Listen to this and I fucking dare you to type that again
Playstation 2 Startup Noise
Iād argue PS2 is objectively better since itās also a PS1 too
Technically, PS2 was better. But PS2 was also the beginning of the end for proper single player narrative games like the Final Fantasy Series, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Colony Wars, Wing Commander, etcā¦
The PS2 kept those going early on, but I feel like later into itās life cycle it started to move down the āeverything has to be multiplayer nowā route.
Which is why, for me, my list of emulated games skews FAR heavier to old PS1 classics.
Just my opinion though. Donāt shoot me, please.
rapcheeAhead of its time, for the future when man would be blessed by genetic technology to bestow 3 hands upon themselves
AniviaThe controller was perfectly fine. The concept was slightly ridiculous and I donāt think I ever played a game that actually used the left side, but ergonomically it was fine.
n64 was trash tho
Yea, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Majoraās Mask, 007, Wave Racer, Pilot Wings, Tetrisphere, Banjo Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing. All garbage.
iām glad we can agree.
I was obviously being sarcastic, but why do you think those games were trash? They were all really quite revolutionary for their time. Compared to modern games they suck, but for that generation of games, they were unmatched in graphics and mechanics.
zero of them held my interest back then, and zero of them hold my interest today. it didnāt help that the machine was janky and the controller was a shitshow. just an all around wreck of a console.
I guess you have the attention span of a gnat to not hold the interest of a single one of those games, especially since they span a wide range of genres. I would also be curious to know what games released during that generation looked better. My first step into those 3d worlds blew my mind, and captivated me at the potential future of gaming. If there was something else during that time that looked as good, I would love to hear it.
Maybe they get motion sickness from the early 3d rendering?
Idk. I love n64, weird as it is.
GameCube was the first console in the house that was actually MINE and not my siblingās, and so it will forever be the best to me, especially with games like:
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Animal Crossing
- Mario Kart: Double Dash
- Super Smash Bros Melee
- The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
And others Iām surely forgetting
I have been looking for this game for at least a decade and I finally got a copy over the summer.
I know, but it was my white whale and I wanted to play it on the original hardware.
caseyweedermanSD cards exist (and hardware mods)
- Luigiās Mansion
Great game tbh. Very graphically forward for the time, and it is also short as well. The vibes are impeccable as well. Itās been a while since Iāve emulated it (2016), but Iām guessing it has gotten much better since then. (physical copy goes for above $60 today.)
ComfortableRaspberryWind Waker but no Twilight Princess? :o
The Metroid Prime games were incredible. Also shout-out to Chibi Robo, I loved that game.
Wigglesworth2 > 1
and Iām not apologizing. Magmoor caverns drags P1 down for me.
I also strongly preferred 2 over 1. Way more variety and interesting areas. And those suits were SO COOL
Metroid Prime was one of the most memorable games I played in my childhood, up there with ocarina of time and super Mario bros, imo.
skulblakaGod thatās so disappointing.
Dread was some of their finest work of all time and actually had me pretty excited for Prime 4. I havenāt played it yet, but reactions to MP4 have beenā¦ quite poor.
Is it really that bad? I know critics are prone to hyperbole, but even the regular people YouTube reviews have been pretty scathing.
I havenāt played it butā¦ We finally get a vehicle to run around and it ISNT the fucking SPACESHIP!?!
Iām sorry but when I hear Nintendo gamers talk about all their games itās like
āI play a lot of different games like:
ā Mario
ā Mario
ā Mario with a green hat
ā Mario with boxing gloves
ā Mario in a carā

OK, but letās be real, Nintendo isnāt competing on the strength of their hardware, its that they (used to) have IPs that slap. If I had a choice to play a 3rd party game on a Nintendo console or PC, Iām picking PC.
Nowadays, I am not a Nintendo fan. I donāt like their practices and either the IPs arenāt as good anymore or maybe Iāve aged out of the demographic, so I donāt really have a horse in the fight. But the point is, if youāre gaming on a Nintendo console, its probably because youāre playing a Nintendo IP.
I mean, they are different games with different mechanics.
Mario Tennis and Super Mario Bros are less similar to one another than Call of Duty and Battlefield, despite them being from the same publisher and having the same characters.
Better than Skyrim, Skyrim, Skyrim but itās the same as Skyrim, and Skyrim
Sunshine fucked so hard, Iām looking directly into your soul with that at the top of the list and let me tell you, I fucking see you dude.
And I love it.

sp3ctr4lEternal Darkness: Sanityās Requiem
One of the very few M rated GameCube gamesā¦ and, as far as I know, has a unique core sanity mechanic that fairly routinely breaks the fourth wall, aimed at driving you, the player, at losing your own sanity, not merely depicting this happening to your character.
Also, IIRC, the first iteration of Pikmin, a genuienly novel kind of game. Luigiās Mansion, also a pretty unique kind of game.
Oh, and they remade Metal Gear Solid on it, with better graphics than the PS1.
thethunderwolfThere is a Windwaker HD, so the HD HD remaster would be Windwaker 4K
I miss ROM-Hacking Luigiās Mansion. Had some huge drama on some forums and crashed out. Iāve never recovered since.
Sometimes the old friend group laughs behind my back at my old code. I wish that was just my anxiety talking.
I need details about this.
