They were running a buck each up until the import charge changes. For under 10 bucks you could get Final fantasies 4,5,6,Dragonquest 5 and 6, Chrono Trigger, and Earthbound all together.


Japanese Super Metroid is the exact same as the US version and were printed in the same run. There is literally no difference between the two versions other than the cart shape.

So are the Mario Edutainment games and Mario Paint games bad?

Because I beat Super Mario World 2:Yoshi's Island the other week and I am out of classic Mario games.

Yes I even beat SNES Mario kart and Super Mario RPG too.

Mario Paint is more an app than a game (the game is just a fly-swatting mini-game and there isn't much to it), although it's a good one, at least for the era (you'll need a Super NES Mouse, though, which is a ball mouse :gonk:)

The edutainment games are horrible

and I think even super noah's ark 3d did too but that's because it's literally wolfenstein.smc but with noahs ark graphics

simcity didn't for some reason and you'd think they would have patched that in eventually but then again, nintendo :rolleyes:

its turbogay how other systems like ps1 and dreamcast had mice but only a few games that used them and then consoles started having USB ports so you could just plug in any mouse to play and now no console games use mice, what the gently caress dude

someone did a test because they wanted to make a multiplayer game where console gamers and pc gamers could play together. middling average fps gamers were consistently wiping the floor with the best console controller players they could find, so they ditched the idea.

although you can get a xim if you really want the kb+m experience.

lol shadowrun '07 tried to alleviate that with messing up the PC gamer's aiming anytime they did a quick turn

I was thinking more along the lines of a modern mario paint or clock tower but touchscreens and right sticks have made the console mouse obsolete so the kids of today will grow up in a grayer and gayer world than we did

Not 100% reliable but

"I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their "console" controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse."

Unfortunately the precision of mouse aiming meant the PC players had something of an advantage.

"The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the XBOX team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative."

if SNES does the thing where the framerate is tied to ntsc refresh rates you're gonna end up wanting to kill yourself if you try to get it absolutely perfect
