Retro games?

[Korly]

I don't see it that way. It's Gradius Gaiden, a game I didn't have the chance to play before. All that other stuff is irrelevant.

If I only eat the pepperonis on a pizza, that doesn't mean it's not a pizza.

Gah, I don't know why this is so difficult for you to grasp.

"Gah", I grasp what you're saying. You just aren't right.

You could say "yeah, I guess I am buying another retro game, but it's one I've never played before" and that would be fine. but you're saying "I never played one of those games on this collection of retro games, therefore it's not a collection" and that is a false statement.

"Gah".

I don't view it as a collection. If you do, that's your own perogative.

That said, R-Types was the last retro game I have bought and will be the last retro game I will buy for a long time.

What the fuck?

I've never played Kid Chameleon, but if I bought the upcoming Genesis collection to do so I'd still be playing a retro game on a collection of retro games. Whether or not you've played Gradius Gaiden before is what's irrelevant; it's still an old game.

As for the topic, I have the feeling that I'm going to start buying into retro games in a big way fairly soon. Video games suck now.

Not really, it came out in June of this year.

The compilation it's on came out in June. The game itself still came out in 1997. Whether anyone's played it before or not.

Unless GameFAQs is just confused. I've never played a Gradius game in my life, so I wouldn't personally have any idea when it came out. :x

You're going to play Gradius II, and you're going to like it.

Personnally I'm not buying into the coming Retro stuff. I mean, I love retro games and I play more retro games than current-gen games, that's a fact. But I do not like those crazy price tags. As Raystorm said, I do not mind to buy well done enhanced remakes, but I won't pay $5/$10 to download a rom on the Virtual Console when I can buy the real game for about the same price, or less.

I'll stick with MAME for my retro arcade needs. I don't buy retro stuff at all unless they are enhanced remakes like xbla

...

I'll buy enhanced remakes..for untouched retro games I'll stick with emulators.

IBTN. Doom XBLA for $10 was totally worth it because playing online co-op with TNL people (sup K3V and Korly) was an awesome experience. If the Virtual Console does not offer online co-op/vs with voice chat in its retro titles (Tetris Attack, it MUST be done), then I'd rather play those games on my Xbox.
