>>1076424 Why's the Sega CD so high?

>>1076378 S-tier consoles would be PS1, PS2, PSP and Nintendo Switch for me. Namely for the sheer amount of various third-parties.

>>1076378 The PS Vita and the DS lite are the only ones I'd for sure put in there. A lot of consoles are high tier but S-tier is something special.

>>1076378 Vita for everything, PS2 for library. A solid argument could be made that few genres and a ton of series peaked on the PS2. PSP, DS, and the Dreamcast are pretty cool too.

>>1076363 Speaking of Green Reimu: Not-Green Reimu actually has an official appearance in a PS2 game because ZUN had a day job in the video game industry back then.

>>1076434 If I were try to make a console tier list, it would be based largely on library. I'll try. Within a particular tier, I'll list them by release date, because sorting them more particularly is hard. <S >NES, SNES, PS1, PS2 Greatest of all time, certainly of their respective generations. <A >Genesis, N64, Gamecube Not the best of their generations, but still really awesome and have tons of great games. <B >PS3, Switch Pretty good at the end of the day. Best of their generations, but their generations sucked. <C >Dreamcast, Xbox Best versions of multiplatform games during their generations. Yes, people say that technically Dreamcast is the same gen as Xbox, but that's bullshit. It's closer to being the same generation as Saturn. Also, they have some great exclusives (or at least exclusives at the time), though less than the really great consoles. <D >TG-16, Saturn, Wii Some awesome if niche libraries. But there are some things here I gotta admit are must plays. And yes, I know Wii sold absurd numbers, but I think a lot of people here ignore it as the wagglan casual console. And they're largely right to do that. But there are a few excellent exclusives that either use the wagglan well, or are just great regardless. But in the end, I'd say the number of great games is about the same as TG-16 or Saturn. <F >everything I didn't list except for handhelds and pre-NES consoles Handhelds are kind of hard. They kind of belong in their own list. Vita 4 life, though, baby. Gravity Rush alone makes it awesome. Pre-NES is kind of a whole different thing. I don't feel right saying the Atari sucked, but I also don't feel like there are any Atari games I get into as much as NES and later. I'll get super into Zelda I and II, as much as any modern game. Can't say the same for Adventure or Pitfall or Raiders of the Lost Ark. And I've barely ever played Colecovision or Intellivision, and from what I've seen of their games, I can't judge if they're better or worse than Atari. I assume Atari is better just due to a much larger library since it lasted much longer and must therefore have more games worth playing.

Hey anons, gimme your obscure PS2 reccs!

>mods spoilered the APNG Aww c'mon, have some fun. It's not even that explicit

>>1076749 I'm pretty sure I saw some vag

>>1076712 Boku no Natsumi 2 recently got an English translation

>>1076765 Oh neat. Speaking of, I kinda wish the Fist of the North Star PSX game got a translation.

>>1076765 >Boku no Natsumi

>>1076712 Hidden Gem you say? Death by Degrees

>>1076927 Anyone have the picture of him with the over exaggerated sad eyes?

>>1076927 Who?

>>1076765 *Boku no Natsuyasumi 2 And the English patch only applies to the PS2 version iirc, which doesn't have the extra content (characters and events) that later appeared on the PSP port. There is a good chunk of Japanese PS2 games that were later ported on PSP (Vita only had Amagami and EDF2 as far as I remember), often filled with new stuff and QoL features.

>>1077072 Correcting myself on the Vita part, because I somehow forgot Final Fantasy 10, MGS2&3 and Persona 4.

>>1076378 pretty bird

>>1076712 I'm not sure how obscure they are but I like them a lot and I don't see people talk about them.

>>1076712 Warship Gunner 1 and 2

>>1077255 Excellent choice anon, that is also my pick. Shame the vita game never got a western release.

>>1076712 Rise to Honor is a fun game. Got some issues but its got unique controls and is a solid enough game.

>>1077274 Shame we never got a TL for the PSP version of 2 either, it adds a bunch of cool stuff and also through emulation you can have it run without any slowdown and without any technical issues (unlike PS2 which will have boats start doing drifts once you crank the OC high enough to get stable framerates)

>>1076374 >meaningful jump in tech If we're gonna be exact technology has continued to progress from a purely technological standpoint, but regressed with no survivors from a cultural one. It's bizarre to think we live in a time where Star Trek-tier voice recognition and AI capable of holding actual conversation exists, but the only "progress" video games see is in the form of janky mods and hyper-autistic emulators trying to emulate and occasionally improve upon 20+ year old games. >>1076378 Excellent bait friend. >Burgundian system <Game.com >SS <Dreamcast, Saturn, Vita, PSX >S <PS2, SFC, MD, PSP >A <PC Engine, FC, GBA, DS >B <Gamecube, Xbox, PC Engine Super CD-ROM >C <3DS, Wii, Switch, PS3 >D <N64, 360, Mega CD >F <PS4/5, Xbone+ >lol <N-Gage, Pippin, Amiga CD32, Jaguar (CD), 3DO, CD-i, Atari 5200 >not even trying <Stadia, Ouya >wuld have saved gayman if not for da joos <Amico >It was a different time <Atari 2600, Vectrex, Intellivision, Odyssey (2), Colecovision, Channel F >real gayman has never been tried <Anything by VTech

>>1076385 >GBA what games did it even have that were good? I had an SP back in the day, I remember owning it and playing it, but I cannot recall a single game I cared for aside from LeafGreen. >I found out you can burn discs easily You can, but on some games that requires compression (typically audio) since the GD is 1 GB as opposed to the ~700 MB CD, and I've heard it wears out the laser like crazy, since it has to read the compressed CD differently than the GD. At this point though, hardware is going to start failing anyway, so just be prepared to get a replacement or GDEMU at some point. >>1076708 >Dreamcast >C oh fuck right off with that. A home console doing arcade-perfect at home for the first time was amazing, and the library captured that "arcade-fun" feeling throughout. I feel as though the Dreamcast was one of - if not the - last consoles to really feel like it had an identity.

>>1077390 >>1076417 forgot to reply, derp

>>1077390 >Aria of Sorrow >Metroid Zero Mission >Advance Wars >Megaman Zero >Golden Sun I could be here for a week with obscure and Japanese nichr games.

I remember playing the shit out of SSX on the demo disc when I first got it for Christmas https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=zBRTrdm_Q1c

>>1077390 To avoid repeating the other anon's list: >Fire Emblem >Yggdra Union >PMD Rescue Team (even if Explorers is better in every way) >Shaman King: Master of Spirits >Riviera: The Promised Land >SRW >Ace Attorney 1, 2 and 3 >Boktai 1 and 2 >Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap >Final Fantasy Tactics Advance >Klonoa >Megaman Battle Network >Mother 3 >Sonic Advance >Drill Dozer

Is this list still relevant?

>>1077493 Very much so

>>1077493 A handful of those pick are questionable but overall it's a good list

Read the list in order and wait till the end to open the image or I WILL corrupt the save files on your memory card. 10. Sly Cooper Trilogy 9. Guilty Gear XXAC 8. God Hand 7. Devil May Cry 3 6. Okami 5. GTA Trilogy 4. Dragon Quest VIII 3. Metal Gear Solid 2&3 2. Ace Combat Trilogy 1. Steambot Chronicles (You may open the image now)

>>1077527 >I WILL corrupt the save files on your memory card >not just mailing a demo disc of Viewtiful Joe 2

>>1077527 >War of the Monsters >Twisted Metal Black & Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition >Soul Calibur II and III (because Heihachi was more fun to play as than Link and Spawn, and SCIII has super cool single player modes) >Jak series >GTA series (because fuck you, they were originally PS2 exclusives) >Sly series >Ratchet series >Ape Escape series Honestly these are the only PS2 exclusives/semi-exclusives I really care about. Though I love plenty of other multiplatform games on the system.
