I have to admit, I was one of the guys who would shit on whatever Nintendo put out because of how much I hated the direction they took with the Nintendo Wii, and now the Wii U. I didn’t like the way things were going. I was a grumpy gamer who wanted my fun Nintendo memories on the Snes, N64, and Gamecube not to be tarnished by some bullshit motion controlled gimmick.
All 12 games are getting different upgrades. Some get full visual and frame rate enhancements, while others get GameShare support only.
hmm... those improvements for the zelda games is kinda weak. I was expecting improved frame rate, or at the very least more stable. Sad there is nothing for Paper Mario, that one could use a 60fps mode like the original GC version.
Both Zelda games both run at 1440p and 60fps now. On the switch they both play at 30fps.
The main issue will be if they don’t remove the double buffer vsync in them.
Yes, they are technically already 60fps capped, but that vsync setup means even a single dropped frame below 60 sends it to 30fps.
Now if they are also increasing the resolution and visuals in the game, unless there is a pretty significant overhead, which is still likely but not fully understood due to the unknowns of the “emulation” setup, if the 1% lows in the game still drop it every now and then anywhere below 60, they will still end up having massive stuttering drops from 60 to 30fps.
The two Zeldas - EoW and LA - already run with a 60fps cap. I would hope they're not mentioning improved frame rate because it's just assumed that the Switch 2 will smooth out the drops.
Whereas the specific callouts for Bowser's Fury and Pokémon indicate a raise from 30fps to 60fps.
So... They're not gonna do anything with that Xenoblade Chronicles X 60fps mode, huh?
12 is a bit weak. The whole switch library is in need of a boost. Exclusives like the Xenoblades and Astral Chain would be great to see get a free update. Initially surprised Mario Wonder wasn't on the list, but I imagine they have a paid upgrade planned for that one.
Want to play nearly every single Zelda game on one Nintendo console? Well you can, but it involves getting hold of a Wii U.
Not sure why you got downvoted when you are right on the money... You got the NES game, Super Metroid, the two GBA games (Fusion and Zero Mission) Metroid Prime Hunters (story mode only) and the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Other M on backwards compatibility or digital download. If you like or want to get into Metroid, that's the system to get.
@proxy, I can only speak for myself but I vote based on the comment a person makes, not the person saying it. Others on this site seem like they hold a grudge and vote against a person no matter what.
Or a moderately recent PC, CEMU is amazing. Even a 1050 can emulate the games at a higher res than the Wii U :)
Cemu, like almost every emulator, is CPU bound. My 750ti was enough to beat BotW at 1080p/30 with greatly enhanced textures and shaders.
Yeah, luckily you don't need a crazy CPU anymore to run it. If you're trying to exceed the default framerates of games like in Botw you need a beefy CPU, but very few games have fps unlock mods. So a decent quad core does the job :) the best part is playing games like MK8, Pikmin 3, etc at 4K. The art styles are so clean and crisp and hold up great!
No you just need this https://cemu.info/ and the roms. It will look so much better on the PC even in 4K, you can even use reshade to make it look even better. How about a little ray tracing to 😁 https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Yup I you can even play A Link btw Worlds and upscale OoT 3D and MM 3D :). Only reason I still play Zelda on Switch / 3DS is for portability.
Nintendo has kicked off a big Summer Game Sale on the North American eShop. Switch owners can save on a bunch of different tiles from both Nintendo and third-parties, including Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Dragon Quest XI S, and much more.
Took them forever to put it on sale on the US store! It was on sale for the EU store back on the New Years sale, and at least 1 other time. I had waited so long, I just knew the minute I dropped $60 on it, it would end up going on sale. Took longer than I thought though. I nabbed DQXI S and also DQ Builders 2 last night. Both great games!
I had 7 1/2 hours in the DQXI S demo, so I already knew I loved it. Glad my progress carried over.
I like to cuddle my Wii U, and let it sing to my soul
