I reckon that one-size-fits-all emulator with runtime patching will probably bite them in the rear end down the line with some titles, given how strangely-coded some N64 games were.

The only speed runner I watch is Linkus7 and he said the OLED was saving milliseconds at best so I'm guessing the issues for emulation are just for speed runners and turbo nerds.

Tampa Bae posted:I'd like to get an RPG on the Switch but I've not really played any before. I have Digimon: Cyber Sleuth and it was a lot of fun until I put it down for a month and the game becomes nearly impossible to pick back up because it's hard to figure out which part of the story you've made it to without going back and retracting every single step in an FAQ until you find the one NPC in a random hub to progress the story again I don't know if you're still looking but... DQXI isn't a bad choice. I've only played DQ 8 but it's a cozy as poo poo series that doesn't break the bank in innovating anything wild and crazy. It's definitely a good starter for the genre. I personally had a blast experiencing Final Fantasies 7 through 9 a couple of years back (was it last year? I can't remember). I've currently started 10. These are all great, except 8 which is super weird but worth checking out probably. Their mechanics are simple but more involved than what DQ offers in my opinion, unless 11 really changed up from 8. The writing is exactly what you'd expect from the genre and games like VII and X are rather fundamental. The playstation games have handy cheat modes too to get past their bullshit, so grinding is easier and you can speed through random battles. Aside from that Octopath Traveller is a great throwback game. It lacks some quality of life factors especially in regards to random battles, but battling in the game is very fun and interesting. It's a job system which is a specific type of jrpg better represented by the Bravely Default series, FFV and FFX2. This allows for a bit more customization and very cool combos. I almost regret having traded it back in, but Octopath is definitely good for a playthrough. Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a strategy JRPG, so the plot tropes are there and all, as is the leveling up, but the gameplay is rather different. I haven't played the latest one, and I have rather disliked the series since Awakening, but I did love it for a long time and people vouch for the last one. If you like strategy games could be a good way to get your feet wet. Achmed Jones posted:i might buy splatoon 3. but ive never played splatoon, dont much care for competitive multiplayer, and am just kinda "whatever" about shooters The Single player is fun and "short". I ended up getting all the hero version of the weapons which requires you to beat every stage with every weapon. I would do this while talking with my folks on the phone (about an hour or so a week). The multiplayer is as competitive as you want it to be. The great thing about splatoon is that it's not about killing your opponents, though it helps, but rather painting. So if you just want to paint, and run at first sight, that's honestly not outright hurting your team. hatty posted:I’ve been “playing” Pikmin bloom lately since I’m a simp for the series and it’s not terrible. I like planting flowers with my Pikmin posse while on a walk Does it measure distance you walk or distance you've moved? I bike to work and if that could count I'd be interested in it.

Tampa Bae posted:My only real exposure to RPGs is my sister, she was a huge fan of Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, and Persona games. I got kinda into FF13 because I liked the side-characters but she kept telling me how Lighting was the worst protagonist ever and I think that was my first RPG outside of Pokemon but she knows the entire history of every JRPG ever, she was trying to get me to play a PS1 game called Legend of Dragon that came out when she was like three years old. I haven't done SMT but they seem hard. I really feel like Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy would be up your alley. Just some good throwback JRPG. If you can get over the graphics FF7 is rather engrossing as is FF9 (I'm partial to FF6 but it's not available here). They games are minimum 40 hours and if you really want to go all out you can get up to 80 hours. DQ is definitely a long game. You can also try Tales of Vesperia, the combat in those is more action based but those are also long and involved. So yeah I'd say DQXI for just classic JRPG or FF7 for a bit of JRPG history that still holds up today. The advantage to the latter, despite being old, is that it's still rather engrossing/timeless (like the best of games) and it has handy cheat modifiers to smooth out the rough edges at the click of a button like x3 speed, infinite health, or max special moves gauge. The latter are rather much, but the x3 is a godsend.

Lastdancer posted:I should probably add that while I think it's a tiny bit disingenuous to say we're just ignoring examples and evidence, like absolutely demand more from your products. Of course. Personally my standards fall more in the line of practicality and consistency rather than striving for 100% perfection and I assume this may well be the case for the others. I want to turn on the game and play it in this instance. I don't want to fiddle with settings. In terms of Online play this is probably even more of a deal, where you don't want to follow up "hey want to play some mario kart" with "ok do you have the right rom? no the other revision. Wait which version of the emulator are you using" and then half an hour of that just to get to the actual playing. We know it's not great but it works and it's serviceable for now. Patches and continued support would be nice! NSO N64 Online though isn't any better. The online just straight up doesn't work at all.

I also read for online, you can online take 1 person online per system. Stinks you can't do 4 player Mario Kart with 4 players on 2 Switches. Really hope they fix a lot of the issues with future patches. Waiting to subscribe until I see how they approach updating the n64 app.

Regarding N64 NSO: yes it's serviceable in that you can play games online and they basically work, more or less. But there's a genuine problem with Nintendo where there's a lack of functional consistency across its (specifically, retro-focused) products, especially across hardware generations. While Nintendo is getting more criticism this time in the past, there's also plenty of people defending them and ignoring the issues because it's Nintendo in a way they wouldn't with other products and manufacturers. Consider that the consensus around the SEGA Genesis Classics collection is that it's unplayable garbage, when it largely suffers from the exact same problems as N64 NSO (input lag, emulation accuracy, etc.).

Tampa Bae posted:The last time I bought into a JRPG at launch was FF13, I'd rather play something on the switch that's already well-received. Pokemon is also coming out soon and Platinum was my favorite entry in the series so I'll go with the Dragon Quest demo and the Diamond/Pearl remakes as a backup. It's not that I can't afford all these games, I just don't have the time to play more than one 100+ hour game a year That seems like a sound plan. I keep forgetting DQ11 has a massive demo. And if you enjoy Pokémon, more power to you. I didn't enjoy Sword/Shield that much and frankly I think I'll only get remakes of Blue/Red from here on out because I've come to terms that I only like that franchise for its nostalgia factor these days.

Now you've decided they're actually just arguing that it's flawless? It's not perfectly serviceable to you and many other people. It's perfectly serviceable to a lot of other people. Even after they've acknowledged all of the issues. Hope this makes sense.
