Friendly reminder that the piracy of Nintendo games is not only always morally correct, but more importantly, it's obligatory.

To add to this… game boy, gameboy color, and gameboy advance libraries all fit on a single 32GB SD card

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While this is true I would recommend choosing just a few of your favourite games from each console, in which case you can probably fit your all time fav games from every Nintendo console on a 256gb SD card, and probably a 32GB for all you faves pre Wii.

As someone who has an overwhelmingly large ROM library, I often find I have nothing to play because my library is too large.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, get them all. Just to spite Nintendo.

Like, before I only had a small handful because I thought hey, if I ever need to access them in case my dumping hardware stops working or something, I can. But now that Nintendo is making everything disappear and nobody is fighting them, other companies are following their lead. SEGA and companies in the ESA.

Get the entire library at once and you dont have to worry about media being destroyed forever.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that’s a good point but I am very skeptical that Nintendo roms are going to be lost forever. Some of the popular sites are getting hit, but this has been happening for decades. Soon enough there will be a new site that makes it easy, and there will always be Usenet and private trackers that are far more robust.

you can fit snes on there too while ur at it, maybe DS as well

This is the Direct where they announce Twilight Princess and Wind Waker for the Switch. I can feel it! I wish they would, but I’m not holding my breath.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There have been rumors of a 2D Zelda too, so I have a feeling we see Zelda in this direct in some form.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, if I remember correctly they’ve said they’ve been working on or have completed a remastered Oracle of Ages/Seasons in the style of Link’s Awakening.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ok, that one might catch my interest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting twist we got today

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I agree! I thought it was A Link to the Past or the Oracle games remastered in the Link’s Awakening style. I didn’t think we’d ever get a game where we played as Zelda!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I waited for years for them to release them on the switch and I finally just emulated them on the steam deck. Not sure why Nintendo doesn't want my money

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Inb4 GameCube games on the switch 8 years too late

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The more I hear that they won't announce the Switch 2 the more I think they will.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that is exactly what somebody who is planning to announce Switch 2 would say.

[–] LostWanderer 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Eh, if there's no announcement, I can't be bothered. As of late, the Switch has been showing its age to me. I don't want to buy games for out of date hardware; I will play the games that I own, but not buy another game until Nintendo gets vastly improved hardware out there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You think they're going to vastly improve it though? My impression is they'll do some kind of gimmick again. I could be wrong though.

[–] LostWanderer 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Honestly, I’d accept something much better but not a massive upgrade. The thing enough power under the hood to make it easier for devs to port their games. Making the Switch an attractive choice and for games to run smoothly on their handheld/console. I would prefer Nintendo bring back home consoles, as it would be easier to make a strong performer.

My hope is that they make a true contender, however, this might not be Nintendo’s plan. They very well may choose to make another gimmick; perhaps Nintendo will refine a gimmick this time with their next hardware release?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I doubt they will. Ninendo is not fighting with PS and Xbox, and it surely has no reason to fight with Steam Deck and other powerful portables. They found their market, and they are extremely successful at what they are doing. One does not need super hardware to create wonderful games.

Ehh, I know it's not the original source, but I saw it there. Then it was either link to that or Twitter.
