For example. They also apparently released some of the other Power Rangers series as well. I guess Power Rangers, even the original version, was perceived to have enough appeal to the Japanese to warrant the production of official VHS.

Super Castles on the SNES. I perfectly understand why there were so many PC ports on the SNES, given the SNES Mouse. Interplay deciding to bring Castles 2 to the SNES, I can understand. What I can't understand is why release it in Japan and nowhere else? Were the japanese huge fans of Castles and Castles 2 or something? Why the hell didn't they release it in english when the original game was programmed in english? I don't understand one bit.

The Lone Ranger on the NES raises so many questions. Why did Konami make a game for the NES, and then never release it outside of the US? Why did Konami think american kids would be interested in an old black and white TV series most of them had never heard of at the time? Why did they create a unique FPS light-gun gameplay style for the game, and never use it again on another game?

I will never understand the appeal of these fucking Shogi, Mahjong, and Sudoku games. They are literally shovelware, and I can’t imagine they sell well at all. Who buys a game console but then wants to play these snoozefests. A good percentage of the “never released outside Japan” games in any retro console library are just these shitty things. N64, PS1, Saturn, you name it. (Well that and baseball games with animu characters).

The first few series (basically until Lost Galaxy) actually aired on TV in Japan, in the timeslot immediately after Sentai. That lasted until Kamen Rider got brought back in 2000, at which point it just took its place, though it does still get a home video release. It basically allows Toei to resell the same toys that they had sold two years prior, with very minimal actual effort put into it on their part. The actors/actresses who voiced the original versions of the characters often come back to voice the ranger versions of their character, too.

Yeah, shit confuses me still. Actually watched PR for the first time since I was a wee tyke the other day, and I can't believe how shamelessly they use the stock footage, they basically hand-waved the fact that the characters were suddenly warped from a random field to a Japanese city so they could reuse action sequences. Doesn't really make sense, not as if sentai never has action sequences that happen in the middle of nowhere.

Incidentally, there's an episode of Akibaranger that focuses a small amount on Power Rangers.

I am the market for this, those three genres are my three favorites for spin-offs, beyond racing games.

That stuff is more involving, though. They did some other stuff like personal assistants that I can sort of get the appeal of, but the vast majority of people owned dictionaries and calculators in some shape or form back then. Who wants to pay 35$ for a Gameboy cart that does that?

nah, they're just fine. SMK in particular is great.

Aren't FF games known for being buggy? That's the main thing I know about FF1 for example.

>>4715890
I just think it's pretty silly how they executed it that way, like they figured it out and did it, but man, did not make for a great justification.

It's not hard to understand, anon.

pinball has themes to, what's your fucking point retard? what's the point of any themed game? why would a MK clone with gene simmons doing fatalities with his tongue up your arse have any more "point" than any other style of game? Stop parroting the shite you watch on youtube you cunt.

wisdom tree sold nes and snes games so a portable bible on a system you can carry around would make sense. as for why the king james version, two reasons:
>kjv is public domain. a lot of the other biblical translations were only made after the discovery of the the dead sea scrolls around 1947 thus they would have fallen under some sort of copyright
>it appeals to the type of fundie that thinks any translation that's not the kjv is the work of the devil

I actually like the games. I don't think it is unexpected since Pinball tables had a lot of licenses represented.

>>4714302
Okay, I admit it was okay, but pretty amusing when I first got it. It doesn't take much for me to like a game maybe. When it is all I have because I can't get the good expensive stuff, I learned to like the stuff from the bargain bin.

>>4716423
Ever consider the possibility I've had these games from long ago. I don't have much of the expensive stuff, and Japanese games were really cheap. Fortunately for the Toshinden games in that pic, the signature on 2 is dated, but the character designer on 3 didn't do so. My only recent purchases were a NES that I finally saved up for, Bomberman64, a few parts for my planned J-Win98SE build, and the Super NT which wiped away my tax return. I am considering taking a picture of Bomberman64 for the recent purchases thread.

I could absolutely see a use for these if you were a businessman in a pre-cell phone era. Bringing a Gameboy along on a plane or train ride with a few cartridges and some batteries would be a lot more convenient than a calculator, a dictionary, and a travel guide - and you could play Super Mario Land when you were done.

>Does anyone actually like Zeo Rangers
They have some of my favorite mecha and monster designs. I really like the Machine Empire too, but I'm also an /m/fag so of course I do. Series itself is aight; Ohranger is a bit better, but that's a given.

I was surprised but pleasantly happy that Evangelion was combined with strip mahjong games. Got them direct from Gainax.

I did say I recently got Bomberman64. However, a large portion of the games I own was from a time when they were all being clearanced out. I just happen to keep the games, as I felt I can get more fun from them than the money I'd get trading them in even if I can trade them in. One of the reasons I post on /vr/ is as if I can talk about my old games as they were new, because that's what I got since I could never afford the new games.
