The Virtual Boi

>> No.3675649

my opinion:
snes>nes>gameboy>n64

snes had platformers, and RPGS o plenty, which I love. Some of the best vidya music ever created was on the snes as well. Also still arguably the best dpad on any controller ever made.

n64 had a few great games and amazing nostalgia factor if you grew up with it but most game run like crap and can't hold my attention for too long these days.

It really wasn't.

All 20 or so of its games range from decent to pretty good, except for Waterworld, its only actual bad game.

>> No.3675989

Super Nintendo. A lot of NES games may feel samey, but there are lots of great ones. N64 has in the range of literally 30 or so games, SNES has probably a hundred to 150 or so good games and they all usually feel very unique - except musically, the sound chip can't really be excused for how much it sounds like everything is coming from a tin can.

t. literally never played it, or played it without adjusting the focus properly beforehand

Objectively it's a badly designed system released way too early and with bad marketing. But I've owned one with a number of games for about a decade, and everyone I've shown it to over the years left with a positive opinion of it.

It's an amazingly comfy system to play if you can use it properly. Unfortunately some questionable design choices, like the stand that can't be adjusted, made it hard to play. That's why I recommend people stack it on a bunch of books so you can see into it properly.

You have to be just old enough to have an interest in retro gaming but not old enough to have had a shred of objectivity when your patents gave you an n64 to play to have that perspective. Hopefully all those people have at the very least transferred those emotions to the GameCube

There is literally no better measure of having terrible taste in retro gaming than to have this opinion.
