Al Borland Corp. posted:I don't think Rare games are off the table. If Nintendo can work with Square and Konami for third party games on the other ones they can work with Microsoft. Microsoft definitely won't let that fly. Have we even got any Rare titles (that aren't DK games) on any VC storefront?

Microsoft put out a Diddy Kong Racing game and a Viva Pinata game on the DS. It's highly unlikely but not impossible. Don't ever expect Goldeneye though.

Microsoft and Nintendo are more friendly than in the past and Nintendo has done some unprecedented things in these mini console releases. I believe. Microsoft even included the Nintendo Switch in their E3 presentation. They aren't going to develop sure being Minecraft for Nintendo systems but I absolutely think they would take some royalties and free promotion of their brands and free good press for zero work.

Microsoft's a strange case, but when it comes to Minecraft they don't give a gently caress and will put it on anything because it constantly makes money. They've started to bring their other IPs to PC but except their biggest with all major Halo releases are surprisingly missing. Who knows though, if an N64 mini had the Rare classics then it'd be pretty amazing.

I'm curious to see what an N64 classic does with the analog sticks. They could fix them, but is an N64 without lovely analog sticks that have huge dead zones an N64...?

Also it's a dumb place to lodge that complaint. You're using what's ultimately an issue with the console to justify your lovely review of the companion app. If the app itself doesn't work as advertised, that's another story.

The whole idea for that setup is fascinating though. Like, someone came up with that hilariously convoluted setup for online chat and matchmaking, and several other people looked at it and saw nothing wrong with it.

Al Borland Corp. posted:Even without Rare, 20 games is doable. That's a pretty good list. There have essentially been 25 N64 games released on the Virtual Console across the Wii and Wii U. These are games that they have clearance to release and have worked out the emulation on: Bolded some missing from your list: 1080° Snowboarding Bomberman 64 Bomberman Hero Cruis'n USA Donkey Kong 64 Excitebike 64 F-Zero X Harvest Moon 64 Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Mario Golf Mario Kart 64 Mario Party 2 Mario Tennis Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber Paper Mario Pokémon Puzzle League Pokémon Snap Sin and Punishment Star Fox 64 Super Mario 64 Super Smash Bros. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Wave Race 64 Yoshi's Story Then there are those few rare notable games from Capcom and Konami that you threw in there since they have games on the SNES and NES classic, plus Pilotwings 64 which has lacked a VC release for some reason. I wonder if Midway would jump on board though for at least Mortal Kombat Trilogy. They made Cruis'n World, Quake 64, Doom 64, and then some licensed sports titles. I am also not clamoring to play any of those either though... I'd easily pay $200+ from a scalper to get a N64 classic if they found a way to bring those THQ WCW and WWF games to it.

It'd be really nice if the potential N64 classic had NFL Blitz and Gretzky but that'd never happen.

I don't think they'll want to include any games rated M. WCW or WWF would be so awesome, but unfortunately probably impossible. However the Japanese version could get Fire Pro.

It's just not convoluted at all. It's bad, but not convoluted. You open the app, tap the online users you want, and press invite. It's a lot of bad things, but it is not there least bit complex.

If they can tweak the app to be better (sleep mode still lets it function, ability to go to other apps) it won't be that big a deal. Hell I've sent in suggestions to them via feedback in the app about things I'd like to see in the app such as timelines of friends completing MyNintendo reward quests in certain games or large Splatoon victories to the ability to use an in app calendar to schedule a date and time to play for you and your friends that uses push notifications to remind you of upcoming events your scheduled for. poo poo like that would make the app feel more feature complete and more a online service then a VoIP replacement

We'll get the NESflix at the launch of Nintendo online, but no other consoles will be supported for some time. And NES games will not be individually purchasable for some time as well. These are just predictions of course. I don't have an uncle who works there. He was fired because his negligence caused the death of a construction worker.

It will take them so long to rebuild the library of VC games on the switch that by the time there is a decent amount of them I want they will surely be close to the Switch 2, which will also not carry over any VC titles either. At that point, I don't want to buy games for a console I don't use anymore. Kind of how I am not even bothering to follow the VC released on the Wii U anymore. Nintendo is run by idiots. Do they not realize how many VC games I bought when I got my Wii just because I wanted something to play?

They have reliable customers who will buy the next mini console and pay for VC games they already own on other systems. They don't even have to come up with excuses for it because some of those customers justify it to themselves and to others without hesitation.
