I don't think it's confirmed either way. It's just worded that way to let people know that the frame rate doesn't dip during local multi. We'll just have to wait and see.

Also you don't have to buy the gently caress out of it it's on Game Pass.

im gonna buy the gently caress out of it.

Blog post on Goldeneye, with Screenshots. Uses the original N64 artwork, not the cancelled HD remaster art. Available on Game Pass and free for all Rare Replay owners. No mention of online play, weirdly.

isn't the online play in Nintendo online kind of "through the emulator", maybe it would have required more effort on the FailBox.

Yeah, every game on NSO has online play. Even the single player ones (for passing the "controller" around). It's not very good online play, but it's there.

I'd say no. The last great FM was 4 imo. I have some hope for the new one but who knows...
What's wrong with the newer ones? I only played the Xbox 360 games, so I wasn't aware the Xbone Forzas were considered not worth playing (anymore).

Seems like the Switch one only has multiplayer because the N64 app conveniently has online functionality built in, doesn’t seem like they want to put effort into implementing it into the actual game so XBOX stays losing

gently caress, I thought it was gonna be the cancelled 360 version but upscaled. Hope the controls are good at least.

Rare decided that only Nintendo could provide the robust online infrastructure needed for such an endeavor.

Turn-10 really scaled back on the car customization and simulation aspects, the parts that people really enjoyed about Forza to begin with. Every car automatically being the same performance point was a really confusing decision. Repeating the same car roster every time, and nothing new really being added in the DLC, on top of less cars each time.

My completely made up but also probably true account of the events.

Microsoft had the remaster ready to go and they were working on a joint deal to get versions of Goldeneye available on both platforms. Nintendo said no you can't release a version of the game that looks way better than our old 1997 N64 ROM that would make our service look bad, if you want to put it out it has to look the same. So Microsoft made a team of 2 people slap together an N64 emulator for Xbox that upscales to 4K and threw it in the Rare Replay collection instead of giving it its own fanfare release. All Switch N64 games have online natively via the emulator, and Microsoft was probably too lazy to figure out how to make it work for just one title. The end.

That game is great. It's just the right size and does really smart things to not make subsequent plays a chore. Everyone should check it out.

It honestly hasn't aged that well, except for maybe the multiplayer. But its been the forbidden game for decades now due to terrible licensing issues, and Xbox 360 was originally suppose to get a complete remake, it was literally finished except for the multiplayer portion, and then canceled.

Yah I find any games I am nostalgic for don't live up to the memories if I replay them, even remastered ones, so I never bother with those. That's just me though I'm sure lots of folks like em!

Do you mean the intended solutions or is this more like how I play sniper elite 5 by killing so many Nazis that there's no one left to sound the alarm?

The latter. You're not required to be a magpie, though it is a reliable way to abuse the time loop.

Yeah I can't imagine playing it online is gonna match the experience of playing with friends in the same room all yelling about peeking at their screen which you fervently deny while continually doing it.

Nintendo has online but you must use a 14.4kbaud modem over a phone line to access it with no alternatives.

Also your online ID is a random string of 256 digits that you have to enter using the controller every time you login.

If the N64 emulation on the Switch is "authentic", people will be "enjoying" online split-screen multiplayer at 10 FPS.
