This time I can finally do those things. If not, guess we can just say taking a step is better than standing on the same tile of the floor.

+1 my brother in christ ♥.

Another 81.
2 games already in and I'm starting off with an 8 this year, XD.

No. The whole article just reads like someone wanting to stir a pot for the sake of it.There's almost no substance to this guy's "argument" beyond Yoshida saying it

YES!!100% what Roden said
this quote is entirely being taken out of context here, and you should actually read the original interview and what he's saying there:

Please read from trusted sources next time. They've been pulling apart things Yoshi-P has been saying, since development on FF16 began. Every other gaming news site is preying on you, to react this way for engagement.

Please stop falling for it.

I don't normally post here, but I thought I'd share my thoughts. The 3DS and Wii U stores are closing so I'm grabbing what I can before the stores close on March 27. I'm currently playing through Wario Land, on the 3DS. I never really noticed it before, but I really like the pickup-and-play feature Nintendo added to the virtual console releases? So you can pick up exactly where you left off, without having to power off the system - turn the system back on, load your save file and pick up where you left off; it's kind of changed the way I look at, and play these games now.

Like, I own some of these games already in some form, NES, GameBoy, Super Nintendo, etc but, what's neat about having them all on the 3DS's virtual console is that you can quickly jump back and forth from playing something like Super Mario Bros. to Mario 3, to Mario Land, to Mario World, to Super Mario Land 2, to Wario Land, to Wario Land 3 -- and by doing this, you start noticing the wild creative directions and decisions they started taking, when making each entry?

Like, my favorite part about Super Mario World, was always using the keys to unlock alternative paths or hidden worlds to get to the end of the game - I wish they had made a proper sequel to that, where they took that concept and turned that into it's own game. 2 years later, they release Mario Land 2, which is sort of a combination of the powerups in Mario 3, but also the frantic bonus stages and money/1up collecting of Mario Land 1 -- but then 2 years after that, they release Wario Land, which ultimately feels like a evolution to the key level stuff found in Mario World and a sequel to the money and powerup stuff explored in Mario Land 2.

Like, in Wario Land, you have the same powerups from Mario Land 2, but they've been slightly altered so you can move around horizontally instead of vertically? and instead of just getting to the end of the level, there's this much larger leisure focus on exploration and money and treasure gathering -- I never really noticed this as a kid, cause I never had an opportunity to play theses games all at once, back to back, like this. It's just a really neat feature and I kind of wonder what other games would benefit from this pickup and play savestate stuff.

Just to clarify, this is not the same as savestates. Savestates have been around since the 2000s, they're nothing really new. But what's more interesting is this quicksave/continue feature. They've explored this, in JRPGs through quicksave/continue features in the late 90s but also in games like Silent Hill where, as soon as you turned the system on, the game would bypass everything and load your save for you, so you can immediately pick up where you left off - no company logos, no titlescreens, no intro FMVs, just the game, immediately where you left off.

I wish more games had this, but I also wish it was more like what they had on the Wii U/3DS? Nowadays, there is this ritual to just turning the game on and having to wait for everything load which is what turned me off to the PS3 and great games like LittleBigPlanet, because you're spending a lot of time just waiting for everything to load.

I dunno, there's just something really interesting about being able to play a game exactly where you left off, then stop, and immediately continue an entirely different game, get a bit further, stop, and then go back to the one you were originally playing - It's a really cool feature that I wish was explored more and I think it's what I'm going to miss the most about the 3DS's virtual console.

Just small update, was anyone able to find BlueMarble? I'm gonna add it to the recent request list.

I also wanna point this out cause I feel like it's important: looking stuff up on google now has vastly changed from when I re-hauled this thread back in 2017? - Maybe I'm just getting old, but it seems to be incredibly difficult to find stuff now on google. And I'm not quite sure what to do about it?

A couple of years ago, it use to be very easy to do searches on filenames, to the point where you would eventually be able to find what you were looking for even if it lead to a dead link.

But now, it doesn't seem to do that, it just sends you back the most popular results and omits the ones that would lead to dead links.

I'm just wondering if anyone else notices this and if there's a better search engine out there, that'd work like how google use to work back in 2017? - I remember finding really good midi files for shiren the wanderer by entering kanji characters into google. or like typing in "RPGツクール final fantasy" and doing an image search would pull up a list of really cool japanese final fantasy fan games - but now when you do that, you have to sort through links from pinterest, etc.

Does anyone else notice this? Is there a solution?

EDIT: I want to thank krum again for their thorough work here. I'm only coming across this stuff now cause 2021-2022 was kind of an awful year. I kind of want to add a PSX section to the list, but it might take some time.

wicked that you found this though.♥

Thanks again as always krum.

EDIT2: just re-reading the post, so Games.7z and Demos.7z are memory card files for PS1 rpgmaker games?
