/vr/ - Retro Games

I am okay with this. Because there are literally thousands of games out there ready to play right now, so I'm not gonna spaz out over the small handful of games which I can't play.

i don't care

>I'm on /vr/ and I don't care about retro games

>>5171229
where did i say that? i just don't care about some games which no one knows anything about (and probably suck shit) not being dumped

>>5171229
At least he's honest. For as much as people bitch about things not being dumped, most new dumps of things seem to be met with little fanfare, and things much more interesting than that retail revision of some pachinko game that seemed to get people's panties in a wad a little while back.

Pokémon Spaceworld demos.
I know lots of people would spend a pretty penny on OoT64DD as well.

>>5171347
The attention the Pokemon games got were an anomaly, in part because of le epic tumblr and twitter memes. Stuff is released all the time to very little acknowledgement.

>>5171357
So? People should preserve games because it's the right thing to do, not because they want internet fame.

>>5171360
Oh, I don't disagree about the significance of preserving whatever possible. I just think that if people truly care and are unable to help preserve things themselves, they should consider positively encouraging those in positions to do so, instead of just screeching at them and then doing nothing when they do actually get what they want.

>>5171360
I mean what would you have us do? They're someone's private property, so ultimately the only things we can do is either REEE about it or break into their homes and steal it. The former is pointless, and the latter is illegal, so the best option is to not care.

>>5171357
stuff that nobody cares about is released all the time*
I understand the importance of preservation as well as any /vr/ poster should, but you're kidding yourself if you think people care about obscure demos.

that's far different from nobody caring about 64DD titles, which is probably the holy grail of unreleased vidya.

>>5171378
>so the best option is to not care
that's quite defeatist.
the best option is money. making them outrageous offers for unique items.

>>5171378
>try to buy it from them outright
>donate money to have it released
>create an environment that encourages people to release things
>>5171379
People sure seemed to shit themselves over byuu having an undumped pachinko revision and that Swedish Tintin translation.

>>5171378
Hoarders aren't people. It's not stealing.

>>5171229
I care about retro games, but that doesn't mean I care about every single retro game ever made, and that counts doubly for incomplete titles. Maybe I would care more if any of them seemed particularly interesting. It looks like most of the interesting ones were later released as N64 or Gamecube games.

>>5171391
define people. because I'm sure you're talking about a relatively small circle of hoarders itching for another green mark in their rom manager.
stuff like that isn't make any news in the gaming community at large.

the spaceworld demos weren't "anomalies". it's popular stuff that's gonna get people stirred.

>the many OoT versions don't seem interesting
>Ura Zelda doesn't seem interesting
>RE3.5 doesn't seem interesting

>>5171391
>People sure seemed to shit themselves over byuu having an undumped pachinko revision and that Swedish Tintin translation.
Well he's got me pissed, I played Tintin in Swedish as a kid and never got to replay it.

>>5171404
Did people get stirred when three different prototypes of the original Resident Evil leaked? That's an extremely popular game.

YAY! Another thread of people whining on the internet about things they will never personally make any effort to change!

>>5171213
unless we already know about them it doesn't really matter
some dumped betas will never be shared however

>>5171486
I think the GBC one did. 1.5 has always been the black sheep, even among fans.

also, to be fair, Nintendo stuff has a lot more impact than any other company.

>>5171213
>who will never dump them

Thats okay. Theese are just nitendo games.

Bump for more arguing.

>>5171213
The vast majority are on NOJ's aging hard drives, not in the hands of collectors.
>>5171347
>OoT64DD
It's this meme where we pretend it was anything more than MQ because of some statements Miyamoto made about ideas that never went past the planning board, woopdie.

>>5171895
That's even worse.

>>5171347
You can play oot 64 DD right now anon. It’s called master quest.

>he actually ate up Nintendo's advertising campaign bullshit

wew

Hey guys...

>>5173664
Someone post the image of one of his women contributors pretending she was going to bite it

>>5171408
The thing is that even though these would be cool as complete games they don't exist as complete games. There are probably some assets, but there is nothing to suggest that any of these games existed in a form that is actually playable, or even had any gameplay implemented. Its fun to imagine what they might have been like, but I'm not going to act like Super Mario 64 2 is floating around in a semi-completed state somewhere just waiting for someone to find and dump it.

>>5173783
That's right, goyim. Give up hope. It's not like these games are jut rotting in some manchild hoarder's basement.

Earthbound 64 is the only one that matters

>>5173787
They aren't dude. This reminds me of being a kid and talking to my friends on the playground, imagining what new pokemon would be like. Its all just wishful thinking that we are pulling out of our collective asses because we like the idea of there being fun undiscovered games out there. There isn't a chance in hell that a fatass American weeb has le epic secret bideo games that he is stealing from us.

>>5173805
Either in a piss soaked basement in the US or buried under a mountain of trash in some jap hoarder's closet sized apartment.

>>5171213

They're all in moonrune, so no fucks given.

>>5173841
A chimpanzee could learn basic Japanese.

>>5173848
Show me that chinkpanzee. I want to see it!

>>5173865
マンガとゲームの翻訳を待ちたくなかったから日本語を勉強することにしました

>>5173808
No, some of them probably straight-up never existed at all.There is no documentation of most of these even getting as basic an alpha build as Mother 3 had.

>>5173805
To be fair, I'm an American neckbeard and I have a few unreleased games. Most are either unreleased Translations or shovelware, and the most interesting ones that aren't in those categories have already been dumped in some fashion or another. One of the builds is slightly different from the dumped one, though mine will be posted somewhere eventually.

>>5173980
What happens to those games when your rat trap burns down or Mum makes you get a job and throws them out? What about when you inevitably get piss or nacho cheese on them?

>>5173984
Then they'll be gone. I've released a number of things, including builds of popular games, so there's no reason to be hostile.

>>5173987
>I don't care if games are lost forever
>don't be hostile

>>5174002
Can you not read? I release lots of stuff. The physical items will one day be rendered inoperable. The EPROMs can be rewritten, but will probably one day fail completely, and the CD-Rs will one day rot away.

>>5171213
Sounds like you might be retarded. I'm not aware of any DD game "in the hands" of any collector that hasn't been dumped.
Protip: Dumped doesn't mean given to (You) for free
