/vr/ - Retro Games

Smw was pretty fucking halfassed looking back it. Christ that is ugly.

>>9212446
Only the last boss battle was good. The rest were all boring. Then again, 3 also suffered from the same thing.

>>9212446
No.

I love mario bosses they are so underrated.

>>9212493
No, Mario games always had shitty boss battles until, maybe, galaxy.

>>9212372
He's actually not that hard. Just dodge the fireballs and knock him into the lava. Ez

>>9212446
That's not what the game looked like. You're looking at a digital rip on an LCD screen.

Wait...why am I explaining this to someone on /vr/. Are you ok, anon? You need an ear to listen? I can post my discord if you need help <3

>>9212530
Yoshi Island had great boss battles, though thats probably the exception that proves the rule

>>9212945
Yoshi's Island is not canon.

>>9212975
You need to take a cannon to your head canon, schizo

>>9212372
use the fireball to get him on the other side when it's tilted in his favor and jump on him after it's tilted in your favor
>>9212446
the koopalings and bowser look like shit but the rest of the game's pretty nice visually

>>9213012
Whatever, shit sucks so hard Miyamoto disavowed it.

literally impossible

everyone looked for a real entrance to this place for hours before finally trying this out of desperation or being told about it.

>>9212446
The game looks kinda plain visually but it's also a launch title, can't expect the best lookers out of the gate for stuff like this.

>>9213442
Come on, Every time I passed through it I tried a different weapon and tried to blow it up. Eventually one worked. The whole Maderia area was mysterious to me compared to the rest of the areas and the mocktroids scared me.

>>9213450
Plenty of launch titles look nice. Stop defending lazy games.

>>9213442
>10/10 exploration/atmosphere masterpiece
How dare you point out an overrated games flaws. Don't you know where you are?

>>9213442
>everyone
Maybe every autistic retard like yourself who is incapable of thinking outside the box

>>9212372
Why does Iggy look like Hirohito in US WWII propaganda here?

>>9213604
>thinking outside the box
Or maybe they should have had a 5 min unskiplable cut scene explaining the usefulness of powerbombs. You know movie games are superior to your old retro games for this reason and metroid already had an unskippable cut scene at the start of the game which didn't help you in the gameplay department which it should have.

>>9213442
>not just knowing about it from future games/osmosis
kwab
nah but really they do at least give you a hint with an already broken pipe in maridia, though i probably would've called the hotline in the 90s myself though were i able to play it back then
>>9213638
well, he is apparently demented

>>9213442
WTF? After about 30 minutes being lost, I just thought that tube was way too suspicious and made of fragile glass. The game actually rewarded my thinking and I was satisfied as fuck.

>>9213662
You tried too hard, anon... Better luck next time.

>>9212372
the easiest boss in the entire game you mean?

>>9213442
eh, I saw that the next room has a broken pipe and this one has space above and below it so I put 2 and 2 together.
Then again I played it as an adult, I could see younger gamers not really picking up on the cues

>>9213602
SMW does look nice though.

unrivaled.

>>9213442
I actually figured this out by myself, like 5 years. No cheats, guides, or anything; I completed the game by myself. It's not hard to imagine that glass would get broken by a powerbomb...

>>9213442

This is either a bait thread or zoomers are truly retarded.

>>9213442
I just looked at the map and noticed there was only 3 tiles discovered in that area. pretty easy to find out

>>9213417
>Whatever, muh head canon
Almost makes me want to like it
scd, schizo

>>9213923
>pretty easy to find out
Name one person who cleared Metroid without getting stuck.

I recall my first play through going to the ghostship without proper power ups due to not knowing where to go. I died and screamed cowabunga fuck.

>>9213442
God that pixel art is fucking sexy. There is good indie stuff being made today, but it's often done in a sort of kitsch or gimmicky or overly-minimalist way. These Japanese dudes did not give a fuck that most adults saw video games as childish at the time and they fucking WENT for it and pushed the technology to the limits. The technology of Super Metroid may be dated, but man, that effort and passion is eternal and still kicks ass. Fuck I love the 90s, bros.

>>9214312
you are 20 years old

>>9214315
20 + 14 bruh
Sorry for enjoying video games on a video game board lol

>>9213882
reznor exists

>>9214346
Trent?

>>9213442
>everyone looked for a real entrance to this place
you mean the other entrance you access through the wrecked ship?

>>9214349
him too but also the rhinoceros quadruplets
>>9214427
you can't use the wrecked ship entrance, i thought you could too but there's a green gate so unless you know how to do the glitch where you can hit it from the other side, you can't enter the main part of maridia without bombin it

>>9212493

I disagree... It was too easy, the whole game is.

>>9212530
Boom boom was a good boss. My older brother always helped me when he started to fly or go turbo mode on me.

>>9212446
Honestly it kinda is. The game is not on par with Mario 3 at all. It's good and all, but it's a step down.

>>9212837
Oh..ok.
So you just dodge him then hit him. Ok. Got it. Thanks. Good advice. Awesome. Very genious of you.

>>9212372
Of course it's impossible, he has a blue shell. You can't beat that.

>>9215772
Oh..ok.
So you just can't beat the first boss from a game made for children. Ok. Got it. Thanks. Good complaint. Awesome. Very genious of you.

too hard

>>9215835
Take my dick out of your mouth before you try to talk back to me about video games I haven't even played.

>>9215772
You gotta pay close attention to where the platform is leaning as well as it will affect where you knock him iirc, trick is to basically make it so he slides down the side. Forgive me I haven't played SMW in a while

>>9215863
>1280x720
I hate you

>>9212446
Wasn't anything else to play back then

Unless your local video store carries more Sega games (one near my house had maybe 20 games and they chose all the crappy ones for some reason)

That's been the standard minimum accepted resolution since 2005. Get with the times old man.

>>9213887
At least this one is explained in-game beforehand.

>>9214712

X to doubt.

I hate you

>>9217742
Don't fall for the bait, anon.

>>9217135
not him but i ain't old and that looks like ass
i mean i'd be fine playin the game like that, i played gba games stretched for years but i prefer it not looking like ass i had a choice

>Literally impossible
No shit anon! You're playing as luigi!

>>9212372
b+y+y
done

>>9218625
But he's the strongest character in the game. He can jump extra high and doesn't afraid of anything.

Some weeks ago I was going nuts about how this was supposed to be easy when I was a kid, and a nightmare now.

After doing it multiple times due to testing a few gamepads, retroarch setups, etc... I found the real issue was having enough patience to wait and do nothing until it tilts to the right side again.

>>9213442
The "Club Nintendo" magazine for registered users had the full guide.I never played the game until emulation came, but I read that piece of paper so many times that 10 years later I stillI had it memorized.

>>9213442
I figured that out easily as a kid. I regular bombed it before but as soon as I had the power bombs I tried one in there.
It was a great memory because I didn't press anything after and waited like ten seconds and thought it didn't work. Turns out it doesn't break until afterward when you move. Then I remember yelling "COOOOOOOOOL!" at the TV as the glass breaking animation was playing.

>>9219887
club nintendo era basado, F por Gus

>>9213442
Isn't there a similar but broken pipe a few screens away from this?

>>9220625
Yes, but Nintendo failed to include a power bomb in that same screen which would have clued most of us in. Metroid also fails to explain how to use most of samus's power ups which go unused 99.9% of players runs.

Watched my gf game over to this boss just to take the controller and knock his ass into the lava in like 15 seconds. Felt like a Chad ngl

>>9212446
I really do not like Super Mario World's momentum when running. You go at a speed that seems a little too slow, and then you immediately transition into a faster running speed and your jumps feel floaty. And then it's even more awkward to jump when you have the cape. In comparison, Super Mario Bros 3 feels more natural to me, and that's coming from someone who played Super Mario Bros before SMB3 or SMW.

Super Mario Maker actually has my favorite physics for running and jumping, it's way more intuitive.

>>9212372
Why is Iggy showing Mario his racist Chinaman impression? Did he think Mario would find it funny?

>>9222289
Anon, I think a "chad" would be knocking his GF's ass, not Crocomire's.

>>9222419
Mario needs to be politically correct, but not Luigi, the edgy younger brother, and that's the latter with Iggy. Regardless, all of them browse 4chan and show their true colors.

>>9212372
>jump on his head 10 fucking times
>he doesn't die
Wtf shit game
