Emulation is the only reason I ever was a nintendo fan at all. I despised consoles for everything they stood for. Stripped down computers with a very shitty shelf life, and now paying for your own internet twice??? I used to emulate a lot and jumped on the delusion bandwagon that nintendo is good, which led me to beg my parents to buy me a wii and later a switch on launch day. Now that their games are also kinda shit, there’s very little insensitive anyways. Fuck nintendo.
These assholes can’t seem to grasp that emulation is the only reason their old games are still popular.
But they don’t care, do they ? It’s better for them if you stop playing the old game and buy the 1234th remake of Mario at full price on Switch
It is absolutely shocking to me how long it is taking for fans to turn on Nintendo. They’ve done this hardcore corpo shit for years. They should have a public image far worse than EA by now.
The nostalgic love runs deep, I guess.
raises hand
As an owner of hundreds of Nintendo pieces from arcade to Switch… I’ve turned.
Original console or RPi3 with Lakka for classics on the Sony Trinitron, and GOG or Steam on Linux for anything new.
Look into a MiSTer FPGA. It’s way better than a pi (latency!) for everything up to ps1/n64/Saturn
Don’t remind me. I need a PVM to go with it. 😅 Although, I actually like the 240p composite video on the Trinitron TV, it looks exactly like it did back-in-the-day and indistiguishable from the real consoles’ composite output.
The Lakka image I’m using is well-tuned with noticably less lag than some Pi setups I’ve seen. Interested Pi owners can find it here.
I can’t find it, but someone has been collecting stats on input lag for many different USB gamepads/controllers as well.
I was shocked at how badly I was playing Symphony of the Night on a PS Vita TV with a DualShock 4… it turned out to be the input lag… of an real Sony controller on a real Sony console. Connect it by USB cable - noticable lag went away. 🤬
Fuck Nintendo. I refuse to buy any of their games anymore. If its something I want to play, I will pirate instead.
I just bought a Wii and a 3DS a year or two ago for the first time. CFW on both of them and packed them full of games. Had a blast.
In ten years I’ll probably do the same with the switch.
Is Nintendo trying to get people to not buy their games?
It’s working, my desire to buy nintendo games is going down with every piece of news that comes out about them
