Dorkly: It was belittled for its default purple paintjob and silly (but functional!) lunchpail handle, but the Nintendo GameCube had a pretty special library. After tallying up thousands of ballots, Dorkly readers have narrowed down the GC's formidable collection of games down to a chosen few, and we've assembled a rundown of the results below.
Would you switch around the rankings of the Zeldas? Think Kirby's Air Ride is definitely top five material? Is all the blood draining from your head after seeing that Eternal Darkness and the Resident Evil remake didn't make the cut? Well, you only have yourself to blame for voting the wrong way. But if you'd like to channel your frustration onto your fellow man, you can do so by hitting up the comments below.
The original Switch almost certainly can handle GameCube games.
Yeah I doubt there's a technical reasons why it's locked out of the origin switch I had GameCube emulation running fine on the Wii U
Wii u had hardware support for gamecube/wii same chipset. But cube was emulated on a tegra chipset (same as switch but wasnt downclocked as switch is) on some obscure asian console.
You have a point there's a architecture difference at play here
Quick google shows that homebrew community have not made it without a modification to clock speeds etc on the current switch might be wrong but it was a 5 minute google.
So I stand corrected good to know
The Switch is an extremely capable console when it comes to playing GameCube games. The reality is that it's a paywall to push their newer hardware, which is lame.
Which is why you can just torrent ROM collections and have a nice emulation machine, no need for a Switch or to pay Nintendo.
If you support Nintendo’s behavior, this is what you’ll get. They’ve been problematic for a long time, but damn if they don’t make some great games. It’s hard as hell not to give in. I’m definitely gonna hold out this time. Sucks though, because I want to play that GameCube Fire Emblem game.
I would love to meet that person and say, no I'll just torrent and take, now what lol.
Digital Foundry : GameCube emulation is part of the Switch 2 offering, but did you know that Nintendo has had excellent GameCube and Wii emulation for years?
The peripheral maker continues to impress with this retro-style controller.
i have the Nyxi Wizard GC style joycons and was very impressed. It made playing metroid prime remaster feel even better than i remember.
By the age of 10, the only consoles I have played were NES, SNES and Genesis. Genesis was my favourite out of the bunch but I can safely say that my favourite consoles has been the PS3.
