@Willo567 No way, play the way you want to play, if you want authentic ROMS are the way to go. I never said don't support anyone but at the end of the day play it any way you can.
I don't want a pro, no one does. We want a fully backwards compatible next generation Switch. It is coming undoubtedly but hopefully they announce it in June.
@CharlieGirl We plan on doing at least one decently big free DLC with our game we are developing after release. I agree, these huge publishers abuse the market big time.
Well since Lynel monsters only appear in one Zelda timeline it means this is in the Link to the Past timeline. That being said if you played Link to the Past there is a lot of green cyclops statues in the dungeons and one of which is seen in the trailer for BotW2 and appears to communicate with Link. My best guess is that is some even more ancient technology that link can now communicate/activate via his arm, also it enhances him so he can use stronger versions of the Sheikah slate abilities, and in fact the arm itself could be the Sheikah slate transformed somehow.
Light Crusader is pretty good too, It is often overlooked but it's quite fun and challenging. You may need a guide for some parts because it is a little crypted at times but a must play.
@Vyacheslav333 Yes it has that style of vibe, there's no real color depth limitation I am imposing on myself. I have one of the main characters already mostly sprited, I designed and a few enemies and bunch of abilities and sprited them already. About 9 months into development now.
@CharlieGirl I'm making a metroidvania that is inspired by ghouls n' ghosts and demons crest/quest as well as a few others. It's 16/32 bit style. I'm hoping to be able to unveil it the people in the next like year or so.
@Z-Core I hacked my majora's mask 3DS, totally worth it. The newest versions of the hack allows you to play DS roms natively off the system. Though the 3DS itself is super uncomfortable to hold for more than like 20 minutes when you have huge hands like mine so I just emulate now.
@theGamerPad The base Steam Deck is about the same price as the Switch OLED in Canada, and the Switch Lite doesn't count as it is incomplete and missing the only feature that made it a "Switch" and most people getting a Switch now are going with the OLED over the base. Also a lot of testing has been done and there is no great significance to in having an SSD vs SD card for storage on the Steam Deck so unless you feel the need for less glare the base model is the way to go bringing the price right in-line with the Switch OLED pricing. Valve planned this pretty well over all.
@Specter_of-the_OLED Well it was a comparison to how advanced mobile chipsets are getting, I am excited to see what SoC is in the Switch 2, supposedly it is fully custom and nvidia is working with them to build it. My guess is they are going to have the newest dlss twch or a custom version of it to push 4k.
@Troll_Decimator I still own a lot of physical games and systems (at least 20k worth of retro stuff if not more), but I also have a bunch of external drives with everything I could want from software to media that will serve me until I die. Honestly though unless someone is re-selling your products no one should care as most people value the people who made those products not the corporations pumping out half assed emulated messes they claim as remasters, entertainment media is art and meant to be experienced and enjoyed so enjoy it how ever you can, end of story.
@sixrings Steam Deck emulates Switch better than Switch plays it's own games, unless one of your Switch's is hacked and overclocked like one of mine is lol. We are already at the point where Nintendo needs to make a move into the next generation. I don't plan on buying anything new from Nintendo for at least a year but I sure will be playing Kirby and getting those new tracks in MK8 regardless.
It is pretty simple, if you refuse to support your hardware platform and those games are not available to purchase in another form they should become public domain after like 5 years, screw the corporations hiding behind archaic copyright laws.

Re: Keep Calm, But Square Enix Has Trademarked 'Tactics Ogre: Reborn' In Japan
I much prefer March of the Black Queen but a Tactics will do.
Re: Random: Where's Ms. Pac-Man in Pac-Land?
Just get some ROMS already. It is a non-issue, these companies are mega rich, let them sweat.
Re: Switch Online SNES And Sega Genesis Wireless Controllers Are Back In Stock (North America)
@KayFiOS 8bitdo M30 is the way to go if you are doing emulation 100%. 3 buttons won't cut it.
Re: Switch Online SNES And Sega Genesis Wireless Controllers Are Back In Stock (North America)
@abdias It feels close enough, 8bitdo is the way to go if you want to use it on more systems and with emulation and in that regard it is better.
It is a shame Nintendo aren't focusing on making more n64 controllers instead of these ones though.

Re: Toaplan's Coin-Op Classic 'Snow Bros.' Is Coming To Switch This May

This game is sweet! I haven't finished it yet but I plan to finish it to get my next free month of Gamepass.

It will be cross generation with the Switch 2.0 which will be announced in June.
Re: Tributes Pour In For 'Coffee Talk' Developer Fahmi

Re: Video: Switch Online Could Learn A Lot From Xbox Game Pass
@carlos82 No, if you pay for a year you should keep anything that releases, they are literally roms lol.

@nhSnork Well my hands are quite big too so that probably does't help.
Re: Feature: 5 Accessibility Features That Every Game Should Have
Most of those things are just standardized things that are in most games anyway. I'll keep thought of that towards the end of development of my game.
Re: Random: Build Your Own Nintendo DS With Joy-Cons And A Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
@nhSnork The actual 3DS and original DS are horrible to hold in your hands for more than 30 minutes, it causes hand cramps and all kinds of pain.

Re: Black Isle Studios Is Bringing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II To Switch In 2022
Second one was way better for sure.
Re: Soapbox: Why Can't Nintendo Offer Both Virtual Console And Switch Online?
Well, as emulation and ROMS are never goong anywhere. Enjoy these old games which ever way you want to.
