Adventure DX
Easily one of the greatest 3D platformers of all time, better than at least one official Mario game (Sunshine)

Pokemon Radical Red is the best pokemon game I've ever played.

probably cheating but arcane dimensions is the best game, unqualified

>>8997063
Both Mario 2's fit

>>8996996
Lots of them.
The best hacks are among the best video games.

Take your pick of any of the top Super Metroid hacks.

>>8996996
Holy Crap Lois it's May from Guilty Gear

>>8997031
>Mario Kart Amped Up
Hell yeah, that shit is fun as fuck. The air control they've added to the game is great and while tricking on ramps is a bit rough it's neat to see in 64.

Homebrew games are at a disadvantage since they do not have the expertise and financial incentive professionals of the era had, as a result many of them are rather poor. Not sure about other platforms since my experience is with NES, Japanese homebrew games are heads and shoulders above their western contemporaries such as Astro Ninja Man or Blade Buster, but for western games, I'd say the Indivisible demake and Eskimo Bob are certainly worth playing. Oh and the Great Gatsby NES conversion is good as well, despite being short.

I’ve never really played an original game that I would consider this way, but there are a bunch of SNES improvement mods that I think are really a pure improvement and what the original devs would do in rereleases if they respected their own work. They’re more like dozens of mods developed over years, delivered as one package.

>Super Metroid Redux
Brings control and QOL improvements from the GBA games, in addition to many, many other improvements.

>Super Mario World 30th Anniversary Edition
More cutscenes (they’re good), numerous improvements, minor content additions (new Yoshi types), and a hard mode (it’s awesome).

>Secret of Mana Turbo
Brings true real-time combat to the game, but also dozens of other improvements like visible armor.

Mario 3Mix is one of the best NES games, as it improves on Mario 3, which was already one of the best NES games.

fan game based on a fan game, not retro and also SHIT
roboblast 2 is retro and actually good

>>8997274
Factory Adventure, GS 97 Reforged, and Vega were all pretty good too.

>>9001690
Gay game

>>8996996
Star Fox PCE

>>8996996
The missing link unironically feels like something you would have seen tossed in with the collectors edition gamecube ports of the n64 games.

This is a cope for being lazy and not having an eye for quality yourself, thusly you need an official brand slapped on something before you'll CONSOOOOM it.

Not retro, but I think Project M is a great game for the Wii.

FFVI T-Edition gets my vote. Wouldn't recommend it to a first-time player or FF newbie, though.

I'm playing A Super Mario World Central Production 2 and it's a 9/10 game so far with 20% exits completed. What an incredible adventure. If this game had been released commercially it would have been a big hit, although criticized for the difficulty and secret exits just looping around to where you already were.

>>8998485
The gba metroid games controlled like shit

>>8996996
yeah

I think it's the opposite - no force or monetary incentive means you can take as long as you want and implement as many esoteric ideas you have. On top of that you don't feel confined to a brand image or some specific difficulty level, you can go all out with it

Great romhacks are few and far between, but so are great games in general

>>9007216
It's a fine line romhacks walk like that. Devs have all the time they want to "finish" it, and so they can refine and add to it as much as they want. In theory, this can result in a game that's far larger and more polished than many actual games released for a system.

However, many romhacks also sufferer from being made by an enthusiast of the original game, which is good to a certain point. Mostly, it leads to the creator making the game far more difficult than the base and pushing so-called dead end mechanics further in an attempt to fix them rather than accepting that sometimes the system is neat but flawed. The end result is most romhacks are either flawed gems or so brutally difficult that the majority of players who haven't played the original a hundred times won't be able to enjoy.

Sonic 3 Complete probably belongs in this thread

Romhacks are never good and only autists play that shit.

>>8997217
What a fucking joke

>>9008085
There's no magic Nintendo juice that automatically makes "official" products better. Sorry.

>>9005523
The author still hasn't released a full version with all the custom bosses, still, fuck SMWC

Mega Man Rock n Roll is amazing and challenging but fair. Very good stage themes, every screen is deeply thought out, the bosses are tough but never just random shit (needle man) impossible to dodge. Roll is the easy mode, play the blue bomber for a true hardcore experience that really pushes the limits of what a Mega Man game can be. It was only made by one guy with help from playtesters

>>8998485
The low g gravity of Super Metroid is the best part of that game scrub

>>9008085
>t. Miyamoto

DK64 Randomizer is so retardedly fun. It's better than the original. With the D-pad character swap and glitch abuse, you have to actually get creative to reach places.

They're racing on the first Pocky & Rocky level :o

What's the deal with this? Just looks like Mario 64 with a slightly longer air dive. It's neat I guess, but I'm not sure I understand the fanfare.

>>9003750
Such a good soundtrack, I wish they will have showed the fairy stealer before becoming a monster.
