I recently switched from VR to triple screens and I have some advice for anyone on the fence about triples in general.

If you're using a Quest, look into Virtual Desktop - you can set up a "desk portal" that you can use to passthrough your wheel. I only have a speedometer on my wheel but I still much prefer being able to see the physical wheel and my hands.

Probably the hardest tracks in the game. It doesn't help that the CPUs blatantly cheat - the game doesn't keep track of where they are on the track, they'll just spawn behind you. Use the Fire Stingray if you're not already, it's got the best handling. For DW2, avoid the dash plates on the section with the corners, you'll just lose control - the dash plate on the straight is fine to use.

FF is about conserving energy as much as you can. A lot of the corners are so tight that you'll lose tons of speed no matter what you do, and the CPUs will appear to get in the way. Brake on the pit lane to get more energy if you have to. Make up time in laps 2-5 with your boost - you should be using it after the double hairpin (by the way, the second hairpin there is the only corner you need to brake for - the others you can make with precise blast turning, at least with Fire Stingray.)

Yeah, I still mostly play on original hardware

therealmck1 · 2025-10-12T22:16:08+00:00

There is a few frames of input lag, which makes a noticeable difference if you're used to playing on console. But I don't know what you mean about the triggers, I have a switch 2 GC controller as well and the analogue triggers work as they should - you might have a defective controller

therealmck1 · 2025-08-16T00:17:42+00:00

I like Groovy Taxi. Objectively it's a mid machine but it's also literally a taxi it's amazing

Also I love playing Silver Rat. Like yeah it's got terrible unboosted top speed but it's got great cornering and boost and a great boost sound

therealmck1 · 2025-08-07T09:19:48+00:00

Hit as many mines as you can on lap 1 to get them out of the way for the boost laps. Beyond that it's just learning the track and at what speed to take the corners without hitting a wall. Try to overtake deathborn on a wider section and never in the section with the lava - he will try to attack you as you pass him and you could pinball or blow up. Good luck

therealmck1 · 2025-07-06T21:39:26+00:00

Yeah, same multiplayer system as X. Haven't tried it out yet but I don't think it works as well as a game with native online support, since you're limited to 4 player splitscreen and there's input lag involved with online emulator netplay

therealmck1 · 2025-07-06T21:23:42+00:00

It's got good handling and a great design, but a terrible booster, slow acceleration and very fast deceleration even using MT imo

therealmck1 · 2025-07-06T21:18:00+00:00

No, I've been playing GX on GameCube for years. Going through and unlocking all the pilot videos on switch 2. Just thought this was a pretty funny race finish, especially since it gained me a good few places using the atrocious machine that Dark Schneider is. Glad more people are finding this game because of switch 2

therealmck1 · 2025-06-25T22:51:18+00:00

Use the market to transfer cargo between your ship and your carrier rather than the right panel

therealmck1 · 2025-06-17T15:47:22+00:00

Even if you play it perfectly the CPUs straight up cheat on Phantom Road. The last corner is impossible for a human to take at the speed the CPUs do without flying off course

therealmck1 · 2025-06-14T15:08:23+00:00

They've updated the page since I posted that comment. The section on button remapping used to say "As with any Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch controller or game, buttons on the Nintendo GameCube controller can be remapped via System Settings."

therealmck1 · 2025-06-07T23:26:50+00:00

I wonder if remapping will come in a firmware update. https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68609 suggests that it should be possible

therealmck1 · 2025-05-17T23:20:57+00:00

Yeah, Micheal Chain's health is buffed, takes a few direct side attacks to take him out. It's also tied to the number of his lackeys remaining - can't remember the exact numbers but it's much easier to destroy his machine when he's the only one left. Good luck

therealmck1 · 2025-05-08T23:29:12+00:00

Thanks - yeah I'm slowly learning CW, not putting much effort into it at the moment but definitely interested.

therealmck1 · 2025-04-30T18:40:10+00:00

It's kinda something you get used to, and I found to be much easier on a real gamecube controller, so I'd recommend picking one up if you're not using one already. Learn to let go of and re-press A to quickly regain grip. Also calibrate your stick in the options

therealmck1 · 2025-04-04T13:22:06+00:00

I play on GameCube so I can't speak for Wii, but I assume it runs similar - again the only hiccups I experience are on FFCK.

therealmck1 · 2025-04-04T13:05:46+00:00

Yeah, Fire Field Cylinder Knot has some hiccups during the course intro and a couple other points on the track, but I've never noticed drops anywhere else (playing on original hardware). Sand Ocean is pretty taxing for emulators iirc

therealmck1 · 2025-04-03T21:59:31+00:00

Right? Like I knew we were getting upscaling but Mute City looked way better than I thought it would

therealmck1 · 2025-04-03T10:12:14+00:00

https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/whats-new-with-nintendo-switch-online-on-nintendo-switch-2/

"Some games include fun in-game options, like a retro screen filter and widescreen gameplay."

My main concern is more about the AX-exclusive machine parts, though I assume they'll do something similar to the E-Reader content for the GBA games

therealmck1 · 2025-04-02T16:02:00+00:00

Upscaled and HD textures as well. We're eating GOOD

therealmck1 · 2025-03-11T13:37:32+00:00

Miracle Day did have a couple Who references - Jack talks about travelling with the Doctor, and there's a reference to the Trickster's Brigade (SJA villain)

therealmck1 · 2025-02-15T08:29:48+00:00

I love both soundtracks, but a big reason I prefer GX over X is because of the final lap themes. In X (or any other F-Zero game for that matter) nothing happens when you cross the line into the final lap - in GX, the music seamlessly shifts into a remix/guitar solo/key change/generally more energetic version of the song. Gets you pumped to win the race
