All the numbered personas are independent from each other. There are some games that are basically fan-servicey crossovers (Persona 4 Arena, Persona Q), so I recommend starting with either 3(Portable), 4(Golden) or 5(Royal). You can pick just one and go!
Depending on how you’re feeling:
Persona 3 has an amazing moody vibe to it: I’m sadly afraid it’ll be a little toned down in the remake in favor of something more akin to P5. It can be grindy, but you can play it on easy if you can’t be bothered. Maybe it’s because it’s the first one I played, but I still deem it my absolute favorite of the tree.
Persona 4 is something of an in-between, but a banger nonetheless. It’s a game in which the usually upbeat soundtrack is placed in direct contrast to a mysterious foggy countryside town.
Persona 5 is, in terms of gameplay and fluidity, the absolute best. I highly suggest you NOT to start here simply because after you get used to the gameplay of P5, dealing with P3/P4 will be slightly harder imo; those are still highly relevant to play nonetheless: they all have very different stories, very different characters, some may be for you while others may be not. For me, P5’s story tried to be so grand that it failed in delivering the same “personal connection” that the player could feel with P3/P4. Or maybe I grew out of highschool settings by the time P5 came around, who knows.
This is a really neat solution, but I can also play GameCube ISOs off my hacked Wii for free without the need for hardware to accomplish it, so I can’t say there is a huge usecase for this other than people who want the clean implementation and the original GameCube look.
No, the Wii plays GameCube games natively. It has GameCube hardware in it. It’s not emulating the games.
You’re completely ignoring the difference between a natively run/performing game and the performance/bugs that appear when emulating. Even the best emulators can’t give you an exact playthrough like the native console would.
There are very few emulators that do that and they’re still limited to the 8 and 16-bit eras because the power required to emulate all the console’s hardware to accurately run the games is immense. Almost every emulator uses tricks to get close to native performance but they don’t actually emulate games the way they are played on the consoles.
I agree, homebrewing a Wii is so easy that I think I could do it in my sleep at this point. If anyone is debating between one or the other, Wii is the way to go you’re essentially getting two consoles in one (and there are even emulators/vc for almost every console that comes before them).
That being said, I just have to admire the work that people are putting in to the GameCube after all these years. There’s something really pleasing to me about its form factor and its simplicity compared to the Wii. This channel has several other showcases like this one if that sounds interesting!
Sounds better than my current setup. I have Swiss on a SD card plugged in with a memory card adapter, my roms on a micro SD card in the serial port using an SD2SP2. To boot into Swiss I have to use an Action Replay disc. It works but it’s a pain.
This is a fantastic video. Watched it on my lunch break. I was aware of the rolling method, but all of the developments after that were news to me. Very cool.
