Nintendo Switch: Thread 09

[wakka]

All of my favourite videogames are really popular so I never get new ones. Mario Kart. GTA. Elder Scrolls. It's actually a serious bummer.

All I can say is thank god Mario games aren't at the same level of sales. We'd probably still be our 11th remaster of Galaxy 2.

This is Nintendo we're talking about.

That scenario may yet still happen!

Very good point.

Why don't we arrange some MK8 races?

Of course you'd pipe up.

Count. Me. Out.

I loved the intro to Mario Kart Wii online race, as the globe spun round to show you the location of the other people you would racing against.

Haven't even looked it at since 7 and 8 came out.

Unsure. Banjo was published by Nintendo. Perfect Dark was published by Rare themselves.

Cheers for answer. The Rare part worries me. Golden Eye too and the giant license that has. Like OutRun or GTA songs some licenses are a nightmare.

Data miners have found that there will be 38 N64 games in total coming to the service so you never know

I personally think that, Banjo-Kazooie aside, every other N64 game developed by Rare can be ruled out of ever coming to the Expansion Pack.

Considering how many months it takes them just to trickle a few random snes & nes roms you are going to be waiting YEARS for some of those N64 games to potentially drop. People expecting a pile of N64 games every month are going to be sadly disappointed the N64 library is too small to be able to do that you'll be lucky to get a couple a year.

38 is quite a lot of games, but as said above do worry how many will be Rare. Although I remember Donkey Kong stuff is on SNES and that is Rare. Not expecting this stuff anytime soon, think Nintendo will do the long haul on this.

Something else someone on a Podcast said hope they don’t charge extra for Game Boy, GC etc if they ever get in this service.

You do realise that DK isn't a Rare character/intellectual property, right?

TBF though, that probably means DK64 might well make the Expansion Pack!

Nintendo says they consider Switch to now be in the middle of its life. Good because Switch 2 anytime soon would be madness

The 2.4GHz M30 has some of the lowest input latency on offer with over a 90% same-frame input probability. I’m using a pair with my MiSTer, while also thinking about grabbing another pair just in case the company goes bust or decides to stop making them (which always happens with anything that’s actually good).

Just wanted to say that after this exchange I went and bought an M30 2.4g, which arrived yesterday. It's exactly what I hoped for when I got the BT version - all the build quality with a nice, snappy response not perceptibly different from the official Pro. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a Switch-compatible Saturn-style pad.

Great to hear. I’ve not tried mine in the Switch yet, but planning some 3P SoR4 tomorrow, so the pair of these will come in handy besides the Pro. Bonus points for providing a Sega feel.

I see this going down well with Nintendo.
