for a more traditional style fantasy rpg, ffVI (FFIII in the US) on the SNES is the way to go.
is futuristic dystopia is your style go with FF VIIfor PS
and for more of a live action feel rather than turn based, like parasite eve or mmorpgs, go with FFXII for PS2

My brother is trying to tell me that Nintendo makes a controller that has close to 200 of the original NES games on it that you simply plug into the TV. I can't find anything like this online.

Do you gamers know if this exists or is my brother lying to me as I suspect he might be?

it is a device loaded with pirated games, you can find them in most shady mall stands. they are NOT endorsed by nintendo

Do you have a link or specific location? Hook a fellow Mod up.

just download an NES emulator and a bunch of roms then play on your PC. but only if you own the games for real- otherwise it's illegal!!

Thank rufus
Going to check out FFVII (I downloaded the PC version... stationary backgrounds that the character can only move through by one path... is that how it is on PSX?)
I'll probably end up enjoying FFXII the most, I much prefer the real time rather than turn based combat in any game (well, except CivIII)

I appreciate the suggestion but I really don't play video games & have no idea what this means. I just want the goddamn controller.

nintendo will not bust you if you have one of those things, piracy from emulation from SNES and prior they do not give two shits about.

JUST GIVE ME THE FUCKING LINK TO BUY THE CONTROLLER I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT NINTENDO'S LEGAL CONCERNS YOU GAMERS!!!!!!

Try the Ford City Mall.

i was mostly joking. we were a sega family, all my pre-n64 nintendo is from emulation
most emulation any company doesn't care about, unless the games are still being produced. even then, it's highly unlikely you will get caught. they'de only be able to bust you if you were caught DLing a BIOS, which is unlikely because they have to ask ISP's or the police to match a recorded IP to a person. Or if you host a BIOS download...

nick, if you are that desperate, maybe you should try ebay.

Suckers indeed. That's some Goozex robbery.

really nick, emulators are the way to go. pick up a cheap pc game pad form best buy, install fce ultra or whatever the kids are using these days, and get some ROMs. why pay for what you can get for free? also, there is no website i can really point you to for the all in one devices. the people who make those are too shady to have websites as far as i know.

nick, you scum, here's every NES game or so basically, not counting pirated or whatever


http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZUIYB96O

87 mb, comes with an emulator, figure this shit out, it's fucking free

that's about 900 games or so

i mean seriously why would you pay money for ANYTHING these days

Awesome Sausage. Do you see the hot pieces of gash on the "Singles in Chicago" ad that pops up when you click the link?

No, I get the Dekalb/Sycamore version who really look like they need a shave and a haircut

I just downloaded every SNES/NES/genesis/master system game to play on my wii, pretty excited about this. modding that sucker was the best idea i ever had.

Just out of curiosity,
Does anyone know about emulator and Dreamcast? ( does neo4all works fine, how about snes and genesis games? and most important: how does it work?)

its been a long time since i ran emulators on my dreamcast, i think i was running a form of znes for snes. i cant remember though

How did you do this?

vii

good luck finding a PS2 emulator

your best bet is Final Fantasy III(VI) for SNES or Final Fantasy VII(PSX) but 7's dated 3d might be a turnoff.

Final Fantasy III is the best RPG of all time though, except maybe Earthbound.

i much prefer vi, but he asked for ps onwards so vii it was

as much of a snes stan as i am, is dated 3d worse to a newcomer than dated 2d?


secret of mana

ahahaha, even seiken densetsu 3 and legend of mana are better than secret of mana

and FF6 isnt dated 2d, 2d hasn't really made much of a jump since the SNES era. NES games are dated 2d.


FF6 looks better than a lot of 2d DS games.

i find the 2d of SNES much nicer than the graphics of FFVII. it feels like the graphics are more comfortable on snes and kind of forced into 3d in ffvii, at least from what i've seen...

for the record, secret of mana is a great game.

you are a fool


maybe. if i'm new to the series, though, i'll take polys+pre renders over sprites+digitised paintings

then you're an idiot.

i wouldn't (blahblahblah fave game ever), but a lot of people would and, yeah, a lot of people are idiots.

but really, ffvii's graphics aren't that dated really. apart from the disjointed fmv

The blocky characters in FFVII are dated, but nothing really else is. No more than any other game from 1997 at least. There's still a level of craftsmanship in the pre-rendered environments that some games even today can't live up to.

they should just end this arguement by remaking VII on PS3

so i played this for a few hours today. gotta say, it's better than i expected, but i have no vested interest in it other than "ooo fancy glowy things!" so it's not likely to get finished, if i even play it again after today.

gotta love bitttorrent

SSBB friend code: 1633-4192-2387

I would definitely buy a PS3 if they were remaking FFVII

(mine is 5026-4142-0581 fwiw)

Yes. I'm actually thinking about picking one up just for MGS4..

smash, zelda, metroid

and rent/pirate no more heroes

also mario kart/okami this month

SM when are you playing me in SSBB you car wash cunt

OK, so like, the first quarter is done. What are your favorite games of 2008 so far?

MINE!



1. PixelJunk Monsters (PS3)

I just (literally minutes ago) completed the final, absolute last stage in this game, and man was it a badass ride. Absolutely never thought I'd care about this game, but I've sunk at least 25 hours into it (many of those over the last five days) and am crazily anticipating the expansion pack this month. Glorious.



2. Burnout Paradise (360, PS3)

Huge Burnout fan, was a bit apprehensive about this, but it essentially combines the best parts of Grand Theft Auto (cruising around a big ol' city) and most of the best parts of the previous Burnout games to create something pretty spectacular and visionary fo' sho.



3. Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds (PS3)

To be fair, I played a lot of this in 2007 via the Japanese import version, but I gladly ditched it early and have been enjoying the North American release all over again.

Also worthy of a little praise: Downstream Panic (PSP), Wipeout Pulse (PSP), N+ (360), Patapon (PSP)

Alright, go! (Cue flood of Smash Bros. mentions)

Oh also, I imported Echochrome (PSP), Taiko Drum Master (DS), and a white DualShock 3 controller last week, all set to arrive this week, hooray and such.

The only 2008 games I've played so far are Smash, Layton, and Sega Superstars Tennis, so they win by default. Still playing a fuck ton of Team Fortress 2, and Rock Band(did everyone get their "Still Alive" DLC????).

1). Smash Bros Brawl
2) Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin
3) was professor layton this year?
4). No More Heroes


have but havent gotten to yet
new god of war
that new FFVII game for PSP

andyroo you have the weirdest taste in video games ever

Technically, Layton released in Japan last year but it had to be translated, and was released here at the beginning of the year. I forgot I also played Advance Wars too.

then it counts! or else Super Mario World would be a 1990 game.

By "weirdest," you mean "most amazing," right?

1. Peggle (yeah, released last year, but I started it in January, so I'm counting it, so there)
2. Professor Layton
3. Advance Wars

And I'm currently enjoying FFVII Crisis Core and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword but it's too soon to tell if they will hold up. Oh, and I played a friend's Williams Pinball Collection for the Wii and it was pretty great, so that's on order from Amazon.

Layton is kicking ass! "Every puzzle has an ah-nser!"

Strikers single-player is so difficult. It took my roommate and I forever to beat the Crystal Cup. Not looking forward to the Striker Cup.

shut up before i tear off yer dickhole. i tried before. i could try again at, like, 6 Eastern today.

i havent lagged with anyone in forever

how about tomorrow at 6 eastern
