Overclocked was my first MegaTen and it was a lot of fun despite my ineptitude at most SRPGs.

They also advertised it with the troll face meme on September 11th so I'm half convinced they're actively trying to piss everyone off.

Having a video game character whose best know for blowing poo poo up making a "Haha! gently caress you!" face the day after the anniversary of a terrorist attack which this country still considers a sensitive issue is just icing on the cake which only Konami could accomplish. Also they gave Bomberman a mouth and that's just wrong. SilverSupernova fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Apr 21, 2016 |

So I picked up New Super Mario Bros (the original DS one) on the Wii U VC. Why didn't anyone tell me this game was also the testbed for those weird stylus minigames that every DS game had to have? Sure a lot of them seem terrible (although the one that's basically Fire but updated to 21st century sensibilities seems OK in a Game and Watch way), but there's a fully-functional (if rather minimal) poker minigame. I loving love poker minigames in games...in Dragon Quest V DS I might have spent 4-5 hours just playing poker. This $10 purchase was just justified and I haven't even started the actual game. I can now absentmindedly play poker with Luigi on my gamepad while I do other things. Games that I don't have to pay attention to and can do while multitasking on actual real responsibilities are useful for me as a brain break.

They actually came bundled with Super Mario 64 DS previously, which mighta been a launch title for the DS? But yea they're alright. I always thought those minigames would be a good starting point for Nintendo's mobile push, in how you can make Nintendo characters work with simple controls.

You could even play multiplayer between them. Similarly, the GBA Super Mario Advance remakes had a version of the arcade Mario Bros that could do multiplayer with each other.

How is Metroid Fusion? I'm considering it since it'll be a MyNintendo freebie. Or would it be better to hold onto my butt until August and see what gets swapped in?

Metroid Fusion is one of the best games on the GBA, but I can't speak for the quality of the VC release, someone else'd have to do that.

It's a great game even I'm not the biggest fan of its structure compared to other Metroid titles. Good introduction to the series though if you haven't touched any of them before.

Fusion has a weird split personality where it's the most rigidly structured 2D Metroid game but at the same time the first one (I think) where they added deliberate sequence breaks. It's still a really great game though and not being quite as good as Super or Zero Mission is by no means a knock on it.

Nintendo demands very high standards out of it's emulation, and as such their emulator requires the better processor in the New in order to run.

This is probably a really dumb question but how can that be, when they can run N64 games? I know the N64 games are ports so they aren't really emulated. Couldn't the PSP emulate SNES games pretty much perfectly? Just seems like a bit of it is Apple-style forced obsolescence

Supposedly the old 3DS isn't powerful enough emulate SNES games at the degree of accuracy Nintendo requires, or they just wanted another reason for people to buy the New. I can certainly believe the first one, it wasn't until relatively recently that accurate SNES emulators were viable on PC, ZSNES and SNES9x etc. basically cheated as much as they can because they were originally designed to be played on a 200mhz P2.Rubiks Pubes posted:This is probably a really dumb question but how can that be, when they can run N64 games? I know the N64 games are ports so they aren't really emulated. Couldn't the PSP emulate SNES games pretty much perfectly? Nah, the PSP emulators were similar to the early PC ones, they ran games well enough but they certainly weren't accurate. As you said the n64 games are ports, and much improved ones, which run under completely different rules to emulation. Sakurazuka fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Apr 23, 2016 |

Fun fact, O3DS is severely underpowered compared to most modern electronics. It legit cannot handle SNES emulators properly.

You had it right at the beginning; the N64 ported games are ports specifically designed to run on the 3DS, whereas SNES games were designed to run on an SNES. I don't remember if it was in this thread or the 3DS thread, but right when SNES games were announced someone posted a breakdown of how emulation works and why its totally believable that SNES emulation wouldn't work well on an older 3DS.

A port created to run natively on the target hardware and emulation are two completely different things. Rubiks Pubes posted:Couldn't the PSP emulate SNES games pretty much perfectly? Nope, not even close. This isn't about the PSP specifically but here's an article I like about how accurate emulation is actually pretty tough and processor intensive http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/08/accuracy-takes-power-one-mans-3ghz-quest-to-build-a-perfect-snes-emulator/

Your game licenses are tied to your NNID, but they get migrated to a new piece of hardware by the system transfer utility.

Technically no, they're tied to an account, however the account is tied to the console unless you do a system transfer or phone Nintendo to get them to transfer your account over.

It takes 3GHz to emulate the SNES with 100% accuracy: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/08/accuracy-takes-power-one-mans-3ghz-quest-to-build-a-perfect-snes-emulator/ Neither the o3DS or the N3DS have that much power, but the N3DS is noticeably more powerful than the o3DS and can run significantly more accurate SNES emulation as a result. The VC SNES emulator simply requires more accuracy (and thus more powerful hardware) than the o3DS can provide. Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Apr 23, 2016 |
