cart-based systems are the best.

Most games in this image don't reasonably have an equivalent on SNES

>>9404509
this is true for things like the DS versions. Not on this image, but fucking hell was Pokemon Diamond and Pearl slow as fuck. Everything took so damn long.

>>9404509
it's a portable so people don't have time to wait around but GBA also has a nice fast CPU, it's easily more powerful than the 4th gen consoles in tat regard

>>9404570
>playing any Pokemon game released after Crystal
Wow what a stupid stupid person you turned out to be

>>9404509
GBA versions are almost always better than SNES versions.

>>9404873
>dude screen crunch is fine lol
No. Shut up already.

Play Ninja Cop

Play Asterisk & Oberisk XXL

>>9404575
>he doesn’t play FireRed or LeafGreen

>>9404906
Yeah, I don't.
>more railroaded
>way less exploitable with glitches
>missing kino original Game Boy sprites and aesthetics in favor of a more bland version of Ruby/Sapphire's presentation
>still has all the engine and gameplay flaws introduced by Ruby/Sapphire
>can't be played with Pokemon Stadium and the multitude of benefits that introduces inclduing 4x speedup
I'd happily rather replay the Game Boy originals.

Super circuit is the best mk, dont let anyone tell you different. Also this spiderman kicks ass.

>>9404575
If I had stopped at 2nd then I would have missed the best generation IMO. In fact, I still marvel at how much gold/silver felt like a tacked on extra and not a full-featured game, and at how people manage to think that being able to steamroll the shitty theme park version of kanto somehow improves on gold/silver being a total shit region overflowing with useless gimmick pokemon. The only part I like of 2nd gen is the soundtrack and the day/night cycle, and some nostalgia I have for the graphics and environments. Also, they fixed the horrible type balance. Otherwise I'd rather play 3rd gen, much better gameplay and much better region/new pokemon, I don't even mind the water trumpet.

4th gen was both the best and worst thing for me. Best in that I enjoyed and put a lot of hours into it, and worst in that I wasted a huge chunk of my life on it. I can't touch pokemon anymore, too much time put into GBA/DS games. I played one crystal romhack recently that let you free roam the entire game. That was my one last dose, and I'm not touching pokemon ever again. I also don't care enough to post any more about it.

>>9404568
But on other consoles. Mario and Luigi has much better pacing than Paper Mario games for example and Zero Mission fixes Metroid

>>9405842
Not retro, but wait until you find out about Pokémon MMO. Pretty insane that Nintendo hasn’t shut it down and also that they haven’t just done it themselves long enough ago that it should be retro.

>af
no zoomer nigger speak please

>Super circuit is the best mk, dont let anyone tell you different.
Much easier than SMK and doesn't have the charm. SMK has the most memorable music and some of the cutest sprites ever
Super Circuit really just has the pretty backgrounds going for it

>>9406263
It's just a way to say it without actually saying it/swearing. It's less nigger if anything

>>9406305
Super Circuit is hard as balls if you want to get 3 star ranks

>>9406309
It's yt bois trying to sound like niggers so I'd say it counts.

>>9404565
Why did they have to take away that second style change slot?
I will never forgive them

Stopped reading there, you fucking disgust me

>>9404942
have you played spider-man 1 movie one?

>>9404942
Tried to enjoy this Spider-Man but apparently the key is to just crouch and sweep attack when enemies get up

>>9404570
Also third gen was the last to run consistently at 60fps. I remember going from Emerald to Diamond and noticing that all the screen transitions and fast moving objects looked noticeably choppier (because they're 30fps). I didn't know what a framerate was at the time, but even then I could tell the difference.

>>9407189
Same. The choppiness in the lifebar going down/exp bar going up drove me nuts.

It was the best generation also for that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAjRuGdXeOE, i'm a huge ruby/sapphire faggot, i also liked the 3ds remake just because of Froslass

>>9406317
I recall reading once that no one even knew the exact combination of requirements for getting 3-stars on SC. Is that still true, or have people figured it out?

>>9406535
>how
here's how I think about gold and silver:

>pokemon consist of three cool starters+evo lines, plus about 85 useless space fillers, gimmick evolutions/devolutions, with only a dozen or so actually worth a shit
>most hard to find/out of the way pokemon are useless gimmicks which cheapens the reward of finding them
>still not enough useful ghosts or dragons
>region consists of good music but nothing really memorable about locations or gym leaders
>ow the edge rival isn't interesting
>region still heavily relies on RBY pokemon making the new pokemon largely into a gimmicky expansion pack where nothing you hunt for is worth the time
>"comfy" additions like pokeradio are largely a worthless waste of time
>calling trainers is largely a worthless waste of time
>kanto is ridiculously underleveled and you faceroll through it like a 40-year old rock group on a shitty reunion tour, making GS kanto a cheap imitation of the original
>after all that crap you spend even more time grinding your team up to fight the one interesting boss in the entire game (you spend more time going through useless timewaster bullshit to get to something worthwhile and interesting in gen 2 pokemon than perhaps in any of the others that I've played, which given that includes the godawful gamecube games is saying a lot)
>apricots are a useless gimmick that only serves to make make the shitty pokemon no one actually wants into something slightly easier to catch
>days of the week don't contribute anything useful
>day/night is cool but real-time clock both drains battery and makes certain things annoying purely on scheduling

tl;dr they tried and experimented on a lot of things and most all of it just proved to be useless garbage. The only important changes were breeding, held items, and counterbalancing the game to nerf psychics. The music is good, the aesthetic is good, but 2nd gen overall feels like a patch. Necessary step but I won't go back.

Sonic Advance series is solid, people seem to enjoy the Castlevania games on there though I haven't played them yet, I personally have a soft spot for Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure and Kirby Nightmare in Dream Land (technically a remake of an NES game but, w/e). Gradius Galaxies is okay I guess.

>>9409068
Dang, totally forgot to mention Scurge: Hive and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. If you like top down action adventure you'll probably enjoy one or both of them a lot.

>>9409068
Gradius Galaxies is great. If you enjoy Nightmare in Dream Land, you should play Amazing Mirror, too, it's fun.

Not GBA but Final Fantasy I & II on WonderSwan are the fastest versions and they have none of the bullshite added to the GBA+ versions, shame their English translation patches are slightly incomplete because the hackers got spooked stepping on FFOrigins' toes.

>>9409085
Amazing Mirror is much better in terms of ability usage. Nightmare in Dream Land was ruined mostly by all the frames they injected to take advantage of the GBA. Attacks are slow and clunky as a result. Amazing Mirror fixes the issue by cutting and speeding the animation to feel more instantaneous from your B-Button input. Aong with these and a few other amateur mistakes, the best version of Kirby's Adventure is the 3DS recreation.

>>9409179
Sure besides Amazing Mirror repeatedly requiring you to bring abilities to places to unlock a little secret or entire path, it was annoying especially when the Smash power seems to exist so you can break most of these hurdles stopping you from just fucking progressing

>>9407130
Not always. And even still doing that requires some timing, did you get to any of the bosses?

>>9409179
I actually just finished Amazing Mirror for the first time.
I enjoyed it and the new abilities are all fun but I disliked the open world gimmick. I felt like I spent about a third of the game backtracking and trying to figure out where I was supposed to go.
It's a fun game but to me it just felt derivative of Nightmare in Dream Land. I wouldn't consider it a must play even for a fan of the series.

>>9404509
I agree for the most part but including Fire Emblem 7 is a fucking joke. One of the longest, worst tutorials in any game and the only way to skip it is to have already beaten the game on that cart.
Easily one of the worst starts to any retro game.

>>9406305
If its easier than smk thats only because SC controls soo great. Add the brighter color hack and better sound and its glorious. Paper mario references get big bonus points with me also.

I liked regular GB and GBC better. Anime sucks.

>>9409807
Forgot pic. I love this game.
