I've recently gotten into playing games from my childhood. I have a pile of NES, SNES, and PS1 games I've been farting around with, but I'm ignorant to gems from other systems. Can I solicite anyone for recommendations? I'm very curious about Sega and N64. I have Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 in mind, but beyond that I'm not sure what to check out.

The vehicles would still have to control like poo poo because that's pretty much the entire gameplay.

I mean if you want Genesis games to play Sega has been pretty good about throwing the usual suspects in all their collections. Not that you can't just emulate them but there's been like insanely cheap bundles for all the Genesis games they've put on Steam. Also the M2 3D versions of Genesis games on the 3DS.

Played PE2 a couple years ago- sorta clunky in this day and age but playing as some kinda bio-gun-mage was pretty awesome and the further into the game you get the more ridiculous the possible setups get. No mercy for weird PS1-rendered monstrosities

That's a bummer, that was such a cool system, especially because it was stupidly easy to realize how busted it was and how to make OP ARs, sniper rifles and what not.

On that note if you play one Rare platformer collectathon on that system, make it Banjo-Kazooie. Don't bother with Donkey Kong 64. I would not play GoldenEye in 2017, but Perfect Dark has probably aged moderately better. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask if for some reason you don't have a 3DS. Mischief Makers for some good Treasure action, though good luck finding a cartridge. Same story for Sin & Punishment. Paper Mario is not as good as Thousand Year Door but it's still pretty great and a lot better than any other non-TTYD Paper Mario. Star Fox 64 was the last good SF game. Pokemon Snap is surprisingly a lot of fun and addicting. WAVE RACE! (pretend I said this in the announcer's voice) Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is probably going to be very frustrating to play in 2017 but I would be remiss to not mention it. Turok 2 if you don't want to bother with the recent Steam release which is probably a lot better. Pilot Wings 64. Blast Corps.

Nate RFB posted:I've never understood how difficult it was to understand/get across the idea that if you have a good library you'll do probably do well. tbh WiiU also tried this for a bit when MK8, Smash Bros, and Bayonetta 2 came out in 2014, the year after 3D World and Tropical Freeze, but they ran out of steam after that. It was a slow death besides Splatoon. Help Im Alive posted:Their last E3 conference was all about how all Xbox One exclusives would also be on PC so idk what they're even doing anymore If the Xbox guys haven't poo poo themselves yet anticipating even this year, it would impress me. After the last two A++ shows idk what they would have to do to overtake what Sony shows off.

raditts posted:The "family friendly" Nintendo image only ever applied to Nintendo of America anyway, didn't it? Back in the NES / SNES days they were infamous for bowdlerizing games for US release, removing blood and naughty language and all that, and even up to today when weeaboos rage about how characters are changed to dress more modestly or can't date their siblings or whatever. I think it was more NoA at first, but like others pointed out, the Wii era definitely went for family friendliness in all regions. Nintendo basically leaned into it. Their western pre-release marketing for the Wii U seemed to insist that it would be a system for "core gamers" as well as families, which would explain the smattering of third party titles not aimed at kids/families like Bayonetta 2 or Xenoblade X. Their first party titles are always family-friendly though. I think they probably have a better shot with the Switch if they can draw in more third parties. Its gimmick is a little easier to make a game around than the Wii's insistence on motion control or the Wii U's dual screens.

Megadrive/Genesis games worth playing off the top of my head Sonic 2/3&Knuckles, Streets of Rage 2, Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi 3, Castlevania Bloodlines, Contra Hard CORPS, Decap Attack, anything made by Treasure, Wonderboy in Monsterland. There's a ton more but that's plenty already.

If you like JRPGs, Phantasy Star 4 on Genesis is pretty rad. Also the Shining Force games.

The general gameplay in Third Birthday is more successful at what it's trying to do than Other M but everything else is probably worse.

But if you're looking for N64 stuff to play, I'd say give Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie a shot. They're classic 3D platformers and I always liked the humor in them. Maybe Jet Force Gemini, though that hasn't aged well. For multiplayer games I heartily recommend the first Snowboard Kids, I played the poo poo out of that with my friends, though it was also fun alone(the AI rubberbands like a motherfucker though). Seconding recommendations by NateRFB for Mischief Makers, Pokemon Snap, Star Fox 64 and Pilotwings 64. Dunno why there's apparently a lot of hate for PW64, I had a lot of fun in the various modes and the music was pretty great, especially the chill ones.

Golgo-13 and its sequel, games where you're a sniper who assassinates high profile targets and bangs ladies in every city you travel to: fun for the whole family on the Family Computer Oddly, also managed to make it to the US with seemingly none of that censored, although I've never seen the Japanese versions for comparison. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Apr 13, 2017 |

Sakurazuka posted:I remember Toy Commander but I never played it It's really good! I've always said it is like a dreamcast version of blast corps, but idk how apt of a comparison that is. Basically, in Toy Commander, a bunch of old toys are mad that you don't play with them anymore so they organized a rebellion and each of the toys took over a room of the house. You go from room to room doing missions like races, traversing mazes, putting out fires, cooking an egg, killing a giant lizard stomping through a toy city, bombing ships, escorting toy soldiers, all these various different things in order to try to take the rooms back. Each mission has a time trial element to it where if you complete enough missions under the record time then you unlock the ability to fight the boss of that room. Defeat the boss and you'll be able to play as them in the final room when you go to fight the final boss. The game's ending is weird though. It ends with you beating the final boss and him talking about how he's sorry and that it's just that he was jealous that you don't play with him or the other old toys anymore and that he just wants you to remember your old toys, to never forget them when you get older. Then you play a final mission where you're flying a toy commercial airliner around the room you were fighting the final boss in. You land the plane to pick up some passengers, then when you take off the game cuts to a scene of the plane flying off towards some models of mountains and then it reveals the whole game has actually been the dream of a plane pilot who fell asleep at the cockpit and is about to crash the plane into some mountains, except he gets woken up just in time by a flight attendant and he manages to avoid crashing the plane.

raditts posted:Fair enough, admittedly I can't really think of any games on the Wii that are not kid-friendly. Looking at it again, I think it's sort of like: Nintendo's first-party titles are almost always family-friendly, and NoA's stance on third-party titles has changed over time in regards to what content gets changed in localization to make it more family-friendly. The reason the Wii has almost exclusively kid/family games is because it has few non-shovelware third-party games, and almost all of the lovely shovelware games on the Wii are only on the Wii because it had a huge install base and it was the best way to get kids/their parents to buy the games. By the time the Wii U came around, NoA had loosened up on its content policy, but the third-party games still didn't really come in, and so Nintendo kept its family-friendly reputation. Meanwhile the 3DS has a surprising amount of M-rated games for a Nintendo handheld, like SMT4/Apocalypse, MGS3, Zero Escape/Zero Time Dilemma, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Persona Q (that was M-rated?).
