N64 and Mega Drive games coming to Nintendo Switch Online (Paid Expansion, coming in October)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I would love those but sadly we won't get them, I feel like The Pokemon Company will be extremely reluctant to let people play with "legacy" game mechanics and without multiplayer or connectivity with the GB Pokemon games so it's technically an incomplete experience even though I would be happy to just play with rental pokemon
They need to bring back VC but make it future compatible and make it simple like buying mp3s
It did, but I'm not sure why you'd expect a 3DS port in a Nintendo 64 emulation service.
...that's news to me. Unless you're joking?
Speaking of which, I'm hoping the Virtual Console alterations we saw for that game aren't present here -- I don't have side-by-side comparisons on me at the moment, but stuff like Solar and the Macbeth train explosion lost their punch with distinct color muting and whatnot.
Yup Koei is right there on the box. Still have hope for snowboard kids since we have a full sega console and got smt on Snes
The N64 controller will work for any game it has enough buttons for, like for example it'll work with the new Mario party or fighting games for example
Custom Robo V1/2 is the big first party one and some DD stuff
Oh I just wish we got the improved version of the game somehow. It being released this way makes me think maybe that won't happen anytime soon. I didn't mean to come off as complaining.
That doesn't change much. Super Mario 64 was a significant part of that package and is now included in a subscription package that'll take years to total $60 with significantly more games. I guarantee you at least a few people are annoyed at that.
That's not "alright".
I mean, it's alright that you as the user is able to unofficially do that on the PC, but as an official product, it's horrible. The entire collection on PC and all consoles, is awful.
Am I the only one that thinks it's weird that they are using the original version of Mario 64 when they have the All Stars ROM with some better textures? Well, at least "so long gay Bowser" will be back.
This is emulation.
The collection has a remaster.
Yeah, OP should update. Here's the full list:
It was unfortunate but predictable with what's basically a 64 collection/remake around the corner. Once Superstars sells its millions, I wouldn't be surprised to see them spring up.
I was just kidding. Obviously the innards are going to be made with more modern materials, so that hopefully means they won't disintegrate.
Nah, Mario 64 in 3D All Stars is also emulation. They literally just used an updated ROM and changed some textures.
Still, it's not 100% the original game. It's a modified game.
NSO is like the virtual console where games are based off the originals, so that means no framerate or slowdown improvements.
Ahh, but they can also put the GB games on the Switch Online and allow them to do it that way.
Never going to happen. Even with Nintendo and Microsoft being friends, the Bond license is held by another company, and Pierce Brosnan's (and other actors) likeness is also another license.
Lmao I can't believe them. I'm the target audience for this, the N64 was my main console for most of my childhood. There is no way I'm paying extra for that small selection, especially after seeing how slow they've been to add NES/SNES games. Not sure what they're thinking
Can't wait to get palm blisters from Mario Party, whenever that shows up
I strongly hope we see Diddy Kong Racing soon too.

What if it's just an extra 90 cents per month or an extra 10 bucks per year?
At this point, it should be abundantly clear Nintendo doesn't want you to own these games because then they wouldn't be able to charge you again in this future if this service carries over.
I really doubt they'll release Mario Party 1 precisely for what it did to controllers. That's probably why it has never been re-released, but Mario Party 2 has.
It had a bunch of improvements, but it was essentially a full remake. If it comes to Switch I imagine it'd be its own thing as opposed to part of NSO.
I hope that:
1) N64 games support the Rumble Pak, and
2) Super Mario 64 Shindou Edition and Wave Race 64 Shindou Edition are included in the Japanese app. Would be great to have the rumble release of especially Wave Race 64 available here.
It even has some remixed music!
(the original version was this:)

I did that on the Wii and Wii U. I'm fine with one payment a year for access to them. If Nintendo had an MS system of BC that would be awesome.
Yep.
I'm still shocked that people don't know how to differentiate a port from a remaster, or a remaster from a remake. The 3DS OoT is a full remake (minus the music).
Judging by this thread I'm seeing people either say they'll buy it, and others just laughing at the price increase. Not really seeing any defending.
Hopefully with Skyward Sword out of the way the 3D versions of the games coming to Switch will be next.
If anything, cheap access to the classic versions will be the best advertisement for any premium remasters/remakes
