I just started playing Mega Man, so I didn't really bother with the specific perception of the games, but I thought Mega Man 2 was seriously lackluster. I mean, I really like the music and the boss fights, but the stages weren't that enjoyable. Woodman was down right boring, while Quickman and Heatman were just a chore. I think the ones I enjoy the most were Air Man and Bubble Man.

You're not the only one who dislikes Nintendo that much.
I've been always an idort, ESPECIALLY the Sega-Nintendo days, so I always saw Nintendo and Sega as equals, I culdn't pick a side because it would be very silly of me, being a fan of Sega games, to be missing games like F-Zero back in 1991 (a game that years later would see a collaboration between Sega and Nintendo with GX).

I think it's all fanatism, but yeah, you're not the only one. In fact the internet is filled with those. Although you don't see Nintendo fanboys going "God I HATE Sega!", they'll usually spout things like "Sega? they're dead, and the Genesis had shitty graphics and sound".
It's as silly as saying "nintendo games are all for kids".

Anyway, want an unpopular opinion from me? um.. I like the Saturn better than the N64, and the N64 better than the PS1. For most people it'd be inverted.

Sonic's current design is way better than his classic design. His classic design worked well in old games but the new design works best overall. He's had his modern design for longer than he had his classic yet fans are still whining

Chrono Trigger and Earthbound are meh-tier, at best. Not bad. Just meh.

N64 is fucking awful less maybe ten games it had that were worth a damn.

Castlevania 2, Zelda 1 and Eggerland: Revival of the Labyrinth are not at all cryptic (I beat Eggerland and I can't even read Japanese to get all the hints, so fuck no: it's not cryptic).

Zelda 1 is better thought out and has more replay value than all the other Zelda games combined.

The Makaimura/Ghosts'n... series are too difficult to be enjoyable. I try. I've been playing those games since I was a kiddie and the only one I've ever managed to beat was one of the arcade ones and that's because my parents owned the machine and I just had it set to free play and therefore had infinite continues.

Ristar needs a sequel (not an unpopular opinion, really, just one I've never heard anyone ever bring up, ever).

Pokemon sucks. All of them. And all its knock-offs, too.

7th Saga isn't all that difficult.

Castlevania III > Rondo.

No game will ever be as fun as Bomberman 94 or the original Smash Bros multiplayer.

Working Designs isn't so bad.

FFVII and FFVIII kinda bore me (I don't like every character being able to do everything at the same time as every other character).

Pocky and Rocky 2 is the most perfect game ever made.
That or Soldier Blade.
Or Guardian Legend.
Or Zelda 1.
Or Gunstar Heroes.
Or each of those is the most perfect game on its respective console. Except I can't decide between Z1 or GL for the NES. Decisions, decisions.
Strike that, Soldier Blade or Somer Assault.

The only series where each game released is better than the last is Quintet's Creation Trilogy.

I don't like a single Mega Man game. Something about the setting just never appealed to me. I did enjoy Gargoyle's Quest, however, which I think is loosely based on Mega Man's mechanics.

Ted Woolsey is a hack, and and the only reason anyone worships him is because he's a "good ol' boy" who's associated with their favorite overrated games.

Final Fantasy VI was my least favorite game in the series, and I'll never understand the appeal of Chrono Trigger. To be perfectly fair, I did play all the way through both games before putting them down and never touching them again. Even though I didn't like CT, I nonetheless thought Chrono Cross was an awesome game.

I thought Final Fantasy II was the best game in the series. It probably sounds like I'm trying to be a contrarian at this point, but I'm really not.

I've never actually polled anyone else on the matter and really have no idea what the popular consensus is, but as far as retro censorship goes, the thing that bothered me most was the removal or re-gendering of LGBT characters. For instance, Poison being swapped out with a male sprite, Ash being cut from Streets of Rage, or a lack of same-sex relationships in retro games that had romance systems. (Harvest Moon?) I'm sure some of it was just a calculated move to avoid backlash from the conservative media, but it was really unfair to throw LGBT gamers under the bus because a vocal minority didn't want to see them in any form of media.

Super Mario Bros. 3 > Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island is the best game in the entire series. (Unless you want to count it as a spin-off, but I'd rather not get into that debate)

Zelda II is the best game in the series. I've played and completed all the retro titles, including the BS-X translations. I agree that Zelda is supposed to be more oriented toward puzzle-solving than action, but since I play a lot of action platformers, Zelda II was more up my alley than the rest of the series. The RPG mechanics were also cool.

The original BS Zelda is just a watered-down remake of Zelda 1. There's a third quest and fourth quest variation with some original arranged maps. All in all, it's much shorter than the original game, and there are more powerful weapon and equipment upgrades that weren't in the original game. At one point, you get infinite bombs and arrows, and a boomerang that can kill darknuts. It guess it was fun for the novelty of it, and the graphics are really nice.

The Ancient Stone Tablets is just an episodic side game that recycles all the assets from Link to the Past. If you really enjoyed LttP and want another fix, then it may be up your alley.

>Pokemon sucks. All of them. And all its knock-offs, too.

This might be a major cop out... but you really had to play the Pokemon games when you were a young kid to get the true experience.

The structure of Pokemon games is actually very compelling. You start out with essentially nothing as you begin a journey from home without any grand goals in sight. You are allowed to choose one of three starting pokemon and then you simply begin your journey with minimal direction. Along the way you capture more pokemon, fight trainers and gym leaders, encounter obstacles, gain levels and abilities. The backtracking is done almost perfectly as it really shows you how far you have come in the game and is never used to pad time. I think most importantly the game never takes you very far away from its core gameplay.

The major problem with Pokemon is that the combat is way to simple and for anyone who isn't a child the game is simply way too easy. Of course this doesn't really matter for the target audience, which IS children. I used to rail on Pokemon for not evolving but the fact is that it doesn't need to. The game is pretty much perfect for its audience.

I will occasionally play gen 1/2 out of pure nostalgia, I can't say from an adult perspective they are good games at all.

"retro" is not a date. its a style and business model of gaming that died with the PS2 and Xbox. The Dreamcast had no annually released, multi-million dollar budgeted blockbuster games. it had no grimdark third-person action games or sci-fi FPSs. the Dreamcast was the last system that was gimmick based games (Jet Set Radio, Virtual On), arcade games, shmups, and platformers. the stuff that filled game libraries for decades, and are now largely gone. those games were quirky and weird and required skills.

The controls feel too loose and the level design feels too inconsistent. I could have a lot of trouble on a level and just breeze through the next one. Whenever I play it, I get bored quickly as opposed to 3, 1, or even 2. Hell, I'd rather play Yoshi's Island.

[Anonymous No.2567742]

Yoshi's Island is awful. The music isn't horrible, but it isn't a good game at all. I remember when the game was released, but I never knew ANYONE considered it a good game until like 10 years ago. It really surprised me.

The only positive thing I can think about it is that it allowed Panel De Pon to get localized as Tetris Attack.

The Genesis/SNES generation was one of the fucking best for gaming all around, great games on two great systems. I don't see how we're still arguing about which one was better, when it was just about the ONLY fucking generation with two leading consoles with different, but great games.

Dragon Warrior 4 and 7 are my favorite JRPGs of all time. Really don't care for what came after, but not retro.

I think Super Mario World is the best Mario game, with Sonic 2 being the best Sonic game.

A lot of old western-developed arcade/action games of the 80s' & 90's are mediocre at best, godawful at worst. Those bland-looking platformers with boring level design, slippery controls, and shitty boss fights, if any at all. They often spend more time on the overly-detailed graphics and music than polishing up the gameplay and design. There are a few good ones like the DKC games & Soccer Kid but the bad far outweighs the good imo.

And while we're at it, outside of Hydroah, westerners can't make Shmups to save their lives. Euroshmups just fucking suck.

Amiga & C64 games on average are shit and inferior to their Japanese contemporaries on platforms like the MSX & Sharp X68000 machines. The latter two system's library put the top-rated Amiga & C64 games to shame. I never found SID all that great outside of demoscene stuff. AY-3-8910 alone sounds better.

I fucking hate Working Designs' localizations and any others who attempt to ape that style. I personally wish the games in their catalog were retranslated from the ground up and given new localizations. I'm by no means saying they should be given TV-Nihon-tier translations though, where every other word is intentionally left untranslated accompanied by pointless TL notes & shit.

Super Turrican 1 & Mega Turrican are the only good games in the entire series. The first two have aged like milk.

Virgin's Aladdin is a highly overrated and mediocre platformer. The only thing it has going for it are the graphics and presentation. Snes version plays better despite being one of Capcom's weaker Disney efforts.

Even with it's flaws, RetroArch/Libretro is the best thing to happen to emulation and it mops the floor with the original standalones, even if it can be a royal pain to use sometimes.

Megaman Legends 2 is the best game in the whole franchise, the gameplay is great the levels and bosses are ver imaginative and it has so much replay value, on the plus side the story is great too,back in the day many of my friends had the opinion that it was a cheap zelda clone with robots, i consider it to be superior than the N64 Zelda games.

Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Superheroes is the best fighting game ever made, and by this i mean is the overall best, as it appeals so well to both to hardcore fight gamers, and casual gamers without dumbing it down too much (like MvC3).

Ghost n Goblins is hard because the controlls suck.

Come at me fag.

Tell me one redeeming feature of those colossal mountains of bad hollywood rip offs, the writing is beyond terrible, the plots are predictable, boring, cliched shit, the music is barely noticeable, the shooting segments are a complete joke, the point and click elements don't even let you explore or give you different paths to proceed to the game, you just have to click on everything on the screen and read all that outrageously bad writing and there's not even a single original or well done idea in any of the two, especially Policenauts which gives all those nice insights about how actually unfeasible it would be life on a space colony but NEVER FUCKING ELABORATES ON THAT IDEA BECAUSE JONATHAN IS TOO BUSY LOOKING AT TITS AND ASSES.


Literally the only reason to care about those is that the voice acting in Policenauts is admittedly superb and if you like Kojima it's fun to see all the stuff he recycled from those games and put into Metal Gear.

He later replicated that same behavior when his parents bought him a $45,000 dollar car when he turned 16. It's not so much jealousy these days (it was a bit at the time.) I genuinely pity him. I see him on fb these days trying to find petty ways to prove he is better than others.

Of course it's arbitrary. Any division between "retro" and "non-retro" is going to be arbitrary. Some people think sixth gen should be allowed on /vr/ now that they are two cycles old. Others think that fifth generation shouldn't be allowed here because that's when 3D consoles were released. The point is, you have to set a cutoff somewhere or this board will become /v/2.0.

Dreamcast should be allowed on this board because:
1. It was released before 2000. Easier to follow only one arbitrary cutoff instead of two.
2. It was discontinued in 2001, before the N64 and the PS.
3. It is much harder to discuss the Dreamcast on /v/ than the rest of sixth gen. The Dreamcast was a console without a board to call home before /vr/ allowed it.

I played Crash 2 a lot back in the day, I found it dull. Although okay, maybe it's not shit, but it's mediocre.

I also never liked Banjo-Kazooie really. I had it as a kid and traded it in for Star Wars Racer and it was one of the best decisions I made back in the day.

No, not really. There have been Dreamcast threads since the dawn of /v/, full of people patting themselves on the back for being special snowflakes who appreciate an "obscure" system. Expressing a love for Dreamcast was the precursor to wearing t-shirts with NES controllers on them. These snowflakes eventually went on to form /vr/, where the Dreamcast was initially disallowed despite being released before 2000 and discontinued in 2001.

The problem is that, while PS1 launched in 1994 in Japan, it didn't started getting a good catalogue until '97 or so. In 1995, if you had a PS1 you were stuck with shit like some soccer games, ports of boring strategy games from PC that are just awful to play with a PS controller (and remember, no dualshock controllers until 1998, 97 in Japan) and fuck else. Oh Battle Arena Toshinden, great... not.

In 1995, if you weren't burning your Genesis and SNES with the loads of great games that were being released, you were a retard.

What does all this means? That if we set the rules to 1995 to be the cut, it will generate endless shitposts about people discussing the same generation (5th), but the N64 will be taken out because 1996. You can't expect people to discuss the whole 5th generation without console war shitposting, so it's pointless, N64 would be discussed all the same, and the shitposting will be even worse than it is now.

1999 is fine.

-I think all RPGS should have a limited ammount of experience, like strategy rpgs.
Grinding experience shouldnt be possible.
Inventing the Strategy RPG genre with Fire Emblem is the most ignored achievement of Nintendo.

-I get a bit angry when young people who begun playing fighting games around 2009 with Street Fighter IV say SFII characters like Blanka are lame.

-I think Metroid and Zelda games from the SNES on are wonderful experiences the first playthrough, but have little replayability because the combat is very easy and simple, and the challenge is in the puzzles and figuring out where to go next. A challenge that disappears after beating the game for the first time.
You should play those games every 5-10 years when you no longer remember the puzzles and the locations of everything, in order to experience it again as a first playthrough.

I dont like Yoshi's Island

Nintendo's first party became better from the N64 on because losing the third party support forced them to improve their first party.

Not true. The main story is easy, sure, but that goes for all modern RPGs. The postgame shit is pretty fucking brutal and absolutely requires an indepth understanding of the mechanics, heavy use of strategy in both teambuilding and battling, as well as careful preparation of stats and movesets in advance.

The entire RPG genre (with one or two exceptions) is for faggots that suck at both irl and video games. It's pretty much there for retards to 'roleplay' and use games as a form of escapism to escape their shitty tragic existences. It's like a fucking prerequisite for RPGs to come with shitty and boring gameplay mechanics so the shitter behind the screen can 'play' the damn thing. Jesus christ what the fuck is fun about turn based RPG? What is fun about grinding mechanics so you can level up and finally shove some potion up your ass so you can beat a boss by pressing a button? Do you need a brain hemorrhage to enjoy this shit?

People that play video games for story should be lined up and shot. I'm not against story in vidya but when that story detracts from actual gameplay in the form of drawn out exposition and unskippable cutscenes then you have a fucking problem; especially considering that most video game stories are poorly written and have shitty as fuck scripts and worse voice acting on top of it. I can't relate to a goddamn pixelated character and if this shit gives you 'feels' you seriously need to grow the fuck up and maybe check yourself into an autism clinic.

The Colecovision was the "arcade-accurate" luxury console of its time. It had graphics relatively comparable to arcade games at the time of its release and was powerful enough to deliver gameplay relatively accurate to the original games. Its only real downside was a slightly shitty controller and the fact that Atari had exclusivity deals on a good couple arcade hits that they didn't want to share. Back in its time, it was basically perfection and the only ones that "disliked it" were kids whose parents didn't allow them to get one, so they "hated" it out of jealousy.

They were going for "lots of buttons", which was common enough at the time. The Colecovision controller had 14 buttons compared to the 2600 controller's 1. If you've played those involving 2600 games where you need to push buttons on the fucking console itself to perform basic gameplay opeations, I assume you can see the advantage in that.

Most notable CV games were relatively simple arcade games that just used the numpad for difficulty selection though.

Donkey Kong was the CV's initial pack-in game and Coleco themselves intentionally made shitty port of the game for the 2600 and Intellivision so they could compare them in ads and make their own system look better.

Amusingly enough,Donkey Kong is actually one of the less arcade-accurate ports on the entire system and was rushed pretty hard.

Also, Atari ported some of their own games to the CV as well, and these were generally superior to their 2600 counterparts. Defender in particular is complete fucking garbage on the 2600, while the CV port is very impressive. The difficulty level was sharply reduced though

I agree to a certain extent. There's a stark difference between the 4th and 5th generation of video game consoles. If it weren't for PC gaming, it would make more sense to me to break up the boards into a generation 1-4 board and a generation 5-8 board (or perhaps a 5-7 and a current generation board). Perhaps that would fragment discussions too much.

Am I missing something? Nowhere in that post did it say, "Every game should have gay people in it."

>the thing that bothered me most was the removal or re-gendering of LGBT characters
Meaning characters who were originally LGBT to begin with, but got censored in English versions. Ash is one example, per your post.

>or a lack of same-sex relationships in retro games that had romance systems
As in games that were intended from the get-go to have a character romance system. Why limit that system to opposite-sex characters only? From a coding standpoint, you'd have to go out of your way to create a character gender flag for the sole purpose of preventing characters of the same sex from having romantic interaction choices. It's an intentional design choice to make the game exclusionary because they developers probably want to avoid controversy, or having the ESRB slap them with a T rating.

Not like it matters now though. The media is nothing like it was in the '80s and '90s when conservative pundits went into a flying rage over the least mention of gay people or atheism or whatever. I'm pretty sure even Nintendo mentioned something about allowing same-sex romances in their upcoming Fire Emblem game, because fans kept complaining about the relationship system being too restrictive.

I dunno that place doesn't seem much different to other communities. In any case, the game isn't very interesting to me anymore, because the community is very different from the old days of 1994-96. Back then there wasn't much critique and so people freely did their own things, in their very own personal way, and without being constrained or influenced by "best practices".

Anyway whatever, I've moved on too, back to playing and making games for old 80's computers. Even better, there's no arbitrary engine restrictions, just hardware restrictions. So nobody will ever make an equivalent like ZDoom that gets adopted by most of the community and leaves the original in the dust, largely forgotten and despised.

Turned 18, June and I've being buying my own consoles since I turned 16, I've never emulated, and never considered a game aritificially difficult because that phrase is stupid. Also, no I'm not a N64/PS1 Babby, I bought most of the consoles from 2600 through Saturn, and stopped. I also have no opinion on the console wars since they are fucking stupid. I want to talk about old games and have fun playing them, since that's what I like. Seriously, all you fucking sperglords need to stop, I just want to talk to /vr/ about hidden gems and not whether or not certain consoles are better, and whether or not emulation is wrong or right.

I don't think that was necessarily always a case of "FUCK THE FAGS" or "We'd rather be on the safe side."
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of devs simply never thought about LGBT gamers at all, that it never occurred to them.

I mean, there were censorship (mainly in Japanese ports), but say for example Harvest Moon, it's not like they had a gay option planned and then canned it because of pressure, the thought probably just didn't cross their mind to even have it as an option.

It was a different landscape back then, gays weren't quite as visible as now.

I actually don't play my old consoles really, it's frequently too much of a hassle. I mostly emulate on a PC with a gamepad or I'll play a rerelease on a modern system.

If I want to play an NES game I'll emulate it (save for Duck Hunt, which I don't know if there's any way to play on your PC), same for GB. I never had a SNES or GBC as a kid, but I emulate those anyway.

I might have broken out my DS to play some GBA games on occasion (though the damn thing broke it's hinges a while back, so no more of that, I still have an SP lying around though).

I don't have a huge desire to play on my N64, because I honestly hate the controller, and my library is limited. There's Super Mario 64 (which I have on my DS now), there's Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party 2 (which I have nobody to play with), and there's Goldeneye, a game which I've run through wholly and completely, and frankly, it's not that fantastic of a shooter today, it's not a game that has aged well at all, compared to say, Doom, which has a much simpler style of gameplay, but that's also it's forte, it's a basic formula that works really well.
If I want to play a shooter with realistic weapons, I have that in so many other games, typically much better, and Goldeneye simply doesn't have that much of an amazing gameplay compared to so many other games. I also never had a memory expansion unit so slowdown frequently gets noticeable.

I don't play my PSX because the one game I had for it which I cared about, Symphony Of The Night, I have on the PS3, also, it's a hunk of shit and you have to lean the console up on it's side against something for the bloody thing to read discs at all anymore.
The PS2, is similar (I mean, except that the thing works), any of the games I held dear I have on my PS3.

I like a lot of old games, but I'm seriously not that committed to the consoles themselves most of the time.
(I've been emulating a lot of old this summer though, particularly Earthbound, in memory of Mr. Iwata)

There hasn't really been an interesting game in the Zelda series since Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and I feel that Nintendo took the franchise into the wrong direction. They should have kept it more hardcore, like Ys has been for the most part.

Super Mario World is a step down from the Nes Marios in every way, so was Yoshi's Island. One of the reasons why I didn't really want a SNES when I was a kid, well that and the snubbing of Europe Nintendo continues to be known for.

I've tried and failed to get into Earthbound. Everything about it seems like it should be up my alley but everything cool about it the fans report just gets muddled by how dull looking, handling and even sounding it is.

Picking out a favorite system today or a side in a forgotten console war is like picking a favorite color: Dumb.

Things did actually used to be better then they are now gaming wise, but we only have to look 7-10 years back. Modern times are a dry spell of the dying and fading Japanese scene, bloated AA+ titles that are cut up into patches, dlc and season passes with obtuse DRMs that punish the buyer and an "indie" scene that overcrowds the market with more bad than good and has robbed us of the more focused and fertile risk/reward based publisher funded scene that ensured at least some semblance of production value and quality.

No arguments here, but good luck with people who think "retro" is not a sliding scale and that the PS2 can NEVER be retro.

On top of the tourette's and autism they have now? Damn, life dealt them a harsh hand.

Brutal Doom is a fun mod. I actually grew up on Doom (unlike you and the rest of the Doom babies), played Doom at release in '93, and I can appreciate that BD is fun in its own right. The fact that Doom kiddies pretend to hate on it is just another example of how shitty and tryhard /vr/oom is. Also yeah, you fags are jealous because your mods are complete shit in comparison.

Benimaru Itoh sucked at drawing Metroid.

I disagree. He was Nintendo's only good hired artists next to Yoichi Kotabe, Katsuya Terada, and Ishinomori.

Okay I might have a doozy for you guys that no one has mentioned. I was a huge into the NES in it's day and my favorite games on the system were the Castlevanias.

My favorite by far of those was always Simon's Quest. Nothing else really feels like that game, it's such an adventure. For years I had no idea it was largely despised and thought just assumed it was as well liked as I thought.

So, why can't we include the gameboy advance then? The GBA has plenty of those types of games.

You are a complete idiot. There are still games like that being made, but they're still not retro. Even the most classic rocky sounding classic rock that gets released today isn't "classic rock"

[Anonymous No.2571621]

>>2567765
Absolutely no. "Retro" is not just a set of types of games, it's games from a specific era. It also has nothing at all to do with quality.

The GBA had a lot of 2D games because of it's hardware, but they weren't retro games. They were modern 2D games. The same kinds of games that today would get put on XBLA or Steam and that you people will shit all over.

The only thing "retro" about the GBA were it's graphics capabilities. And we all know how stupid people who just reduce games down to their graphics are.

I think it has a very certain appeal to it that other games simply don't have (with the exception for OoE), with how you move from town to town and from forests and graveyards to mansions and shit, I really like that idea, it reminds me a bit of Zelda II that way.

There's definitively problems of execution, and I don't like that you can literally walk past the bosses, the game was also not properly translated for the west and has a lot of cryptic shit in it that don't actually mean anything.

[Anonymous No.2571624]

>>2571621
I think he's half right.

What I really think is that the GBA should eventually be let onto /vr/, as it's actually pretty old system by now. It's like what, 15 years old now? I think it's old enough to be considered.

And it's really impossible to talk about it on places like /v/, they don't give a shit about it.

[Anonymous No.2571650]

>>2571624
It will eventually be allowed here, I'm sure. But in the meantime we have pretty successful GBA generals on /vg/ from time to time.

The thing with GBA is that even though it looks old, the design of many of the games are very indicative of mid 00's ones. Look for example at the SNES Super Star Wars series of games and then the Jedi Power Battles ones on GBA. They look a little similar, both being side scrolling Star Wars games but design wise are very different.

Which isn't to say it's bad at all, I love the GBA but the games do have a distinctly modern feel to them despite the limited graphics.

[Anonymous No.2571663]

I think I got lucky playing it as a kid because I grew to love the game without noticing the flaws too much. I never thought to walk past the bosses for example and kneeling with the crystal was the only part I got stuck on.

So are you saying that ganes from 1998 are the same era as games from 1985? Because if so then I disagree.

This is where retro runs into trouble. If it's a style then the cutoff is somewhere around either the 16 bit gen or 3d gen. The PS/N64/Saturn gen now becomes 'sonething else' along with the PS2/Xbox/GCN gen as time passes.

If it's a time period 15 yrs ago or whatever, then you start to lump so much together that using time is no longer a useful distinguishing charcteristic between older systems.

Now look at Metal Gear Solid compared to all previous Metal Gear games, and tell me with a straight face that it's the same style. Tell me it's "distinctly retro/not modern."

>So are you saying that ganes from 1998 are the same era as games from 1985? Because if so then I disagree.

Definitely not. Games are always changing, that's kind of my point. Game design is always changing and each generation is different from the last. Graphically is usually the most obvious change, but game design is equally important. GBA often looks similar to 16 bit era games, but are clearly of a different era when you play them.

But of course we're not going to set up a separate board for every generation. So at this point 1999 seems like a good cutoff date. Dreamcast being retro might be a bit of a stretch for some, but this is probably the best board for it. It's not popular enough to make general threads on /vg/ last like the GBA or PS2 ones do and would get buried on /v/. Maybe in 2020 they'll update the board and let the next generation of retro in, but maybe not. Either way is cool in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.2571860]

>>2571806
That's a great example, of what I'm talking about actually. Look at Metal Gear Ghost Babel. It looks like the NES era Metal Gears but takes many gameplay cues from Solid. Old looking game with new style design.

[Anonymous No.2571880]

I never really liked Mario games. There I said it. They're not bad, but not worth the crazy hype they've always had.

[Anonymous No.2572164]

>>2571853
That's the point - by both standards, including the first 3D consoles don't fit. They don't have the same style as their predecessors, nor are they from the same time period.

But hey, I'm also someone who thinks that the 16-bit era isn't retro.

[Anonymous No.2572178]

>>2571860
You're sidestepping my point--if GBA should be dismissed solely because its games have "new style design," you'd have to dismiss a lot of 32-bit era games, not to mention Dreamcast, on the same grounds.

>But hey, I'm also someone who thinks that the 16-bit era isn't retro.

Well there's your problem. The thing is that "retro" isn't a very specific term and we could have debates all day long about who's definition of what's retro is best or most correct and never come to a real consensus.

So for here, we have to think about what works for this board. Obviously they're not going to break it down into a separate forum for each generation. But they did want to give a place where threads about older games wouldn't get instantly buried.

So they arbitrarily picked systems from 1999 as the cut off date and called the board 'retro'. Whether these systems fit your personal definition of what's retro is really beside the point. It was really just done as a way of organizing the board and what they chose makes as much sense as anything to me. Dreamcast threads wouldn't really have another good place to go, but GBA is still popular enough that it does.

Personally I think most GBA games feel a lot more modern than Dreamcast ones.

Also, 3D in a game really isn't a signifier of whether it's retro or not. One of the first games I ever played was in basic 3D and it predated the NES.

[Anonymous No.2572204]

>>2572178
If that was my point, then yes. But it's not. My point is that the organization of the board is largely arbitrary but works well. GBA shouldn't be dismissed because it has newer design choices, it should be dismissed simply because of it's release date.

My point about game design evolving is that it's constantly evolving and changing. There's no hard line between modern and old game design, it's all a big blur.

So you think /vr/ should be limited to just 8 bit and earlier?

Right, and this works for now until the pool of "old" video game systems starts to get too large.

Vidya is relatively young and didn't really explode in popularity until the mid 80s. So you realistically have 3 generations of systems under discussion here, with a sprinking of threads discussing Atari and earlier days.

So if you want to say that "15 years" is the cutoff you start adding more systems to the mix, to the point that you will run into the same problem that you were trying to fix by separating retro games out in the first place.

>>2572227
if vr is intended to be a board about legitimately retro games, yes, it should be capped at the 8-bit era or pre 1990 (which then makes the Sega Genesis timeline awkward, so for simplicity 8-bit). If vr is just a tag for 'old shit people don't really play anymore' then no.
