The excitment next year for Steam Deck should be through the roof! That handheld can play even more roms and decade old PC games!

That's a decent point, if you're thinking of getting a Deck when they come out and want some MD goodness on the go. Steam's Mega Drive Collection is £5.98 at the moment and you get all of these:Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post

Comparing an emulator to an official product made by Nintendo and saying it "runs flawlessly" when its clearly doesn't, is what then? I'm sorry but i don't buy that it being easier to set up either on Nintendo its one app that sits on your home screen that periodically adds new stuff. Retroarch requires a massive amount of peeing about to get it on the xbox, you have to put your xbox into developer mode and ftp the app over via a pc then theirs the issue of sourcing and downloading and transferring roms to your xbox.Originally posted by randombs View PostComment

IIRC a version of KOTOR that runs on modern hardware is already available on Steam, this Switch version is just a port of that.Originally posted by Cepp View PostComment

For cool guys like me, all that stuff you described takes mere minutes.
So, yes, I’d say it’s easier than clicking a stupid red square on a screen with ZERO organisation options available.
Apples and oranges.Comment

Yeah; the original game doesn't like modern hardware, but there's been a reworked version around for about ~8 years now - it was the same one they released on mobile phones. Essentially the same game with no changes, just works properly on modern hardware (and might fix a few very minor bugs).Originally posted by briareos_kerensky View PostComment

Only just caught up with it all i can sum it up in one word MEH. Nothing to really get me frothing to preorder and N64 stuff at a higher sub premium is laughable as N64 is one of the weakest consoles that they released not something i'm gagging to go back to in the slightest it's aged so poorly compared to pretty much every other console out there hell even PS1 is still way more pleasant than the 64 stuff & i say that as someone who has a extensive jpn collection including that N64DD the selection of games is dire for 3rd party, i really wouldn't want to go back to any of them nowadays the only thing that could possibly tempt me is if they upped the framerates drastically so stuff like banjo wasn't a syrupfest when it's moving. Apart from that i pretty much have every nintendo release & worthwhile 3rd party release for it and i haven't been back to it in years it all sits in the kitchen cupboard in stasis.
What does interest me is that animal crossing october direct the fact they are doing a direct specifically for that game makes me hold out hope they have something of actual substance to finally announce, the support for the past few months has been appauling with barely anything added which is why i haven't even booted it in months. Some new cards to add in the exclusive villagers or even 7-11 to pull their finger out & do a collaboration to bring the conveni set to new horizions would get me excited again.Comment

yeah the jpn md mini got the 6 button pad the west got the 3 button one.Comment

The 6 button pad is such a step up, the 3 button pad is garbage. I know its probably due to nostalgia but its a shame they always use the latter in the west.Comment

Ouch. Don't think I deserved that one but okOriginally posted by Lebowski View Post
If you're going to get all purist about it, yes it's emulation and no it's not as good as the real thing but... If perfect isn't the entirely accurate observation let's reduce that to, it's really good and it's also really bloody easy to setup.
I've mostly played Wii and PS1 titles to be fair but what I've tried of the N64 has run well enough for me to know I really don't need to dip into what Nintendo is offering here... Particularly if it's actually just emulation being used for their service.
Anyway, I'll modify my original statement if it annoys you but the main point remains.Comment

For me this event was...eh. On the one hand there were some surprises, which is nice. I found the recent Sony show a snorefest because it was all stuff I knew about.
On the other those surprises were a Kirby game, an Actraiser remaster, and Chris Pratt as Mario. So. Lord Miyamoto giveth, and Lord Miyamoto taketh away.
I will say that I'll probably sub to the N64/Megadrive service once they bring Waverace to it
