MY DICK IS DIAMONDS

I don't see how it'd work without the pressure sensitive triggers

that sounds fantastic
love the gamecube but i dont like emulators for 3d games

>tfw I never played TTYD

It will probably have to utilize the pro controller :/

REMEMBER! YOU CAN'T SPELL "SWITCH" WITHOUT "SHIT!"

SWITCH
H

Sorry guys but Jap region only


Have some region lock instead

why did they never introduce it on the Wii U when that was already capable of running GC games?

Legion Rock?

But the switch is rumored by many sources to have no region lock

have the triggers been confirmed to not be pressure-sensitive?

Cool for on the go emulation I guess.

Dolphin emulator is already great and still steadily improving with functioning online.

>paying for emulators
ive had 60fps 4k f-zero gx since dolphin 4.0 and its almost time for dolphin SIX

Too good to be true, we're talking about Nintendo here

>Rumored
Wii U was rumored to be very powerful and be region free.

Sonyggers everyone! Enjoy!

Because they wii u fucking died

Nobody in his right mind would defend Nintendo tho
considering how shitty they treat their consumers for the last 6 years

>>paying $30 for games I already own and can purchase at any used game store for $10 at worst.
amazing

The fuck is wrong with you?

>implying I'm not a jaded Wii U owner
Stop being a reactionary console warring retard. What are you? 12?

oh boy another super smash melee console!!!!!

oh boy

another halfassed virtual console

Do you also play your GCN on the bus?

It's true tho.

They themselves have expressed the wish for the removal of region lock

Have some custom firmware then assholes. You bring it all on yourself.

>play f-zero gx on a bus
thanks for the infinite motion sickness

>your face when melee high(er) def with native online
Might actually make me buy the wii (you)

It WILL be an emulator though.

>expressed the wish
No they haven't. All we've gotten is Iwata say "maybe they'll consider it" and that nigga is dead.

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.

No. Plus in the reveal you can see the triggers. They seems to have a short throw life the ps4 controller.

Too bad gamecube has shit all for games.
...melee tho...

SDK usually don't have region lock

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.

Yeah, they said they were looking to remove it

Also, I doubt Iwata's policies did not affect the switch in any way

So was the ps4.

>playing vidya outside

Wow. I can pay to play games for a console I already own, and could also emulate.

This is just the best news ever.

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.

PS4 is region free though.

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.

There was a rumour after the reveal that the triggers were analog.

zero glitches?
proof?

>being insecure
Although to be honest I mostly use my handhelds at home.

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

ITT dumb niggers who want to pay for the same games twice to run it at an inferior resolution to an emulator.

I might just buy this shit. Hopefully they have a galaxy sequal not long after launch

>playing on the buggiest emulator known to man

Pcfats are so cute

K1 barely runs at 20FPS for GameCube games, P1 can do it however.

so will they have a better vc system nes looks like ass on wiiu vc

Hey atleast they tried, unlike the other companies which just made underpowered PCs not worth buying (and only holding the industry back)

Have fun lugging your PC along with you on the subway

(You)

>not just playing it at 1080p with HD textures on Dolphin

Melee is the worst first party game on the gamecube

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.

Keep that buyer's remorse disinfo comin'!

>buyer's remorse
>on an unreleased console
???

It sure is.

>Public transport

>emulation
>paper mario on a PC

no thanks, never

Have fun with your PC on the bus!

Or during lunch break

Oh you're saying that your mommy still drives you to school? How lucky!

>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

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?

So Switch is an overpowered PC that is pushing the industry forward?

I haven't gotten Dolphin 5.0 but I hear it runs everything perfectly and better than the Wii/GCN in fact.

Nintendo can't do much about that

TTYD 100%

>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!"

It's a decently powered (and only) handheld in the market

me on the left

Forgot to mention they will literally never rerelease Melee because Nintendo resent that it still overshadows their latest efforts.

This kid is older than most of Sup Forums

>it still overshadows their latest efforts.
>a bunch of autists = the whole Smash fanbase
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

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.

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.

handhelds are obsolete now thanks to mobiles and tablets being more powerful, having emulation, and offering more functionality outside of gaming.

Can you blame them? Modern Nintendo games are shit so of course they would be excited for playing games that are actually good

How does a decently powered handheld push forward the market? Did the Vita do this? Did the Shield do this?

>While the program generates shaders

>I-if I pretend to know computery words maybe people won't think I'm retarded!

Whatever. I already have a hacked Wii. Why would I pay for a Nintendo Shit?

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?

Go to /emugen/ and ask about shader compilation stuttering.

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.

>Nintendo caring about tourneys
AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

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.

>has to resort to backwards compat

literally no games the console

Good conversation

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.

fuck, you're right

...

>m-m-m-muh thread stopped getting replies ;_;

kill yourself

Projecting this much

Who the FUCK doesn't use the catalog in 2016

What game can Switch do that PC cannot? Give me one example that will push forward the industry.

For one, be portable
