Why in the world do you need the new 3DS for SNES emulation? Are they that taxing on the system?

Emulation needs lots of horsepower for accuracy. That said, the New 3DS is not powerful enough, but only serviceable.

Super NES games run decently on a PSP. I think Nintendo just wants a carrot for their NewStick.

Yup, if ten to twenty dropped frames a second on average count as decent, maybe.

The biggest stopping point for the new generation of consoles for me is backwards compatibility. Basically killed the ps4 for me because there is literally only one or two games I want to play.

I'm pretty sure theres alot more problems with the consoles today than that the N64 carts were so cheap they ran out of room to put the save games on the cart.

lol rambus

Also Donkey Kong 64, which required one not because the game "needed" it, it just crashed without one for a reason they never figured out, and including the memory pak was cheaper than fixing a bug apparently.

Didn't some of the bigger N64 game carts have some absurd manufacturing cost like $30 each or something? Meanwhile Sony could sell basically any game for :10bux:

Epic this. Well, I don't buy consoles on launch anyway, but now I will just not buy the initial version ever.

This is great, now we can sharktank three consoles simultaneously! That is a 300% increase in efficiency!

PS NEO is Sony jumping in.

Unless FROM makes a patch specifically for the PS4k to do specifically this, I wouldn't count on it. Even then, asking 60fps means it'll probably go sub-60 often.
