/vr/ - Retro Games

i mean, it works and its easy to use
still, overpriced and worse than free solutions

There should definitely be much more games on every system.

And if they wipe the entire slate clean and start over for the next hardware it's a complete disaster. They need to just carry it over

>>9949296
Yeah, too bad that's not the case and the lack of button remapping (system wide remapping isn't a good band-aid for that) and the bleh online multiplayer still would've made it shit.

>>9949296
>Yes Gaijin, pay for the subscription, AND the game (which you don't own) and also pay $80 for our mediocre wireless replica of a classic controller you can find on ebay for twenty bucks

>You want more GBA games? Fine! Have all the NES/SNES games we already released but now worse GBA versions!

>>9949314
You've never owned software, only been granted a license to use it.

>>9949338
Laws don't mean shit. If it is in my hands I can do whatever I want with it until someone stops me.

>>9949314
The tendies on /v/ defend the service like it was their mother, too. Busted online servers cobbled together with coat hangers and string? Oh yeah, that's worth $80/month.

>>9949338
If I physically possess a cartridge I can play it, sell it, rent it out, crush it with a bulldozer. That a higher sphere of "ownership" than a digital copy that can be taken from you at any time

>>9949314
>AND the game (which you don't own)
Anon, the games are free with the subscription, which you need to play every other Switch game online anyway. Except the ones that come with the premium subscription, but nobody likes that.

>>9949362
>free with the subscription
Paid for as part of the subscription.

>>9949314
>Buying chink reproduction controllers over official ones
Now I know you're retarded.

>they're only adding one GBA game per month even if the console has a huge-ass library
>not only that, it's taking turns with the N64 to get that one game per month
>N64 will probably stop getting games when they add every game announced from last year, maybe it will get DK64 or Cruis'n USA
>N64 Emulation is PJ64-tier of "it works"
>GB/C will take ages to get most of the best shit because its on the basic tier
>Genesis is mostly forgotten
>NES/SNES is dead, if it gets games is probably something piko interactive bought with a pennies
>a lot of games also will probably never get added because their companies have released collections with those (see Castlevania, Sonic, Contra, Megaman, Final Fantasy, etc..)
>Online is only possible with people you add, and the netcode is bad
>still no button remapping options
It's nice that Nintendo actually managed to get Goldeneye 007 and Banjo-Kazooie on their service and the GB & GBA emulators are great, but there's a lot of issues with their subscription.

>>9949346
>$80
jesus christ is it that much in canada?

>>9949368
No I mean you should just buy the actual controller

I go in with a big group of friends for a family membership so it's like 11 bucks a year for me. More than worth it at that price.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I do a lot, maybe even the majority of my retro gaming on this service now despite having better ways to play almost all of them. Very convenient to fire up a palate cleanser like MUSHA in between marathon TotK sessions.
Don't really care about online multiplayer and I can adjust to the default controls in most games(the N64 controls really suck though). I'll admit the Switch Pro controller has an extremely shitty D-pad and it's not ideal for most of these games.
Even the releases don't bother me as I have a lot of personal affection for the B-tier rentalcore slop they throw on there. However I do wish we got weekly drops even if it were only a game or two.

>>9949296
>subscription services
>decent
You will own nothing and you will be happy :)

I fucking hate this. Just let me own the games. Look at Capcom. Megaman collection, MMX, SF, MMZ, Fighters, Brawlers, MM Network even. They include artwork and some random bonus modes. Current Nintendo is a pile of dog shit. Imagine if they released a 2d mario, zelda, or a dkc collection with bonus art and modes. That'd be sick. Instead with get an overpriced monthly subscription with a couple new games released every 6 months.

>>9949423
Meh. I play games to play them, not to own them. Paying more just to "own" is retarded. It's like paying for movies. I dont know anyone in my age group (low 40s) who ever bought a movie

>>9949423
I'm fine with this particular case, since it's similar to the free Xbox live games. Nobody pays for the online subscription to get the games. They're just a bonus.

Too bad no one utilizes the online for anything other than mk64

>>9949446
i wish i could even find someone to play n64 online with

>>9949372
lmao it's literally $4 a month for the higher tier, even less for normal switch online. The higher tier has more retro consoles/games.

>>9949335
The GBA versions are sick

>>9949296
Nintendo's slow drip method can fuck right off.

>>9949372
No I just suck at maths. It's £34.99 in my country, which is around $43.36. Still a rip off for a handful of roms and a busted online service.

>>9949436
Renting is a waste of money. It's better to either pirate or buy.

>>9949370
>netcode is bad
This varies wildly between systems. N64 uses dogshit lockstep while SNES/GB/GBA use fucking rollback (I got no idea what Genesis has). NES is weird since it has some sort of low latency mode, but they'll probably gut that on the next system since the same studio already did rollback on SNES/GB so I can't imagine them not doing that for NES on the next attempt.
Everything else I agree with, but I really hate the N64 emulation more than just passing it off as functional. They had so many fucking chances to make it better and they just shit the bed constantly. They just slowly limped its quality to being "okay" over a year of patches.
NERD put out job listings for emulation developers recently that mentions the versions of C++ used by Wii/DS, so although that sounds great for fans of those systems since they're the best emu devs Nintendo has, that also makes me think that they aren't going to be making a new N64 emulator and we're gonna be stuck with iQue's absolute disaster we have now forever

>>9949296
Wait a minute Genesis but no GB or GBC? Why?

>>9949703
GB and GBC are included, that pic just omitted them.
>>9949651
This is something that also bothers me, having to wait entire months for them to fix some emulation glitches, iirc it took like 5 months to make Ocarina actually playable and some games still have bugs (F-Zero X has framedrops and stuttering, Paper Mario still has ridiculous slowdown on the menu, Yoshi's Story has stuttering, Pilotwings 64 has timing issues because it runs at 60fps), Majora's Mask slows down when there's too many particles, etc...).
I think Kirby 64 was the only time they released a hotfix because there was a softlock that made the game unbeatable or something.

>>9949346
>$80/month.
Plenty of things to criticize from this dogshit service, namely the horrible emulation, unoptimized controls, and retard friend codes. There is no reason for you to make up bullshit numbers. It's $5 a month.

>>9949895
>horrible emulation
emulation is actually great now, n64 competes with the best emulators on PC and even beats it in some areas. controls are still fucking stupid though

>>9949895
See >>9949540

>>9949296
It's a great way to play

Just it's fucking insane how long they take to add 3 games to a system

Like 11 months to get 3 games added, that's just uncalled for

>>9949901
Well that's good to know, I'll take your word for it. I tried it at the expansion launch and it was godawful.

>if you don't wanna use your phone
what argument is there for not using a phone when the implied alternative is the Switch and its godawful controllers?
>don't like using your pc for emulation
stop falling for the PC emulation is le soulless meme

They're definitely some of the best commercial emulation solutions out there. Well, except for the N64, though there aren't many options there. Their GBA emulator in particular is really good

>>9949915
>what argument is there for not using a phone when the implied alternative is the Switch and its godawful controllers?
Touch controls are terrible and i dont like having to carry those bt controllers on my pocket, i have a lite and the controls are better than the joycons at least (the analog does suck though).
And honestly I only use my phone for 10mins of gachashit, i prefer using it for other stuff than gaming, maybe if they released phones with physical buttons again I would use it more.

>>9949901
N64 does not do anything impressive (if fact it's the only NSO emulator that still has obvious emulation issues) and is at its best mediocre.
The only emulators that are genuinely impressive are the handheld ones, considering how accurate they are on top of running multiple system instances at the same time during online play. Since the GB/GBA link cables were serial based you can't introduce any sort of latency without fucking up expected timings, during online play the system silently emulates the other GB/GBAs doing the same inputs as your friends and keeps sync with rollback. The gba emulator also beats most accuracy test roms that not even mgba fully clears yet

>>9949929
>i have a lite
Translation: I am lazy and/or incompetent and this is somehow your problem

>>9949943
great argument.

>>9949296
It will always be for zoomers, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Compilations/remakes are still preferred though because they're easier to gift to modern gamers that don't have a retro console or any experience emulating.

The only reason to play classic games is using good shader

Why would anyone actually use the Nintendo service

>>9950386
Modern gamers anon

Virtual Console was fine as it was, this is a direct downgrade in both selection (Konami, Capcom and others deciding to sell on their own terms) and the fact that you can't even own the games involved; it's part of why I stopped buying video games. Nintendo was a holdout from the more scummier practices of their rivals, and then came the Switch. It's amazing how they used to practically give this shit away with the various arcade and franchise compilations on disc; games are a fucking scam nowadays.

>>9950386
>using shaders
extremely low taste level detected

>>9950386
the GB & GBA shaders are good.

>>9949296
I would rather pay a small price, about $5, for each rom than have to pay a subscription

>>9949296
I mean a 3DS can do that without a subscription. Or any of several chinese handhelds that have gotten rather good that cost much less than a Switch.
Or any cheap SBC like a Pi.
Or a second hand Wii or WiiU (WiiU has og outputs making it pretty good for this or WiiU can do more and has hdmi if you prefer it)
Or why wouldn't I use my computer?

Its an easy way for people that don't know how to do it better or somehow have time to play games but not an afternoon to set up an emulation device.

I have a Switch, I've used it, I'm glad I got it for the time I used it, but value isn't a word I would use for Nintendo.

Hi OP, you actually meant to say "glacial pace". You could've also said "glacially slow pace" or "glacier-like pace", but "glaciar" is not a word.

>>9949296
There's a fainted look to it and it lags. The only thing good about it id that some games they added online functionality, granted it's still shitty Nintendo online. Only fucking Mario Kart 8 runs like a godsend but nothing else.

>>9950369
Honest question what experience do you need to emulate? All you need to do is download the emulator, the bios if needed and the games and if you don’t know how to do something you can just watch a tutorial on YouTube.

>>9949296
It's thanks to Nintendo's assed up virtual console online whatever that made me just pirate everything to begin with.
I think their last somewhat usable catalog was in the wii era. And each new system has shit just slowly dripping in again.
And no sign of releasing anything above n64.
Same with sega, no saturn/dreamcast releases either.

I just got a beefy mini pc, put it below my tv and that thing can emulate everything better than any official offerings.

Fuck them all.

>>9949296
>if it wasn't for the glaciar pace they're adding games
isn't that the entire point of the subscription? Oh keep subscribing for *one more month* - you never know what we're going to release!

This is acceptable for normies but anyone on this board using NSO as their primary retro platform should be promptly called a fag and banned, you should know far, FAR better

>>9949296
far as I can tell this is the only legit way to play GBA games multiplayer over the net. There's the multiplayer VBA fork but that only works on LAN at most. Retroarch can't do it either. Still, fuck internet taxes. I don't owe you shit to use the internet connection I already fucking pay for, greedy goddamn game companies. Good for you that gamers are on the whole glad to bend over and get fucked. They'll even brag about it online if they have to. Fucking sheep consumer base.

>>9950809
You got to keep in mind that anybody can make anything sound easy and effortless, and just because you can do it and you will put in the time doesn't mean most people will. Yeah, there's a lot of simple things I could do but sometimes I can't be fucked and retro gaming is a "can't be fucked" by the majority of people, which you are not. Making a burger is easy as fuck, takes less than 20 minutes, yet here we are in a world of Uber Eats and Doordash.

>>9952447
That’s fine, those people just don’t belong here is all

somewhat ok Ui
not hard computer stuff for normies

>>9949346
no need to make up numbers kek

the subscription model exists because it guarantees revenue (instead of people trading/selling used copies)
now you get sales every month by doing nothing


there should be 2-5x times the amount of titles considering the price
nintendo recently went after gamecube emulation so expect things to get worse

hoard now faggots
don't say I didn't warn you

>>9952636
what does this mean?
is it a typo?

>>9952614
You don't own digital downloads anyway. Even if you could buy them it wouldn't grant you ownership

>>9953565
back in my day, the games were real physical objects WE HAD THE GAMES
>0-o-OK grandpa lets get you to bed

>>9953565
But for the old way of digital downloads like wii virtual console you can actually extract the rom from the system and have a _legal_ copy that way to be used wherever. Not possible with an online subscription.

>>9949296
Deluded. I don't have all that big demands for simple ports but Nintendo is offering a dogshit product at an insanely inflated price.

Virtual Console may not have been flawless in emulation, but it wasn't outright fucking broken and the games were cheap one time purchases. Paying a continuous subscription fee for a limited selection of games which barely work? Get fucked, this is a new low.

>>9949338
Pedantic melvin.

>>9949423
If the subscription offers me something worthwhile, I could consider it, but it's certainly not the case here.

>>9949935
The Gameboy ones genuinely sound sick as fuck, where's that effort for the other ones? Like, shit, that's a clever solution, their N64 emulator could need some of that effort.

Easiest way to play GB/GBC/GBA netplay.

>>9949296
I used the 7 day free trial, took one look at the barren GBA library and assumed that's all there was and canceled. I didn't know they are still adding games. Nintendo lost a potential customer. I'm not waiting for them to add the games I want let alone pay while I wait.

>>9954481
Because modern gamers grew up on slop and have been conditioned to accept it. Look at the average zoomer who bumbles their way in here, they make threads crying about games like Silent Hill or Tomb Raider being shit because they have tank controls, or the puzzles being "too cryptic" because there's no picture that shows them exactly how to complete it.

Probably talking to thin air here but i have the expansion pack and I would like to add people to play something on those emulators.
4P Mario Bros. Classic sounds really fun.

>>9949929
>i dont like having to carry those bt controllers on my pocket

Ah yes, much better to carry that kid's toy around in your pocket

>>9954861

>>9949296
>If it wasn't for this really big issue on top of the other issues this would be decent
wow!

>>9949296
>all the controllers are heavily available except N64
sad they still allowed scalpers to buy them and havent restocked since (at least to my knowledge). I had to honestly wait till the second hand market toned it down and got one for $75, but now you can get an OG controller buy a mod board and make your own.

>>9954825
I'm 38 and I've always hated tank controls. They don't make the games shit, though, you just have to deal with it.

>>9954481
>>Spend a large amount of my childhood money buying games from the Wii virtual store because finding oldschool games was practically impossible to do at the time
ebay and forums were a thing during the wii era,also if you were a child during the wii lifespan you are a dirty zoomer.

>>9955084
They get restocked once in a while but they still get scalped instantly.

Don't know why people even want them anyway, they're like 80$ for a controller that's useless for literally anything except a small selection of rented roms on fucking paid online DLC

>>9955084
All I know is a pro controller is 80 god damned dollars, which is absolutely insane to me. It's a fucking controller, not a Game Boy. Only scalped retro peripherals are supposed to cost this much, not new shit at retail. There are, of course, cheaper bootlegs, but Madcatz taught me back in the day that wasn't worth it.

>>9955084
Nintendo has never once cared about scalpers and never will.
As long as they make money off it everyone else can get fucked.

>>9957558
Its pretty funny how quickly forgot the manchild hype surrounding the fucking Amiibo or the scaling surrounding the NES Mini.
Then again, this is the same Nintendo that put a kirby game into the console only because they wanted to capitalize on grumpGames success and market itself to their audience.

>>9957592
>that put a kirby game into the console only because they wanted to capitalize on grumpGames success and market itself to their audience
Source? Infuriating if true. Refuse to entertain the thought of some Nintendo suit uttering "Geimu Guranpusu"

>>9949362
>>9949363
literal doublespeak

>>9954481
anon the 3ds, wii, wiiU, etc all still work
you dont magically lose your games when the next shitmon comes out

im not saying its the same thing as the current subscription model or that i support that shite
im saying the flaw in your argument is an obvious one

>>9949346
I think they just shut down in April but you could still play Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon for free online on Wii U :(

>>9957720
>anon the 3ds, wii, wiiU, etc all still work

you cannot buy new games. they only work via redownloading what you already own, or via hacking the console to obtain the games.

Nintendo officially discontinued the option, and theyre even locking out the e front in parts of the world now. I wouldn't consider this kind of shit a good thing no matter how much you want to spin it.

>>9957736
They shut down the eshop in Russia because NATO pounded their little off-white nip hole into it.

>>9957750
wii will let you inject wads
3ds will let you inject cia
dsi will let you inject whatever the fuck files it uses

>>9953703
>pedantic Melvin
Lol

>>9957754
I fully agree, just pointing out that's the only Switch eshop closing.

>>9957754
you still NEED to hack into it, anon. thats the point here. they're not officially open to the public anymore without going through hoops.
you want to use your cash to buy the games and give the devs some support? too fucking bad.

why why WHY do people continue to obsessively defend and sneedsimp over this company, it’s so fucking insane to read I feel like I’m in bizarro world, I’m struggling to think of other companies that stomp on their users nuts this hard and they keep crawling back for more, maybe apple and adobe? Holy shit it’s mental fucking illness, actual post botched lobotomies walking around

>>9957803
>Going through hoops
It takes like 20 minutes to hack any ds/ install twilight menu/search Google for archive 3/DS roms. Nintendo's not making any money off this shit anymore and they won't give you a way to properly pay for their products, fuck em.

>>9957845
I feel the same. It's getting so bad and you try and bring up good pints about their bad business practices and what they should do to appease many of their fans and make money in the process, but no. You become ostracized and everybody start.mob mentality attacking you and defending Nintendo. I've become jaded over it. I don't like seeing this happen to videogames, they are a big part of my life.

>>9957859
and I have no problem with it. I'm just saying they're fucking cunts to people who aren't interested in hacking their shit and just want to play these old games more officially. I dont even consider myself a fan of the company anymore because they're not the same brand anymore. They're legit pieces of shit.

Did you say glacier pace?

>>9957845
It's ironic shitposting, but mainly retarded kids, man. They'll cave-in to piracy once they see skyrocketed prices of games they suddenly have nostalgia for wanting to play again or when 'tendo shrinks their library even further in the coming future and the "Oh well. I guess that's just the way things are...heh..." mentality will only last for so long.
I'd say let them keep sucking cock. Separates the weak from the chaff.

>>9957892
Wheat from the chaff, rather. I know my sayings!

>>9957892
I think the average fan has shown there is no breaking point for them, just infinite bending, look at how many people post unironic cheering when something related to piracy gets taken down, they’ve mentally devolved to the point where they’re acting like billion dollar corpo e-police for free *and* they get some sense of “””””””accomplishment”””””” too, they’re one step away from saying “we” did XYZ

>>9957612
Kirby's Dreamcourse is the name of the game.
Literally NO ONE heard of the game until the channel started playing it and not longer after it appeared on the channel and memed to death by the fans, the SNES Mini mysteriously included it into the selection of the games you could play on it. Even the menu music sounds like something from their Grumpout or commercial segments and Arin is known to be a die-hard nutendo faggot. not /vr they were also heavily shilling Amiibos and the Wii U when it was still alive so thats an extra hint for you i would know all this because i was a pathetic fan of them too for a long time.

>>9957910
What a terrible time to be alive.

>>9957959
It’s even better when you realize as bad as things are now, it’s the best they’re ever going to be going forward

>>9957961
> it’s the best they’re ever going to be going forward

sadly true, but ironically, global awareness of all this awful stuff has boiled over to the point it can't be ignored anymore. everyone is finally waking up to the bs in front of them but it remains to be seen if its too late to fix it.
imo, i dont think it is too late. obv we're never going back to the 2000s but in some way that isnt that bad because those attitudes were what led to the last horrific 10 years. i think we're finally past all of it but waking up to a nightmare isn't exactly a fun time, nor is cleaning it out.

>>9949296
I don't see the value in the expansion pack yet, maybe if they had a much bigger library and added some gamecube/ds/3ds I would consider it

>>9949296

Imagine defending this crap.

>>9957906
Again, the "cheering" you see on here can be chalked up to ironic shitposting, but you're right about the average fan thing. Anecdotally, a friend of mine is such a 'tendo apologist he just hand waves their fuck ups with middle-ground excuses. The worst one of his was the Eshop being shutdown because "muh server space", but at least now people have an excuse to pirate the games! If the Dolphin fiasco isn't a wake up call for him then he's already lost. Might as well be already since buying TotK at $70 + tip (while having a perfectly hackable Switch he can fix with just a fan replacement). Whatever. S'not my problem.

The source of this dystopian mantra appears to be something called Qualtrics. From looking at their Twitter page, there is no indication whatsoever as to what products and/or services they offer, which calls their competence into question. The meaningless jargon they tweet very much matches the tone of this little nightmare, though.

>>9957845
People like to feel connected. They want remakes so there can be a moment on the internet where everyone is playing said game, not because it needs a remake. They like being at the mercy of the dripfeed. People played Fusion why? Because everyone else was playing it for a day or two and talking about it. The service dictates the culture and people like to buy into that. Add connectivity and invites, easy capture/sharing, and console gamer laziness and you have your answer.

does retroarch has the gba filter that nso uses?
I really like it and the ones i've tried from RA dont look as good imo

>>9957892
I'm convinced the anti piracy obsession is less about brand loyalty and more about sour grapes. Give one of those basedboys a hacked 3ds with every SNES/NES game ever made on it and they pretty quickly change their tunes

>I'm convinced the anti piracy obsession is less about brand loyalty and more about sour grapes.
I'm a little hard pressed to believe that considering just how easy it is to pirate, unless the grapers really are just that inept, lack resources and/or fell for the anti-piracy propaganda. Then again I wouldn't be surprised if it all turned out the majority of them come from 3rd world shitholes considering what April Fools on /v/ years ago has taught me.

>>9954579
lol! even old project 64 builds emulate more accurate than this
imagine being so subhuman that you pay money for a hack job like this. tendies are truly subhuman.

People get so fucking bent out of shape about the NSO it's unreal. The people who espouse pirating were just going to pirate anyway so who cares what they think?

>>9961026
Most of them are zoomers and have no idea what the games are actually supposed to look like, or just can't remember well.
Nintendo doesn't give a shit either, red link version would have been how it was left if people didn't complain.
Especially when you have dick suckers like this who just eat up and defend all their slop: >>9961067

>>9959662
You can probably adjust the shader parameters to match it

I have zero problem with emulation or piracy of old games but the huffy entitlement you dorks get over it is ridiculous.

>>9949296
It's kinda getting pathetic and they fucked it up again
The VC, even when it was new during the Wii, they rightfully got laughed at for black box NES titles at 5 fucking dollars. Zelda? Maybe. Ice Climbers? Fuck no. Snes and up didn't have this much of a similar problem, but still
The issue is that they're (including other companies) trying to hold on to their old games which are getting increasingly worthless in people's eyes. You can only purchase the same game so much, you can only see them get trickled down so far. What's worse is that Nintendo is the worst in that they don't even include some of their more worthless games as bonuses anymore. Animal Crossing would still be perfect for this and they don't
Ken Akamatsu is apparently currently successful in his "game preservation" thing in the government, but we still have no idea what's going to happen. Ideally, force the corps to outright sell the raw rom (work with no intro on this or whatever), have the corps shut the fuck up about emulators and sell the rom and let people figure out the emulation... But I have a feeling it won't be so utopian unfortunately. It's what NEEDS to happen however

>>9961067
It's insane how much attention anything Nintendo does gets.
no one ever talks about the PS2 games that are on PS4 as a "Classic" or what gets included in the PS+ section, and honestly i'd be more interested in that. I'd like to see what sony considers worth bringing back

>>9961154
nso is just so absurdly stupid that is impossible for anyone not to show "huffy entitlement" when criticizing it

>>9954481
It's really scary. A forum I used to go to, everyone 15 years ago made fun of you being a lazy slob if you said you were too lazy to change the disc/cart
Now people, some of the same people too, are fully accepting digital and getting fucked in the ass because they're too lazy to change the disc/cart
Fucking hell

>>9961138
>Nintendo doesn't give a shit either
Why don't they? What happened to Japanese pride and work ethic? How are they not ashamed of what they've done to their legacy titles? You'd think they'd be falling on their swords over how bad their N64 emulation is.

>>9961067
it's a terrible deal for consumers for the price paid and slow output. Obviously people will bitch about it. If they weren't for Nintendo fanboyism people would bitch about it even more

>>9949296
If they add ps1 and ps2 I would have a tough time not buying this

But they won't so it's ok

IT'S UP

>>9949296
Are they still reselling roms? lol
How accurate is Nintendo's emulation compared to it's counterparts? i assume the N64 stuff is better.

>>9962731
where's my baby

>>9954828
yeah I'd be up for it, I was more or less coerced into buying a year of this shit so might as well use it. How do you add people on this shit? I never used switch online before recently.

The moment Nintendo decides it's not worth going after emulation with legal battles is the point of where I'd so much as consider as buying a game from their store. Remember what happened to wii store? remember 3DS Eshop? closed recently, or even Wii U's store? They don't care about preservation of video games, it's all about milking their games and reselling them. If they truly cared about legacy products then they'd have made an account wide system already so you'd never have to buy a game again. I'd rather track down games in the original format off Ebay, as long as it ensures that Nintendo doesn't see another cent. That's the legal way of telling them to fuck off i guess. Do not encourage this parasitic company to keep doing what they're doing.

Nintendo is a modern religion. Every awful decision they have made and will ever make will have more supporters than you can fully understand. We'll do the sensible thing and be drowned out by a sea of their loyal sycophants groomed from birth to worship them.

>>9949312
Ok so Nintendo shouldn't even try cuz anon isn't perfectly pleased. Got it.

>>9954481

I don't know anything about these shops. It sounds like Nintendo is behaving badly yeah, but why are you persisting in purchasing things that aren't worth their prices, and why are you hanging around with douchebags? You don't have to do any of that.

>>9957910

I heard of it when I rented it as a kid. Nintendo Power talked about it. It's not a rare game...

>>9963060
I rented it multiple times and even bought it when I found it on sale a few months after it's release. It's a great game. It had plenty of coverage and a magazine ad campaign. Thinking they put it on the service because of some e-celeb is some serious bubble shit.

i'll say it
if the switch 2 will have a proper virtual console where i can BUY retro games one by one without any subscription involved, i'll buy them

>>9961568
Rapid corporatization, same as what happened to America and resulted in the death of American pride. Nintendos only goal now is profits, which is why you get games like totk (botw 2) instead of weird creative sequels like majoras mask. The former sells better, so its the objectively correct choice if your goal is more cash.

>>9949296
Just buy a deck.

>>9962813
sent ;)
hopefully it works i haven't used a Nintendo online thing since splatoon

>>9963593
And put a little 'ick on it.

this month's games

>>9964970
That is probably the best month in ages
Also Japan is getting Super Baseball Simulator 1.000

>>9962813
I added you homie. Mupen64 is my name. I play mostly Mario Kart 8 and Borderlands 2.

>>9949296
I hate how much I like their front end and the Switch OLED's screen is fantastic. The CRT filter isn't half bad either. I fucking hate the dripfeeding and lack of in-game remapping though.

>>9964970
>Mystery Tower
Never heard of this one, is it good?
