/vr/ - Retro Games

Like GameCube and GBA was a killer combo with non-stop bangers

>the ludo of playing this in multiplayer with friends

That's kind of how I experienced these systems. I got into the GB first, and then the Nintendo consoles were there for playing these bigger 3D versions of games I was familiar with, but I was always very rooted to the GB and GBA as my core systems. You could take them outside with you, so they were always just fully a part of your life.

>>9650641
Handhelds in general become forgotten as times goes by. They're utilitarian things, as they lose the utility of being "the best version of X you can play on the go" nobody wants to play them anymore.

>>9650641
Because everyone had a Nintendo handheld. You might have had an Xbox or a PS2, but you'd still have a GBA for example.

>>9650679
That's why they were clever with the GB line though, because they often focused on original games you couldn't play elsewhere. That's why Zelda for the GB gets remade years down the line, and the Megaman Battle Network games all get re-releases, while no one cares about say the Gamegear version of the Master System version of Sonic 1.

>>9650679
While there are plenty of games that are literally "the best version of X you can play on the go," now that we don't have a handheld market anymore I really feel the whole left by games that were more than that. There's a different design ethic to handheld games that I enjoy, and mobile gaming doesn't fill it sufficiently for me.

>>9650641
Why wouldn't it be "fair". I care about library on a console I paid money for. I don't care about Sony's issues with their TV business, why should I care about Nintendo's involvement in handheld business.
>>9650679
Nintendo hardly fit that. GB line is its own thing. Same is true for DS. Wonderswan and NeoGeo Pocket also have their own identity.
For 3DS you're right. Game Gear feels like portable SMS. PSP is a port machine. This is where the issues you're describing fits.
>>9650736
Even with PSP I think many games didn't get that. Metal Gear is the main one that comes to mind that understood it.
I think in a way this is similar to why we like 90s edutainment games. They knew how people were going to play it. Even if you're not that interested in that product it's nice to see how they dealt with it.

>>9650969
>Why wouldn't it be "fair".
For reasons stated. Nintendo's general output is or was deliberately split in two, supporting multiple devices at the same time and expecting you to use both, which most fans did. I always find it asinine to pretend just comparing, say, PS1 and N64 considers the whole picture of what Nintendo had to offer, but this is usually the conversation for decades now

>>9650691
>while no one cares about say the Gamegear version of the Master System version of Sonic 1.

all the 8bit sonics were their own unique games, including sonic 1. most of them have gotten re-releases such as on the ps2 or the wii

they all sucked ass though

>>9651117
Sonic 1 and 2 on Gamegear are literally the Master System games. Triple Trouble was original, but it's still not much to speak of as a game. You're not going to play it for it's own sake, if you have access to real Sonic, like you might with a Wario Land game.

>>9650641
Never heard of people doing that. Only pic related.

> Call a "handheld" a "console"
> Americans go ape shit

Always confused me

>>9650641
Yeah it's weird. Basically everyone who had the latest Nintendo console always had the latest Nintendo handheld also. It's weird how people forget that they were basically a set.

>>9650641
Dumbest 64 cope shit I've ever seen yet.
First, you can own a ps1 and a Gameboy you fucking idiot.

The Gameboy is of no fucking relevance you pathetic copefag.

>>9651405
They weren't a set, revisionist faggot. They were 2 different things. PS1 owners could buy a Gameboy. Derp.

The majority of Gameboy owners, did not own a 64. That is a mathematical fact and is not up for debate.

>>9651437
>arbitrary cope comparison that ignores half of Nintendo's output
>calls others cope fag
OK

Nintendo consoles also used to be at least $100 cheaper than the competition, making a handheld more affordable

It annoys me to no end how boring looking modern consoles are.

>>9651448
Not him but you're fucking retarded.

>>9651589
Because you don't actually "own" your console, you're renting it from Snoy/M$ or Nintendie. You will own nothing and you will be happy.

What's with the influx of Nintendo copers on this board lately

>>9650658
I played this with a few mates back in the day. I had three link cables and it was such an amazing time.

>>9651405
They were never a set. What are you on about? Even ops post confuses me, I've never ever heard anyone describe Nintendo's game selection "starving"

>>9651426
Kek, this post sums it up best. Although n64 wasn't that bad, just lots of cope here

>>9651428
>The disk is shipped with fucks up gba graphics
And yet literally nobody complained until these last few years.

>>9651448
>n64 is better than ps1

>>9651701
>things didn't happen before i heard about them
Why are zoomies like this?
People have been complaining about it for ages. GBI is nearly 10 years old.

I get what he’s saying. Growing up without really using the internet I didn’t even know there was a console war. I played gameboy and NES and later on N64 and Gameboy Color and then GameCube and Gameboy Advance then Wii and DS and I just never ran out of things to play. I also wasn’t exactly rich so I hardly even came close to playing everything. Looking back at PS1 and 2s vast library I nor any of my friends, even my well off ones, had even half the games on those lists and knew of maybe only a couple of the larger ones like Metal Gear Solid they never got. Comparing something retroactively to its potential versus its actuality is a bit foolish. Games were expensive when you were a kid, piracy hardly golden. Hell, one of my friends wanted to borrow a game to pirate a copy for himself and he ended up destroying my disk, so I was very piracy averse after that experience for years. If you want to compare and argue about it now potential matters, but I don’t think it matters when you actually talk about the reality of the situation. I didn’t know anyone who had Symphony of the Night growing up, nowadays it’s my second favorite Castlevania behind Rondo of Blood and only slightly beating out Castlevania 3. But I didn’t play any of these games before I was an adult, what I played growing up was was Castlevania 1 and 2 on my dads NES, and I didn’t play any of the ones on my N64 because. Well I never actually saw any at GameStop or at a yard sale. I played rogue squadron and army men and Mario and Zelda. My pals with their PlayStations played Spyro and Crash and a lot of shitty shovelware I don’t really remember (like army men Kek)

And we all played on our game boys and gameboy advances because that’s just what you did. We’d get the game links and play advance wars together or trade our Pokémon. Nintendo put out and published some fantastic games on their handhelds.

>>9651970
And we would trade games a lot because well it was much easier to loans a friend a game after he had beaten it than to buy it yourself. Unless it was something like advance wars which we found so fun we all ended up buying our own copies after one pal had shown it to us. Limited save files and multiplayer and all that. Plus we would skirmish and no one ever unlocked everything (except me I eventually finished everything in AW2 years after they had all moved on lmao) so some games you just had to get for yourself so you’d wait for your birthday or do yard work and mow grass to get it. But seriously even my pal who’s dad was a doctor who would continually buy and update his computer to play the newest games on PC, and then would give his son his hand me downs, didn’t get every game. I mean they had an Xbox even? And he had a lot of games for it but not everything that would show up on a top 10 best Xbox games list. Even if they could technically have afforded them all he had neither infinite time nor infinite knowledge and my friend was playing on his gameboy as much as his fancy Alienware computer or fancy new Xbox none of us had. We’d all go over to his house to play halo or some of his exclusive four player party games, because that’s just what you did. You played games and shared with your friends. The amount of call of duty matches we would play together was immense on the GameCube.

>>9651426
Yeah, I had a Genesis with a Gameboy and Game Gear.

>>9650641
I could play ps1 and ps2 games on ps3 too, does that mean ps3 has all those games?

What about PCs that emulate consoles??

>>9650641
Nice attempt but it's not working

>>9650641
N64 is still awful >>9652056
(even though those others are good)

>>9650641
>>9651156
>Why do some poeple think it's fair to look at or compare Nintendo libraries while _completely_ ignoring Nintendo's handheld output?
the only time i ever heard of someone make this kinda argument was SBFP
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWOaXSrAgrU

the funniest part about their argument is that you can apply to almost every game from the 6th gen onward. specifically the playstations, xboxes & dreamcast.

>>9651428
>Switch is a hand held you retard
And none of that design ethic has gone to it. It just plays console games.

>>9650641
Because comparing Nintendo’s handheld output to anyone else’s is like pitting a prize fighter against a disabled kindergartner

With the exception of some delusional Sony fanboys in the mid 2000s everyone already knows who wins that fight

>>9652690
This

>>9652468
God Pat was such an unbelievable faggot in that whole argument.
>the Gameboy was bad and had no games, and I know because I didn't have one
>Doesn't know that Megaman 5 is a different game on the GB
>Doesn't know that Castlevania 2 is a different game on the GB
>thinks the GBC somehow had a better library of games, when it was around for like two years
This was the exact moment I realised he was a moron, and I WILL punch him if I ever meet him.

>>9651624
>Not him
lol
>you're fucking retarded
Pretending there was only the SNES/N64/GameCube/Wii and Nintendo's output wasn't deliberately split in two is what's retarded and a _completely_ arbitrary and utopian comparison

>>9651743
>if you count every game nintendo has ever released since
No, if you count the games for Nintendo systems that were literally newly made and available in that time frame, for the same money + portability

>>9652056
Nice argument

>>9652724
>Doesn't know that Megaman 5 is a different game on the GB
its worse than all 6 nes games
>Doesn't know that Castlevania 2 is a different game on the GB
again, same thing

>>9652708
The ps1 has a better library than the Gameboy. Do your cope still fails.

>>9653342
PS1 is the most overrated console ever if you don't care for JRPGs (waiting simulators)

>>9651970
>Growing up without really using the internet I didn’t even know there was a console war

Oh I fucking knew because there were always faggots on the playground arguing over whether the N64 was better or whether the PS1 was better, and it sometimes devolved into shoving matches and crying because someone "insulted" someone else's favourite console. Thankfully my parents were rich so I had both consoles, and a Gameboy. Later on I got a PS2, Gamecube, GBA, DS and PSP. All the while I knew the console wars were going on but I sort of regarded them as the purview of peasants who felt insecure in their buying decisions, because they could only afford one system and its associated software environment. I mainly focused on playing the games and came to the conclusion that I thoroughly enjoyed all my consoles equally.

>>9653554
My friends and I all shared and went over to each other’s houses. I always wished I could have the same stuff they did, but I was never seething over it. It’s just the way the world was and one summer I just worked my ass off with my brother so we could get a 360 in high school to play games with our friends when it came out. God we played so much halo together in split screen. I was a pretty sheltered kid and entirely uncaring of most of the usual nonsense that seems to permeate console warring. I dunno, maybe these guys just don’t have friends, maybe ignorance is bliss. Lord knows I wouldn’t have played so much Army Men 2 if I had had Symphony of the Night instead. But I can also say the same as if I had had Majoras Mask or Megaman or Banjo and Kazooie.

>>9651117

If you think the Gameboys library is better than this, it's because you're grading them on a bullshit curve where games are allowed to be barebones trash, cuz Gameboy. The GBA, DS, and PSP shit on the normal Gameboy too, just for the record.

>>9650658
More like the obnoxious way of devs shilling the GBA adapter instead of just allowing you to open a small menu on screen. There have been co-op games with inventories before it and they fit on one screen. No to mention you only adjust your menu list at the beginning of a level.

>>9654506
Not that guy and not arguing the GB has better games but most of those are trash or not even worth looking at since objectively superior sequels exist. Stop posting this cringeworthy pasta

>>9654661
>Stop posting this cringeworthy pasta
It's satire

>>9654081
Not from 1995-2001, they didnt

strangest part is how sega failed and nintendo didn't when they were putting out a similar amount of stuff

>>9654506
I agree with everything you said except the gba part...

Idk why, but it looks unplayable to me - other than the snes classics on there. Can't really say because I've never owned all of these at the same time though. You're right though, gameboy doesn't look like it has a large library for it

>>9654052
I was drawing conclusions to what you may have been implying. I’ve only played the Game Gear once, 25 years ago, and the Sonic game I played looked similar to the Sonic game I played on the Genesis, so I assumed they were both 16-bit.
I never bothered looking at the Game Gear specifications, so I was a bit bemused when you referred the first Sonic game as an 8-bit game.

>>9654671
>>9654661
>sequels exist therefore bad
Shut the fuck up faggot.

>no mention of N64 Xfer Pak

are you all zoomers?

this is a nonsensicle cope if you're not talking about that

>>9654950

Not everyone was as spoiled as you were.

>>9654710
I didn't imply anything. I haven't see anyone ITT refer to the first sonic game as 8 bit. I didn't even make the post you drew your unhinged conclusions from. I just pointed out you have serious problems with reading comprehension.

>>9653342
To anyone else’s handheld output you dipshit

>>9655287
i didn't have it, but anyone gaming at the time would be aware of it. i bring it up because it's the only way this cope makes any sense.

>>9650641

Handheld were judged on a different standard even back then.

Everyone considered handheld to be second rate games with a few exceptions such as pokemon or the igavanias. The worse graphics, but mostly
the smaller screen meant it could never be as engaging. The whole point of the handheld is it was portable so it's second rate games got a pass.
The games were also cheaper so that's another reason for the double standard.

Let's take RPGs as a illustration.FF7 stood for everything RPGs were transformed into: epic adventures with cinematic touches that brought story telling to realms that hadn't existed before. Sure you could bring up a good cutscene in games before ff7 but those were one offs, FF7 started epic and never stopped. Nothing on the gameboy could do that and we all knew it.

>>9651426
either an only child or a friendless loser, sad either way youre still seething at not owning ultra 64bit hardware

>>9654506
>mentioning every game that isn't absolute dog shit
>down to Frogger and Dr. Slump which is a fetch quest simulator and shittier than the Doraemon games on 64
>not even mentioning Hogs of War which was easily the best multiplayer game on PS1, licensed kino like Tarzan or actually good niche games like Ore no Ryouri or Jade Cocoon
Gotta hate Playstation ghetto kids. Also who compares Game Boy with PS1? OP says Game Boy plus N64 which are partially the same generation so it makes sense. Not Nintendo's or Sega's fault Sony didn't know how to do handhelds

The poster I was replying to mentioned 8bit sonics. I wasn’t aware the Game Gear was 8 bit until after I made the post.

>>9656841
What does that have to do with anyone saying
>The first four Sonic games were 8 bit??
I just don't get it. Are you stoned or retarded or what?

>>9650641
Nintendies are such babies. Imagine making a whole cope thread just because people in other threads made you mad. N64 and Gamecube sucked.

Same with Sega then though. The Gane Gear was dope

>>9651426
>First, you can own a ps1 and a Gameboy you fucking reeeeeeeee
Whereby you admit Nintendo games are good and worth buying platforms for.....while missing out on the best and most ambitious ones? Also no reading comprehension, OP is looking at it from a fan perspective. You can pretend this isn't about fandom but it is and your fanboy hissy is the best proof

Let's assume the GBA has an endless sea of 10/10 games and the GC has 5 good games while the PS2 has 10: PS2 fans would pretend the GC is shit and Nintendo fans get nothing. That's actually the dialogue of the last 30 years brought to an extreme. Utterly pointless and childish

>>9657169
The existence of one good console does not make a separate independent console better just because they were made by the same manufacturer. The fact that you're trying to elevate separate consoles just with association is a massive cope

>>9657117
The goat handheld

>>9657263
>separate
Pitched at people with a similar taste in games, one centered around playing at home and one around playing on the go. The only reason it's not called the Home Boy is because the name would be dumb and diversification 101
>independent
Not even 100% true since there are shared features
>The fact that you're trying to elevate separate consoles just with association is a massive cope
It's your manchild mush brain clinging to something you thought mattered for 30 years when the realist argument is Nintendo simply wanted some games to be portable and fans always ate good. If your comparison can't prove the opposite, what's the point? Oh yeah, coping

>>9656004
Op is comparing them you dumb illiterate nigger. N64+gameboy is still fewer good games than the ps1.

>>9657169
The n64 is endlessly praised by the most effeminate, obnoxious, blue haired, beta male, cross dressing eunuch faggots on earth, because of TWO GAMES. Mario 64 and Ocarina.

And literally everyone is fucking tired of hearing you shitters blabber endlessly about the only 2 games you've ever fucking played. So everytime you dpeedrun troons and plebbit niggers come here to circle jerk about the only 2 games you've ever fucking played, we're going to shit on your trash box until you fuck off. The 64 is garbage, it's an embarrassment and worse than saturn. Nobody shits on the gamecube. People who love ps2 also love the gamecube, the gamecube is a gay nogaemz piece of shit like the 64 worshiped by troons like its their religion. You 64 niggers are the juggalos of gaming.

>>9657681
No it's not. They are b2 separate machines. The Majority of Gameboy owners never owned a nig 64

>>9650641
Because most handhelds up top PSP only had botched ports of better console games or compromised games with inferior graphics and controls

>>9650641
>Snoy at school be like: lmao your Nintendo 64 has no games besides x
>me: oh no that sucks buddie *chilling with friends and trading Pokemon I can use for my 64 game, later playing Oracles kino on the bus with headphones so I no longer have to hear him*

>>9658921
Us: the 64 sucks
You: Y-Y-YEAH? WELL I'VE GOT A GAMEBOY!
Us: so does everyone else faggot. But we've also got Playstations with infinite games to play.
You: WAAAAAH ITS NOT FAIR

At this point it feels like we get a "N64 is underrated and was actually better than the PS1" or "Nintendo was always better than Sony even during the 90's and early 2000's" thread every week by N64 fans that just can't let go. N64 was an excellent home console and Nintendo has always been good at that, but Sony absolutely dominated the 5th and 6th home console generations, it's pretty hard to deny that, while N64 had a few titles which are seen as the greatest of all time, it also felt pretty lacking in many genres, while PlayStation had some of the best franchises ever in every single genre one could ask for, both were good in their own way, but it's easy to see why PlayStation was more appealing to most back then, just like how Nintendo is dominating the current one with the Switch by quite a lot and will probably surpass the PS2 in sales pretty soon, by making something that's simply more attractive to the consumer than its competitors... it's pointless to discuss who won or whatever, especially for generations that have already ended, just emulate all of them and play what you enjoy like a normal person, my friends, it's more fun that way.

>>9659885
>N64 is underrated and was actually better than the PS1"
Agree. Emulating both and as someone with very high standards who just wants to game, my N64 list is just as long as my PS1 list and I play 64 more. Back then I played PS1 more but when I want RR now I play 7, when I want AC now I play 5 or 7, when I want Tekken I play 7, when I want Ape Escape I play 3. The platformers don't hold up and RPGs I can play only so often

>>9650641
All console comparisons are irrational bs but people are tribal

>>9650656
Back in the day I was always jealous of the one kid in the neighborhood that had a game boy player. Like damn, I wanted to play SMB3 with true rumble. It's the only reason I bought one for my own collection despite not using it all that much myself.

>>9659925
>my N64 list is just as long as my PS1 list
So you're a fucking idiot with only 20 ps1 games? PS1 literally has over 200 good games and N64 has about 20, 40 if you want to be really generous and start including some D tier shit (but then it would only be fair to include the ps1 jank at which point ps1 probably gets another 200 games).

>>9650641
Because it's an unfair comparison of you're a diehard Sony, Sega, or Atari fan. Nintendo had always made the best games next to Sega after the American collapse of video games. Fanboys can compare PSX to N64 all day but when you add Game Boy and Game Boy Color it's just impossible to win any arguments against Nintendo.

>>9661814
Not a single good game on the n64 was made by nintendo. The system was carried by western devs. and it's western titles that sold the best on it.

>>9661814
For the 5th time, this is nonsense. The Gameboy barely has any good games. PS1 literally has more good games than 64+gameboy. So once again, your retard argument doesn't even succeed if we pretend that it isn't jibberish.

>>9650641
I hope Nintendo will return to that formula. Hybrids suck and aren't worth winning pointless list wars against Sony fanboys

>>9662506
Why do you dislike hybrids, anon? I mean, it's pretty much having the best of both worlds on a single machine and purchase, which is why the Switch will probably become the best selling console ever in a few years, it's a perfect formula.

>>9662623
>which is why the Switch will probably become the best selling console ever in a few years
It won't come close to the DS and PS2. PS2 was bought in droves because of the DVD player on top of being a good console. Nintnedo would have to make a Switch that lets you use it as a phone

>>9662506
What's wrong with it, you get both a home console and a handheld, what more could you want?

>>9650641
That might just be the best edition of the N64 console to me. Pic related is also nice but maybe a bit too understated for some.

>>9662623
>>9664048
Not him but there is literally 0 way a Nintendo hybrid doesn't sell like hotcakes so we have the current situation where the Switch sells no matter what and Nintendo barely even has to provide software and can let us wait 10 years for a Zelda BotW DLC. At least in terms of Nintendo first party I think their other consoles got more good games, probably because Nintendo had to try harder
Also
>best of two worlds
Not really when it's too weak for a home console and barely portable with shit battery life

>>9665294
>>9665294
The switch has a nonstop slew of releases. Certainly more than the competition which has shockingly little.

>nintendo fans
why do people believe that players religiously only bought things from ONE manufacturer?
everyone in europe had a playstation and a gameboy as well

>>9666159
As someone who grew up with a PS1, PS2 and GBA, I can confirm that this really was the case.

All I see in this thread, especially in OP, is a lot of coping from Nintendo fans. I'd get the comparasion if there was a way to play Game Boy stuff on N64, like on SNES and Game Cube... but there wasn't, and many kids owned a PS1 and a GB/GBC, because a lot of kids wanted both a home console and a handheld... the handheld generation is something Nintendo was winning comfortably, as they always did, while in the home console department it was PlayStation, because it was better than its direct competitor, which was the N64, not the Game Boy or N64 + GB/GBC, it had more good titles in most genres and much better 3rd party support overall.

N64 was excellent, it really was, but PS1 won fair and square, it's been over 20 years, just let go...

>>9666127
>The switch has a nonstop slew of releases.
Not great ones
>Certainly more than the competition which has shockingly little.
True

I just think times generally suck more today, less good things, money is worth less, less love put in things, companies even more controlled by outside investors and Switch is no exception

>why do people believe that players religiously only bought things from ONE manufacturer?
No one said that but Nintendo fans who love Nintendo games (not the Snoys who call them shit all day) obviously also played on Nintendo handhelds and weren't short of games

You are the one making the entire thread about the N64 because you are coping (probably insecure because you know PS1 games have shit gameplay and its GOAT is a JRPG, i.e. a JPG compilation with three niggas in a row)

I'm not doing any of that, the thread's OP is literally an image of N64, and it's the console that Nintendo fans have to do the most mental gymnastics when defending, the NES and SNES don't need any of that because they were good on their own.

>(probably insecure because you know PS1 games have shit gameplay and its GOAT is a JRPG, i.e. a JPG compilation with three niggas in a row)
PS1 has a much richer library than N64, it's clear that you're the one coping if you think PS1 only had JRPGs, while N64 probably has less than a dozen titles anyone cares about.

>most mental gymnastics when defending
That's its haters when it literally has some of the best games ever made and the most critically acclaimed game ever (and its direct sequel kek), actually. Making it clear to people like you that it also shared a Nintendo library with other Nintendo systems and you aren't supposed to just own an N64 is just the mortal dagger thrust

>>9650641
Because, then SeGays and SoNEETs would need to admit to Nintendo’s objective superiority ,

>>9650641
gc with gba was peak nintendo
