So, what are the Genesis games they're adding this month?

Uhh Genesis is a SEGA console. This is the Nintendo Switch thread.

Paper Mario is one of the best games of that console generation. I think I still rate it higher that the mythical TTYD even. While the 2nd game was definitely better mechanically with battle and navigation and stuff I just find the I enjoy the world and story beats of the original more. Crystal Palace and Bowser's Castle make for an incredible end game stretch that TTYD just doesn't quite match.

DR FRASIER KRANG posted:Paper Mario is a pretty good game and probably a good pick to offer since it's one of the titles that seems to be a pain in the rear end to faithfully emulate. You mean via the Virtual Console which you paid for and downloaded during the limited window when it was available and have not uninstalled since, I assume. Anything else is a crime.

you'd think they could've at least thrown Sega a few bucks to put Sonic 1 or Altered Beast or something up at the same time lol Paper Mario owns though and everyone that hasn't played it before is in for a treat

The first time I played paper Mario was when I figured out RPGs could be more than just menu selecting. Then my friend showed me Tales of Phantasia and it blew my drat brain.

Adding altered beast at the same time as Paper Mario wouldn’t be doing the Mega Drive any favours.

Detective No. 27 posted:True, the emulation approach did change with the Wii U. The quality of the emulation dropped across the board for everything on that system. Something must have changed at Nintendo, that was a cursed time and console. Wii U was a great Nintendo. It could play Wii, Wii U, NES, SNES, GBA, GB, and (modded) Gamecube games. I also got a bunch of free games from random promotions because the system sold poorly, so that was nice. RIP Club Nintendo and whatever the program was that gave discounts if you got the model with the bigger hd. edit: I think you might be able to play all Nintendo console/portable games if you have access to a Switch, 3DS, modded Wii U, and Virtual Boy.

If anyone was feeling disappointed by NOA offering 3 button Genesis/Mega Drive controllers instead of the 6 ones, don’t be. I have both since I’m bad with money and I actually prefer the 3 button one. The 6 button is tiny in comparison and the cramped little buttons don’t feel as good as the big clicky ones on the 3. Luckily the store I bought it from on eBay accepts refunds.

Altered beast is one of the top 5 games of my childhood alongside Michael Jackson's moonwalker and Dr robotniks mean bean machine. Anyway I have to go to one of my three therapists, later

I was going to say that at least the music slaps but then I realised I was thinking of the Golden Axe theme and that "wise from your grave" is the only sound I actually remember from Altered Beast

I unironically loved altered beast as a lad and haven't played it since but I can still remember how bad the loving sound for that game was. It was very ambitious for the time and failed miserably.

If Altered Beast had to stumble for Golden Axe and Streets of Rage to shine, then so be it.

Got back in to playing MonHun Rise. The hunting horn really is the best drat weapon for group play and is much easier to use than expected. Now if only the game didn't absolutely chew through battery...

Detective No. 27 posted:I'm all for a quality over quantity approach. But it would be a lot better if they let you purchase the games individually rather than the weird rental service approach. Gamepass or PS+ this ain't. You're probably right but I like seeing all these old games. The N64 games are certainly meatier and I could see myself replaying a few, if ever I get it, but those are still the ones I would pay to buy individually. Something like Winback, good or not, is something I'd probably pop in for a laugh for a half hour or so, like many of the NES/SNES games that aren't the big IP's. It's nice to be able to try them is what I'm trying to say.

Oxxidation posted:paper mario is also bizarrely difficult to emulate through other means so curious to see how this version turns out Even though the Wii VC was one of the better official N64 emulators, it still had some issues like not rendering certain text properly. So yeah, wondering how this version turns out as well. Seems to not play nicely with emulators in general without a bunch of outside fixes. Takoluka posted:how is one game at a time a problem Detective No. 27 posted:They're not free games, the service costs an extra $30 a year. Adding only one game after nearly two months of radio silence is a bad value. The original NSO Expansion trailer made it seem like they'd be dropping at least a few games in the next wave. The NES and SNES drops at least gave a few in their initial waves. While the N64 library is pretty barren, yeah a massive drip feed just really heavily punishes early adopters since it's a subscription service. Remains to be seen if they keep up the 1 month pace but yeah given that $50 for this is already a pretty shoddy deal for a good buncha folks, them being kinda peeved is understandable I would say. This isn't a free service.

Imagine Netflix releasing a single new movie per year lol. A drip feed is fine for bonus content, but if they are charging and extra fee on top I should be able to play every Nintendo game ever produced

Get a switch and play some of the most joyful games of the last few years.

It's funny in the trailer they put out for Paper Mario they show zero dialogue. It's all action, even the bits from combat are cut just to show Mario jumping on things. They really are ashamed that these used to be RPGs.

I was never a big star fox guy, but I kind of liked the one on the SNES when I'd get to play it. I've never even really touched the 64 version, but I'm hearing that... it's awesome? Now that I've beaten OoT, I think that this might be the next game I delve deep into. Can't wait!

dr.acula posted:It's this. Doesn't work that way; What was made for the Wii and WiiU were coded and optimized specifically for their architecture. Nevermind the 3DS and all that involves. There's literally no way to get the Virtual Console games from those to the Switch other than rebuilding them from scratch in a new emulator like they have.

They really are ashamed that these used to be RPGs. JRPGs are a genre where input delay isn't usually too big of an issue since the battles are turn hased. So it's also funny that the one big JRPG N64 has relies on quick timing button and is very prone to input delay.

Wow nintendo sucks at emulators then because hackers managed to port over tons of emulators to the Switch quite easily. You don't need to port every single game, once you get the emulator running they all work. Especially simple systems like the NES: https://switchbrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_Applications
