If Saturn was a 2D powerhouse why was the best 2D game of the gen on the '64?

But it's not.

Not even astronomically close. Treasure jumped the shark the moment they started trying to make games on the God-forsaken N64.

N64 2D is a blurry mess. Absolutely the worst at 2D. Mischief Makers may have actually looked good if it was on a decent system.

Aus-kun on another schizophrenic falseflagging spree.

N64 chads don't care about 2D because we've got actual 3D games.

I found this game really hard, getting behind crowds of enemies to shoot them could be difficult

Idk, yeah but then the optimal strategy is holding up your shield from a corner which sucks

Here's the actual best 2D game of 5th gen.

Let's see the ShovelwareStation or the Sega Shiturn manage to run this game with all the bullets and other crazy shit going on.

your tactics are always low IQ, but you did post a good game!

Saturn was already slowly dying in 1997. Nintendo 64 was still rising in sales.

>> No.9942112

Mischief Makers is a very fun and clever game but it's blursville. Really think it could have been an even stronger game on another system.

Looks fine on my CRT at 240p, also, it's cool that it's cart-based game. Since a lot of the game's challenge is collecting the gems and/or getting A/S ranks, you'll be restarting levels a lot. Restarting a level in this game is instantaneous, on a CD-based system it'd be a bit annoying.
I'd also say, the control scheme on MM wouldn't work on just 4 face buttons like on PS, and in the case of dualshock, it'd be clunky to use the analog sticks to dash (double tapping, etc). Saturn could work since it does have 6 face buttons, but really the game was clearly designed around the N64's C-buttons that practically act as a secondary d-pad.

n64 was more powerful than saturn

>> No.9942195

>>9942152
Yes, obviously. The N64 was built around being able to play Mario 64. PS1 and Saturn came out 2 years earlier and they obviously weren't built around being able to do something like that.

>> No.9942196

>>9942152
Yet Saturn games often ran at higher frame rates, curious...

The Saturn had better ram, the vdp1 that was better at drawing sprites than psx or n64, and the vdp2 that made backgrounds in 2D games look more impressive than any game made for psx or n64.
