/vr/ - Retro Games

FF7.

I might try to play and beat the Shining Force III trilogy. I'm a little intimidated because it's three full strategy RPGs back to back to back.

>>9874346
Idk, something affordable so I guess a visual novel I can't read. I'd rather just play a game I own but I gotta buy one to celebrate I guess.

>>9874346
Gonna finish the Shining Force III trilogy, only Scenario 3 remaining.

As every year, Virtua Fighter 2. Probably will play some expert mode and maybe I will make my new gf play, she likes fighting games.
btw, fuck the bernieposter.

>>9874346
Finished the 2nd one a long time ago and loved it! I think I owe it to myself to give this one a try.

>>9874346
Probably Ghen War or Solar Eclipse.

>>9874346
Probably Sega Rally Championship and Fantasy Zone.

>>9874361
YOU STILL DON'T HAVE A SEGA CD?

>>9874346
Gonna replay Panzer Dragoon Zwei

I will continue my playthrough of a non /vr/ game where Segata is an assist character.

>>9874365
It's 20 hours each. Don't worry.

It's not 180 hours JRPG it's just 60. Calm down and do it because it's an incredible journey and you will not ever be able to pick your bro or waifu because there are so many solid units.

>>9874346
Probably just Sonic 3D Blast and NiGHTS, same as usual. Even after playing many of its games I still prefer the basic ones. On a somewhat related note I'm hoping to get a junk Saturn soon just to sit next to my other consoles while I emulate.

>>9874861
>I'm hoping to get a junk Saturn soon just to sit next to my other consoles while I emulate
Someone needs to explain the psychology behind this to me.

>>9874950
I never play any of my consoles anymore, I would buy a working model, but between the price of the games and knowing I will never play it anyway I would rather just buy a junk model for cheaper. Even better if I can figure it out and make it work somehow (but I'll still probably never play it lol)

>>9875048
Why bother spending money on one at all if you're never going to use it? Just so it can take up space on a shelf?

>>9875060
You're getting baited

>>9874614
Black guy in gay glasses
Guaranteed that he didn't have a Sega CD either. Only white people owned Sega CD and ss.

>>9875048
More than half the time untested junk consoles work from jap.

>>9875060
If collectors were honest, this is the fate of most consoles

>>9875070
Yeah, and even if the laser is dead that makes it the perfect candidate for an ODE or other fun mods

>>9875060
Sorry to drag this out anon but it also does depend on the price, I'll only buy one if I can find it for cheap enough (maybe $40 or $50 max)

Gungriffon. It was the first game I bought with my used Saturn for $30 total.
>if the pic looks like ass then plz forgive my phone posting

I’ll go back to Quovadis 2 afterwards but I’m not playing the graphical slowdown mess of Virtual Hydlide again.

>>9874361
>not Xenogears
Hys

>>9875228
Based, I was going to say that

>>9874346
Probably break out the Xbox, at least this platform is still going strong... Sega seems to have faded away not sure what happened there

>>9874857
Really? I definitely thought all 3 scenarios were going to be 100+ hours. I'll definitely want to play this and PDS one day. Maybe after I'm finished with Vandal Hearts.

Is there any advantage in getting a switchless mod for my PAL Saturn with a Fenrir installed? I have one for my other Saturn with a working laser, and a 50/60hz switch for the one with the ODE.

>>9875723
I smell /v/

>>9875723
>Sega seems to have faded away not sure what happened there
And gaming as a whole has suffered greatly from it.

Fuck Microsoft consoles, btw.

>>9875723
The Saturn went out in a ball of fire sparked by titanic power struggles and chadlike disregard for developers in favor of raw power and aesthetics. Even the Dreamcast stands in the shadows of its chiseled ruins.
The only thing that faded was the traces on the xbox's motherboard due to the clock capacitor rotting them away with its allegorical slow guaranteed death due to carelessness and indifference

>>9874346

>>9876674
Based, dab on these /v/igger mulatto zoomers

>>9874361
Degenerate jarpig, no wonder you hate SEGA and their based arcade model that rewards skillful play over leveling up gay elfs.

>>9874361
Hey fuck you and your shovelware normie console

Going to try to finally beat the extra course in Sega Rally

>>9876678
Great taste, fuck the weebs

Mr. Bones

>>9877778
This
I was thinking it'd be fun to get my zoomie kid to invite a bunch of friends over to play 10 player bomber man. Take some pics with a setup for 10 with 0130/6s at the big CRT to hype it. Then when they show up we have 10 Saturns set up running Mr Bones. My kids friends aren't faggots so they'd probably find it funny.

>>9876683
you got trolled by a boomer speccy owner more likely

>>9877739
Not that anon but honestly I'm finding myself more interested in Saturn's western library as well lately, I played a lot of the Japanese games but realistically if I actually owned one as a kid I would probably playing more of the western games just like I did on N64 and PS1. Plus I like the classic longbox packaging with the white stripes

>>9877778
Surprisingly entertaining game. I was worried all the levels would be like the first level, but it actually turns out barely any of the levels are like any of the other levels.
>>9877840
That would be one expensive bamboozling

>>9874346
Shining the Holy Ark

>>9877908
I have boxes full of Saturns and sticks I picked up for ¥500, so even if I pretended that was all for this one troll it'd have cost me $100. A good -$1,500 after I sell them on ebay because they fulfilled their sole purpose.
Or I could troll again, and offer a free Saturn and virtua stick to any of them that can play Mr Bones all the way through. I can't even say beat, because it's just a bunch of mini games with a hilariously anti-climatic final boss "battle". Too cruel?

I will beat her game

>>9874346
Fighters Megamix

Currently playing Dark Saviour, will prob be on scenario 3 by then.

Also fuck the minecart section.

>>9878631
Without cheats it's pretty brutal, I'd say do it without and see how many game overs they can get.
>>9877908
Funny how the log rolling stage was easier than the first stage, it's almost relaxing in comparison.

>>9879610
I find it pretty casual and relaxing. There are a few levels where you're racing against the clock, but they're easy once you've played through a few times and know what to expect. I've made a lot of cheats for these guys, but strictly limited to removing continues/lives limits. That's not an issue in Mr Bones, so cheats aren't required. I do like how they punish you by making levels re-load when you die. CD load times are punishment enough for failure in a video game.

>>9874346
Why, the greatest stack em up of all time of course

>>9877778
Jesus Christ had the blues

Big time

>>9874861
>3D Blast Saturn
Enjoy your inferiour soundtrack, insufferably long loading times, and aesthetic changes which make the game look much duller.

>>9874346
Mech warriror 2

>>9874857
Hedva is the obvious best waifu...

>>9877778
THERE GO ALL MAH BONEZ

>>9875060
Well I gave it a shot, found junk ones auctioning for next to nothing but they ended up selling at just slightly higher than I was willing to pay. At least now I have a better idea of what to expect to pay for one, hopefully I can still land one by the end of the summer, if not it's no biggie. I can still emulate all of my games using my TV stick or my Chromebook anyway. Really just want it for sentimental/nostalgic reasons and nothing else.

>>9883472
>Hedva
weird way to spell Grace

based.

English patch when?

>>9874346

any good run & guns on the Saturn?

>>9888163
gng collection where you can play super gng with no slowdowns, thus cucking the snezz.

>>9875069
You're implying they didn't just steal them

>>9888324
Anything more contra-like?

Linda Cube, Layer Section tate, Vampire Savior, maybe check out some yellow label jarpigs like Cyber Doll or Gunblaze S. Bomberman would be cool.

>>9888440
Silhouette Mirage, I guess, if you're willing to look past the Trashure gimmicks and jank.

>>9890401
Looks neat, thanks.

>>9880767
BASADOOOOOO

>>9888324
>>9890401
lmao, what are you doing on a Saturn celebration thread, austroonlia? Go back to your specter and amigur

>>9874346
Asaruto Suito Reinosu 2

>>9874857
This is the game I bought a saturn for. Shining force 3 was just incredible.
>>9875228
I'm a big fan of Mechwarrior+Battletech / Armored Core / Heavy Gear / Earthsiege+Starsiege / Shattered Steel - should I play this one? I like mech games, is what I'm saying.
>>9876678
MUCH better than Total Eclipse
>>9883470
This had a Saturn port? I think I saw the SNES one at a friend's place in the 90s.
>>9888158
Lobotomy software did such a great job with this port. And the Duke3d one and also Powerslave of course.
>>9888440
Try Shinrei Jusatsushi Tarōmaru / Psychic Killer Taromaru

Anyways, on-topic, here you go OP. Pic related, I will play for the anniversary.

>>9888440
Asking a lot out of console that had a six month life span

>>9891547
Every console is undead here. Get with it.

>>9888163
Elevator Action Returns is the GOAT

Word on the street is Sega let the devs use the NiGHTS engine to make this game.

Also, is this the only "exclusive" Saturn 3D scotformer...?

>>9874346
Not in any, because I never played in this shit.

Happy birthday!

>>9874361
>snoy

>>9874346
If I manage to finish that new Zelda game coming out by then, I'm gonna start Panzer Dragoon. I tested them out for my Fenrir ODE just to see if it was working but after that I basically never touched the games. I got a Saturn for the arcade ports and Grandia, so this will be the first time I delve into one of its real made-for-Saturn games.

>>9874346
You tell me. (Fighting Vipers not pictured)

>>9874346
Well I tried OP. Gave NiGHTS a go

>>9894554
Sonic CD and Castlevania Bloodlines

>>9894554
>Golden Axe: The Duel
Why'd they have to port that instead of RoDA?
The Saturn could've used a really good belt scroller.

>>9894526
>catfags from /vn/

>>9895742
why not both

>>9896116
Whatever you do, don't play Sonic Jam. They fucked the sound quality on that version (not to mention some sound effects just being wrong), and for some reason, despite being on more powerful hardware, Jam's versions suffer from more slowdowns and higher input latency and weird micro-stutters. I believe it introduces new bugs as well, something related to Knuckles in 3&K. Shit port job from Sonic Team, must've been new hires that worked on it whilst the main team were busy developing Burning Rangers.

>>9896243
I've never even been able to play Burning Rangers, is it good?

>>9874346
Gonna celebrate the 28th birthday like I celebrated the birth by not even being aware that the Sega Saturn even exists.

>>9896265
it's kinda shit desu
all you do is run around rooms shooting at fire until you encounter the boss of that level
it's also extremely short and feels more like a tech demo than a proper game

>>9896243
I played Sonic Jam solely for Sonic World, which is also kind of overblown imo and feels kind of redundant when Sonic R exists which has bigger courses and allows you to do more stuff like spin dash and play as Tails and Knuckles with their own movesets.

>>9896265
For the amount of hype it gets, I was kind of disappointed with it. Looks cooler in videos than it actually plays, but you might have more fun with it than I did. Someone insisted to me that PSO is based 100% on Burning Rangers, so maybe it's the better game, but I've not yet played PSO.

>>9896739
I should also mention that there's almost no real in game music when wandering around the halls in Burning Rangers, so I guess it's supposed to be "atmospheric" or something, but I at least wish there was something cool playing in the background.

>>9896283
Spermatozoom are not even self aware. Let alone aware of what their donors played.

>>9897125
Wait until you hear about "Zillennials".

>>9874653
Ended up playing Guardian Heroes instead. Was very good, but not quite what I expected from a Treasure hack and slash and I realized way too late that the way I set up my stats for Han were terrible.

>>9896739
this game always looked like a prototype for PSO to me

>>9894554
god the saturn covers are just so fucking kino, what is it about that blocky 3d mixed with weeb mixed with genesis era alpha dudebro shlock, just a perfect storm

>not playing Virtua Fighter 3 and Daytona USA 2 on your Saturn 64X

bruh...

>>9875723
>Sega seems to have faded away not sure what happened there
I mean, the director of Sega USA at the time kind of put it bluntly, didn't he?
>Moore recounted to Glixel his futile efforts to demonstrate to Sega of Japan that the company’s relevance was declining. Sega’s American division filmed a focus group in late 2001 or early 2002 to get opinions from “a bunch of 18-, 19-year-olds” on how they saw gaming companies. The teens characterized Sega as “your grandad,” said Moore. “Used to be cool, but even he can’t remember why anymore.”
>Yuji Naka, Naka-san, maker of Sonic, is in the room. Now, he and I have a love/hate relationship on a good day. And we show him this, and it’s subtitled in Japanese, and when it comes to that piece he just [slams his hand on the table], ‘This is ridiculous. You have made them say this. Sega is the great brand, nobody would ever say this, you have falsified!’ He just gets in my face. So I said to the translator, ‘Tell him to fuck off.’ And the poor guy looks at me and says, ‘There's no expression in Japanese.’ I said, ‘I know there is.’ And that was it. That was the last time I ever set foot in there.

And this is the guy who said this in a 2000 IGN interview

>IGNDC: We'll get to one of those in a bit. But in general, that's the question on everybody's mind -- looking at how Sega is getting into licensing content, there's always the big looming question of Sega's future, whether there will be a Dreamcast 2 or whether Sega will go software-only, whether SOJ will start developing for other platforms... With the history of the Saturn and an opportunity to bury that history, we wanted to give you a chance to say that Sega is definitely dedicated to the Dreamcast.

>Peter Moore: We are fully committed to the Dreamcast. I said earlier about, before I got into the industry, how surprised I was that the Saturn wasn't in the game for five years -- and it actually was, but... Well, you were there.

>>9897780
>Guardian Heroes
Should have played the D&D Collection which is the games Trashure (poorly) ripped off.

>>9899098
Rough translation
>Is this the 64x!!
>Great cartridge slot. No matter how much media evolves, cartridges may still be the best, and the first compatible software will still be "Virtua 3"?

No way this isn't an April fool's hoax

>>9874346
Yep, it's kino time.

Best scotformer on the Saturn, change my mind.

>>9899435
>Rocket Knight Adventures if he pedoshit

>>9875048
I kinda understands. I dont expect most of my old stuff to work.

>>9874346
I celebrated it by playing a much better Sega system instead: the Dreamcast.

>>9901976

>>9874346
3D Blast, Burning Rangers, Sonic R, Nights into Dreams, PD Saga

...if I can even get fucking EmuDeck to not crash immediately whenever it tries to load Medanefen

>>9882994
saturn soundtrack was good enough to get remixed in MSR for the dreamcast nerd

>>9903014
and the Chad Drive version's got remixed for sonic adventure, your point?

>>9874346
Going to play the best version of Symphony of the Night.

So many choices...

Dare I say, the Saturn is the best 32-bit system of all time.

go play sega saturn

>>9899435
Played it for a bit, first one is better imo (but the 'Jamaica! Jah man!' part made me laugh)

>>9900752
... What?

>>9906824
hes referring to how both are platformers with some shmup levels thrown in

Xtreme Vapor Wave

how do you go to this piece of shit...

luv me saturn
luv me sega of japan
'ate bernie stolar

I tried playing one of those sonic Xtreme fan games and couldn't even figure out how to beat the levels or get to the super awesome boss mode. I was surprised that it kind of completely killed any interest in playing a hypothetical complete game by Sega
