Some more decent pre-PlayStation games based on anime and manga: Cyborg Hunter (SMS) Hyper Iria (Super NES) Little Nemo (NES and arcade, technically wouldn't exist without the animated movie) Mystic Defender (Genesis) Macross Plus (arcade) The Sailor Moon brawler (arcade) Samurai Pizza Cats / Kyattou Ninden Teyandee (NES) Secret Ties (NES, unreleased in its day but available from every ROM site) Spellcaster (SMS) YuYu Hakusho (Genesis) Zillion (SMS, the second one isn't as good) I won't say that the majority of those are amazing, but they're all fun on their own merits. And you'll find plenty of other games that are enjoyable if you're a fan of the source material, like the old Doraemon NES game, the Zenki PC-FX game, or the Arslan and Record of Lodoss War games for the Sega CD. A lot of anime-based games are crap, of course. BENGHAZI 2 posted:What's the Miami Mike incident https://twitter.com/bunnycartoon/status/617529970001182720 No one seems to know exactly what he did.

Lotta good games being mentioned...Charles Get-Out posted:It's clearly Magic Knight Rayearth for the Saturn. Actually, that's not a bad game even though nowhere near worth the insane prices for it. It's kind of fun as a light action-adventure game. I'm glad I got it on Saturn clearance. Kid Fenris posted:Little Nemo (NES and arcade, technically wouldn't exist without the animated movie) I completely forgot that this was actually based on the anime rather than Winsor McCay's comics (I still have to get the other giant oversized volume of the strips).. Kid Fenris posted:YuYu Hakusho (Genesis) I really dislike this one. It's got a lot of the early fighter clunkiness and I find it really clumsy to play.

absolutely anything posted:And to sorta combine the two recent topics, back when I was in high school my mom worked at the library of my old middle school so I'd just dick around in there when I got out. I ended up installing a torrent client to a computer and using that to download a ton of anime in the background since they never turned them off. Every day after school I would slowly load as much of it as I could onto a couple of Zip disks, then bring them home and copy them onto my computer. Eventually one of them broke and got a corrupted episode of Chobits stuck on it forever, which made me extra mad cause that show ended up being garbo. Even with the one disk all of this was still faster and more efficient than doing it at home on my connection. The public library in the town I lived in through the 1990s had a pretty great net connection (when everything was basically 56K), so I would download stuff ultra quickly onto floppies. poo poo got more real when my brother played with the file handling in Netscape and got it to execute WinRAR, so we could break up bigger files. I also recall uploading the odd file to the meager bit of filespace I had with Geocities, so I could download it at home for the times I didn't have enough floppies or they were being lovely. Lotta ROMs, MP3s, and the like we're schlepped back home that way...memories...

I just want to say as someone who collects old commercials that those are definitely valuable to me. Japanese commercials are so loving great, especially when Hollywood stars decide to go Japandering and you get Schwarzenegger shilling for instant noodles or Stallone for Kirin Beer. Has anyone played Blaster Master Zero on the Switch? It fixes basically all the problems the original game had. Who wants to play a game like that in one sitting for example? That and Bionic Commando expecting you to play it in one go.

Nonviolent J posted:Ive always said n64 was my favourite console but the more i play snes stuff on wii u i realize apart from goldeneye and lylat wars theres not much i like on it No there are going to be good N64 emulators. MAME has a cycle-accurate one coming along quite nicely, though it requires a beefy computer to run well and is still only like 2/3 done. There's also the CEN64 project doing the same thing without quite the restrictions of a MAME driver. Currently CEN64 runs ~2/3 of the N64 library correctly, with another 1/4 running with noticeable errors (such as controller pak based saves not working,, or sky textures missing etc). Neddy Seagoon posted:There's a good reason for that; N64 games are idiosyncratically hatefucked builds coded out of spite for the machine, so no game will ever work the same as any other. That's what happens when you (apparently) release a devkit and make the developers all work without class guides. It is almost a literal miracle that any game works on the drat thing, let alone a library of decent titles. That's how tons of console programming on every system works. The problem we actually have in emulation is that all the mainstream emulation for the system relied on very high level emulation to try to get games running acceptably on home computers barely faster than the system, and then have been progressively hacked on since then to support more games. You didn't see any real attempts to emulate properly, which would make sure that everything works, until very recently with MESS/MAME starting work on a driver and the CEN64 team starting their own work, both around 2012/2013. There's a lot of ground to cover still, but ultimately there's weirder changes between game engines between, say, random PS1 games. It's just that PS1 emulators have historically had way more focus on emulating all the hardware from the start instead of trying to make individual game code run!

If I buy a used PSP on ebay with the intention of modding it and playing games off of the Memory Stick, what should I be aware of in terms of condition? Seems a lot of the options have broken UMD slots or are "untested" and buy at your own risk.

I'd just pay attention to how scratched the screen is, and to avoid the 1000 models. They have a more fragile UMD door and a hilariously failure prone wifi switch, though it's not like either is particularly useful anymore. Also the trick with eBay is that "untested" actually means fully functional but they can't be bothered to find a power supply 90% of the time.

Additional reason to avoid the 1000 is that it's the only model that can't output component video. If you're into that sort of thing.

Seems a lot of the options have broken UMD slots or are "untested" and buy at your own risk. You should totally go for one with a broken UMD slot, so long as the pictures show that the controls are all in order and the screen looks fine without major scratches. A bad or missing battery/battery door/charger can easily be replaced, and playing games off the UMD drive always sucks anyway. Even if you decide you like collecting the UMDs, you should still play the games off of a memory stick instead, as you get improved load times and battery life out of the unit. Edit: and to be clear, repairing the UMD slot is often a simple matter of something being jammed or loose, or the laser head somehow getting dirty. Fixing those issues is usually very simple, people just don't bother. fishmech fucked around with this message at 18:42 on Mar 15, 2017 |

Bonk would've obviously been better due to mascot culture, but I don't think that was necessarily entrenched yet in 89. I just wish they had used the JP cover instead. I used to think Keith Courage was a decent game unfairly thrust into a system-seller role, but then I played it through. The goofy low-rent charm vanishes a few levels in, leaving just a repetitive side-scroller with overworld stages full of boring money-grinding and underworld stages full of cheap deaths that demand memorization. It's good for a laugh or two, but it's a crap game. R-Type was NEC and Hudson's other choice for a pack-in, and it would've shown off the system much better. And if they had to go with a side-scroller, The Legendary Axe at least looked nice and wasn't the same thing over and over. Bonk was out in Japan a few months after the TurboGrafx-16 hit North America, so it could've been a pack-in if they'd waited. I think Keith Courage reflects the reluctance of that era's Japanese game companies to bundle a system with one of their best titles. Sega of Japan didn't want to pack Sonic in with the Genesis when Tom Kalinske suggested it, and even the early Genesis lineup was careful not to put Golden Axe or Ghouls 'N Ghosts with the system. Super Mario Bros.accompanied the NES early on, but Nintendo had to take some risks in a market hostile to console games.

The main reason is because they wanted something that looked impressive more than played impressively. The pack-in games usually aren't games you'd go out and buy by themselves when the system launches because they also need you to actually buy software with your console.

A. Just because it isn't the best game doesn't mean it's a bad game. It just gets a way harsher rep than it should. B. I've read a few times that choosing games that got released was hilariously mishandled, I don't doubt that this had an effect on things like pack-in titles either. Also, everybody did platformers. You can make the Legendary Axe argument, but R-Type wasn't likely to happen. The first shooter pack in I remember is that disc with Air Zonk. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/225466/stalled_engine_the_turbografx16_.php?print=1 Gamasutra posted:"I became aware of so many cool games for PC Engine, and NEC was bringing over so many of the wrong games for the TurboGrafx," Ireland says. "The people in charge of picking what games to do were completely out of their element. A main producer was letting her little kids pick which games to bring over because she had no idea what she was looking at. It was absurd."
