Depends. The Hikaru board was first used for Brave Firefighters in 1999, which fits into the sticky's definition of /vr/-approved. More info: http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=724

I die less the further in the game I get somehow

I once used the 3DS's stage select to start after the last bonus stage and went through the rest of the game on one credit, including the hidden final boss, but playing from the beginning I usually die at least once or twice on the first couple of stages

>>2285547
I can't play this with inverted stick controls

But with Galaxy Force 2 it's the other way around

I think it's the fact that the screen doesn't pitch when you move vertically

I got it confused with Chihiro at first. Hikaru must have been expensive with its phong shading and shit.

>>2285567
Fantasy Zone got *two* Famicom conversions. But yeah, I'd expect these games on Western PCs more so than a competing platform in Japan.

Planet Harriers is pretty neat. Got to play it at Arcade Odyssey a while ago.
it desperately needed a port to something, anything, it's quite fun

oh, and most impressive Space Harrier port coming through :^)

it's actually damn cool (the music playing in it isn't actually from the system though)
but I truly have no idea why this was even considered or released

>>	Anonymous Fri Mar 13 13:18:03 2015 No.2287025 >>2287012 Because the PC-6000 and MZ series were still being used in the mid 80s. It's more surprising that the game wasn't ported to the Atari 2600.

The MZ-700 was vastly outmoded by the mid-1980s, but the programmer decided to essentially demoscene with it, making ports like this as well as original games and movies all in the machine's text-graphics mode. He's still doing stuff today, but not with old computers.

>>2286464
Never heard anyone say it was a bad dump or anything. Best way to check is look for hardware-based recordings on Nico Nico Douga.

They were kings of the arcade, everybody wanted home versions of their games for the system they owned. Easy to do that if you were a talented programmer and got in contact with Dempa.

>>2287361
Star Fox has power-ups, an OutRun-influenced branching structure, and plays slower with more set-pieces. I think you'd enjoy Galaxy Force II more, as that has scoring and crazy things happening in every stage.

Technically there are three. The first and second Fantasy Zones (at least the SMS game) were ported to the FC. Only Japan got the second one, while the first one was also released in the USA by Tengen. The Tengen version has duller graphics but better music, and was ported by Pixel. The Famicom version was ported by Sanritsu, and had more colorful graphics but arguably worse music. To this day, there hasn't been a free doer hacker to merge both, at least transplant the sound data from one into the other, but they're more than happy to retranslate a game that already was translated, because the localization didn't say "damn" that one time. All for free.

Hudson obtained the rights from Sega to make ports of the original Wonder Boy. While developing the NES version, they decided to change the main character to Master Higgins (resembling their spokesman/CEO at the time, and named after him in the Japanese versions).

Since they had the rights to adapt only the one game, future Adventure Island games diverged quickly from the Wonder Boy series. Sega really couldn't do shit about Hudson changing the character in their game because of the terms of their contract.

And that's why Adventure Island and Wonder Boy are the same game.

Sort of, he was Mejin Takahashi in JP, a Hudson employee (not CEO) who was briefly a minor Famicom celebrity due to his rapid fire talent, apparently 15 times a second. He's interviewed in an early Game Center CX.
