PSN only gets PS1/PS2 classics (which dont work with PS4 yet) when a third party decides to care like From Software, because Sony definitely doesnt give one, two, or even three fucks My problem with eShop is that Nintendo trickles their own stuff out over such a long period of time. it'll all get there eventually but the waiting is the worst part. With PSN I have no expectations of ever seeing a PS2 title I want show up. Steambot Chronicles aint showing up there, Shadow Hearts aint.

I'm more thinking about Nintendo DS and Wii Classics, in the latter's case there's no reason why Nintendo should make people wait months for new ones when they have so many to put up from their own catalog. With NDS I can maybe think there's emulation issues to work out per title. But gimme them Wii Classics!!!

And some GameCube classics for fucks sake since we know it's completely compatible and they could even patch on controller support easily, is already been done.

I said come in! posted:My bad! I wasn't aware of that. Does it download stuff in the background while sleeping? I don't think my Wii U has ever done that, but maybe I have a setting turned off. If your Wii U hasn't been sleeping with you for a year now it might be time for counseling.

It's really just a matter of priorities for them. http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/07/02/nintendo-explains-why-every-old-title-isnt-on-virtual-console/ They have to put a person in charge of porting each game to VC, checking to make sure it plays without any glitches, etc. They essentially have to re-playtest every game to put it on VC.

Not to mention that they can't just play the game to the end and call it a day, they have to go through trying to break it in every conceivable way possible to make sure it's stable.

Ah yes, "does it launch," an aspect of a game that should definitely be rushed and not thoroughly tested.

It's already been tested by the fact that, to my knowledge, there aren't any Wii discs that the WiiU cannot play.

It's not an emulator so. There's nothing to test. What they do have to do is put up screenshots, a trailer, the manual, etc. So maybe that's beyond their effort level.

Please don't work in QA. On the other hand, do, so I don't have to fix any bugs (since they haven't been found). We'll just fix it in a patch after launch.

PS2 Classics are magnitudes harder to put out than Wii games on WiiU, and there are actually more than 10 of those. e: Even though it's more effort than just plopping them in the eShop with no QA, other companies manage much more complex porting jobs with greater speed and quantity of releases. It's just down to VC related stuff being a very low priority for Nintendo. Motto fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Sep 20, 2015 |

Anytime you make change to any code, including new code to load an iso and support a new peripheral as an emulation of an older one, you run the risk of having issues. As Andipossess said, do not work in QA. The reason QA exists is to stop people who think like you from letting code be implemented.

Was anything said about Zelda at TGS? What happened to that game other then it got pushed to 2016? It sounds like the delay is significant, like late 2016. I was expecting it would be sometime in the winter or spring, in which case we should have seen something new by now.

I was expecting it would be sometime in the winter or spring, in which case we should have seen something new by now. Nintendo is never at TGS. And it was delayed because the Zelda team hasn't been able to keep a schedule for three generations now, and this is their first attempt at a true 3D open world on top of that.

Plenty of AAA publishers are doing just fine without QA, I'm sure Nintendo can get away with it as well.

Motto posted:PS2 Classics are magnitudes harder to put out than Wii games on WiiU, and there are actually more than 10 of those. If you mean more recent titles getting ports and updates, that's due to the rise of middleware engines in the mid-00's. All they (mostly) need to do is compile it in the PS4/Xbone/PC version of the same engine (or at least the latest version of) and it'll stand a pretty decent chance of running without making GBS threads the bed immediately. Older games are coded on engines made specifically for those games and specifically for the console hardware they're released on, so the console's hardware has to be emulated on top of the game itself. It's not as bad for 8/16-bit 2D games (all that matters in the end is pixels on a screen after all), but early 3D is a geometrically more complex problem.

and nintendo especially is constantly altering their technology, modifying it or replacing bits and pieces. Most of the Wii U at its core uses similar stuff to GameCube, which was overclocked and became a Wii, then the Wii U just overclocks the Wii even further by putting a giant cooling unit inside.
