What were some cartridge-based retro games that actually fit some FMV onto the cartridge? Yes yes I know, the first thing that generally comes to mind when this is brought up is the N64 port of Resident Evil 2. Or maybe the GBA in general considering it had those movies-on-a-cart that were so low quality it made RealPlayer videos from the 90s like like a UHD Blu-Ray.

But what other games did it beyond that? Especially if we go older than 5th gen since I know that Pokemon Puzzle League on the N64 also had some.

The only non-GBA examples I can think of other than those two N64 games were the SNES and Genesis versions of Rise of the Robots (The latter of which only came out in Europe), which managed to pack a short into FMV for each opponent, and on the SNES even shorter death FMVs for each opponent as well as a a Game Over FMV. Granted, these were a tiny fraction of the full FMVs from the CD versions of the game.

you can get the win95 version and it will run on XP. No promises for other OS. Also, this is one of my favorite rundgren albums. The interactive version is weird but an interesting concept, worth looking up interviews about why he made it.

>>10810334
this and many other anons ITT clearly don't understand CD-i, which isn't surprising given it so often gets listed and discussed as a video game console. CD-i wasn't supposed to be a single console or hardware, but rather a new form of CD. You remember how CD used Redbook audio? Well Sony and Philips (who created Redbook) saw opportunities in making CDs that could hold data and be interactive. They made Greenbook which was the basis for CD-i. The expectation was to be another kind of CD, like karaoke CDs (CD+G) or Video CDs. The whole basis was that you could put a CD into a machine and have some form of advanced interaction with it. No World Order >>10810324 is a perfect example. If you play the CD on a regular CD player, it plays the normal album. If you play it on a CD-i player, however, then you can use the extra features to interact, in this case, to customize how the music plays. That was the basic idea for all of CD-i.

Why are there a number of games on CD-i? Well, because at first most development was for educational software, or encyclopedias/references, or for toys and utilities like >>10810204 and >>10810208. But since it could support games (as anything interactive can), it became a place to put games as well. Development happened because they figured they could make money. Philips embraced it later when they saw they weren't doing well with the format. The reality is greenbook was stunted from the start, and computers started coming around very quickly as far superior interactive formats. If that wasn't enough, you could still get laserdiscs for interactive media, and consumers weren't necessarily interested in buying another CD player (especially once that cost more).

It's 1 and 2 remade in the new engine introduced for the PS2 version of 3. It looks and feels like 3 and 4 as a result. It's the definitive version of 1 and 2, much more so than 1+2 from 2015 or whenever. Though if you're a strict fundamentalist, you'll be bothered by the revert mechanic from 3 being backported into 1 and 2 which makes the high scores a lot easier.

>When did the rumor about this being a cancelled Yoshi game appear and is there any truth to it?
Shiggy wanted Dylan to make a Yoshi prototype in 3D for him to use the license. When he did and showed shiggy, shiggy said he will get back to him for the answer to whether it’ll pass or not. He then made SM64 and in the meantime Dylan got a no from shiggy and was working on croc. Shiggy released SM64 and told Dylan thank you for his help in advancing his knowledge in 3d with a shit eating grin. Dylan is probably going to deny this but he knows what happened and he was pretty bitter about it, not anymore though. He’s done this same shit to other devs like Retro when they had their original ip with the 3 chicks and made them go to the drawing board multiple times until at the end Shiggy just told them to trash everything and use the blond heroine as Samus and make it a Metroid game. There’s some obscure stuff he did with rare too that isn’t the memes you here about him hating DKC or anything like that.

It’s less of a miyamoto thing and more of a passive aggressive Japanese thing that’s common in their culture. Shiggy isn’t a bad person, he just is saving his own ass and the company's bottom line, even if it means pissing other people off. Imo, Kensuke Tanabe has done much worse (bankrupted Skip & Vanpool, led Alphadream to their demise on top of their own fuckups, caused NLG to have a empty bank account and make them go on the verge of bankruptcy only for the big N to buy them up solely because they have more confidential material that they don’t want a competitor to have, and pissed off a good number of many former and some current retro employees the past 2 decades because he’s their producer/liaison to Japan)

I don’t care about croc, I just saw anon’s post on the page and I wanted to quick reply. All of what I said was true, I’m sorry if you’re upset but that’s not my problem. Almost every company has done some questionable stuff to its developers and other companies, Nintendo isn’t immune to this. And in no way did I depict shiggy as a bad person, in the end you’d cover your own ass too if it meant your livelihood and company’s pockets having a hole poked into it.

We could’ve talk about how Sega fucked over the Takahashi brothers after the last rpg they made, how Squenix fucked over taito employees after acquiring them, how namco ignored Iwatani for years before crawling back to him, how capcom is butthurt over Okamoto for basically using their own niche ip to be the richest ex-wagie turned entrepreneur, and how Sony basically took one huge dump on their Japanese dev team before firing them but hey, the topic of this is croc, not those companies. When the time comes, I’ll drop by and talk about those in a separate thread if ever asked.

>All of what I said was true
You're portraying it as if Miyamoto was setting out to fuck over Argonaut and steal their idea. Nintendo was always going to make a 3D Mario platformer and it was in the works long before any talks with Argonaut. It's just weird that this story is always told framing it as if Nintendo is the bad guy punching down at the little guy and that's the real reason Croc wasn't as successful as SM64. According to all accounts, they did nothing wrong here. They discussed the possibility of Argonaut developing a game using their character, they considered it, and ultimately decided not to. That's it.

Technically yes since it was revealed that one of the actors lied about her age and was actually underage at the time the footage of her was shot.

Although it was total bullshit that she claimed she had no idea the topless videos of her were going to appear in the game and promotional materials. Bitch, you intentionally lied about your age to get into an adult-only shooting where you were told to take your top off in front of cameras, what the fuck did you think that was going to be used for? She even tried to claim the studio should have realized she was lying about her age.

>The trial and appeal did not resolve the question as to whether Topheavy had produced child pornography in violation of obscenity laws under the Texas Penal Code; the Court of Appeal held the injunction was not necessarily issued on this basis and therefore the injunction was not confined to that jurisdiction.

But yes, I can see why everyone would want to err on the side of caution in regards to something like that. It was a shitty "game" even before the lawsuit anyway, just download porn if you want to see boobs, why could you play a shitty game on a console for it?
