God, 324 comments! The righteous NL fanboys are out in force I see! π
My opinion? Pirate as much as you like! Nintendo can't stop it, simple Google search and you can find everything again to download. I'm not gonna stop, even if I have all consoles going back to the NES.
Yeah, the fact my switch screen broke last week, hadn't turned it on in a month, very careful with all my electronics, and it's out of warranty now cause it's a launch system, Switch online is a pass from me. But to be fair, I never play online.
Guess I'll just wait for a revision to be announced. I think it might be a loose ribbon cable or something, don't wanna open it up and find out just yet.
@nonprophetmusic sure we only need to add a few games at a time π. Looking forward to this. And if it can play Dreamcast, that would be incredible, Saturn too maybe.
Edit: so if there is a usb that means we can use 8bitdo usb connector and link a PS3/4 controller? Thumb sticks are a-go!
I'm sure it's been said a few times already here but, GAMECUBE! GameCube games, get them on a VC type thing on the Switch, charge β¬10 for each game if you sign up to Online. A higher price if you don't!!!
Jesus Christ Nintendo, GameCube games! What's wrong with you!? NES games!? That I can play on my fridge!? For free? (SNES new mini, raspberry pi, phone, 3ds, Psp,GBA, etc...) Rolls eyes to the back of my spine!
Interesting! Never played these before cause I'm not a fan of sitting at my pc with mouse. I may give this a go on Switch, if the price is right of course.
@SpeedRunRocks you're first time with the Saturn too? Can't wait to get mine. Never had one before. And yes, I've fallen down the rabbits hole this weekend too, researching everything about it. I ordered a 3d controller from Japan, was only 30euro but happy to have that on its way too.
@SimplyCinnamon53 cool! I'm thinking of doing a blacklit mod on my original GBA this week. Also, just bought a Saturn last week. Waiting on it to arrive soon #excited!
I've noticed YouTube folk pointing this out over the past few weeks. Mad that it was never noticed isn't it lol.
I started opening, cleaning and repairing my controllers a few years back, didn't know it was so easy, even just cleaning them. Since then, I'm very skeptical on buying different coloured controllers now, cause they are all the same, but cost a fortune to buy a different colour housing, so I just buy housing where I can for a change. Unless I ABSOLUTELY need a new or second controller. Looking at you Xbox one controllers π
@BlueformFactor Yeah I know. Also doesn't help that my username on PSN has some block on my PS4 pro. Was hacked two years ago and my PayPal account was blocked along with all my cards, been onto PS support loads of times about it to get it all fixed up, no help. So I gave up, and in turn I miss a lot of vr games and sales.
I decided last year, they clearly don't want my money at all, so I just stopped using playstation except for 1 or 2 physical games per year.
Same situation on my PS3. It's a pity.
When I get a ps5 in the next few years, I'll make a new user name and start from the beginning again.
Past few years have left a nasty taste in my mouth with them sadly.
@Damo yeah I'm getting it just to see how it works. Could be lucky, or it could be a turd. I'll let yous know if and when it arrives if it's worth the time of day.
@nintendolife did you guys get one of the android Bluetooth wireless Sega Saturn controllers from Sega yet? They work with Android but I am hoping they work on PC via Bluetooth also.
Will you be reviewing it at all? I ordered mine weeks ago and it was released on Tuesday just gone, but it seems I got my order in with Amazon a bit too late as they are waiting for more stock. Did yous get one? Or even hear about it?
God, theres a hell of a lot of GameCube controllers out there now.
But yet none are like the wavebird. Most people don't care about the tiny tiny teeny tiny lag with controllers which to be honest, doesn't exist now like it did maybe 15 years ago.
I have ROMs/ISOs, but as others have said, if Nintendo bring GameCube games to the switch at β¬10 each I would buy the hell outta those. But, we all know they will be more than β¬10 each, since it's Nintendo... I'd still buy them, cause I'm a sucker for games, lol.
Why are people so salty about ROMs that no companies release on systems anymore? For decades!
Gaming is now THE biggest money maker in the entertainment business. Bigger than movies.
I mean, I use ROMs, don't give a [removed] what people think, but when they were on the Wii/WiiU I bought a them as well.
But my god, there is MILLIONS of games going back decades that will NEVER see the light of day, unless, you're willing to pay some no-body β¬1000 just for one physical game (more power to you). But I'll stick with buying games for my PS4, Switch, and XBO.
@shaneoh same, never heard of them either, thought it was gonna be one of the ACTUAL big ones that people go to all the time. Emupar..... Is on that springs to mind.

Re: Switch Has Been The Best-Selling Console In Japan For Six Months, Almost 5 Million Units Sold
@SimplyCinnamon53 I do love my Dreamcast, but I've had it for years. Saturn is SO new to me so I just can't say yet.

Re: Rumour: A Hidden VR Settings Menu Appears To Have Been Found On Switch
I feel like VR is kinda done, on consoles at least. I hear VR is doing 'ok' to good on PC.
I have the PSVR, I never use it. Only used it for RE7 tbh.
