i cant wait for it to be torn down and revealed to be some midrange cell phone chipset running virtual console encapsulated emulators and hackers figure out how to a) play other games and b) execute homebrew via usb

this is pretty likely, but i'd think it's more likely that they're using a similar soc to the 3ds, if not the same one.

What issues this gen are games running into because of shiny circles? Even physical copies aren't running off the disc anymore (Do WiiU games? Do they matter?)

Wii U games definitely run off the disc. Look at the load times on the eShop version of #FE compared to the disc version.

The N64 controller was a really important milestone in the development of controllers and while it had obvious and glaring flaws, it singlehandedly brought back analog, and the dual shock probably would not have existed without it, so there's no reason to have a ridiculous fanboy fight about this

The joysticks that pre-NES consoles used were digital, just fyi. The PC flight sticks that existed at the time were analog. The real innovation was taking an analog controller mechanism like in the full size flight sticks and shrinking it down to the size of the modern thumbstick.

wasnt even first analog at all though lmao the ps1 had an analog controller before the n64 even released!

quote:

The Dual Analog Controller was first displayed under glass at the PlayStation Expo 96-97 which was held from November 1 to November 4, 1996.[1] It was released in Japan in April 1997, coincident with the Japanese releases of analog-capable titles Tobal 2 and Bushido Blade.[2]

Before its release in the United States, Sony decided that vibration feedback would be removed from the European and American versions of the controller. According to a Sony spokesperson, "We evaluated all the features and decided, for manufacturing reasons, that what was most important to gamers was the analog feature."[3]

It was released in the United States on August 27, 1997; and in Europe in September 1997 with little promotion. A few months later, the first DualShock controller was released in Japan on November 20, 1997.

N64 Release date:
JP: June 23, 1996
NA: September 29, 1996
EU: March 1, 1997

dig deeper, i speak of another

because this:

is extremely similar to the now traditional thumbstick that all modern controllers have.

also not to mention that the PSX controller/dual analog/dual shock is a derivative of the SNES/SFC controller.

now you're just splitting hairs. the n64 was the first console to:

standardize on an analog joystick as the primary input method.
use an analog joystick that was small enough that it could be moved with the thumb alone.

yeah the exact mechanical design of the n64 stick wasn't picked up (and thank god it wasn't)

the dual stick layout from the psx dual analog/dual shock was picked up i don't deny that, but the n64 was the first console to standardize on the analog stick as the primary input method.

When will nintendo stop putting new ideas in their systems and just make a console that's exactly like every other one?

I mean look at this gimmicky D-Pad garbage with the NES when every console before it has used a joystick.

And what's with the SNES doing these shoulder buttons, everybody knows you only put the buttons on the face of the controller, what were they thinking with those L and R buttons on the front of the controller?

# ¿ Aug 11, 2016 22:35

Instant Sunrise: Apr 12, 2007; The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.

Nintendo wouldn't do gimmicks if they didn't work. It didn't work for the Wii U and Gamecube, but when it works, it works

At one point, putting a D-Pad on a console was going against the grain, now it's standard. At one point, the idea of shoulder buttons was an odd gimmick, because all controllers had the buttons on the face because that's how arcade cabinets were, now every controller has them.

As much as we deride waggle controls, the Wii was a sales monster that printed money. The DS was considered gimmicky for having two screens and touch support, and that too was a money printer.

Also I think that the PS2's backwards compatibility was a huge factor for people, especially with the somewhat anemic launch day lineup. Sony could easily supplement that with the entire PSX back catalog right when all the games would be dirt cheap "greatest hits."

Before Iwata died, he said there high level discussions about potentially dropping region locking for the NX. I really hope they follow through though.

Since the NX is going back to cartridges, all you need to do to get a region free one is to cut off two plastic tabs in the cartridge slot.

I just had an idea that would actually be fairly boss. If they just merged Amiibo with solid state drives it would be pretty neat. Having the cart click into place on top of the console which is lodged into the base of the specialized amiibo it would be a much more interesting package/ collection than just an SD card. It would be a little more expensive but would actually be useful seeing as how current amiibos are jsut dlc horse armour for the most part.

it's an idea for sure, but Amiibos use NFC to transfer data and the bandwidth for that is actually quite low.

Edit: unless you meant something like having the edge connector for something like an SD card being exposed.

generally speaking the entire firmware of a traditional emulated hardware console is a copyrighted piece of code, if they rewrite a new firmware its legal but you can't really say it will emulate accurately.

cartridge consoles generally* don't need a bios rom to be able to run games, since the rom chips run directly on the metal and include a bios within the game itself.

disc based consoles do need one� because the system's bios is generally needed to boot the games.

*game boy advance needs a bios file, and newer handhelds like the ds and 3ds might but i'm not 100% sure.
�dolphin doesn't need a bios file, but it can use it if it has it.

you can still load isos on a gamecube using some weird network adapter hack, and you should because the market prices interested consumers out right now as absurdly badly as the snes market.

yeah but if i wanted to use a real gamecube i'd have to pay way too much for component cables or else use a really ugly looking HDMI hack (assuming i got a gamecube with a digital out port)

nintendont on a wii u is the same as playing on a real gamecube except no game boy player and you can use the Wii U's HDMI out.
