So wait they run worse than on N64?

Lol, no.

Have you seen og N64 resolution?

 

[Shut0wen]

The reason they don't bring back their old games is seemingly because they aren't very good at it. The 3-point filtering failure is the worst to me.

They as they were decent on wii and wii u fuck knows why they even bothered with this and they probs wint even fix them either

Nice box too

Nintendo is one lucky company I tell ya, they have obnoxious blind fans who will spend their money on everything. Their hardware is just subpar

Well yeah most of there games are masterpieces, id say they are the best in the business at the moment, valve could of been if they made games eve tried but they are going the Nintendo route and making ganes specifically for there hardware

 

[Meesh]

Am I the only one here whose mind immediately goes to Steam Deck with each and every Nintendo blunder these days?
Might as well play all their legacy stuff on OG hardware.

How dare you include Hello Games with those other cunts. To their defence they have repented by patching NMS to what people originally expected it to be.

However, the likes of Tim Gettys hasn't patched out being a cunt yet.

I honestly can't recognize any of them. I just googled "switch+soyface" and that came. Apologies.

Google didn't lie with that search . I'm betting on the ginger soylent one to make the news first from that list for being a creep/predator/abductor.

Damn dude. You're doing a good job for Halloween.

As long as they're looked at as "the good guys" they'll get away with whatever shit they throw at the consumer. Speaking of consumer and pundits I mean this:

Sadly, those are controlling the gaming media.

This explains why lesbians exist more than anything else could.

I wonder if it can be repurposed as labo with a few cuts here and there.

I hope someday they can match the performance of UltraHLE on my Voodoo2 + Pentium 2 333MHz from the mid 90s

Nintendo has released the Nintendo Switch Expansion Pack N64 games that emulate several titles. While this allows the Switch the play N64 games such as Zelda: Ocarina of time, Super mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Winback and more the common consensus is that this is not a great port as it emulates the classic Nintendo 64 console in a poor way. While this does include North American and European versions of the game, reports say that fog, frame-rates, and input timing are affected all of which is covered in this Performance Review. Is this the Link to the Past we all hoped? Watch and find out. Nintendo Online N64 games may have been something that we've all waited for, but maybe Nintendo should take another pass.

 

[MrA]

Explains it, doesn't justify it

 

[It's all in the wrist]

This is a load of fucking horseshit on Nintendo's part. They do the absolute bare minimum that they have to in order to remain competitive.

Great exclusives tho.

In my opinion, the exclusives are the bare minimum to stay competitive. Having N64 games to begin with isn't needed to sway any console wars.

It's still bullshit though.

 

[Fake]

NXGamer is that your doing? Great job.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Maybe by the time Switch Online Expansion + Gold comes out they'll add the fog in for an extra $50 and toss in a couple of Tiger Electronics games

Emulating their own games properly and with bare minimum effort upgrades to effects: Nintendo the Slack-jawed Yokel

I don't really want to hear excuses for these pathetic emulation/re-release failures anymore, please just so I don't need to keep thinking mental things like, "Finally when the Steam Deck comes out I'll have a handheld console where I can play all the great old Nintendo games":

I was going to do "3rd party" emulation on my Switch but I can't because of stupid thieves lifting my OG Switch and forcing me to get a nu-Switch with the security updates.

Nintendo released update 1.2.0 to the Switch Online Expansion pack service for Nintendo 64. In this episode we take a closer look at some of the improvements that were made, and what still needs to be addressed.

 

[mcjmetroid]

It's good they're improving the online service, I still don't think it's worth it but hey.

As a side note... Why do some videos always have to call the Switch the full name? "NINTENDO switch"
They don't do it for "Sony Playstation" just irks me a bit.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

The “virtual console” on Switch is just awful in general imo. I hope they scrap it for the next system and makes something worthwhile.

Wii Virtual Console was by far the best when it was around. I have games for several consoles there (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, PC Engine (!!!), and a couple of a Virtual Console originals).

As far as retro offerings, Nintendo is like that one musician that released a great debut album, only to burn out and suck afterwards

 

[SLB1904]

Weird. Works great on my laptop.

Oh man, the smoothing with Link's character model looks terrible.

It stands out to me more cause I'm currently playing OOT on an actual N64, not that the graphics are great on OG hardware but the roughness of it helps with the dated visuals.

Playing in S-Video on a Trinitron. The below photo of mine isn't the greatest example, still looks better on the TV, but I think the vanilla visuals hold up just fine.

Negative.

It's looks like a JPEG of compressed footage of an N64 game that released in 1998.

It's definitely not gorgeous but I'll take the rough OG look over smooth emulated graphics any day of the week. I want my old games to look old, I put effort into getting the best cables I can, but I love the smudged look of certain N64 titles.

Yeah, the game doesn't look that bad on my TV.

IMO, the best way to capture accurate N64 screens is to use Emulator+Angrylion or Parallel RDP at native resolution and a good CRT shader.

Yea, I have an archaic external capture card that allows for direct s-video input/output. The card itself doesn't capture the full range of colors but it's such a cool piece of hardware for capturing retro footage, even if it isn't 1:1. It's from like 2003 or something, lol. It also bypasses HDCP, current external elgato cards don't work with a PS3 but this thing does. And yes, I have S-Video cables for the PS3, lol.

I can never tell in GAF emulation threads. And there was a surprising lack of piracy nagging in this one.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Now that Majora's Mask is on Switch, Nintendo went back and fixed Ocarina of Time's Water Temple room too, now rendering the fog and water accurate to the original hardware!

 

[SeraphJan]

Well, you can't expect a mobile device to emulate N64 without problem, which is one of the harder console to emulate, its not a fair comparison.
