The funniest thing Nintendo could do at this point is have translated Mother 3 as an exclusive on a GBA mini that is only produced in small numbers for 6 months. (This won't happen)

I actually think this will happen now but we'd need a GB or GBC Classic first.

same, kinda tempted to get PTO and pick one up on launch, then get a sadbrain to pay $200-$300 for one while enjoying the benefits of being paid to wait in line for an already overpriced toy

I have had every SNES game in this bundle, as well as 100 others, on every single computer I have ever owned, as well as on the phone that is currently in my pocket (cue nerds being morally outraged in 3, 2, 1...), to think that people are willing to pay three digits for this crap is giving me one hell of a chubby y'all

I could fund most of a switch bundle if I can snag me one of these to flip!

I thought no emulator has done SuperFX emulation well, which is why Starfox / Starfox 2 / Yoshi's Island are so special.

Most did it fine and some people thought it was a rights issue. It'll be interesting to see how the emulation compares though.

hmm good question, I was never a huge fan of either but I remember playing Yoshi's Island a few years ago and it was fine, I doubt I cared enough to notice any issues to be fair

The thing with emulation is that it isn't going to be perfect but SNES is pretty good these days and while a few people are big on authentic replication, the shortcomings of emulators are mostly negligeble and easy to ignore for 95 percent of the population I'd wager

E: I did have a roommate who was obsessed with CRTs and proper retro gaming....it was bizarre and I thought it wasn't really worth the effort just to play some old rear end games in his perfect vision of "the real deal" but hey we each have our hobbies, eh?

I kinda grew up on a mix of emulators and actual retro consoles and can't tell the difference most of the time

I mean, old rear end versions of ZSNES had it running way too fast, but that may have been fixed. Higan/bsnes didn't have a problem with it, and Snes9x has gotten better about it.

As said, the issue with SuperFX games for a Nintendo emulator was believed to be a rights issue over the code used in the SuperFX chip, which was co-developed by the now-defunct Argonaut.

I have a Star Fox 2 repro cart. I like it a lot. So much that I'm the world record holder in 3 of the 4 speedrun categories, not that there's much competition.

Hopefully that'll change with this. And dammit, I gotta find one.

In my experience BSNES struggles with the SFX2 chip, which only Yoshi's Island, Star Fox 2, Doom, and Winter Gold uses. That's why I got Star Fox 2 on cart.

I'd pay for all of these games if they were on the Switch but I really don't care to have yet another electronic device that doesn't do anything outside of playing those games when I have two expensive pieces (laptop and Switch) that can do everything just as well if not better but Nintendo doesn't seem to care. It's pretty poo poo that the only official release of Starfox 2 might only ever release on this thing because Nintendo; but that'll probably drive the price right the gently caress up on the second hand market.

yeah I think it's better to regard these things as cute collector's items vs legitimate software offerings

the latter makes a lot more sense when you look at Nintendo as a toy company, can't beat a cute lil shrunk down SNES as an appealing gift to someone (provided you can actually get ahold of one lol)

Lately I've been into Getting Rid Of poo poo and it's nice to declutter every few months! This does mean that gaming and gaming accessories are the first to go because who honestly goes back to older games aside from a few exceptions, or for a few minutes to relieve some nostalgia? Youtube can honestly fill the latter pretty well, I've caught myself watching footage of random games while drinking and relaxing.

My backlog of new games is already unmanageable to begin with!

Have you tried the higan emulator? It's the most accurate one. And having just recently looked up info about it, the dev himself (byuu) said that he's been actively working on issues and resolving them quickly to very accurate levels. This is assuming that you're not just experiencing PC issues, I don't remember how intensive bsnes is.
