Which GC games do you want on Switch? For me, it's >Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 >Sonic Heroes >Tales of Symphonia >Digimon World 4 >F-Zero GX >Pokemon Colosseum & XD >Megaman Network Transmission
Melee will never happen because it would kill Smash 4 Deluxe's sales. Also, Brawl>>>>>>melee, fuck off :3
oh wait, no analog triggers, because nintendo is retarded
Jackson Cruz
I doubt GC will even happen.
Idk, man. I don't think Nintendo cares.
Angel Mitchell
Melee.
Leo Gray
analog triggers :^)
Anthony Brown
sad, but you might be right.
Anthony Gonzalez
no you STUPID GAIJIN BAKA ANALOG TRIGGERS ARE WORSE THAN THE FUCKING BOMBING OF 広島市 YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL NINTENDO LET YOU SPEND A PREMIUM FOR BUTTONS AND ICE CUBES REEEEEEEEEEE
Jayden Turner
> Pokèmon XD Fucking epic man XD
Justin Smith
I will buy a switch if they do it and make it work online.
Noah Lopez
PLS
Brayden Bell
why would you want to emulate the fucking gamecube version when there's a modern port that you can buy right now for two bongbucks humblebundle.com/store/sonic-adventure-2
Lucas Diaz
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Donkey Konga Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and wireless DK bongos so I can use them on my Switch
Matthew Gomez
Portable chao garden.
John Wilson
Stadium didn't come to the Switch's VC despite the gen 1 rerelease, I doubt the GC games will come.
Tyler Wilson
i don't think you all understand how underpowered the switch is. gamecube VC will never happen
Ayden Watson
is it actually more underpowered than wii u?
Samuel James
For the love of all things good on this earth
FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES
Aiden Bennett
Ikaruga and viewtiful joe
Connor Martinez
wii u had hardware the supported the gamecube natively. switch VC would use emulation, which the switch isn't powerful enough for
Mason Thomas
Why make VC games for $10 a piece when you can "remaster" them and sell them for $60 a piece?
I doubt anything after N64 will get VC releases
Dylan Gonzalez
welp /thread i guess
Dominic Ramirez
Too bad people never realize this.
Luke Richardson
games like SA1/2 wont get remastered because nobody can reverse engineer the physics :(
Bentley Miller
Make this happen Nintendo
Joseph Watson
OR you could emulate them on a computer and they would prob run better.
Jeremiah Roberts
What? Remastering legitimately takes more work, wtf? Only if the game is guaranteed to sell well, like Zelda remasters, is it worth it to do them.
Chase Wilson

>tech is too different to natively run GC games >tech is too shit to emulate GC games >tech is overpriced for the performance you get >tech is overpriced because there is actually modern doodads in it >modern doodads underclocked by 60%, completely and totally defeating the engineering design where cheaper older hardware would have done just as well Nintendo switch is the dumbest piece of fucking techology I've ever seen.

Nintendo Switch is dumb b/c you say it can't emulate gamecube games.
lul
Levi Harris
Where is this meme that the switch is too weak to emulate NGC games? This is the first time I've heard of this
Luke Carter
Custom Robo Star Fox Assault (Yes I actually liked it, fight me) Mario Sunshine Metroid Prime (Never Played it) Luigi's Mansion
Wyatt Howard
>SA1+2 >Pokemon Colosseum and DX >F-Zero GX >Melee >Super Mario Sunshine >Luigi's Mansion >Animal Crossing (if there isn't already a switch version out at that point) >Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (because why tf not)
Austin Morris
This. WiiU literally had a Wii inside it, and the Wii was basically a rebranded GameCube with online support. GameCube VC would actually take a ton of work.
Andrew Green
Nvidia Shield can't do it reliably with 50% more resources than the Switch.
Jace Ross
Even if it is, Nintendo has access to the original source code. They can make it work if they want.
Just a matter of if they think it is worth it.
Jeremiah Collins
Thats a remaster son, not VC.
Dylan Robinson
>>Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Forgot all about this game. Only played demos as a kid when it was in the store. I hope they port that as well.
Adam Adams
Virtual console is a branding scheme. Doesn't have to mean emulation IMO.
Andrew Stewart
Soul Caliber 2
Jonathan Lewis
No the idea is that Nintendo can make the most optimized emulators since they know the GC inside and out.
Why do you think people made a big deal when N64 games hit the VC? They're a bitch to emulate.
Matthew Harris
Killer 7. A remaster would be better, but I'd settle for a VC release.
Charles Williams
4swords
Joseph Butler
Its a branding scheme to facilitate easy porting. Only games with their original source codes still preserved could be rengineered to work on switch, and at that point it's a port as well as taking time and effort to rengineer the source, and if you're dumping time and effort into it you may as well just redo the assets and touch the game up as a remaster.
Emulation requires zero effort and increases the chances of it happening. Porting and remasters require effort and decrease it if not outright being futile if theres no access to the source.
Nathaniel Harris
Some n64 games are a bitch to emulate, and they're explicitly not in the few that are supported by VC.
Really gets your nigger noggerin'.
Thomas Powell
what kind of excuse is this, gamecube games only used 2 pressure levels for the triggers
Joshua Wood
>tfw never had the occasion to play this with another person because you need 2 gba and 2 plugs
Christopher Edwards
>i'm retarded
Ethan Morales
>half press on ZL/ZR >full press on L/R WOOOOOOOOOOOW I'M RETARDED
Jace Jones
is it true that if you lose your switch you lose your downloaded games plus save files
Lincoln Lopez
they better make this compatible
Christopher Bell
Pic related, maybe even launch a server for it.
Hudson Perez
matthew knight?
Hunter Powell
None because it has no analog triggers.
Henry Myers
Yes because it locks SD cards to the console. This is Sony Vita memory levels of kikery.
Jacob Peterson
>i've never played a game that featured analog triggers on the gamecube and I'm retarded
Brayden Murphy
wew not even an online backup or anything
i'll get it on christmas but that shit ain't leaving home at all

why did the gamecube flop?
it seems nintendo is doing the opposite of everything the gamecube did because they don't know why the gamecube flopped
Justin Price
metroid prime 1 and 2 fucking NOW
Anthony Gutierrez
no 3rd party expensive hard competition(ps2 dvd marketing obliterated everything) new generation of gamers started with the ps1(who obliterated because audio player) bad marketing hard to make games for little discs were bad
Wyatt Roberts
is sa2 the new mario 64?
David Baker
Gamecube didn't do so bad. It was a middle ground few people cared about though. PS2 used DVD9s, Xbox used DVD9s and better graphics, Gamecube used MiniDVD's and rivaled xbox graphics.
Gamecube was a considerably better console for it's time than the Switch is, actually. Switch is garbage.
Jacob Lewis
IDK
if the switch can't emulate16 year old hardware, then it will have problems
Hudson Kelly
>tfw you didn't buy a Switch
Feels great man.
Kayden Hernandez
I don't understand. How does it being portable change the experience in any way?
Brody Barnes
>no 3rd party wrong >expensive wrong, it was the cheapest console >hard competition(ps2 dvd marketing obliterated everything) maybe >new generation of gamers started with the ps1(who obliterated because audio player) doesn't account for the 17 million n64 players who didn't pick up a gamecube >bad marketing it was pretty good from my memory >hard to make games for way easier than the ps2 >little discs were bad not as bad as cartridges
Dylan Cruz
Chibi- robo. Fuck everything else.
Justin Wood
billy hatcher is one of the greatest sega games, the combos and platforming are really good but its jank as shit like everything sonic team. shame its so forgotten
Isaac Price
They literally lost because Sony is basically for casuals
Jonathan Perez
>no gc emulation cause underpowered and no analog triggers >no wii emulation cause underpowered and no IR sensor bar for joycons >no DS emulation cause no second screen >expensive Tegra X1 underclocked to perform worse than a cheaper Tegra K1 >3 hour battery life and too bulky to be reliably portable >dock only unlocks power enough to increase resolution of games natively designed to run in undocked mode, essentially a PSVitaTV so not really a home console either >console considerably less powerful than a Wii U can only match Wii U graphics because vulkan api, when the next xbox and playstation will support vulkan on top of considerably more hardware power to sigificantly increase the performance gap, virtually insuring no Switch ports multiplats.

greatest racing game ever
Blake Johnson
I wonder who could be behind this?
Ian Long
Meanwhile, WiiU can literally emulate every Nintendo game ever, including Switch games.
Feels great.
Angel Davis

Isaiah Thomas
should I just get a cheap wiiu and hack it?
Gavin White
Duh.
>inb4 Cemu PC still has trouble with N64 emulation. Meanwhile WiiU can do it flawlessly.
Brayden Reyes

no!!!!
delete this!!!!

Yeah, nobody could make something so broken twice.
Alexander Clark
>PC still has trouble with N64 emulation. Meanwhile WiiU can do it flawlessly. Do you actually believe this?
James Richardson
Suddenly Sonic 06 makes a lot of sense.
Nathan Reed
Let me know when PJ64 can run Banjo Tooie flawlessly, and actually boot Rouge Squadron.
Jose Phillips
My WiiU runs Banjo Kazooie and Perfect Dark from a USB HDD just fine. I can even use N64 controllers through homebrew (with a USB to N64 adapter)
James Campbell
let me know when you discover google dot com
Zachary Thomas
Theoretically it isn't the lack of power that would keep the Switch from emulating GameCube.
But there are too many issues involved with the process for Nintendo to want to make the attempt, seeing as people would expect it to be flawless, with 720p at minimum, and running nicely undocked as well.
