Yarr Harr Fiddle Dee Dee...

Seriously, fuck Nintendo. Constantly hiding their own games catalogue from people so they'll pay more for the same game again on a new system. It's fucking garbage business practice, and it's moved to other industries now, with Warner Bros. deciding that putting stuff in a vault costs less than releasing it.

Y NO METROID PRIME 4

[–] liara@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

It was a sad day when my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order at Amazon with a very nice discount got cancelled

[–] SuicideSorcerer@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Ugh i’m kinda bummed I just bought an OLED. I should've waited for the switch 2.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 10 months ago (5 children)

...or bought a SteamDeck and used Yuzu or Ryujinx to pirate and play the same games, plus PC games.

Source: Finished Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom on my SteamDeck. The gyroscope in the SteamDeck was a killer feature for BOTW. Trying to solve the gyroscope puzzles in BOTW with a mouse was basically impossible.

Do the Switch emulators have any way to do online play with friends who own an actual switch?

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Short answer: no.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Long answer?

[–] tuckerm@supermeter.social 6 points 10 months ago

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yuzu can play online with any games that have 'local' multiplayer on the switch. Pokemon, Stardew Valley, etc.

Edit. Just realized you wanted emulator to console multiplayer. That's a no.

I meant from hacked Switch to another hacked Switch... But yeah seems like the answer is no regardless.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes but the switch wouldn’t functionally be a switch anymore after the jail breaking. It depends on the version of the switch whether that’s even possible. There may also be a few games that won’t connect bc people haven’t done the work yet or it’s not even possible.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I'm asking mostly because recently I was wondering about this loss functionality since I hacked my unit lol, it would be great to use something like custom servers... Just as if it was Wimmfi or the Pretendo project (that ain't working yet AFAIK).

[–] SuicideSorcerer@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

That would’ve been the move.

Do you have a recommended config for TOTK? Can't get it to run above 20fps

[–] fadingembers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How did they run? Totk chugged on my gen 1 switch

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

TOTK had more areas where it slowed down a little, but I averaged 25-30fps most of the time, with shrines being more like 40fps.

[–] fadingembers@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Honestly sounds better than my experience with the switch

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

For an indefinite amount of time? Just enjoy, you got a decent console at a decent time

[–] invertedspear@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Silly jump to conclusions when it is more likely just repackaging things as “greatest hits” editions or something.

[–] Tschuuuls@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

This may also be just due to this exploit? https://migswitch.com/

[–] Pechente@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

Let's see if it's finally the Switch successor this time and not a less exciting reason that they do this.
