Their YouTube video announcement was like a 1:10 ratio of likes to dislikes. Their user base is fucked, as people will still buy and subscribe, cause it's the only place you can get the games.... Make a PC release, and there would be a big end to that bs.Yes it is considering the price Nintendo are charging for it. If they threw it in at no extra cost, it wouldn't be as much of a big deal but they want to over charge for that shit?
That's a load of bull.Seems like most of the issues are actually due to the Switch hardware itself, which explains why people running emulators on PCs are complaining so much because they're emulating it on much better hardware than a Tegra.
I just have too much on at moment to even look at it and never got review code. Maybe a later catch-up on, I did see a thread with my name in it, so guessed something had gone wrong somewhere ;-)Waiting on Guardians to set the record straight NX!
That's a load of bull.
The Switch is more than capable to emulate the console in HLE. The original Wii is, what, 5 times less powerful? Yet the same games on Wii VC had less issues and input lag. I could emulate most N64 games with less issues 15 years ago, on a Pentium 4 + Geforce 4 Ti, using PJ64 and the old Glide64 plugin (not even GlideN64).
It's not like they try to emulate the most demanding or too complex to figure out N64 games... Something like Rogue Squadron, Battle for Naboo, Indiana Jones, Perfect Dark and Conker require more grunt from the host system, even in HLE mode. But those games aren't in the service. Or in any other service before that. But things like Mario 64 and Zelda should be easy enough to emulate on the Switch.
I mean, even all the above aside, i'm pretty sure N64 emulation is much better on the very same Switch hardware, using RetroArch and Mupen64plus-next...
In conclusion, it's not the hardware at fault here, it's just good old incompetence.
Keep in mind, Retroarch and mupen64 exist for the Switch and it's better than Nintendo's own offering on the same system.I think your forgetting that the Switch uses mobile artitecture, how are the N64 emulators for mid range mobiles doing these days? That's what you need to be looking at.
People tend to put alot of weight on clock speeds, without looking at anything below that surface level. There's a reason desktops still use lower speed desktop CPU's and not mobile processors, even when the mobile processor have higher clock speeds.
However this problem will be largely down to Nintendo being lazy and not developing an emulator that works around those limitations.
The 3DS game was a port. Not emulated.I mean, they are selling 17fps and 20fps (with downgraded fog) Zelda in 2021 when they previously sold Zelda 64 on weaker gamecube (perfect emulation) and 3DS (much weaker hardware with improved QoL) at 30fps?
The Tegra should be even more powerful than a XBOX 360.Is the tegra less powerful than whatever was in the wii?
Seems like most of the issues are actually due to the Switch hardware itself
There is absolutely no way a Switch is too slow to properly emulate N64 games.Seems like most of the issues are actually due to the Switch hardware itself, which explains why people running emulators on PCs are complaining so much because they're emulating it on much better hardware than a Tegra.
Jesus well that really makes the NXGamer guy one of the worst Nintendo Apologists.![]()
I am playing the same games with better performance on a hacked switch with no system level tweaks.
And the (PS1) emulation performance is astonishingly good, as close to perfect as you could want, with only minor glitches being reported on a minority of titles.
Even more dumb considering the Wii has better N64 emulation. Big oof on the reporting hereI am sorry but WHAT?
If PSP, a 2004 hardware can emulate PS1 almost perfectly in the year of 2007, then how in the hell a 2017 released Switch can't perfectly emulate N64 in the year of 2021?

Investigating the PSP's PSone emulator
When the Sony PSP launched in Japan at the tail end of 2004, it looked set to dominate handheld gaming for the foreseea…www.eurogamer.net
Not to mention Mario 64 already had a emulation on Switch, on I think the same emulator, that performed a bit better.Even more dumb considering the Wii has better N64 emulation. Big oof on the reporting here
