The reaper boss fight wasn't even that memorable, I'd rather have a better looking game overall than having 1 additional boss in a game full of bosses anyway.

I can count 10 games on N64 that aren't even 1st party.

Anyway, I already know how you are.

Confirmed for never having played MM. You don't have to shake everything, and it doesn't ruin the pace. Otherwise get good and get faster, then again, you probably haven't played it.

Sin and Punishment is one of Treasure's masterpieces. Although I agree GH and RS are up there too.

Too bad PS1 didn't got any Treasure exclusive.

I was going to get into N64 recollecting (I sold my old consoles and regretted it terribly) but ended up doing SNES instead. Had more emotional attachment to SNES.

N64 is..more affordable than the older systems. There isnt that big of a demand, it seems, for carts as for older consoles yet. So if you don't like spending alot of money (with exception to things like CBFD) it can be a good thing to start on.

Do you want to collect retro games because you want to play them or because you want to look at a pretty decoration shelf in the corner? Or perhaps for other reasons, such as to resell them?

>want to play them
Don't. Emulate. It's way more convenient when you can stick an entire library (and its saves+BIOS) on an SD card. I've considered selling all of my older games just for this. There is literally no point in dealing with the hassle except to play a few games that don't emulate well like Mario Tennis or Stunt Race FX. Emulation will continue to improve so this won't be a problem forever. Meanwhile, games are probably only going to get more expensive and rarer while the already trivial costs of data storage will continue to drop.

>pretty decoration shelf
Okay. Go for whatever you want then because no one can place a value on what makes you feel good but you. Research and find the best prices. Don't listen to people who say a game isn't "worth" something. Things are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them. Period.

>resale
Dangerous. Probably shouldn't bother unless you're going for option #2. They might go the way of Pokemon cards and become absolutely fucking worthless to the point you might not even make back your initial investment (certainly not after inflation). If you do make a profit, it won't be as much as if you invested the money in an actually legitimate financial venture. The upside is you don't really have to know anything other than liking what you're buying and knowing people will want it.

No matter what, there isn't really a "best" thing to collect. Old/rare things will only get older/rarer. Things that are just getting old (PS2/3 for example) might be bargains because they're old enough that no one gives a fuck about them but not so old that they're cool. Of course, if you get something that's total garbage, no one will want it 10 years from now either.

N64 has a following, but it's aged poorly.

N64 is probably one of the more expensive consoles to collect for at the moment. N64 games have always been expensive and they've only gotten costlier as retro collecting has become a thing.

Wow, a bit pretentious there. Not sure if those are "unique", but yes I can list 10 N64 games worth playing that aren't the usual 1st party Mario and Zelda or Rare games.

1. Mystical Ninja starring Goemon
2. Goemon's Great Adventure
3. Wonder Project J2
4. Ogre Battle 64
5. Mischief Makers
6. Harvest Moon 64
7. Dezaemon 3D
8. Shiren the wanderer 2
9. Super Robot Taisen 64
10. Getter Love

Granted, most of these are JP-only, but I guess they still count, right? I'm mostly a japanese game collector. I wouldn't use my N64 and Saturn nearly as much if I didn't play imports.
However, if you prefer a more western-flavored list, I'm sure there's enough racing games that were exclusive to the N64 and also pretty good. Or the pro-wrestling games made by AKI (which were commercialized in the west as the WWF licensed titles), are regarded pretty highly by people who like that genre.

Not saying N64 has the best catalogue. It doesn't. And if you hate Nintendo's games (for whatever reason), you're limited to a small catalogue of 3rd party. But yes, there are 3rd party games worth playing on the N64. Shocking, isn't it?

Yeah, I was an idort too, which means I like lots of games on lots of systems and even the ones I don't have I don't have any malice toward. The weird thing is this >>2338090 guy and others like him fail to realize that any argument they apply to n64 games could also be applied to ps1 games, or any other old games for that matter. But honestly that argument would still be wrong, because there are things that retro games did that have been lost, haven't been improved upon, etc. The fact that they can't see it in n64 games confuses me, but what confuses me more is why people feel the unending need to shitpost so much about it. Like, I don't really care for point-n-click adventure games myself, so I ignore threads about point-n-click adventure games. I don't feel the need to go into the thread and tell everyone in it how they're wrong and how their games suck and how modern games convey narrative or a sense of adventure better. I mean I don't even believe that, because I don't play point-n-click adventures, so there might even be something I'm missing.

I just never understood the need to bring other people down about things they like. It has to be an insecurity thing, right? I mean what else could it be?

I'm telling you, we've been invaded by ratmen.

you kids never stop projecting. 5th gen isn't retro, retro gaming has its roots in the arcades games being easy to pick up to play but hard to master. 5th gen is the begining of the end and the over casualizing of everything. You line up games from every other console that is /vr/ and 5th gen shit will stick out like a sore thumb. I'm not some 18 year old shit who didn't start gaming till 1999.

That's not true for all retro games. Point and clicks, text adventures, RPGs, Star Raiders, flight sims, etc. are you saying those games aren't retro? That's idiotic. You could go on forever arguing what's retro and what's not. Some people would say 4th or 3d gen aren't retro. Well, /vr/'s rules say anything up to 2000 is retro. You want to argue? Email moot. But don't shitpost about it.

You're dense with the "projecting" buzzword.
I'm inclined to believe that you are the one projecting, if anything.

Anyway, it's nice if you don't consider 5th gen "retro". I also kind of think of 5th gen as somewhat modern. But there are rules on /vr/ so tough luck. You're just as annoying as the 6th gen posters.

Also, there is nothing wrong with disliking the N64, or any other console out there. They all have their flaws, and some people have different taste, had different childhoods too. So it's obvious there will always be arguing and especially since this is video games, there will be pointless brand loyalty warfare. But constanstly saying "n64 sucks" every chance you get and always listing the same failed arguments as to why it "sucks" is getting a bit tired. Nobody will tell you to go back to /v/ if you want to discuss the 64 or why do you think it sucks. But your arguments are always the same and have been countered many times. Nobody is going to declare "N64 has the best library of 5th gen" because that'd be a lie, and anyone saying that is a fanboy, or is blinded by nostalgia. However, a lot of people will also tell you that there are a lot of games still worth playing today on the N64. So the N64 doesn't suck, it just isn't the second coming of christ either, but nobody is actually saying that.

I'm the guy you responded to.

You ignored everything important about my post. My post, first and foremost, was in the context of a person shitposting about how they hate Mischief Makers. My post was primarily about how it seems a waste of time to keep telling someone you hate what they like. I just never understand why people do that, but this person keeps doing it.

I further expanded it to the more general topic of n64 vs ps1, since that's where the argument about Mischief Makers even appeared. Someone used MM as an example, the other anon was trying to discredit MM. I then used this as an opportunity to talk about how consolewar shitposting is stupid, for the same reasons that bashing a game is stupid.

I'm saying that a person shouldn't criticize the n64 for things that the ps1 is also guilty of, and then use ps1 as the better alternative. They're both guilty of janky 3d, bad camera, and titles that have had improvements on them since (though there are things about 5th gen that 6th and later gens lost; 6+ gens weren't direct and complete improvements, they lost many things, which is why we have a retro board in the first place. There are still plenty of cool things about <6 gens to talk about.)

And now you're talking about casualization and blah blah blah. Look, 5th gen is the bridge between retro and modern, with 3d and the de-arcadification of many genres. In some ways it's neither retro nor modern. Regardless, I wasn't really trying to say anything about the generation as a whole--just arguments within the generation, and how those argument styles in general suck. Sure I was projecting by calling you a robot or ratman, but if you took that seriously you're a retard.

Here's the thing man, if you don't like the topic of a thread, don't post in the thread. It's that simple. That's all I'm trying to get at. Don't shout at people for liking Mischief Makers, don't shout at people for liking the n64 or the ps1 or whatever. cont...

Not to mention that anyone really interested in collecting old games would probably look that up on their own before asking. I'd hate to drive someone away if it were legit, but I must say I'm surprised this thread is still up, especially since the "high end" collector thread just got deleted.

Harvest moon 64 is not unique. see BTN (arguably better / more depth)

Shiren wanderder definitely not unique and 1upped by lots of roguelikes.

Super robot taisen 64 not unique

>>2338416

most of this list are subpar rehashes or games with improved sequels on the next gen.

not OP but I'm in australia so if I want superior ntsc consoles I have to ship them and its fucking expensive.

But if I did have that SNES I always wanted or that 3do I never even knew existed until I found /vr/, I'd probably just get a flashcart or modchip to play games, it is exactly as it would be on an actual cart and when the price drops I can collect what I really loved to play.

I said I wasn't gonna list "unique" games because that requirement seemed too pretentious to me.

I just listed games that I think are worth playing and aren't 1st party (because I knew you'd call them "rehash" if they were Nintendo-made, event hough games like Wave Race or Blast Corps aren't rehashes, I didn't want to list them because they're still 1st party/Rare).

Have a nice day, troll.
