Best behind the scenes stories.

I can't quite remember the name of the game, but a Sega composer wanted rapping on his game's soundtrack. So, he asked an intern to stand outside the building and bring the first black guy to walk past into the studio. I'm sure someone here knows which game this is.

How did they get away with these "2 Player" games?
How is this really different than a 1 player game and passing the controller?

If you’re a kid at home with a console and your sibling, and you want to play something together, a game with the illusion of multiplayer is better than a game with no sense of multiplayer at all.

Thanks anon(s), this game hasn't interested me before because I heard it's mediocre, but this inspired me to download it. I do like the backgrounds, the translation is pretty lolworthy though and the timing based battles are surprisingly hard to pull off (either I suck, or there's input lag caused either by emulation or the hardware I'm using).

I've heard it's like 50 hours long though so I'll probably put this on the backburner until I clear out some of the longer games from my backlog. Thanks again anon.

My mom never played video games but for some reason got addicted to Adventures of Lolo, to the point where one night she wouldn't stop playing and make dinner so I walked over to the NES and turned it off and she started yelling at me. I remember reading about the sequel in Nintendo Power and thinking to myself "she can never know about this" and throwing away the issue in case she looked at it.

True. I do appreciate the simplicity of the controller for jettisoning all of the bullshit and sticking to what was needed at the time. I mean normal Saturn games sure as fuck don't use all six buttons. But regardless yeah any of those things really would have helped make the controller a lot better

Sega tends to release custom sticks with games. Look at Virtua On with its twin sticks. I would imagine if DC lasted another 2 to 3 years then we would have gotten a new controller for fps games.

A Dreamcast controller S would have been sweet. Could have moved the cable out of the bottom too. Or at least make the cable longer to compensate. I mean we got to the moon in 69, I'm sure they could have figured out how to get the cable pointing up

I just played the Game Gear version of Streets of Rage 2, and found that they added in what's clearly The Predator as a boss fight in the third level. The game is otherwise faithful outside of shit that had to be removed for the game to fit onto a GG cart.
What are some other oddities snuck into ports of games, /vr/?

because the N64 is an autist (and transsexual) factory. Is it better than the SNES based on that factor alone? you decide.

This is easily the best GBA game.

What game is your holy grail -- the one you want more than any other game? Perhaps it eludes you because of price or scarcity.

Mine is probably picrel w/ manual (don't care about the box). It's the main thing stopping me from having a complete Virtual Boy collection. Another one is Panzer Dragoon Saga, but I'll probably pic that up before the end of the year.

Dude, get your hands on those. Not just because they're really frigging cool (and you'd need the server software to even use them as originally intended), but they're worth a ton on the secondary market because of how few of those machines were ever made. When I got to play Red Planet in the 90s, there were only about 30 pods in the entire US. There are still less than 100 that were ever made.
