I want an HD remake collection of Road Rash 1-3 and using real guitars for the music.
I was being sarcastic.
I read that one already, but thanks.
I went ahead and ordered the Retro Freak. I’ll let you guys know how it is when I get it.
When I got Castlevania IV that was one of the happiest days of my life. That game is STILL on point and has actually aged really well IMO. People can say what they want about Symphony Of The Night, which is still a great game, but Castlevania IV really took the atmosphere, graphics, music, and level design to the next level. Konami was such a great company back in the day, it’s utterly disappointing to see what they’ve become.
What do you think of the 8-way whip mechanic? I thought it was interesting, and makes CV4 unique since that never happened again.
You know, even though I do have a 3-year long save on glitching the fuck outta SotN with almost 280% map completion…
I agree. SCV4 is the best in the whole damn series.
8 way whip is pretty cool, but it really trivialized a lot of enemies in the game, its why CV4 is one if the easier ones in the series.
Its still a really good game, and its graphics and music are fuckin great. Only thing i dont like in CV4 are the Mode 7 levels.
SCV4 is my favorite, as well. But I still haven’t played SOTN or anything after. I’m actually thinking about getting SOTN for PS3 or PS4 to go ahead and finally play through it. And then the GBA Castlevanias on the Wii U.
I went through most of the RPGs I wanted to last year. Does anyone have any good old school RPGs I might have missed.
Rudra no Hihou
Depends on what you’ve already played!
Illusion of Gaia? Standard action-adventure RPG (real-time combat like Zelda/Mana) that isn’t part of the usual FF/Zelda/Chrono Trigger/Secret of Mana SNES RPG library.
One of the things I’m going to do when I get the Retro Freak is catch up on any RPGs I missed.
As for any RPGs you might have missed, I’ll just list a bunch off the top of my head:
[list]
[] Earthbound
[] Dragon Quest 5, 6 (DS versions recommended)
[] Illusion of Gaia
[] Terranigma
[] Secret of Mana
[] Seiken Densetsu 3 (highly recommend)
[] Super Mario RPG
[] Phantasy Star IV
[] Chrono Trigger
[] Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6
[] Brain Lord
[] Lufia 2
[] Ogre Battle
[] Tactics Ogre (PSP version recommended)
[*] Breath of Fire 1 & 2
[/list]
Have a look at these

Wish Bahamut Lagoon was officially released here in the US, but '96 was a time of transition to the 32-bit era, so eh. Dope SRPG.
Well believe it or not I didn’t actually play a lot of RPGs back on the 16-bit days. I didn’t get into RPGs until I got my ps1 so excluding FF6,chrono,phantasy star and the big name classics I didn’t play a lot of 16-bit era RPGs.
Dunno why but I was thinking about Greendog the other day. Think it was the first game I bought with my own money as a kid.
I didn’t see it mentioned. Soul Blazer (action RPG). So fucking good in all departments. It’s the “unofficial” prequel to Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma. Act Raiser is amazing. Very unique…kinda like Sim City with side scrolling action.
I’d mention Secret of Mana, but if you don’t know about that, you should be burned alive.
I bought a Super Famicom with this idea, but unless you read Japanese or are REALLY hard up to play a certain game, I don’t think it’s worth it. I wanted an affordable Mega Man X2 and 3, but to me it’s not the same when everything is in Japanese.
Over 20 years later and A Link to the Past is still the best Zelda game and Super Metroid still the best Metroid.
What I miss most about the 16-Bit era though, is being able to rely on certain brands when I was looking for quality.
Konami and Capcom don’t mean the same anymore when I look at their logos.
Retrogaming nowadays is fucking awesome though. There’s top notch emulators out there, and I fucking love playing through old games with the almighty Playstation controller.
Stock Nintendo and Sega controllers were fucking garbage.
Someone needs to bring out a good Contra clone.
Contra 4 was truly the last good run and gun I played in a long time.
So good.
