Genuine vidya history question. Is Ninja Gaiden the last major 3rd Party franchise from the NES to not be in Smash? "Major" in the same sense as Castlevania, Megaman & Metal Gear, at least. Iconic NES games that became long-running series. Am I forgetting some others in that ballpark, or after Ryu is it just fossils like Battletoads?What about on Super NES?

>>5332209 >>5332203 I almost forgot, but Contra is at least on par with Ninja Gaiden as far as reputation goes.

I'd love to see some SNK stuff. I feel like Ikari Warriors and Guerrilla War was pretty popular around the NES era.

Contra's a good call tho.

How did the "T-the ps2 was only successful because it was a cheap dvd player!!!" meme start? Was it angry cubies trying to downplay the PS2's success?

did the $40 dvd player also play ps2 games? Is it possible that when choosing between the xbox, ps2, and gamecube, the ability to play DVDs may have swayed customers?

as a european kid, i didn't even know that other consoles EXISTED. playstation was pretty much synonimous with videogames, hell my grandma even called my first smartphone "playstation" when she saw me playing some shitty java games on it i did have a gameboy as well, but i only exclusively played pokemon on it, until a few years later i finally discovered emulation

Alright I see /vr/os making lots of threads whining about how bad emulation for this or that console is, but seems like they usually have no idea what they're talking about. What is considered "bad" here? Is this just turbo autists raging over shitty idiosyncrasies of the limited console hardware carrying over? Or are there serious glitches, missing features, etc.? How well can I emulate games for the following systems on a really good PC?>PS1, 2, 3 >Xbox and 360 >N64 and Gamecube >Dreamcast

>>10261634 pretty sure TI calculators come with a pc emulator. not sure if there is a non-commercial one that you can get without a calc though.

>>10263119 Simple64 is more accurate and will play some games better, but RMG is faster, gives you more plugin options, and there's a few games that don't quite work on simple64 that may work on RMG. However, I find RMG's interface to be kind of slow and bloated, with simple64's being, well, simpler and easier to use, and it loads and feels faster and more responsive.

>you can't play the game like that, it's inauthentic!! Why are so many retro gaming fans like this? Do they actually enjoy the GAMES themselves and want to play them the best way possible, or is it just coomlectors and nostalgic boomers who don't actually care about the games, but instead only want to recreate the exact experience they had playing the game as a kid? Even completely uncontroversial things like removing slowdown, removing sprite flicker, enabling autofire, using a different input device, or even just emulation in general makes people freak out that muh authenticity and how that's not the "real" way to play the game. And God forbid you use save states or anything like that and people will lose their mind.

What the hell was Capcom thinking when they did this? I was very excited for it since I had a Gamecube at the time, but it really was a terrible business decision with how much the the PS2 dominated the 6th gen from the start. They pretty much backed out of right after they announced it.

>>9886095 I liked it enough to play through it twice back when I was 18. It reminded me of old arcade shooters. You used L and R to move left and right instead of pressing left and right but otherwise it's basically a 2D arcade game with 3D graphics and a hot main character shaking her ass the whole time. It's definitely not a game most people would like as much as I did though.

>>10224006 I feel like at least one HAL game that wasn't Kirby showed up on Switch Online, but I'm not totally sure.
>>10222896 Could be. But HAL likes putting shmup elements into Kirby games anyway.
Then again, Dream Land 3 had blatant nods to Hyperzone, so Nova being an Air Fortress reference isn't that unlikely.

>>10205902 i fucking hate the PSII dungeons just because they're top down and MUCH harder to map. i'd like PSII better if they preserved the first person dungeons.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>10205902 to be fair, PSII dungeons can filter anyone. even SNES RPGs rarely require you to map stuff out, unless we talk actual "dungeon crawlers" like SMT. and the walk speed is super slow.
there's a lot of more minor stuff to complain about too. the screen flashes bright red every time you take damage. weapons' atk values make little sense, it literally doesn't matter for guns too. playing it without a guide can get pretty confusing, choosing bad party members can backfire. I don't know if you'd ever find out about visiphone either.
and I don't envy anyone who beat Ikuto (see
>>10193770 ) back in the day.

They were born in an era games are literally designed to be played by following the marked path on the ground until they get to the nearest possible thing they can interact with. The idea of developing a mental model of the area and invoking agency to choose how to best proceed through it is literally an alien concept to them.
