    Yarr Harr Fiddle Dee Dee…


    Seriously, fuck Nintendo. Constantly hiding their own games catalogue from people so they’ll pay more for the same game again on a new system. It’s fucking garbage business practice, and it’s moved to other industries now, with Warner Bros. deciding that putting stuff in a vault costs less than releasing it.

      …or bought a SteamDeck and used Yuzu or Ryujinx to pirate and play the same games, plus PC games.

      Source: Finished Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on my SteamDeck. The gyroscope in the SteamDeck was a killer feature for BOTW. Trying to solve the gyroscope puzzles in BOTW with a mouse was basically impossible.

        Do the Switch emulators have any way to do online play with friends who own an actual switch?

              Yes but the switch wouldn’t functionally be a switch anymore after the jail breaking. It depends on the version of the switch whether that’s even possible. There may also be a few games that won’t connect bc people haven’t done the work yet or it’s not even possible.

                I’m asking mostly because recently I was wondering about this loss functionality since I hacked my unit lol, it would be great to use something like custom servers… Just as if it was Wimmfi or the Pretendo project (that ain’t working yet AFAIK).

        How did they run? Totk chugged on my gen 1 switch

          TOTK had more areas where it slowed down a little, but I averaged 25-30fps most of the time, with shrines being more like 40fps.

            Honestly sounds better than my experience with the switch

      It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

    Silly jump to conclusions when it is more likely just repackaging things as “greatest hits” editions or something.

    Let’s see if it’s finally the Switch successor this time and not a less exciting reason that they do this.
