The Kins posted:Worth noting that the XBLA versions will be removed at the same time, too. Not that you'll be missing much what with the 3DS and mobile updates, but it's worth keeping in mind. Actually it is a bit of a thing, because the Wii VC versions are the only versions that have the Knuckles Lock-On features. It's not much, but it's still something unique to them.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Good news: Nintendo's announced adoption of the International Age Rating Coalition of game classification seems to finally be in effect, meaning indie devs can now get their games rated for several regions at once with far less paperwork at at a fraction of the cost of doing things individually. Nintendo still has individual lotchecks and language requirements for NA/PAL regions, so it doesn't guarantee simultaneous releases for every dev or every game, but it does mean you shouldn't have to worry about devs skipping/delaying releases in your region due to the cost of age rating for that region. And still Atlus will somehow manage to gently caress us all over.

Silver Falcon posted:No opinion on NES. Ehh, Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel are litigiously dicey, considering they have Microsoft versions and just got a fresh rerelease in the Rare Replay Collection on the XBone. It'd be nice, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those things where the answer is an outright no to even considering it. As for my own hopes N64 - Shake-Shakin' Mischief Makers. DS - Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. Just so it has an actual digital version out for people playing catch-up on the sequels.

MinibarMatchman posted:it's going to be death, because as a fellow HM64 lover I was crushed to learn that apparently HM64 is practically impossible to emulate and put on eshop... The entire gamete of getting N64 games to run on anything that isn't the actual console can be described as "tech issues"  . The simple truth is that for any console there are always going to be one or two titles that plain won't work on anything but the actual machine (for the forseeable future, at least), because they're either badly-coded or use some obscure aspect of the hardware just to do A Thing in the game's programming.

Any word on if that's true for the PAL version as well as the US? Also your image isn't working.

If you dont have an alternate SD card, delete the game and download a free demo of something from the eShop. It'll write to the same sectors of the card that way and then you'll have an idea as to whether or not its gone dodgy.

Saoshyant posted:I forgot the 3DS had that "Anime Channel" thing. Was placing some free pokemon badges when I spotted its icon, booted it out of curiosity since last I saw it had only Inazuma Eleven, Pokemon, and Kirby (and considering it's free, that's pretty cool). But now not only does it still have those, but it's got Heidi now. I kid you not, loving Heidi. Dubbed in my language of all things. This is so bizarre. Also, the connected eShop game is Mario 3. The 3DS is the weirdest console I have ever owned. Oh yeah, I forgot that thing existed. Had a look at the Australian one (no idea if EU has the same version) and we get 38 episodes of Pokemon: Advanced Challenge, 10 episodes of a Monster Hunter series, 51 episodes of Kirby, and 40 episodes of Pokemon Advanced. That's not bad for a free service.

ChaosArgate posted:For scope, probably the most accurate SNES emulator in existence right now is bSNES, which requires a 3 GHz processor to run. The SNES CPU is clocked at 3.58 MHz. Good emulation requires really, really good hardware and the 3DS is not up to snuff. You might be able to get something going on n3DS and homebrewers can definitely get GBA emulation working, but it's not great. I have no idea about the current state of homebrew GBA emulation on 3DS, but SNES emulation is a big game of "which of these two emulators run this game I want to play best," which is generally not a good sign. GBA games might be firmly in the maybe list with N3DS, but SNES games straight up wouldn't happen anyway due to the screen resolution being taller than the 3DS display. ChaosArgate posted:Emulation is an entirely different beast than running a port. With emulation, your hardware has to be good enough to emulate another system's CPU, sound and graphics hardware and sync them all up at the same time. That's a really tall order for a machine like the 3DS. Xenoblade wasn't actually possible til the n3DS and for both the ports of Xenoblade and DKCR, I imagine the engines for those games could be scaled down juuuust enough to run on the 3DS. Xenoblade and DKCR aren't cases of emulation either, they're ports. The studios got the games running on 3DS hardware properly, rather than convincing the games they're working a real Wii, no, really, they're working on real  .

JustJeff88 posted:I tried emulating Golden Eye and had really good results, I just eventually became very frustrated with the game itself. On the other hand, I tried Mario 64 and Gauntlet Legacy, and they both looked so horrid and broken that it genuinely frightened me. Each and every N64 game is programmed with a unique blend of insanity and despair. What works beautifully to emulate one title will make vast chunks of the rest of the N64's library likely poo poo the bed.

By all accounts they were very shoestring and a hard cough away from falling over. The virtual DS thing is kinda weird though, especially with digital 3DS games. Best guess I can manage is they don't have a Home button, so you would have to turn the console off to get out of the game and Nintendo doesnt like that.

The short of it is Sega doesnt care because it's all a sale for Sega. Nintendo cares, because it's a sale for Nintendo of Europe/Japan/USA and they each have a degree of autonomy. I think there's also some legal requirements for them to have the five major European languages too. Dunno if its legally mandated or a guideline though. That game version thing's different though, Nintendo games didnt vary wildly between regions the same way Sega's sometimes did (eg; Sonic CD).

The code is so garbled together with magic, pixie dust, and bandaids yet somehow somewhat works the way it was intended despite some game breaking bugs that it probably introduced some new strange amazing bug in the save system that was just too glorious for human consumption. I would not be at all surprised if it turned out that just loading a savestate caused Pokemon to poo poo the bed in some way.
