/vr/ - Retro Games

I remember playing this as a kid on the ride to the hospital to get my dick cut when I was seven. I was so enthralled with this game, I didn't even know what I was getting "surgery" for.

>>9884062
Did you?

I tried.

The levels were fucking horrible, like intern's first levels, really bad romhack tier.

Shit like this and the extra content in RPG ports at the time most of which are fucking horrible get meme'd by people and they cry when a subsequent release didn't stain themselves with this shit.
And at the same time quality extra content like in the Saturn version of Castlevania SotN get dismissed. Probably by the same people too.

>>9884064
Uh, what the fuck. Why did they do that?

>>9884062
Can some anon hook me up with the wii-u version rom featuring all levels?

>>9884064
Bing bing... wahoo!

>>9886461
Here you go.

I'm playing through them right now and think they are actually fun. More challenging than normal Mario levels, and they can do way more with the concepts. Feels like a set of lost levels for an unreleased Mario game.

Plus, I had the America E reader cards as a kid, so getting to experience those mysterious Japanese cards is making the kid in me giddy

>>9884064
Yeah you didn't get the level e-cards back then, no one did. Pretty sure you can't even legitimately too many of them active at once outside of Virtual Console.

Honestly yeah, dunno what people see in them. I think it's more the historical aspect of them being proto-NSMB since it spawned out of SMA5 discussion.
>And at the same time quality extra content like in the Saturn version of Castlevania SotN get dismissed.
Nah that's still mediocre, it's not the holy grail like Saturnfags like to pretend it is but at the same it's not a crime against humanity like IGAfags think it is. The new music is stellar though.

IIRC all Wii U roms were all completely unprotected in the SD card, which is kinda nuts

>>9884062
bought Mario Advance, F-Zero, and Circle of the Moon at GBA launch.
two of those games are some of my all time favorites on the system, while one of them was just not what i needed.
i still have them all, but it Mario Advance was the worst purchase I made for GBA (and i love SMB2)

>>9884064
Phimosis maybe?

>>9887180
Yup, you just gotta rename the file and bam. Technically speaking, you owned your own backups that way legally.

>>9887801
Yeah, hence why I'm surprised it even happened because that makes it 100% legal, and very easily at that
But honestly, it should be like that already everywhere else

It wasn't for medical reasons, it was religious. I did not know what a circumcision was or why it was done

This thread didn't go where I thought it would at all.

Actually I looked it up and it's as easy with DS, they're zipped or something
And for the rest, there's an extractor on github

>>9884062
Emulated and then I got a copy of SMA4 with the e-levels on eBay

>>9887882
Damn that sucks

>>9888101
OG 101 screen is a beauty.

>>9887882
This should be considered child-abuse in a healthy society.

>>9888178
Yeah, I thought that was a tiny PVM at first glance.

>>9887882
that sucks. I had my dick cut when I was 11 and the recovery made me want to kill myself lol. it was for medical reasons though

>popular liked thing is actually bad

>>9888345
It's true that there are romhacks with better levels and setpieces though.

>>9884062
Yes.
They need checkpoints.
