Decline Glorified Plug N Play Returns! (Nintoddlers go wild!)

[buru5]

I don't get the hate or criticism. Theoretically, one could download just about any game off the internet and play it for free. One of the reasons why gaming is bad (and objectively, it is so, compared to past eras) is the compensation is so terrible for the amount of work put into the product. Reselling and remaking old games can provide a passive income stream that rewards good game making, and encourages those who put talented products into the industry to stay and continue their work.

Why shouldn't Thief be remade and resold every five years, capturing a new audience each time and providing income to its original creators? That's exactly what happens with literature.

You make good points.

 

[FeelTheRads]

How often do the original creators get compensated, especially with remakes from which most often profit only completely unrelated people.
I appreciate your intentions, but we're not living in Utopia.

If the market rewarded remakes/updates then content creators would sign contracts to receive profits from those updates, just like authors of books.

Well, these things have never been a product for gamers, but for hipsters, the kind of people who subscribe to Lootcrate and feel "geek" because they read Popular Comic of the Day (Saga or The Walking Dead, for instance).

Almost every single one of the NES thingies got sold in the second hand market after release because, yeah, retro games aren't really as fun as people make them to be.

You are incredibly naive.

The market rewards remakes/updates much more than any kind of innovation. The entertainment industry is currently literally living on remakes/updates.

Regardless, this is completely irrelevant to what contracts the creators sign.

I know most of you don't give a fuck but I wrote up short personal reviews for each title on this piece of shit, see this as a guide for why you should download a SNES emulator and pirate these roms.

Contra III: The Alien Wars - 8/10
Fine mindless action game. Great for what it tries to do.

Donkey Kong Country - 5/10
Really overrated garbage. Looks like shit too. Boring gameplay.

Earthbound - 1/10
One of the most pretentious JRPGs ever created. Entirely overrated hipster trash. Linear as fuck, shallow combat, no replayability. This game is responsible for garbage like Undertale.

Final Fantasy III (VI) - 7/10
Fine JRPG, slightly overrated. A bit shallow until the end of the game when you unlock the summon system, which was the precursor to the materia system in FF7. Story is over hyped. People say Kefka is the best FF villain but really he's just an insane person in clown make up. Good for 1 playthrough.

F-ZERO - 8/10
Fine racer for what it tries to be. Controls well and has a pretty cool aesthetic. Better than Mario Kart.

Kirby Super Star - 10/10
This is the BEST Kirby game. Every mainline Kirby game that came out afterwards tries to be this game and fails (some come close). Played this a shit ton when it came out. Not very challenging but very fun, has co-op which is hit or miss.

Kirby’s Dream Course - 0/10
Lol

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - 9/10
Great game, possibly the best Zelda title. Like Super Star, this is the game that every Zelda game tries to be and fails at on most levels. OoT was basically this game in 3D format.

Mega Man X - 8/10
Great challenging platformer. Have played this game several times and personally know a few autistic people who speedrun this game like crazy.

Secret of Mana - 7/10
Interestin JRPG, haven't beaten it but played about 10 hours and though it was well done. Multiple character options.

Star Fox - 5/10
It's ok, has not aged well at all. Only time I played this was a long time ago when I was in the hospital for something I don't even remember now, maybe a bad association but I never cared for it. people.

Star Fox 2 - idk
Never played, never will.

Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting - 6/10
A classic, but it hasn't aged well. May have spawned an entire genre of countless rip offs but that doesn't make it any good especially when every game that came afterwards did everything better.

Super Castlevania IV - 8/10
Meh, not the best "classic" style Castlevania by any means.

Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts - 10/10
Fun, challenging. Doesn't take itself very seriously. Can't get much better than this for mindless fun.

Super Mario Kart - 7/10
Play Kario Kart 64 instead.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - 4/10
Overhyped JRPG garbage. Slow, boring, shallow. No reason to touch this unless you're an insane Mario fanboy.

Super Mario World - 9/10
This is the most fun I've had with a Mario game. Very good addition. Lots of content, power-ups, etc. Good platforming.

Super Metroid - 8/10
Pretty fun, slightly overhyped. Spawned the Metroidvania nonsense. Fun game with good exploration for a platformer (for it's time). Every game that copied its formula does it better but this is a good introduction.

Super Punch-Out!! - 6/10
It's Super Punch-Out. You know how this game works. You either like it or you don't.

Yoshi’s Island - 7/10
Interesting platformer, feels nice and responsive. Escort gimmick detracts from the game.

 

[pippin]

Spawned the Metroidvania nonsense

Wrong, Metroidvania was born when they made a Castlevania game with Metroid gameplay.

You're right; I don't give a fuck.

Pretty fun, slightly overhyped. Spawned the Metroidvania nonsense. Fun game with good exploration for a platformer (for it's time). Every game that copied its formula does it better but this is a good introduction.

Even though Super Metroid is flawed (floaty jumping, Maridia, slightly clunky controls, etc) none of the other 2D Metroid games have as much quality content; Zero Mission is significantly shorter and Fusion is linear. Super Metroid is still arguably the best 2D Metroid game.

I don't know if I'd consider shit tons of backtracking "quality content" but I guess it depends on your perspective. I enjoyed Fusion more, hated Zero Mission. And I'd take any Castlevania title after SotN over Super Metroid any day.

 

[Talby]

No Chrono Trigger?

 

[Lyric Suite]

20 games. That's the most offensive part really. I mean, sure, it is mostly a marketing gimmick and only morons are going to buy it, but there's still no excuse for this low effort bullshit.

 

[Edward The Mediocre]

That's exactly why they're doing it really, because they can get away with it. Honestly they could of gone away with only putting snes games that got on smash bros roster, guarantee you that it would be less than 20 games.

LOLZ
Pick up a used SNES from off the street (or in your closet/basement).
Buy an everdrive.
Plug it into that old CRT you stuck in your closet/basement.

Now you have all the games ever, running in glorious 240p, perfect, with no input lag or anything, for just slightly more that what this thing will cost. Or instead of an everdrive, get a super UFO Pro and it will end up CHEAPER.

 

[Edward The Mediocre]

This should be in every mini nintendo console thread.

This video is indicative of the average Lootcrate. Posted it for the FUCKING INFLATABLE FUCKING CROWN which became a meme for a short time.



Ashens is the only one who reviews this stuff without behaving like a hired idiot.

How much space would take to fill the entire snes library? Like what, four, five gigs max? I remember pirating this HUGE rom collection that had like every SNES game ever and it was like three gigs or so.

Low effort as fuck, and hipsters take the bait. Morons

Even the virtual console has very few games, but I imagine that woud be due to licensing issues more than anything else. Not every NES or SNES game was licensed by Nintendo.

Licensing issues is a thing, yo.

Also, last SNES ROM collection I saw was 20 Gb in size.

I find those hired idiots more entertaining to watch

From the perspective of hipsters and similar ilk (extremely casual gamers), who are liable to make a handful of game-related purchases over a lifetime, it's not a terrible deal. I would still argue it's a waste of the raw resources required to make them and shows you what corporate whores most of these YouTube unboxers are, who are likely aware of the emulation scene.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I'm pretty certain it was all zipped, but beyond that I have no idea about the depth of autism it sank to.

 

[Falkner]

GoodSNES set is 2.42 gigs, No-Intro set is 2.94.
There are people who use preview videos that are played back on game select in their frontends, that's the only conceivable way I could see to get you to 20.
