Ik just let it die anon I’ll try again later

>mfw this still isn't on NSO

>niche as fuck bargain bin RARE AS HELL western 'game' on the n64
>an entire thing in Japan
This is always weird to me. Like, why even bother?

>>725518702
Isn't the game stuck between like three different companies? One of those companies doesn't even exist anymore

>>725518781
shake shake never gets old

some zoomer recently discover this game?

>>725518895
Enix published it which is now SE unfortunately so I think they're the only hold up. Other Treasure games are on NSO like RS because they published them too.

>>725519498
Didn't Nintendo publish it in the EU/NA? Im pretty sure their name shows when you start the game.

>>725520492
I think you're correct. Enix was in JP. Maybe that's still enough to complicate things, plus reviewers were stupidly harsh on the game at the time.

>>725516247 (OP)
Treasure are based as fuck but I never got the appeal of this game. The gameplay is too schizo.

>>725522337
it's just a score attack game with a 90s anime artstyle. Being a 2d game on N64 is super rare so it stuck out heavily

Sucks that treasure did not carry the tradition of porting over Seven Force. Mischief Makers could've been peak for a third version of seven force one that's actually finished unlike Alien Soldier's

>>725516247 (OP)
General Treasure thread? Please?

>>725522681
Sure. Which one is your favorite. Mine goes to Wario World. I was a massive Wario kid and I never played a game that felt so strange but similar

>>725522671
There was a third version tho'

Also not sure if Radiant Silvergun's Saturn Mode-exclusive final boss rush counts

>>725522954
I grew up playing a ton of Wario World- I didn't learn about Treasure as a company until I found out McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure was a game. Then I saw everybody fawn over Mischief Makers, I still have yet to dive in and beat it. Currently playing through Bangai-O, it's a ton of fun. Curious about the rest of their library, their games all feel "crunchy" for lack of a better word. Not sure if it's the sound, the animation, or how responsive everything is.

Post your Mischief Makers copies

>>725522556
>Being a 2d game on N64 is super rare so it stuck out heavily
This is why reviewers were harsh imo, they were expecting 3D shit when it's really a 2D speedrunning side-scroller. Mastering the movement to get S ranks on all stages is the real game, plus getting all the gold gems.

HEY FELLAS

it would be nice to see her being relevant again
just for a moment

>>725516247 (OP)
What's up with all the faces? I never understood it, is it a Japanese thing or is it a Treasure thing?

>>725522954
guardian heroes

still in my top 3 favorite games of all time, then after that it's probably sin and punishment 2 and in third place ikaruga

>>725524024
she showed up in that smash 64 mod. It's not official of course, but it made her relevant, at least for a tiny bit

>>725524208
It's an alien planet. It's just how they do thing on planet Clancer. Please respect their culture.

>>725523435
I never played this one because I couldnt figure out if I wanted to play the dreamcast version or the n64 version. I can agree about the "crunchy" feeling. Gunstar heroes has it too and that game feels amazing to play

Any japanese speaking anons play this one? It's treasure's last made game and I think it could be fun

>>725524508
>this is their very last game
grim

>>725516247 (OP)
The music in this game was so fucking good. Right the fuck up there with Mystical Ninja and Snowboard kids 2

>>725523435
>their games all feel "crunchy" for lack of a better word. Not sure if it's the sound, the animation, or how responsive everything is.
it's insane how feedback/gamefeel is such an underappreciated aspect of games especially action focused ones since it's so important (I'd even say it's the absolute most important part, if your game feels like shit to play you can have the best gameplay ideas and encounters it'll be bad)

maybe because it's such a subjective thing it's hard to convey in a review and has to be experienced by the player himself

>>725516247 (OP)
I miss treasure so much, bros.

>>725524420
I've been going with the N64 version. I've got a flashcart, but you can fire it up on browser. Plays very well with twin keyboard controls
>map the D-pad to WASD
>L and R to QE
>C-buttons to numpad
>A, B, and Start to numpad enter, decimal, and 0
It doesn't require you know Japanese, but you're missing out on the story. Dreamcast had a bad translation, but apparently that's normal for some Treasure games.

All you need to know is that you can switch between the two leads with L and there's a special attack you can perform with R. It gets stronger the closer enemy bullets are to you, also there's a portal that appears when you make a ton of explosions appear. That's how you upgrade your shot strength.

>>725524746
Yeah, I was never able to get into certain games because the actual game feel is incongruous with what they want me to feel. But cheap tricks like sparkly sound effects and strong animation are easy ways to convey that to a player even if it isn't what's actually happening mechanically.

>>725525050
They still exist apparently.

>>725525536
I know... but what was their last good game? Sin and punishment on the wii?

>>725525536
by name only, they have no development ability anymore

>>725516247 (OP)
What is a Clancer?

>>725522954
For me it's a tie between Alien Soldier and Radiant Silvergun. Alien Soldier is probably better but I played Radiant Silvergun a lot more.

>>725524208
They are based on Haniwa, which show up in a lot of Japanese media. They're statues found buried in ancient Japanese tombs. Gyroids from Animal Crossing are another thing based on them

>>725525050
Same anon...same
>>725525536
They haven't made a game in nearly 12 years.
They claim to be working on something but that was nearly four years ago.
>>725525647
I wish Nintendo would acquire them

>>725524208
It's an alien planet where everything has a face. The game explains this.

>>725518702
The Professor is too problematic, sry

>>725526071
>I wish Nintendo would acquire them
what would be the point

as I said they have no development team anymore, it's basically just one guy porting their catalog to every platform, all the former devs left and when you look at some the games they worked on it's pretty depressing (I bought code of princess thinking it'd be guardian heroes 2, I still enjoyed it because of nostalgia but it was objectively garbage)

>>725524360
>>725525930
>>725526084
The more you know

>>725526726
nothing in video games made me feel worse than ruining the dodgeball match by just crossing to her side and beating the shit out of her until she cried.

>>725526494
>as I said they have no development team anymore
So do you think they're lying/coping when they say they're working on something? I get they're basically a zombie company now but I guess the nostalgia/copium in me hopes they still have something left in them, and maybe a long-shot acquisition could be a shot in the arm.

For me, it's the younger human version of marina

>>725526494
IIRC a lot of them are at M2 now which isn't too bad, Hiroshi Iuchi is there trying to get Ubusuna off the ground and a lot of others I think

>>725527126
>So do you think they're lying/coping when they say they're working on something?
maybe they were only talking about re-releasing one of their old titles, who knows

I highly doubt they're working on a brand new project

shake

shake

opinion on their GBA games? astro boy is one of their best games I think, gunstar heroes isn't that bad and guardian heroes is a big letdown

>>725524208
They're loosely based on Haniwa, but I guess it was to give the planet Marina was on an identity as an alien planet. Also to cleverly signify the game gimmick, if it's life (has the face), you can grab and shake it.

Also this is probably an unintentional jab at Nintendo, but doesn't this game play havoc with Emulators? I remember the transitions being broken as shit no matter what I did so maybe Nintendo also had the problem since the NSO games are also emulated.

>>725529779
Worked for me
And i used project64 back then

>>725529779
I've never had an issue.

Was the drawing on the bottom left necessary?

>>725529989
Very much so, yes

>>725529989
Probably because the Professor does his gropey gropey Master Roshi thing from behind and I would imagine earlier on the intended to play more on that.

>>725529271
>>725529380

>>725529779
I do remember minor visual bugs on PJ64
>black confetti in the olympics scenes
>invisible boulder in that one Indiana Jones level
but this was 2008 and your options are a lot better now

Anyones going to play her game?

>>725531636
Never heard of it. Is it just a shameless rip-off?

>>725531717
It's a combination of multiple games.
Klonoa, tomba and mischief makers

>>725531823
Pass. Cute promo art tho.

>>725524208
I like how even ng4 has these faces

>>725531636
when

>>725516247 (OP)
shake it!

sex with robots

Bump, I'm on level 25 of Bangai-O. The level where you have to break through ten layers of robot and block spawners was fun.

>>725531636
Only thing I know of this is that the creator claimed the mc was a lesbian who doesn’t like guys in order to dissuade porn being made of her

>>725540282
>Only thing I know of this is that the creator claimed the mc was a lesbian who doesn’t like guys in order to dissuade porn being made of her
That's too dumb to be probable. I'm going to assume the actual intent was to encourage porn.

>>725540282
is he stupid?
