heavy, do gaming w It's often the only good way for new generations to experience the classics

The older I get the more I come across excellent content and media that is sometimes hard to get going on modern machines. I totally understand and defend the need for preservation. Like most things in tech I wish the law would catch up and be more reflective of what people want and need. A good place to start would be these copyright laws and friendlier right to repair stuff. Just some thoughts.

isn’t it enough for companies that we love their games like damn, there should be a law that if a game is 10 yrs or older, it should become permanently free

Best episode of the Simpsons hands down.

Sussy Super Mario Bros 2 is super fun though, even if it is just reskinned Doki Doki Panic. I’ve played DDP in an emulator, but I like it better with the Mario characters!

I’m so nostalgic for it. I played it over and over on the SNES Mario All Stars cartridge.

I’m nostalgic for it too! Everything about it – the colors, the music, the game play – makes me happy!

One of my favorites in the series. I wish they would would make SMB22.

fartsparkles,

Seems a bit wild to skip out 3 to 21 but to each, their own.

Having a run button enhances the gameplay quite a bit as well.

Nintendo made the right(ish) decision. Making a harder version of the same game is not a proper sequel.

hansl,

Kaizo speedrunners disagree.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

It wasn’t just a harder version.

Miyamoto handed it off to another director, and wasnt really focused. It broke the game design rules that he created. Power ups were supposed to reward you. The game had a lot of unfairness for the sake of messing with players.

Aren’t there statements about his mental state attributing to the design having these changes? I could’ve sworn I read something about the poison mushroom being too controversial and a whole thing about him (Miyamoto) seeking therapy.

I don’t mind 'it’s was a nice game .

I remember when Mario 3 came out, there was so much hype and demand for yet another sequel that a local game rental store put a copy of “Super Mario Bros. 4” on their shelf. Astonished at our good fortune, we immediately rented it.

Our first clue something was off: the box was much different, square-shaped. Mario was on the box, but the writing was all in Japanese.

The game cartridge was also odd, but we just chalked it up to being a super-secret Japanese release and rushed home to play it. Looking back, It was actually a Famicom cartridge with a converter attached to it.

When we turned on the game, it gave us Mario game and a Luigi game options. We were quite befuddled to pick up the poison mushroom almost immediately and get that face-slap the game was intended to deliver. Somehow my brother later discovered he could play even harder levels right away by holding one or 2 of the buttons while pressing start.

Overall it was a bit disappointing, but it was the game we selected to rent so we were stuck with it and played the hell out of it. What a weird surprise to see it come back years later on the SNES…

Jackcooper,

The SNES release letscyou save after every level which was totally necessary for my American ass

The real SMB2 was on Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES and I gotta say… The reskinned Doki Doki Panic is a better game.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

It is, but it doesn’t play like a Super Mario Bros. game at all. They just got away with it because the series was still new.

Kolanaki,

Even back then, when you jumped onto the first enemy and just… Stood on them instead of killing them was pretty different.

It wasn’t totally outrageous though. Zelda did it. I think there might be more, but I’m old and this is reaching way back in the memory banks.

Odo,

We used to compare Zelda II, SMB 2, and Castlevania II for all taking weird swings before swerving back for their third entries.

Did you know there is a sequel on the nintendo switch? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruis'n_Blast

@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

Literally the first thing that pops into my mind when I think about this as well. And you had to do a secret code to get it, even in the arcade! Something to do with turning the wheel a few times and then the gas and brake in a certain order?

Edit- looked it up. was just holding down view 2. thought there was more to it.

I credit this game for the way I drive today.

Chuymatt,

That’s me and carmageddon…

baldingpudenda,

Yall making me nostalgia hard. Gonna go down load these games and kill the rest of my week

aeronmelon,

Pop a wheelie at every green light?

This was the only reason I went to church for a few years. To sneak to the annex and drive.

"Still, there goes one of the racing games I ever had"

How many people inserted "best" into that sentence subconsciously?

SomeoneSomewhere,

I think the ‘ever’ implies a ‘best’. You need both or neither.

orbitz,

Does it? You would say that’s one of the ever I had of a steak sandwich, if it was one of the best. It seems like it needs best/worst/mediocre sort of descriptive word in there to make sense. Mean you can guess from the scene and tone but I’d never write it out or even say it that way. Of course I never did well in English and am glad to learn new things.

It could just be sarcasm, like, “it was certainly one of the games of 2024”

Rusty,

The best part of that game was when he said "IT’S CRUIS’N USA TIME’ and cruis’d all over those guys

ColeSloth,

I read it correctly and then re-read because I felt like I must have missed the word and it would actually be there. Then I read it a third time to really make sure.

Rush 2 was the far superior N64 arcade racer

Albbi,

I really enjoyed Extreme-G, but never hear much about it nowadays.

Extreme-G was lit

That era of arcade games was some of the best ever.

“COMING SOON FOR THE NINTENDO ULTRA 64!”

ColeSloth,

I had my initials in the top spot of so many cruisn world arcade systems in my city. Loved that game.
