If you havent played this game yet, you should. Damn good NES gem but hard as all fuck. If you like challenges, well, you have it.
I would also like to read your opinions on this game /vr/os

Absolutely insane. It's surprising how much the game doesn't flicker, but I still sort of wish it was on SMS or 7800 for that reason.

>> No.2526725

I didn't clear stage 2. Everything just happens so fast.

Easily my favorite shmup on the system. It's smooth as fuck but really pushes the hardware, and it's crazy fast-paced.

I'm awful at it though, never gotten farther than the third stage.

It's fucking nuts but it definitely flickers on real hardware. There are equally crazy shooters on MD and PCE with better graphics but for some hypothetical hipster who might be an NES exclusive gamer it would knock his socks off.

Here's another. A GOOD vs fighting game on NES? What?

It's Joy Mech Fight. Sometimes called Mech Fighter by edgelords. Use reverse image search to avoid moonreading.

I know, I should have worded that better. I mean I'm surprised it doesn't flicker even more.

My favorite shooter of all time. SO insanely intense and fast.

>>2526742
That's a great game.

>>2526761
Joy Mech Fight. 36 playable characters on the NES in 1993. Shockingly well done gameplay given that there's only two buttons. Only problem is that you'd have to outright ban one or two characters for it to be even remotely close to a game that you could play competitively.

The flicker isn't THAT bad.

I got this for my 3DS a couple weeks ago. I.... haven't been able to beat the first level.

Don't feel bad. The 3DS's d-pad is nowhere near as good as the Famicom's.

That's the biggest understatement ever posted on /vr/.

>> No.2528349

What is the technical name for this technique anyway? You see it more on 8-bit systems like the Master System and NES, but Treasure used the fuck out of it in Gunstar Heroes and Alien Soldier. It's kinda tacky, but I assume it increases the perceived amount of sprites on screen. Any brogramers on /vr/?

Really?

Been playing this a few years now on the emulator but haven't beaten it yet. Stage 5 - 6 is when it gets difficult.

The circle pad is actually pretty good for a game like summer carnival

>> No.2529776

Recca's great and all, but you know there were other summer carnival games by naxat on the pc engine, right? and they're all pretty great.
Just saying.

There are about 100 other shmups that came out in 92 and are better than that.

Gate of Thunder, Spriggan, Star Parodier, Super Fantasy Zone, Thunderforce 4, Dogyuun, Truxton 2, R-type Leo, Space Megaforce, Naxat soft's own nexzr, Bio Hazard Battle none of them are impressive on their systems except thunderforce 4 but all of them are a lot more exciting.
