It's seriously blowing my mind the Switch has been out for months now and there's still no virtual console.
Like it's leaving money on the table. They need to release every VC game on the 3DS and Wii U and I guarantee you I'll rebuy them

The console clearly wasn't really finished, I'm sure they're working on it as hard as they can but same with online they didn't want to keep delaying Zelda and they wanted to push something out

I really hope they do something prettier with it then just a correctly-aspected box though.

The homebrew SNES emulator had skin around the actual game screen that was literally just a .png you put on the memory stick, and it looked so much nicer than the VC.

Virtual console really can't be a problem compared to say, getting Unity 5 and UE 4 working. It's stuff they'd have when doing hardware tests in development

I think it's very likely they'll want to tie VC to their subscription service, beyond the 'one game temporarily available' uh strategy. Exactly how is anyone's guess, but thinking it'd be hard for them to make some emulator stuff for their third ARM device is pretty naive imo

I can't believe how hard it still is to get a hold of this console. I figured I could wait until myexams are over and just walk into a store and buy a switch of the shelf but nope, the thing keeps selling out the morning when new shipments arrive.

Try out some fierce (and stretchy) competitive action with the ARMS™ Global Testpunch demo. You will be able to play it on certain days and times, so mark these deets on your calendar. Note that each play session will last for approximately one hour so don't miss out!

And if you like prepping ahead, you can download the ARMS demo right this very moment from the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch.

If you didn't participate in the Splatoon 1 or 2 testfires, its the same deal, where we only get a 1 hour window to play. Kinda sucks but them's the breaks, and it lets them stress-test the servers better that way.

The demo is only 1 hour so if you wanna play, download it now!

Detached joycons are absolutely ruining me. I'm sitting here, scrolling through the internet, actively thinking, Man, I gotta have my hand way out on a desk?

I should probably write a utility that lets me do basic browser navigation with a joycon. But that'd get awkward when I try to BoI during meetings...

Ahh yes, the unfinished game in Early Access is what you want to compare other games to in regards to performance.
