i hope everyone in nintendo’s management department dies and goes to hell no matter what and i’m not kidding
#WERE LOSING YUZU AND CITRA. I DONT KNOW IF YOU ALL UNDERSTAND HOW INSANE THIS IS#game emulation enables piracy yes but it’s also an INCREDIBLY powerful archival tool.#there are plenty of games out there that only exist in their original formats due to emulation.#this lawsuit has HORRIBLE implications for video game history. it makes it incredibly easy for companies to scorched earth their products#if they’re not profitable enough. ART IS GOING TO BE LOST BECAUSE OF THIS. GAMES PEOPLE WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD ON#it won’t just happen to bad games. it won’t just happen to old games. they will use this to keep their remake/virtual console model going#forever and you will never be able to play your favorite games in their true original forms ever again.#i am fucking INSANELY mad rn. capitalism is the death of art fr#personal

i think the reason i never jived with the anti-ai art rhetoric is because i think the idea of giving a computer a set of criteria to produce something with is, like, fundamentally an artistic process and also, really fucking cool

Every single time I see those twitter accounts that go “wind waker/twilight princess for the switch!!” This image i made a while back pops in my head once in a while

#guys please…please emulate…why must you wait??#why must you wait to spend 60 dollars on 20+ year old games#(this also goes for ppl selling the physical game either gc or wiiu)#i understand that you want to experience playing the game on console but sometimes you just gotta emulate#get yourself a nice pc game controller and emulate#ik its hard and scary to find good roms but just look around PLEASE#QUIT TORTURING YOURSELF#txt

i will say, having modded switch games myself on a somewhat underpowered laptop i definitely believe the switch 2 can eventually be emulated with decently low overhead. nintendo is still skimping on its specs and the structure of their os and consoles hasn't changed much since the gamecube so the people who work on emulation have a lot to work with. if you have even a decent computer and are willing to wait it will definitely be cheaper to wait for emulation cuz it's really not such a pipe dream. not everyone is in that position tho so please remember this is just a valid option not the Only Moral Option Forever
#stealing games is awesome and will always get easier with time since release#but timing or tech is sometimes exactly the problems people face#if you don't already have a decent pc waiting for emulation and getting one is going to set you back more than just buying a console#i just wouldn't compare nintendo emulation to other modern consoles#because of how poorly protected nintendo games are#yuzu is a work of art and really shows the true potential of well supported emulation#i've had yuzu updates take bowsers fury from 30 fps to a clean 60 while recording without me changing my setup#nintendo is basically asking for their games to be emulated unless they've finally changed their workflow and security completely#which for such a big company and such a successful product is unlikely

Since we’re on the topic of video games, im tired of these fucking remakes. Ive said it before but i’ll say it again each time. These companies dont wanna invest in an actually good remaster or port and would rather waste their time with these remakes bcuz “ooh look how shiny and better the graphics look!!1!1!1” often times it has an empty feeling because everything has to be ultra realism super 6000. Its gotten so bad that now regular gamers are starting to gaslight you into playing or enjoying them. So much has been lost artistically, (like the cool UI designs) that it’s now considered “juvenile” and that i need to “grow up” and “accept it” 😂
#Being genuine and having atmosphere/lore/small details surrounding the game does a lot more.#And can we pls have built in emulators or#backwards combatibility on these newer consoles? if ur able to do all this other shit you can give us an official emulator#And ik that sometimes the developers have actually lost certain files data assets etc within the OG games that cannot be regained#But you can make an entire remake no problem🙄 it be feeling like they are getting told by higher ups “do it or else”#Im gen z and idk if its my gen or a combination of everyone regardless of age wanting these remakes all of a sudden#Bcuz i swear i remember most ppl disliked or didnt care abt them now everyone is on board with it???#No game after the year 1999 should have a remake. A rerelease or remaster is fine. But a remake? Do we really need that…#Also game design used to be cute and fun. Whatever happened to that? Wheres my clever save spots and menu screens?#Theres only a tad bit of remakes i have no problem with and even then its not “needed”#i also understand not liking smth due to its art style. But to act like majority of old games looks terrible is crazy come on now.#Why does h0rizon need a remaster and why are u not allowed to buy or download the OG version of it anymore 😐#feels like ppl think OG games are nothing when they are the entire reason#The amplified hyperrealistic my-26k-ultra-supercomputer-made-this remake exists in the first fucking place#regarding limitations of old games and consoles i could understand a rerelease port but they could just add on stuff and leave it alone lol#Emulators also exists guys….#Rant#Other

due to topical demand
(x)
#shitpost#nintendo#monkey island#i mean personally im almost shocked the console itself isnt way more expensive. the game price isnt super surprising either#also as much as i love encouraging piracy. it usually takes a few years for nintendo consoles to get reliable emulators#since reverse engineering them takes ages#unsure what its like with game roms but the newer something is the bigger the risk of getting fucked over#so if youre planning to pirate switch 2 stuff be patient and careful#in theory i dont mind the approach of having fewer games because they cost more. especially since theyve developed better sharing features#in practice i am very broke

Reminder that if nintendo doubles down on this whole “80-90$ games” bit, a steamdeck is cheaper and has everything the switch 2 offers and more. Sure it means no nintendo games (legally) but steam has a ton anyways. Also emulators exist so (not that i would ever endorse that but youd be shocked how quickly people can emulate new games).
#a top notch new steamdeck is pricey but#a refurbished one from steam is very affordable in terms of consoles#and you can emulate plenty of games to your hearts content#plus it works like a computer if you need that since it has desktop mode#nintendo#nintendo switch#nintendo switch 2#nintendo direct

finally
Splatoon 3 at a stable framerate
#real talk that's basically the only reason i wanted a switch 2 lol#like this has been what i've been saying for YEARS#legit don't care about the new games like. at all#i just wanna play the games i already have with good performance#and for anyone that says emulation it's really hard to get the controllers working without lag and i'm not sure multiplayer is possible#plus dev was stopped for that console because nintendo so mmmmmmmm#also sissy is there covering the order label for me

started a new viddygame the other day
#katamari#me & my katamari#been wanting to play more katamari for a while but i've already played the hell out of the only 2 katamari games available on steam#(the 2 'rerolls')#i figured i could probably play some of the other games via emulation. finally looked into it & got my new 'psp' set up :-)#at first the controls sucked but then i added my dualshock4's analog sticks as alternate inputs for the directional and face buttons#and it just works! feels almost the same as playing katamari damacy or we love katamari#not perfect; still a tiny bit rough; but waaayyyy better than just using the dpad and face buttons#condolences to ppl who played this on an actual psp#it's unfortunate that the psp didn't have dual analog sticks. the playstation dual analog controller design is so good#wouldve been nice if that couldve been carried over to their portable console

(thinking about prev reblog) i have so many thoughts about the switch 2 and piracy and emulation and how so many people just do not understand how it works and that it is so much more difficult than people will make it seem but im tired and i dont want to type all that so you guys will have to wait for the morning for this rant because this is something i think a lot about
#blurry speaks#tl;dr i think the accessibility of 3ds hacking and the unusually quick development of a switch emulator is skewing people's perception#on console homebrew. like you cannot mod a switch unless it is one of the very first ever manufactured and on a very early software version#why do people think that the switch 2 will be hackable and emulatable anywhere near launch lmao
