DS #3377: Retro Game Challenge (USA)

[m3rox]

Wait, how the hell do you save in this game?

The "quit" option will ask you if you want to save, then if you want to continue playing, iirc.

That's kinda stupid, why can't they just have a "Save" option in the menu? Makes things easier

Is this your very first video game?

 

[El-ahrairah]

Hot damn! It's finally here!

 

[science]

Why is everyone creaming their pants over this? What is it?

 

[Hachibei]

This game OWNS! I finally understand that saying, "They just don't make them like they used to."

 

[omatic]

It's a pant-moisturizer, actually.

In reality, it's a collection of NES-archetype game parodies. There's a shoot-em-up parody, an RPG parody, a racing parody, and etc. It's pretty sweet if you're old enough to appreciate it.

Third page and no one complaining about piracy checks yet? Yay, sounds like this one's clean. Gonna pass it to my SD when DQV comes out.
Ah oh yeah, Guardia Quest! Looking forward to that.

I use real time save. Yay Cyclo.

Kinda off-topic: Just wondering, is there any way to disable the real time save in the Cyclo DS? I'm not talking about "just don't use it", I'm talking about not being able to use it at all if I choose so. I'm thinking of getting one, but I really don't want the savestates thing.

I have a Supercard DS-One with savestates and don't use them. Why would you want to disable them if you can just choose not to use them?

I think to activate RTS mode in the Cyclo, you must hold down Select before you load up a game and keep holding it until you see a message that says "RTS Initialize". As long as you don' hold select before you load up the game, the RTS option wont appear and you'll be safe.

hmm...mine is 256Mbit instead of the reported Archive size: 512Mbit

 

[Anakir]

I'm gonna give it a try just to see what the hype's about. I'm probably not gonna play it much knowing myself. I'm not into old-school gaming.

 

[morphius]

"there is nothing coming on the screen"....
"you have to blow on the game when this happens"

bwahahaha thats the BEST!

 

[Chanser]

Just saw the trailer for Retro Game Challenge 2, looks good.

Your correct, never take the nfo at face value.

hahaha......funny translations...this game makes me laugh

"You shooted 42 asteroids"

 

[sweenish]

The scenes are completely different as to how easy it is to get supplied. NDS games they rarely ever get shipped early (unlike films/music, not sure why you think apps are ever early), so the only way to get them early is review copies. And if you expect people to risk dumping review copies for the masses of kids in todays 'scene' well guess again

you are about 100% wrong.

games go gold around a month before a game hits shelves. gtaIV and fallout3 are perfect examples of how just about every other scene is. i just grabbed lily allen's new album yesterday, but that torrent was available for a week. now it's not like it was sitting in some store for a week and an employee snuck it out.

the infiltration, for lack of a better word, is much deeper in the other scenes.

and apps do come out early. windows 7 beta?

and even without that level of infiltration, some ds games still take a couple days or a week AFTER release before they get dumped. in any other scene, that group would fail.

"You shooted 42 asteroids"

I think the bad English is on purpose to make the game more authentic.

 

[ZenZero]

dlin it now

 

[enarky]

Lili Allens Album? God, that's some baaad taste...

 

[fateastray]

LOL

"YOU SHOOTED 33 ASTEROIDS"

edit: aww mentioned already T_T

 

[BlueStar]

This was fun until I turned it off with out saving after doing so much shit.

Not happy.

Dude, it JUST appeared, you haven't had time to get anywhere.

Anyways, somebody please quickly undub this for chrissakes so that the embarrassing Star Wars text is thankfully masked by the unintelligible moonman lang. Name input fails and fails upon fails for not allowing pokery-tappery for letter-selection. I don't care if it's "retro", this is still 2009.

It's been online for an hour.

More then enough time to do the 1st and a bit of the second challange sets.

He does this every time a game's released and no matter how many people correct him he refuses to stop making an utter cretin of himself

He seems to think games get posted on GBATemp before they're dumped for some reason, and if his source doesn't have it, no one has it and is therefore lying if they talk about what they think of the game. So a game comes out, between 1 and 5 hours later it's posted on GBATemp, people talk about what it's like and GB comes along saying "LOL, it's not even out yet, wait for it to be made available before pretending you've already played it lol etc etc."

Anyway, really been looking forward to this one, hope it lives up to expectations.
