The Switch version is just the vanilla game using the lovely NSO+ N64 emulator which has the benefit of having emulator level netplay. The Xbox version is <probably> the N64 game in some custom wrapper that enables a few modern quality of life tweaks like custom controls, widescreen support and up to 4K resolution. Oh and achievements if you care about that. The frame rate on both is completely up in the air but I'd at least guess that both versions will run smoother than on original hardware. There was a completely remastered version of Goldeneye with all new graphics done for XBLA like 15 years ago but it never made it out of licensing hell, and when hammering out this deal Nintendo said "hey we'll let you release the game but it can't look way better than our version that would make the Switch version look bad so you can't release the remaster that's already done you just have to do the boring old N64 version just like us".

I mean, isn't it bad enough the Xbox had to get an inferior version of Conker's Bad Fur Day?

Spotting the enemies is irrelevant because if you're not letting them beat you within an inch of death you're playing Kenshi wrong. Also I played Kenshi on a Steam Deck so a Switch port could be doable (if very finicky with the controls).

Silver Falcon posted:I have never contemplated murder more fiercely than the time my step-brothers played my N64 over the weekend when I was at my mom's and proceeded to overwrite my 100% save files on Diddy Kong Racing and Pokemon Snap. When I complained to their mother, she told me they can't read well and w/e and didn't know what "delete" means. Little shits! Stories like this are what make me incredibly glad I'm an only child.  One time back in high school, my ex-step-nephews (5 and 3) were demanding to play my DS while I was visiting, and I kept refusing, as I'd seen the way they treat their own belongings. My ex-stepmom complained to my dad about how I "wouldn't share", and he was just like "That thing was expensive, I don't blame [Read After Burning] for not handing it to those little demons either. You're the one who invited them over, YOU entertain them." Eat poo poo, toddlers.

It was held back by its cumbersome control scheme but yeah other than that it's very well put together Ain't got poo poo on time splitters tho, not just because of the modern control scheme or level editor either

"Aging badly" is a fake idea. If it was possible to sit down and lose yourself in a game for hours in the (90s/80s/70s) then it's possible to do so today.

Game controls have become so standardized that I understand how people could lose their ability to adapt to old wacky 5th and 6th gen control schemes but all the games still hold up once you get past the barrier

I can agree with that 90% of the time, I still play CRPGs from the 80s, but that period of console FPS is extremely rough now lol. Still, more power to you if you can get past the controls barrier, i definitely hit my limit there

Still, more power to you if you can get past the controls barrier, i definitely hit my limit there There can definitely be an adjustment period for stuff like controls, especially in that early age of 3d when it was the wild west and every game was inventing 3d controls from scratch, but it can also be pretty refreshing to play stuff from before modern conventions got solidified. I never played Goldeneye as a kid, but I did play Perfect Dark, and I think it still holds up really well, with great mission design and difficulty settings. The controls are drastically different from a modern fps, but the game is built around them so once you adjust it's not a problem.

Aging badly is not a fake idea at all at this stage, humans progressively get better at creating stuff and video games are still a relatively young medium. The vast majority of games from the '80s are basically unplayable but people were still paying $70 a pop for those bad boys back then. Technology of an era defines consumer expectations

No way the xp and gold drops make it a miserable time and DW2 is awful with RNG Also press A to choose from a menu of commands such as STAIRS, DOOR, CHEST. Humans get better at developing stuff later and this outdated menu format is a perfect example of that.
