Retro games and emulation - Discuss retro shit in case you're stuck in the past or a hipster

With how much theyre shitting up switch online and fan projects with the barest of minimum game quality, theyre just coasting off of peoples nostalgic good will at this point. I hope people understand this is no longer Reggie Iwata and Miyamotos nintendo. They even hired a nigger who was calling people racist last week on twitter for saying they wont buy woke shit.
This is the same company which killed AM2R to ""celebrate"" Metroid's 30th Birthday, and this was during the 6 year franchise coma...

Suck my Stilicho cock Ninty. I already have everything I could want and you aren't getting me back in the door with Blackened nuZelda.
will upload these to file sharing sites whenever possible, succ it Ninty.jpg

They will literally nigger every franchise they have in order to suck the dregs out of the (((western))) ESG shekel machine, as their home Jap economy dies the death (due in large part to being a western client state under Americanda's weaponized Rothschild fiat ponzi). Nintendo getting back into Hollyjew movies was a huge red flag, the PoZ rot always gets in through the movies/media every time. Don't even get me started on the west coast treehouse-tier "localizers" shenanigans of late.
 
What do you guys think of Rare's post-Nintendo output?

Like most, my opinion of Rare was god tier during the SNES and N64. Starfox Adventures was merely okay, and then they were bought by Microsoft at which point that churned out shit.

But on reflection the only Microsoft games era Rare games I played were Perfect Dark Zero and Viva Pinata, both of which were not good. I always wanted to try Kameo but never got around to it, and a friend of mine loves Sea of Thieves despite that game getting shit on at release.

Perfect Dark Zero was ok for a launch title. It compares well to something like the original Time Splitters(meaning the first time splitters release on PS2).

Viva Pinata is a good game and Kameo was pretty decent. Nuts & Bolts was just fantastic when you figured out that the rules of sportsmanship doesn't apply to you. Beautiful as well. (the chaotic hare-brained scheme nature of N&B actually makes it closer to Blast Corps than any of their other titles)

You mean when they took down a remake of a game that directly competed with the remake they were already half a year from releasing? The one that they waited until a week after its release to take down so everyone would have time to download it anyway, then completely ignored after the initial DMCA so that it kept getting new updates and ports long after the “takedown” including a fucking Switch port? Yeah, I remember that.

I think SFA is underrated, but yeah, pretty much. I never played Kameo but if it ever gets a port then I'd be interested, it seems like their last good looking game.

no lol. he was writing nonsense for the sake of it. If anything, he would've talked about queer mario due to Super Mario Wonder having a Non-Binary character (that worm faggot prince)
I thought he was referencing the DiVeRsE TotK NPCs. But Wonder has an official nonbinary/faggot character...?

Where do you work at Nintendo?

thankfully it only has a couple of lines, but basically this worm goes that "he'd rather go shopping than fighting" (at around the first or second world) and some other shit.
Maybe it's just me, but it rubbed me the wrong way.

Also, according to screenrant, the design was way different back in the early 90s.

Imagine Mario getting cucked by a nonbinary guy in Wonder 2.
 
I'll be buying one, really happy to see something with such high quality that manages to not stuff in extra stupid buttons that don't belong on a Game Boy.

There's also a ton of salt about Palmer Luckey on twitter and elsewhere regarding this. Just as a sampler:

I don't get it, those rainbow flag looking Game Boys are somehow made by right-wing trolls? Is it in-fighting because they left out one of the infinite genders or something?

I looked into getting an Analogue Pocket a couple of years ago, and it just looked like pure influencer trash. Overpriced, crazy unnecessary high-res screen for very low-res games, doesn't play roms despite having an SD card slot, and you had to get on a waiting list to even get the opportunity to purchase one.

I dunno about that one, either. $200, as opposed to Analogue's $220. That's a whooooooooole lotta money to spend on something that doesn't play all that much.

The appeal of this is that it is only being a really high quality Game Boy Color. It does one thing very well. It's a good price vs premodded GBCs, and honestly try to price out good condition normal GBCs these days even; they aren't $10 any more.

Personally I have 70 or so GB and GBC carts plus a couple Everdrives and am pretty aware that this sort of hobby isn't cheap any more.

There's no reason it shouldn't also be able to play GBA games and other consoles, is there? If it's arbitrarily capped at GBC it seems unnecessary. Even if they don't want to add other buttons many games from other systems may need, it should still be an option. I don't see how anybody can justify it, who only wants GBC specifically this much?
