NEC TG-16/TE/TurboDuo > Virtual Console TG/PCE Discussion
First time playing Rondo of Blood
MobiusStripTech:
I have been super excited to play Rondo of Blood on my Duo R, but while I wait I decided to play the Wii VC version. I have been playing everyday this weekend and have to say it's too bad they don't make games like this anymore. I was not disappointed and can't wait to play it on the real thing.
crazydean:
I have a friend who is mostly a modern computer gamer, and we were discussing modern vs old games. Basically, he was talking about how new games are so polished, which is why he isn't a fan of the older stuff. I was arguing that modern games feel too polished and have no charm. We had sort of a bug vs feature discussion.
PS. Rondo is great. I have never played the VC so idk if it is comparable to the real thing.
Necromancer:
You can't go wrong with Dracula X. Enjoy!
I disagree about polish. Today's AAA titles are usually well polished, sure, but the same can be said from AAA titles back in the day. Who's gonna seriously argue that Dracula X, Gate of Thunder, Yoshi's Island, etc. are unpolished? Conversely, who's gonna argue that every new game is perfect? There's plenty of games in every generation that would benefit from a little more time in the tumbler.
SignOfZeta:
OG games were *finished* when they shipped, and booted in a few seconds. That's a sort of "polish" you can't get from anything nowadays.
ChuChu Flamingo:
What I like about old games is that they experimented a lot and tried new things. Modern games feel like an extended movie at times and too much sequelitis. It also doesn't help modern gaming has stupid shit like day one patches, random updates, and headache inducing hand holding.
Additionally, I felt old games a lot of times tested your reflexes and game knowledge.Beating a game actually meant something, Nintendo hard shit aside.
