this is so misleading! When the Wii was out, the DS was simultaneously doing a lot of sales. Now there is just 1 Nintendo console. So apples and oranges
@Rayquaza2510 in all fairness the willful neglect crowd kind of needs to be there given the insane amount of negative publicity out there. If you Google “Nintendo Switch Online” you definitely get a series of headlines that WAAY overstates the bad-ness of the release. It’s definitely not perfect, but the media is treating it like a crime against humanity. I think you would have more cause to be annoyed if the coverage was reflective of the actual product.
@Mgalens now THAT I agree with. I sympathize with those that bought the service and found the differences to be disruptive or cheapen their experience. This being said, the amount of media pile-on based on an unknown (perhaps small?) % of people who are annoyed is a bit troubling to me.
@duffmmann ah! Great deductive reasoning there! I stand mostly corrected, though I'm 100% positive Banjo Tooie and DK Racing will be added due to demand
If any Nintendo Exes are reading this, let this be a PSA to PLEASE get Space Station Silicon Valley added to this list!
@duffmmann this is a great list! I would make a few tweaks
First, I feel these Rare games are near-certainties, as I suspect there was a package deal for most of their catalogue: 1) Diddy Kong Racing 2) Jet Force Gemini 3) Blast Corps 4) Banjo Tooie
This one is iffy as it's on X-box, but I still think it has a good shot: 1) Killer Instinct Gold
Probably not going to happen due to licensing issues: 1) Goldeneye 2) Mickey's Speedway USA
Probably not for...other reasons: 1) Conker's Bad Fur Day
I would LOVE to see Resident Evil 2...but is this just wishful thinking?
Curious why you put the Cruis'n games and Quest 64 on there as they were universally panned
I’m fine with it. I’m in a weird demographic that grew up w/ N64 and now does 100% everything mobile. This will be my first chance to ever play Banjo Kazooie (& presumably other Rare games) on the go, which I have wanted for 20 years. I’ll probably get way more hours out of this than a typical $60 game as well. For me, fair price. I get why others are complaining though
The big question is, does this include every variant of every game? For example, Trip World has 2 variants—Japanese and European. That would be impressive!
@Zverik the video was running off of Super Game Boy. There were hidden color features in the cartridge that appeared on SGB and not Game Boy Color, etc.

YES! I've been waiting for a Crash 4 sale like this. Hope it comes to the US...

Re: Video: MVG Takes A Closer Look At Nintendo's N64 Emulation And "What Went Wrong" Over The Years
@Rayquaza2510 and we now pretty much agree on everything! A rare debate where both sides come together. Take that internet!
Re: Video: MVG Takes A Closer Look At Nintendo's N64 Emulation And "What Went Wrong" Over The Years
@Rayquaza2510 you could be right. I still don’t think this situation is worthy of “most disliked announcement ever” though

Re: Rumour: Switch Online Datamine Uncovers Plans For "At Least" 38 N64 Games And 52 Sega Genesis Titles
Fingers crossed they will include the following that are ACTUALLY feasible!:
1) DK 64
2) Banjo Tooie
3) Jet Force Gemini
4) Diddy Kong Racing
5) Blast Corps
6) Space Station Silicon Valley
7) Hybrid Heaven
8) Mischief Makers
9) Resident Evil 2
10) Turok 2
11) Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
12) Rayman 2
Any of this wishful thinking? I know we probably will never get Goldeneye, Conker's Bad Fur Day, or WWF No Mercy
