Nintendo online is the single most jewish thing since xbox first gave everyone the idea with live, even meme pass is just a bunch of games you can buy normally at any time, I'd never touch this garbage on principle, even if the emulation was spectacular

[Anonymous No.11013453]

The emulation on the Megaman Gameboy games appears to be better than the emulation in Capcom's own collection, which has massive input lag. I know when I played Megaman 4 on real hardware a year or so ago at a friend's place, having mostly been playing it on the collection, I breezed through it. It was like taking off the training weights.

I actually have friends and family so we all go in on the NSO + EP. I pay like 11 bucks a year for it. The NSO isn't perfect but it's convenient so it gets a lot of play from me. The Pro Controller does sort of suck and I do not think the N64 emulation is very good but I don't really like N64 games anyway so it's not a huge loss. I played Super Mario Bros 3 start to finish on a cross country flight a year or so ago and it was like the realization of some childhood dream.
I can't believe people think the VC, with paying 5 bucks for some piece of shit like Wrecking Crew is superior.
I'm about to play through the 5 GB Mega Man games they just put on there. I also just finished Fire N Ice which is perfect for a service like this. It's a game you can rewind but you don't really feel like you're cheating when you do so.

I'm also playing the MM games and I'm shocked at how good they are. Well, 1 falls apart at Wily's castle and 2 is just a watered down version of the originals with terrible music, but other than that they're full of good ideas and tight level design. They even fixed some of the worst weapons, like spark shock can be used to block an enemies and switched with another weapon to finish him.

No it isn’t.
Emulators are legal, but emulating games is illegal when it’s downloaded from the internet, which is considered piracy – you can flash ROMs legally if you own a physical copy of the game.
Paying for Nintendo Switch Online makes it legal to emulate video games on the Switch because Nintendo owns the license to those games.

I think both stages are ok but having to beat the whole stage in case you get a game over (which usually happens when you reach the boss) makes them more annoying than they should, but that's a common thing with Megaman games imo.
Game still is too stingy with health pickups.

I don't really play them unless I am extremely bored or I don't have time for an Splatoon session. I leave the emulation for the Steam Deck and the RG351V.

Still, I played Super Mario Land on the NSO emulator, and it's definitely more responsive than the RG351V with the gambatte core. It's barebones emulation, but at least they got the controls right.

The only real inconvenience for setting up emulation yourself is just that - the one time setup. After that, you’re off to the races. I could see some total normalfag googling “free games” once or twice and tapping out when presented with sites that “look sketchy” and more than one option for emulators per certain systems, but if you spend any considerable amount of timing playing games (or would find yourself on this site, and this board especially) I just can’t understand what NSO would be offering you compared to that.

Props to Nintendo for re-scanning every frame and upscaling it to 4K, they went frame by frame and did it by hand, forgoing the latest trends and techniques for a more classic approach. They took the effort to color grade and color correct (those 4 gameboy colors) for maximum authenticity. They also re-mastered the soundtrack with a tiny orchestra which they handed instruments made of 8-bit chips.

I actually like that. If you slap a joycon strap on them they make for good Mario Kart 8 Deluxe controllers because they have all the buttons you need to actually play. It also makes them more usable for retro inspired games like Shovel Knight, since a lot of those use just A/B for face buttons but then also have some random shit mapped to a shoulder button. I probably use the NES controller more than the SNES controller.

I beat Perfect Dark on special agent the last two days (using the N64 controller). Got lots of gold medals on shooting range, beat challenges. Did not notice any input lag.

What I didn’t like is the ROM assumes you used the transfer pak, so a lot of the hardest cheats are unlocked right away. I found this really disappointed as I would’ve liked to grind for those.

Also maybe it’s just been awhile but I feel like the enemy AI is way weirder than normal. So many times I saw an enemy open the door and then run in the other direction

I've been having a blast with it (with re-mapped controls so it feels like a modern FPS) and the only issue I have is the same one I had with Goldeneye, and that's stick sensitivity. But that's just because of the modern joystick vs the N64's more precise one.

One easy spot to find the audio slow down is on the entrance to Cassandra's office, if the guards start shooting at you there game starts to lag (more if you look down).
The stick sensitivity I think it might be game dependant, I don't remember it being that bad in NSO Goldeneye and even in Turok it seems fine.
As for the dizzyness, the thing is unlike the N64 version the dizzy effect is much stronger on NSO and can even freeze the screen:

Imagine opening the online store and seeing Japanese exclusive gameboy and NES games now available because it's ten times more convenient to publishers than relying on remasters and remakes. Imagine not needing to give a shit about scalpers or inflated physical prices because the same game is already avaliable digitally. Imagine that one obscure game you like suddenly getting a cult following because someone randomly bought it during a sale and they're now talking about it.

I've been using ROMs so long, the ROM sets I still use and give out have files copied from a download from before I went throughpuberty. I'm not opposed to emulation.
Nintendo will always do what they want regardless of how you support them or how you try to vote with your money. I thought including NES Metroid with Metroid Zero Mission was great, I'd have gladly bought more remakes like that. Instead, the next year Nintendo was publishing $20 carts with Metroid even though ZM was $30 and included the original game and remake. Same with stuff they stuck in Animal Crossing or were selling as $5 e-reader cards or giving as free downloads for the one demo disk they made for Game Cube(Dr. Mario). Suddenly in 04 they decided NES games were worth many times more than what they had sold them for.
If Nintendo wants to sell a $50 collection of NES Mario games, they will.
I got Nintendo Online so I can play online with friends and family, simple as that. the emulation is a bonus. And frankly the convenience is worth the price.

Nintendo found out with the Wii U that nobody wanted to rebuy all the games they had already bought on the Wii; even if it was for a single dollar. They weren't going to bother and most third party companies realized they could just release their old games by themselves. The only reason why Nintendo take so damn long to release their own games is because they know people would have stopped playing NSO the day it came out if it was loaded with all their first party shit.
