    I suppose one of the advantages of Sega leaving the console wars in 2001 is that a lot of their games (especially from the Genesis era) are easy to find and play again. A majority of Sega compilations have tons of games on them, since a majority of them are first-party games developed by Sega themselves. Nintendo, on the other hand, seems to be giving their past games the Disney Vault treatment, re-releasing them for a limited time and then discontinuing them after a certain date. In a way, to this day, Sega is continuing to do what Nintendon't.

They will shut down rom sites without flinching and sue you into oblivion.. yet at the same time refuse to re-release or make their older games accessible in any meaningful way. It's so pointless to deprive the fans when we've been asking for new ways to play older games for years. Until they can figure this out, people will continue to pirate and emulate their games, and I totally encourage it.

    Honestly, it feels a bit like why now game companies begin to remove older versiosn of the games from online stores the moment they announce a 'remake' or something. Like what happened with Gran theft auto. They don't want you to focus on the old stuff, since they can't make much profit from it, and they might have toa ctually offer support for the emulators they use on it. No, they want you to solely focus on the brand new shiny games, which they can sell at the price they want, and that they have more control over.

    I think there's some shady stuff going on with them. Just look at Super Mario 3D All Stars... they made it a limited release game of some sloppy emulation so then fans would buy it without it even going on sale. They even had the digital version limited even though there would be an infinite amount of downloads if possible. Their NSO controllers and Amiibos all are usually low stock even though the demand is high. Wouldn't even surprise me if they have their own eBay accounts or 3rd party retailer that jacks the price up for those products to gain Nintendo some extra money

There isn't a button for it and no remapping. I'm not sure if there's anything else game breaking, but I know it's impossible to beat the game with a GC controller as a result.

After all, Nintendo has such a vast library of old amazing games that you could go a lifetime just scrolling through their classics paying 5-20 dollars for 15-35 year old games, and just not bother with new games at all. I'm not saying everyone would do this, but it seems to be a fear in Nintendo's hearts, that their new games will be compared unfavorably to their own legacy

    well, if that's a fear to them, then they should put actual effort into the new first party games they're releasing, because it seems more like they're trying to gaslight audiences into believing that the modern games are the best option, by not putting the older console versions so that they don't have to put as much stuff on them. Examples of this that i can mention are the new mario golf, mario strikers and mario tennis compared to their past versions, Pokemon HeartGold and Soulsilver compared to the gen 4 remakes, just a lot less effort into content in the games.

    @@Bro3256 That is a good point! I just feel like the conversation is a bit deeper than that. First off Nintendo doesn't have to make us buy these games over and over again. They chose to make us do that because of their own incompetence. Also Locking the games behind a subscription service is objectively worse than just being able to pick and choose what you want based on your interest and the switches user base is so big, diverse, and young you have many people who own a switch who have not played Nintendos legacy titles. People often say that adding a game to NSO will introduce new people to those games. That is Very true, but it's important to recognized that not everyone who owns a switch has NSO or will ever get NSO. Only 36 million people own NSO over the 114 million switches that have been sold. 36 million is a humongous number, a number that should not be understated and will probably grow over time, but it's currently not even half of the amount of switches that have been sold. NSO just gets in the way of how accessible these games are for many people, and I'd say they are valid in not wanting to pay for NSO. There are also increased concerns with owning these games since this is a subscription service, you are inherently giving the company more power over the media you consume. Should a game get de-listed you don't have any hope of ever getting it back since it is not something you bought on your account. There is also something to be said about using these games as an incentive to subscribe to their online service, as they should probably prioritize on actually improving their online infrastructure and social features instead. The fact that they dangle these games to us instead of doing just that I think says a lot to how much Nintendo values their legacy titles, and the fact that they get away with doing that and it's very successful just validates their own mindset of hoarding their games and exploiting people with nostalgia instead of making their system up to par with modern standards. It's why there are no themes, no chat systems, their online infrastructure sucks, Basic User interface, it took years for us to get folders. So from that perspective I think you can make the argument that the way NSO is handled does more harm than good for us. but yeah. I didn't mean for this to be so long but these are just things to think about

    I'm just so greatful to all the dedicated fans that have worked on decompilations, emulators, improvements and mods over in the "unoffical" scene, currently the way OoT is played through the Ship of Harkinian is far better than I could have even dreamed of and this thing is still less than ONE YEAR old. And there's no sign of development slowing down on this thing either, they keep adding new features constantly. Insane amount of customization, you wanna have the game be widescreen without any weird stretching of the UI or any other oddities? You can do that. Unlocked fps? Extended draw distance so objects don't pop in right infront of your face? Go ahead. Or do you maybe want the game to be like it is originally, running at 240p in 4:3 at 20fps? Sure, you play this thing however you want to. Tons of optional gameplay customization, bug fixes and restoration's of altered things that Nintendo changed with patches to the game if you want some bugs or visual changes re-added. Built in randomizer with a tracker and now for the first time an actual enemy randomizer. I could only imagine the things Nintendo themselves could do with the source code (well this doesn't really apply to the decomp projecst since they basically are using the source code but you know what I mean) if they only gave one little damn about the games, but no, they'd rather give us half working emulators that are objectively worse than what you can get for free on your computer right now. Like take the NSO version of Ocarina of Time as an example, even if the decomp didn't exist, this actual piece of shit doesn't let you properly rebind your controls, TO USE THE C-BUTTONS YOU HAVE TO HOLD DOWN A BUTTON AND THEN USE THEN YOU CAN USE YOUR C BUTTONS. IT'S MIND BOGGLING, HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR BASIC CONTROLS WORSE? Nintendo has been going down the drain quickly in my mind, just look at Mario Kart 8's new DLC, they are literally copy pasting mobile assets into the game that look like babby's first copy paste map mod you'd see in some PC game...

They even created a new challenge mode, which some of them required you to change between old and remastered to collect all helmets. Pretty dang creative. That's how a remaster should handle graphics and sounds.

    I really hope Nintendo preserves more games and does it better, the emulation for the newer games they brought back should have better emulation for the price you pay. Also a Pokémon black and white remake would be nice, they haven’t made a remake of those games yet, I get version 2 exists but the games are older now and they are also very expensive.

    Probably the coolest port of old Nintendo Games they did in recent times were definitely the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokémon games getting ported to the 3DS. Not only did they let you battle and trade with friends in these games you could finally port Pokémon from those games into the newer games. They also included the Surfing Pikachu mini game in Yellow which in the original was locked off unless you did something in Pokémon Stadium.

    The explanation is pretty simple: Nintendo hates their customers. Seriously, Nintendo doesn't give a shit what their fans want, or what would make them happy. They target gameplay videos with takedown notices. Someone puts up an archive of scanned issues of Nintendo Power (which Nintendo no longer sells in any form) and they immediately get it taken down. Someone making a free remake of a classic Nintendo game for a niche retro system that only a select group of people care about? Nintendo will stomp on it. Unauthorized game tournament? Not on your life! Nintendo may occasionally make good systems and games, but as a company, they royally suck ass.

    Bro. I totally agree. They need to bring Gamcube games to the switch. I Litterally play my GameCube more than my switch, and on top of that I own more games for the GameCube than I do the switch ( which is kinda crazy because they are usually about double the price of a used switch game)!

    I was kinda hoping Mario 3D All-Stars having an emulated Super Mario Sunshine would mean that GameCube rereleases would eventually become a much quicker thing like the NES, SNES and N64 libraries have been for the past 16 years, because there would no longer be a need to always fully remake the game to rerelease it, but who knows (Also, the Wii U couldn’t emulate GameCube games… but it really didn’t need to, Wii mode already gave the Wii U the capability to natively run them, same for GBA on 3DS, the 3DS can’t emulate GBA games? Doesn’t need to, it can natively run them through DS mode, so why wasn’t this taken advantage of for virtual console?)

    I think that’s also what “technically” makes Super Mario 3D All Stars a good deal, since it’s about the same price as a stand-alone GameCube copy
