>According to Eurogamer’s Tom Phillips, the Nintendo Switch will have a Virtual Console for GameCube games. Phillips notes multiple sources, and that he is working on detailing its first games, which should be up later today.
I don't see how it'd work without the pressure sensitive triggers
Bentley Torres
that sounds fantastic love the gamecube but i dont like emulators for 3d games
Colton Gutierrez
>tfw I never played TTYD
Aiden Gray
It will probably have to utilize the pro controller :/
Elijah Wilson
REMEMBER! YOU CAN'T SPELL "SWITCH" WITHOUT "SHIT!"
SWITCH H I T
Ryder Myers
Sorry guys but Jap region only
Have some region lock instead
Julian Bell
why did they never introduce it on the Wii U when that was already capable of running GC games?
William Allen
Legion Rock?
Aaron Brown
But the switch is rumored by many sources to have no region lock
Ian Ward
have the triggers been confirmed to not be pressure-sensitive?
Alexander White
Cool for on the go emulation I guess.
Dolphin emulator is already great and still steadily improving with functioning online.
Robert Morgan
>paying for emulators ive had 60fps 4k f-zero gx since dolphin 4.0 and its almost time for dolphin SIX
Luke Long
Too good to be true, we're talking about Nintendo here
Jack Smith
>Rumored Wii U was rumored to be very powerful and be region free.
Brayden Hernandez
Sonyggers everyone! Enjoy!
Gabriel Scott
Because they wii u fucking died
Owen Carter
Nobody in his right mind would defend Nintendo tho considering how shitty they treat their consumers for the last 6 years
Logan Lee
>>paying $30 for games I already own and can purchase at any used game store for $10 at worst. amazing
Cameron Powell
The fuck is wrong with you?
Nolan Fisher
>implying I'm not a jaded Wii U owner Stop being a reactionary console warring retard. What are you? 12?
Aiden Morales
oh boy another super smash melee console!!!!!
Isaac King
oh boy
another halfassed virtual console
Brayden Cox
Do you also play your GCN on the bus?
Sebastian Edwards
It's true tho.
Carson Diaz
They themselves have expressed the wish for the removal of region lock
James Murphy
Have some custom firmware then assholes. You bring it all on yourself.
Jack Nguyen
>play f-zero gx on a bus thanks for the infinite motion sickness
Brayden Anderson
>your face when melee high(er) def with native online Might actually make me buy the wii (you)
Grayson Watson
It WILL be an emulator though.
Justin Reed
>expressed the wish No they haven't. All we've gotten is Iwata say "maybe they'll consider it" and that nigga is dead.
Jayden Reed
It better fucking have Skies of Arcadia Legends and the Baten Kaitos games.
But who am I kidding? This is Nintendo. Look at the previous VC on Wii and Wii U. It will just be fucking Mario and Zelda. None of the cool 3rd party games.
Andrew Phillips
No. Plus in the reveal you can see the triggers. They seems to have a short throw life the ps4 controller.
Adam Bell
Too bad gamecube has shit all for games. ...melee tho...
Carson Rogers
SDK usually don't have region lock
Nolan Rivera
Switch is truly the messiah of console gaming It's so funny how fucked xbitches and gaystationeers got these past generations. They'll never have anything worthwhile, but they'll still buy the next console because they don't want to admit it to themselves.
Kevin Johnson
Yeah, they said they were looking to remove it
Also, I doubt Iwata's policies did not affect the switch in any way
Aiden Rogers
So was the ps4.
Matthew Ramirez
>playing vidya outside
Dominic Myers
Wow. I can pay to play games for a console I already own, and could also emulate.
This is just the best news ever.
Chase Phillips
Dolphin can run games at full speed on a Tegra K1, which is multiple generations behind the Switch's newer Tegra.
We're going to be able to enhance resolution on this shit after some hackles.
Adam Wright
PS4 is region free though.
Joseph Robinson
Switch is actually shaping up to be a decent console and an amazing handheld. I will never forgive Nintendo for the attrocity that was WiiU though.
Hudson Peterson
There was a rumour after the reveal that the triggers were analog.
Jayden Perry
zero glitches? proof?
Ryan Lee
>being insecure Although to be honest I mostly use my handhelds at home.
Hudson Barnes
Can't run it with the vc in place they are against not including the vc that's why snes games are only on new 3ds
Levi Johnson
ITT dumb niggers who want to pay for the same games twice to run it at an inferior resolution to an emulator.
Jack Robinson
I might just buy this shit. Hopefully they have a galaxy sequal not long after launch
Luke Gomez
>playing on the buggiest emulator known to man
Pcfats are so cute
Jackson Young
K1 barely runs at 20FPS for GameCube games, P1 can do it however.
Nathan Torres
so will they have a better vc system nes looks like ass on wiiu vc
Christian Young
Hey atleast they tried, unlike the other companies which just made underpowered PCs not worth buying (and only holding the industry back)
Carson Moore
Have fun lugging your PC along with you on the subway
Christian Nguyen
(You)
Aiden Young
>not just playing it at 1080p with HD textures on Dolphin
Samuel Allen
Melee is the worst first party game on the gamecube
Nathaniel Young
Huh. If all of these these rumors we've been getring are true, Nintendo might actually do the impossible and make a good console. I'm waiting for the presentation in Janurary before I decide if I'm gonna buy one though.
Carter Perez
Keep that buyer's remorse disinfo comin'!
Robert Perry
>buyer's remorse >on an unreleased console ???
Owen Harris
It sure is.
Connor Watson
>Public transport
Xavier Butler
>emulation >paper mario on a PC
no thanks, never
Julian Nelson
Have fun with your PC on the bus!
Or during lunch break
Elijah Howard
Oh you're saying that your mommy still drives you to school? How lucky!
James Clark
>unavoidable stopping for a half-second during action while the program generates shaders Great emulation I love it when my F-Zero halts to mess with my inputs, 10/10 perfect
Samuel Ross
What games though?
Mario Sunshine is the only guarantee. Maybe Double Dash. Thousand Year Door almost certainly not day one because Nintendo. Same with F-Zero.
Wind Waker and Twilight Princess already got remakes. 4 Swords would not be possible due to the nature of the game.
So what? Mario Sunshine, Negroid Prime and Pikmin?
Adrian Lopez
So Switch is an overpowered PC that is pushing the industry forward?
Juan James
I haven't gotten Dolphin 5.0 but I hear it runs everything perfectly and better than the Wii/GCN in fact.
Angel Gonzalez
Nintendo can't do much about that
Easton Sullivan
TTYD 100%
Christian Thomas
maylay baybee
Carson Moore
>Charging inflated prices for roms from a crippled tiny vetted list of first party titles from a 15 year old console
>Replies riddled with shit like "g-gaming is s-saved!"
Jose Gray
It's a decently powered (and only) handheld in the market
Anthony Myers
me on the left
David Phillips
Forgot to mention they will literally never rerelease Melee because Nintendo resent that it still overshadows their latest efforts.
Anthony Howard
This kid is older than most of Sup Forums
Carter Sanders
>it still overshadows their latest efforts. >a bunch of autists = the whole Smash fanbase HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Hudson Evans
Nope. They won't ever fix this issue. If you download Ishiiruka you can have the game instead not render any of the objects while their shaders are compiled, which is preferable to stopping and won't mess up your timing, but still obviously undesirable.
Jack Butler
so, more rumors? is it the mobile version?
This is the first rumor I don't hype at, it sounds full of shit, hopefully they make more hd versions instead, they are half way done anyway.
Justin Jackson
handhelds are obsolete now thanks to mobiles and tablets being more powerful, having emulation, and offering more functionality outside of gaming.
Joshua Gonzalez
Can you blame them? Modern Nintendo games are shit so of course they would be excited for playing games that are actually good
Gabriel Bailey
How does a decently powered handheld push forward the market? Did the Vita do this? Did the Shield do this?
Connor Carter
>While the program generates shaders
>I-if I pretend to know computery words maybe people won't think I'm retarded!
Sebastian Rodriguez
Whatever. I already have a hacked Wii. Why would I pay for a Nintendo Shit?
Jackson King
You know Nintendo can't be pleased about shilling Sm4sh at tourneys and having to fight with a 15 year old game for air time, right?
Angel Barnes
Go to /emugen/ and ask about shader compilation stuttering.
Adam Hernandez
No, because if they tried, the games from them would be good. As it was, outsourced development to platinum and their western branch in Retro made the only good games for the console (W101, Tropical Freeze) the rest all feeble attempts at incorporating a second screen and the best thing people can say about those mediocre titles is "oh well they tried" which just further enables Nintendo to continue their mediocrity.
Nathan Walker
>Nintendo caring about tourneys AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Jason Nelson
That's more of legal shit than it is "Nintendo doesn't care."
It would cost more to be able to sell the game than they'd make back from the effort, especially with licensed games.
Camden Foster
>has to resort to backwards compat
literally no games the console
Michael Sullivan
Good conversation
Anthony Parker
Switch is something new, something innovative. Something that tried to be different and might have games that use this originality to their advantage. Same with the wii, same idea with the wiiu (though the games were lacking), same with the DS and its touchscreen.
They offer something that PC can not. PS and Xbox offer something that PC can offer in addition to a lot more.
Imagine if the exclusives were just released on PC as well as their respective consoles. >all xbox and ps games can be played just as well on the PC, some even better (playing FPS is on controllers is laughable, wiimotes and wiiu gamepad made them more viable though). Also graphics and mods. >nintendo games can't be played in the same way on PC because you can't get the hardware on a PC
This is why no matter how much Nintendo fucks up, they'll still be leagues above the other consoles.
Ryan Garcia
fuck, you're right
Jayden Johnson
...
Camden Bell
>m-m-m-muh thread stopped getting replies ;_;
kill yourself
Samuel Williams
Projecting this much
Ryan Gomez
Who the FUCK doesn't use the catalog in 2016
Easton Perry
What game can Switch do that PC cannot? Give me one example that will push forward the industry.
