Are there legitimately *any* retro games which are the pinnacle of their genre, but aren't 6th gen?

It's hard to think of many, if any.

>> No.11557519

Yeah, there are, what kind of question is that? Like 2D platformers definitely peaked before the 6th gen

In fact, I can’t think of any genre that did peak in 6th gen. Maybe third person shooters.

Nobody thinks that other than nostalgia driven zoomers who legit never played anything else, and honestly, are too young to really know about this gen anyway in depth since it isn't widely emulated and are going by "i love y2k vibes" shit and watching youtube vids

It is a funny phenomenon that the 30-40 year olds who made up this board prior to 6th gen inclusion, almost nobody considered it the best gen for any genre.....like ever, other than FPS which isn't as popular here as other genres, and yet we were still young and relevant gamers when it was current being 10-20 something, so you can't even say nostalgia wouldn't play a factor, it's more just objectivity

I'm every bit as nostalgic for Kingdom Hearts as I am FF6, but FF6 is a better game, etc.

I played this for the first time against my boomer uncle 7 years ago; we're both super into fighting games and he's a capdrone who grew up going to arcades

I loved Darkstalkers 2, Darkstalkers 3 was okay, but I hated turbo mode for both, it makes the game spastic and decreases the skill factor

I think Darkstalkers 2 is one of if not the greatest traditional 2d fighting game (or, hell, "2d anime fighting game") of all time.

Why do you countersignal it as if you don't like it---projecting?

4th gen was the pinnacle of many 2D genres. You have some rare very nice looking ones on 5th and 6th gen like SOTN or a handful of Vanillaware games but it's not even a contest, between Mega Drive, Super Famicom and PC Engine, no other gen can compete in terms of platformers and general action sidescrollers. Modern 2D games are a love letter to that era. Well, and late Famicom era as well, but really, 2D didn't really get any better afrer some of the greatest of 4th gen, it was the peak.

I’ve also played both. BGII is an all around better game. It has more to explore, more customization, more quests, more characters, better writing, faster combat, and one of the most fun magic systems ever.
KOTOR’s main advantage is the setting and the 3D graphics, but the latter forced them to make it much smaller in comparison.
