Shibawanko posted:i think most people nowadays go for a wireless 8bitdo controller with a snes adapter, i havent tried this myself but i heard it sometimes has connection/compatibility issues but its nice that its wireless so i might want to get this myself I have the SN30+ Pro and receivers for my NES and SNES and it works pretty well. When I first got it I had issues with phantom inputs but I picked it back up recently and it seems new firmware fixed the problem.

Reading about Nintendo related prices is why I started collecting SEGA stuff. Love the Big N too but there's no chance in hell I'm paying $1,000 for a system that looks like absolute dogshit on any modern TV and has maybe 10 games still worth playing today, especially with how hard it is to find a genuine N64 controller that isn't hosed these days. Seriously think the N64 aged the worst of all the big 90s consoles. On the bright side, the Goldeneye remaster leak got me to check out Xenia, which I didn't even know was A Thing heretofore, and it's glorious. Didn't think we'd ever see a working 360 emulator on PC.

Last I heard it’s because there’s almost no documentation on that bespoke GeForce 3 chipset.

How is 360 emulation as a whole? It it still in the early stages where it's popular games only? I'm suuuper close to just getting rid of mine because I can't be assed to pry it apart and fix the misbehaving disc tray. Kinda hoping it hangs in long enough for Ken's Rage 2 at least.

Laslow posted:I figured since Dolphin is very playable that it’d only be a matter of time since it’s also ATI/PPC. I just didn't think anyone would expend the massive effort because there are so few games you'd want to play on the 360 that aren't available on PC or elsewhere in some native format now.

Pretend I said "100%" and "worth playing" then, unless you want to play a demo for FIFA2014 or Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. But yes, you are right. It is more than a dozen XBLA games*.

It's just the N64's turn to hit that "exactly 25 years in the past" thing where 35-40 year olds who (theoretically) now have a semi-permanent place to live and more disposable income start buying back their childhood. In 5 years will we see $1000 Wiis?

Waltzing Along posted:What in the absolute gently caress? Did they forget to add a zero to those prices? No, that's about right for pricing at HardOff. They probably felt guilty about charging that much. I think GameCube is probably the end of the line for rocketing prices. By the time you hit the Wii, there's enough collectors and people buying as "investments" that there will be more than enough copies of anything desirable to go around.

The four or so N64 only games are games I love and they haven’t really been remade. But past that It is probably my least favorite Nintendo system (that I own!). So I will be buying the new digital out kit and an everdrive.

The N64 has some of my favorite games on it but it was a terrible system overall. Would be the worst Nintendo if the Virtual boy didn’t exist.

What is the ranking for "bad" Nintendo consoles? There's kinda two criteria: bad for you (at the time) and bad for Nintendo as a company.

Not as much because GameCube stuff isn't as common, of course. It just seems like all of the twenty year old stuff has been shooting up and I don't see it happewith the Wii or PS3.

Honestly, though, I liked the Gamecube and WiiU a lot. The N64 had a LOT of chaff. The Brawler64 really helps make it feel less jank, though.

Bad in retrospect: VB, N64, Wii, GC. In that order. The Wii U was a good console. Better than those other 4 certainly.
