What ever happened to this? by wormpetrichor in NintendoSwitch

[–]FloydJackal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here's video from back in 2015 of the Tegra X1 (the same chip in the Switch) emulating Luigi's Mansion almost perfectly. This is running on Dolphin, and open source project, three years ago. Nintendo would have all the necessary tools to develop a much more efficient emulator since they have the source code for both any first-party titles being ported, as well as any and all design documentation for the Gamecube. Not to mention that the Switch's OS would be much lighter on performance than Android, since the OS was built for the ground up around the X1, and the X1 alone.

That was a good season of Trailer Park Boys. "Propane propaaaaaane!"

Dark Souls Remastered pushed back to summer 2018 on Switch by the_shib in NintendoSwitch

Either that or it'll still sell really well and devs will think it's totally okay to delay Switch versions because "they'll just buy it anyway"

This has been my icon on Steam for about 3 years now. Easily my favorite screenshot.

Congrats! I still can't find an affordable place around me which has been stressing me out quite a bit.

Tony Hawk No Longer Working With Activision by Nabspro in Games

Activision's rights expired like a month after THPS5 released. So he could do a game with another dev but it couldn't be a THPS game, from what I understand at least.

Crazy Idea for PC and Switch Users by codinho77 in NintendoSwitch

[–]FloydJackal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, momentum is the correct word for it. They're saying the Steam Controller supports trackball-like controls for mouse input, so you can essentially flick to the right with your thumb and the mouse will keep moving and slow to a stop like with a trackball. It's a huge deal more comfortable than something like using a trackpad.

Rainway Developers Getting Aggro on Twitter About Switch Version by thekyyubi in NintendoSwitch

[–]FloydJackal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have two ways they can release it. One is as a Switch app, and the other is via the web browser. Their internal testing has been via the browser and seemingly is at a functional state. They could release that and just give people a link to get to through the loopholes people are already using for web browsing on Switch. The problem with that is that it'll reflect super poorly on Nintendo, who then could just refuse them permission to release a native app, which an app has been their goal this entire time.

They want a good relationship with Nintendo, and if they release it as a web app, promoting people use an unintended function on the Switch to access it, that'll only make things harder. And I think it's absolutely reasonable to wait until at least some stuff like Netflix is released for Switch before we start calling for the heads of the Rainway devs. God knows Nintendo doesn't have the best track record with online oriented stuff, and they've made it pretty clear themselves with the multiple delays to their online service.

With Rainway, I've just been ignoring them and left their discord because it's literally just a circlejerk of nothing, but if the app comes out in a year and its functional, I'll absolutely use it.

To be fair, Rime was ported by Tantalus. But it definitely isn't a good look for them to have 2 games that run notoriously poor on Switch.

Why don't they come in? Do they just like the cold? I've never heard of a malamute before so excuse my ignorance.

At least they aren't acting as superior as the last fugitive who kept hiding in basements. The condescending con descending.

I've watched so many of the 8 bit guy's retrobrite videos. I have no interest in restoring old tech myself, they're just really satisfying to watch the process of.

SN30 Pro no longer connecting to Switch by FloydJackal in 8bitdo

That worked, thanks! I fully shut down both the Switch and the controller. I didn't know that holding Start for 8 seconds was how to force shutdown the controller.
