>>popular NES and SNES games through VC with hardware-equivalent latency
You meant Snes9x GX, right? Why restrict yourself to the VC games?

>>6124496
He mentioned the latency for a reason. VC has much lower input lag than any of the homebrew emulators. I wouldn't play NES on VC though the colors are fucked up. for Snes though VC is 100% the way to go whenever possible.

>>6124446
I love my wii. Easy softmod. 240p output. Awesome little box. There are tons at the goodwill for practically nothing.

>>6124446
The Wii is the worst console that Nintendo has ever made. Fight me.

>>6124535
Virtual Boy. Doubt the Will gave half its players headaches like VB would.

>>6124535
Virtual Boy, Wii U, N64

>>6124535
Did you forget about the Wii U?

>>6124545
I meant home consoles. Overall, yes the Virtual Boy is the worst.

>>6124547
>>6124557
>Wii U and N64
Nope. Wii U is definitely the second worst home console they have ever made but it has one or two more better games than the Wii did.

>>6124561
In terms of its own game library maybe, but the Wii is fully backwards compatible with the Gaemcube, and that alone makes it better

>>6124561
w.e contrarian. Nintendo keeps getting more soulless and corporate as time goes on. Wii had much better stuff than is being churned out on the switch these days. Anyway this isn't the place to discuss it, this thread is not about wii games but using a wii to play retro games.

>>6124564
Literally nothing on the Wii can compete with BotW and Smash Ultimate.

>>6124565
that's subjective, but again, not the place to discuss this, this thread isn't about wii games at all.

>>6124571
>subjective
Taste is subjective. Ability to recognize good and bad is not.

>>6124572
>Ability to recognize good and bad is not.
subjective too, don't be a retard, also stop talking about non-retro

>>6124572
>Taste is subjective. Ability to recognize good and bad is not
Retard alert retard alert

>>6124576
Oh look, another intellectually lazy person hiding behind subjectivism so their opinion isn’t challenged. Sad!

>>6124581
Cope, parrot.

>>6124582
>so their opinion isn’t challenged
You just said it yourself, these are just opinions, therefore subjective. There are objective ways you can discuss aspects of games but to call a game good or bad is entirely subjective. Also get a hold of yourself man, there are so much more important things to argue about then fucking console wars.

>>6124583
>parrot
the irony is I didn't see his post before I made mine, we just thought the same thing about you

>>6124561
>I meant home consoles
Of course the virtual boy was a home console. Nobody actually treated that thing like a portable.

>>6124564
This

>>6124446
The original Xbox is a good companion with the Wii for MAME.

>>6124563
Ok, then PC is the best console ever made because I can play whatever I want. Sorry, the GameCube games don't count as part of the Wii's library. That's just grasping at straws.

>>6124564
The Switch's library is already better than the Wii's. Nice try on trying to weasel out of the conversation with the last sentence though.

>>6124592
And that's one of the reasons why the VB failed.

>>6124561
How is Wii U bad when it has the exact same capabilities of a regular Wii but with better retroarch support and its own game library added on top? (And i do mean the exact same since it has the same hardware as the Wii built-in alongside newer parts, as well as all of the wiimotes and their respective add-ons like the nunchunk and wii pro controller being compatible from the get-go)
Sure, it might not really be worth the time and money to buy one unless you're a collector (if it costs $60 and higher), that's when you're better off with a regular Wii, but if you somehow either own it already or extremely lucky to find one at a very cheap price, why not go for it?
>>6124565
>he doesn't know BotW was also released on Wii U
>he also thinks Smash is an actual game instead of some hype-jerking trashfire
Pic related.

>>6124889
Wii U can’t output 240p.
>Also on Wii U
And it’s the worst version of the game.
>Smash is just buzzword buzzword
I’m sorry you think being counterculture makes you interesting.

>>6124531
We're hitting a sweet spot for being able to find secondhand Wiis now. There's usually 2 at every thrift store I go to. The only thing is having to find a pro or classic controller separately.

>>6124446
That's nice and all but I'd rather invest in an FPGA console like the MiSTer.

>>6124915
t. CockSmoker

>>6124918
SmokeMonster actually makes solid videos showcasing the MiSTer FPGA in action.

>>6124905
Were always going to be in the sweet spot with the wii. it sold a hundred million and either everyone hates it or doesnt give a shit about them

>>6124905
True. I had to pick up a classic controller at gamestop, used, for a little more than I wanted to pay for it. I would like a pro but dont want to spend the money on it since I already have a regular classic.

>>6124961
Well a lot of people bought them for hospitals, nursing homes, grand parents and other shit were they were just going to be used a little while and then dumped off. The supply will dry up eventually.

One thing i cant find anywhere is a fucking wii u. Nobody has one.

>>6124894
>Wii U can't output 240p
Fair.
>And it's the worst version of the game
I'm sure the only things worse about that version might be the graphics and load times, which isn't that bad to deal with.
>I’m sorry you think being counterculture makes you interesting
I'm sorry you have such low standards for games where you can't tell which one's real and which one's just a shallow excuse for a game solely created for jerking off people's nostalgia, hype, and autistic rage / debates over the smallest, shittiest thing like having a character in their precious Ms. America simulator.
If you want to actually see crossover games done right, look at the Marvel vs. Capcom trilogy (two of which are even /vr/) as a clear example.
Now go back to >>>/v/

>>6124446
No reason to get a wii over a wii U besides using physical Gamecube disks,

>>6125143
Even then you'd be better off with a GameCube separately so you can use the Gameboy Player, the Wii doesn't support it but AFAIK the Wii U supports everything that the facelift non-GC Wii does.

>>6125143
Wii U I can't do 240p output which is one of the main reasons wiis are so great for retro gaming.

I like my wii. It's a nice combination of /vr/ and modern convenience. It's a cheap and easy way to get a quality 480p experience

>>6125154
>240p meme machine
I’m loling at your life

>>6125174
you sure sound insecure

>>6125174
since when is running games at their original resolutions a meme?

>>6125174
>the single most popular console of its generation is now a meme machine
Idiot.

>>6125150
Is there any need for the gameboy player when there are GB/GBC/GBA emulators available?

>>6125212
depends how picky you are. GBA especially does not emulate perfectly on wii, you will get frame skipping.

>>6124446
This, no reason to get those shitberrypis when wiis are avaliable for dirt cheap

>>6124915
Enjoy your overpriced trash

>>6125212
It's the only way to play GBA on a TV with official hardware, and unlocks some special features on compatible games like SMA4, which unfucks the pallette without a romhack.

>>6125032
I like how you criticized Smash, for the second time, using literally nothing but buzzwords. You’re a miserable excuse of a human being and your family probably loathes you.

>>6124446
I look forward to the 9th gen consoles. Hopefully the timeline will be push to 2005-2006 by then.
Would love to discuss early 2000 games here. Away from /v/'s high traffic.

but in anycase, yeah wii was really something. Casualized gaming too fast too hard. Nothing that came after manage to captivate such a broad audience, no fad succeeded to capture normies. I thought vr would do it but it is still in its infancy

>>6124496
>what are VC injects

>>6126556
what are some SNES VC injects for the Wii that werk flawlessly?

>>6124526
>VC has much lower input lag than any of the homebrew emulators.

lol, no, they are exactly the same, both use similar libraries for reading inputs and rendering display, very close to bare-metal (no OS or drivers buffering like on PC or even RPi with linux)

>>6125212
Best GBA emulation is on the Wii U VC, you get the GBA + GC connectivity + eReader bonuses with most games and also a digtal manual that you can read on the GamePad

>>6125225
you don't with mGBA

>>6126760
bullshit

>>6126337
Keep dreaming, zoomer. 6th gen will never be retro.

Is there a mega link with all the good VC games?

>>6128498
reddit complete romset download by SPIC alvaro!

>>6126337
Remember, atari are still the best games
