DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values

gonna wait to see how weird it feels to play N64 games with the pro controller before I buy one of these. trying to think of games that demand an N64 controller besides the wrestling games which have no chance of coming to the service.

The N64 and Genesis expansion is only $50. Unreal. Trying to figure out if there's some way I could pay them double?

Just realized there's an $80 "Family Plan" mode I can do instead. That's at least a little more reasonable.

When do we get the N64 games on the Switch

We already did!



I know it's not what you really meant but I just had to give it a shout out because I bought it a few days ago and I can't believe how good it is. They did a really good job making the graphics nicer too and the controls are perfect.

Also I hope Nintendo doesn't restrict the number of n64 controllers you can buy with Switch Online. The limit for snes was 4 which was perfect but I think the limit for nes was 2. Hoping n64 controllers get the 4 maximum like the snes had.

lol i finished doing everything before reading that you cant use physical gamecube discs orz

i know how to find the isos but that sucks

It's still worth it, there's a program called Wiiu USB helper which is basically like a free shop on your PC that talks to your modded Wiiu. It would be a good idea to start doing it now before Nintendo shuts down their servers. It's a little tricky to set up and you need to use a Windows machine (no Mac support) but it's a great tool.

The interesting thing about the Wiiu is that it's completely capable of playing GameCube games because of the vWii (Virtual Wii) mode, it just simply doesn't have a disc drive that is capable of accepting the smaller GameCube discs. That's why you have to load them from isos.

If you do go that route, you will need two external hard drives. One for Wiiu games and one for Wii and GameCube games. What I find most convenient is having a USB cable going from the back of the WiiU to the front, and then I just plug in whichever I want to play; Wiiu or GC/Wii.

I know it's not as ideal as just putting in a GC game and playing but if you want the cheapest and easiest way to play GC games over HDMI, it's with a modded Wiiu.

Let me know if you need any help. Also when you boot into your Wiiu with the Wii/GC drive there's a nag telling you to format your drive. You simply click cancel but there's always a chance you or a friend or your kids might click "OK" so there's a pc program called UStealth that you run on your gc/wii hdd, the nag will go away.

One other piece of advice, if you "install" the GC game to the Wiiu home screen, you can play the GC game on the tablet with the controllers which is amazing. If you use the vWii iso method, you can see the game on the tablet but you need to use another controller to play the game off the tablet. The only downside to the "install" method is that the Wiiu home screen cannot accept more than 300 titles, so if you have a ton of Wiiu and GC games, you could potentially run out of room. With the hard drive method there's no limit.

Let me know if you need any more help with any of this.

Oh ok it looks like the n64 controller is 4 per person which is great (unfortunately it sold out already). Also it has the expansion port even though rumble is built into the controller now. I guess for the memory cards that no one used?

Also I noticed on the Genesis controller that there's a "mode" button which is really weird because that was meant for the 6 button controller for compatibility with certain other games that freaked out when you used the 6 button controller. I wonder what the button is going to do?

Also I just found out in Japan they did a Famicom one for their Switch online:



Apparently the microphone actually works, too!

Gonna get them and hook them up to my real NES and try to kill the Pols Voice with them and report back

I never got the point of them since the console used cartridges and that was supposed to be one of the benefits (not needing a memory card)? What was it used for other than ghost data in Mario Kart?
