nintendo

emuation will always be the way to go

I do not bother emulating modern consoles, too much effort

not to take anything for granted, since it's a lot of work on the internet autists

now that nintendo owns both switch emulators, they are official nintendo software 👍

Honestly, that should've been Nintendo's powermove

I don't think I understand the pov Pika, but I'm not trying to change your mind on that

release an emulator thats super locked down and you can play like 3 things

Links Awakening was the last Switch game I bought I think

and since I've just emulated the stuff I wanted to try

I bought the TYD remake

thats the last one I got

I am also just too busy to play games

oh, I bought that one too

that was when I was moving

I forgot completely

I think that one might have been a leftover game voucher thing

There are modern games I would emulate. If shadow generations gets cracked I'll play it illegally

Mario Wonder was perfect for that to me

I wanted to try it, zero chance I'd ever buy it though

when i tried emulating link's awakening it was more performant on hardware

Mario Wonder was a decent game that is mired by being way too easy even for mario standards

I think it was the least difficult super 100% postgame content from any of the mario's I've 100%'d

i'll use XCX as a benchmark game for the new console if I do buy both

Nintendo has the benifit of no other console being worth owning

so you just buy one nintendo console every 10 years

Their issue is online is not a must-have for their games, and performance is lacking enough that you get such a better experience emulating (most of the time)

Oh for sure, I don't doubt you get better preformance

the couple games that I'd describe as killer apps, have had underwhelming last installments or have been absent for so long idk what to expect

I think the only game I had performance issues with was fire emblem warriors 2, which crashed my switch

but that only happened once

I regretted buying BotW2

it ran so bad

I ended up playing it emulated

I did not have any issues with it

it ran at 20FPS for me

Well, I did not have any preformance issues for it

I had plenty of issues with it!

lol, that too

I can't remember if there were any other games that I actually put down to emulate instead

I finished Treehouse on-hardware, and most of the early life Switch games

I fear we never get one

I hated TotK, but would love more BotW games

Strong disagree, they were both just okay

I'd have been more forgiving if TotK didn't take so long to make

I don't think you can do what BotW did more than once

it was amusing, but now the intrigue is gone because we live in a post botw world

issue is if you're trying to make another BotW (different map aside) it's hard to be different enough and still be fun

Yeah

so they'll have to change it up a lot

I think if they kept it open world, but went back to a set inventory like onlder games

I would be on board

I liked BotW but I didn't want another, and I also liked EOW and I really don't want another

I want to find the hookshot and now half the world has more options

I want to play the Zelda Zelda game at some point

Same

and yeah Pika, give me non-linear item progression

I need to finish TTYD before I start another switch game

and I'm in heaven

the issue with EOW is you can get the most broken traversal echoes right at the start

that feels too hard though

EOW is non-linear progression

Yeah we mean 3D open world though

same reason I'd never hold my breath for another MM game, it's just to hard for modern retards I think

I went through 50 different acronyms before I realized you were still talking about zelda

lol

I thought you were insisting no mario maker 3

for some reason

well

I kind of think that

Mario Maker 3D

Modders beat them to that

then I guess the mod gets to be DMCAed

the mario 64 romhacking people are nuts

they need to do another Mario Maker game at some point, but idk how you sell the same game again at this point

It sells by virtue of the biggest audience being 5 Spooky

wait 5 years, and its a new audience

ig

You know, they should solf cancel prime 4 and delay it until the end of switch 2 I think

no reason, I just think it would be funny

but yeah, idk if I can hold out hope for a non-linear BotW
