Yes! It depends on which Switch games, of course Switch emulation is a slippery slope of diving into drivers, settings and builds. But a lot of games run well!!
Even more surprising was WiiU (since that emulator is quite recent on the scene!), and PS3! WipEout HD: Fury was fun to play!
Little edit: I’ve actually got an article on Eden emulator coming up soon, I interviewed two of the devs, and I’m writing things up now. So if you’re interested in the ‘main’ Switch emulator being built and maintained, then keep an eye out for when I post it! You can just bookmark my author link here and when it’s up, it’ll appear there
the bigger wall with switch emulation on android is that mobile companies are terrible at writing gpu drivers when compared to conventional desktop/laptop graphics vendors. its why for example the older snapdragon gen 2/3 outperform their newer snapdragon elite counterparts in emulation.
theres significantly more setup time on mobile because some of the jank doesnt “just work”
The Snapdragon 865 is the undisputed winner of all for the Switch, even now after so much time has passed. Time will change that, and the community is what drives changes, but it’s definitely a unique scene!
If the SD865 is the undisputed champ does that mean that the Lite version is actually the best for Switch Emulation since that’s the one that ships with SD865?
While it’s outdated, its the divers that make it the better option for Switch emulation! But, with time will come drivers which make the newer upgrades work as well, like 8gen2. Right now, it’s the community support that keeps the 865 being the most stable and the one I’d recommend the most (with Turnip) for Switch emu!
But as for everything else? It’s a weigh up for what is most important to you!
3DS emulation still has a long way to go (the emulators themselves) since Citra got taken down. But some are making great progress, Azahar is a nice project to keep an eye on. Like I mentioned in the article…it can only get better!
As to original games being made after the systems shut down, I’d love to see that too! Now we’re seeing these retro handheld manufacturers pivot to dual screen systems like the AYANEO Pocket DS, AYN Thor and the Anbernic DS, there’s definitely a community and plenty of consoles to play them on!
I’m glad it’s good. Probably going to try to hold off until a sale because I’ve got my backlog full already but man, I’m tempted. Reviews sound great and a part of me wants to honour Itagaki by immediately getting in over my head in NG4 on Master Ninja.
I quite liked Legends: Arceus (pirated ofc) and will likely enjoy the new Legends game too. As much as it sucks to ever defend Nintendo, those two games in particular are exactly what I’ve been wanting: a Pokemon game that isn’t the exact same game for the 17th year in a row.
I haven’t actually tried Z-A yet, but L:A was really good imo.
I just gave this a go not expecting much. Man is it fun! And works great on the deck too! Playing with a controller makes it extra hard, but then again the originals were hard too and had even worse controls, so it fits well.
Oh wow. I thought this was just a fun little tribute to wolf3d. After two days and six hours of playing I now understand how wrong I was. After a few levels it turns out to be so much more, and just keeps getting better.
Its a fantastic game! Got really close to beating it but dropped off. Music was good, the actual monsters very fun. Some of the better pixel art and the controls were tight.
Some of the bosses are VERY hard, to the point I had to look up guides. Its worth the $$. Honestly I wish they had an easy mode or something to get us though the hardest parts.
Because Pokémon fell down hard after Gen 5, and has a lot of unrealized potential. It could be great if Nintendo actually cared about delivering a good product.
inb4 “akchually Pokémon games are developed by Game Freaks”
Nintendo has the power to tell them to fuck off if their games continue being worse and worse every year, but don’t.
If I had a penny for every time a loser went on lemmy/reddit to bitch about someone bitching about nintendo/pokemon, I’d be a motherfucking billionaire.
I will never understand why you goddam losers spend so much time obsessively discussing bitching about bitching a brand you claim to hate.
Please downvote and block me if you don’t like what I’m saying. I’m so damn sick of the bitching about bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.
If you think people should let you enjoy things in peace, you should let people not enjoy things in peace. And if you would shut the fuck up and read, maybe you’d find more games you could enjoy.
Sorry buddy but if someone doesn't like something about a game/company, and wants to complain about it, it's their goddamn right to do so; and if you consider the actions of said company recently, there's a lot to complain.
First time ever I’ve seen someone complain about Pokemon on lemmy. Only other time I saw Nintendo complaints was a couple of posts about Mario Kart during the Switch 2 launch.
I’m so damn sick of the bitching about fun games I’m trying to enjoy.
Most of us here aren’t braindead consumers who throw money at even subpar media, much less Game Freak slop. Could probably guarantee you most people on lemmy probably haven’t touched a Pokemon game since they were a kid.
It’s like a McDonald’s Happy Meal. It’s a targeted cheap product designed to make money.
Oh wow. It’s really pretty looking and the concept sounds interesting. It’s interesting to see the leap in game quality. I guess having that first game under their belt was good practice
Ugh, not available in my country because of stupid laws. My steam account is old enough to vote and drink liquor. But god forbid i could see the shop page of a game which wasnt rated properly.
Eh, Wolf3D (not to be confused with the OG top down stealth games that NOBODY played… and where the original levels fundamentally don’t exist anymore for fascinating reasons) was fast paced, for the time.
Yeah, it was very much slow room clearing early on. But from probably episode 3 on, you were generally run and gunning just because of resource limits and enemy health pools. Not to mention encounter design and more “hidden rooms” that open up when a fight kicks off.
And DOOM 2 was similarly fast for its time with encounter design specifically negating the effectiveness of the proto-cover shooter gameplay that DOOM1 actually was.
But yeah. This is very much more of a Rise of the Triad game. And ROTT was genuinely fast paced even for today (and can be REAL disorienting if you play any of the remakes).
But, I’ll take people comparing stuff to DOOM over calling it a “boomer shooter” any day of the week. Even if the vast majority of those are actually Quake-likes. Similar to how this gets the Wolf3D nod when it is very much an ROTT-like.
It is literally the “guy who has only seen boss baby” meme. The purpose of “game as genre” is to help people understand what they are buying. Souls games have gotten murky, but “a soulsborne” is a good way of explaining the basic gameplay loop and the ones that add their own thang to it (like Nioh) stand out. But we’ve also seen that fall apart with the massive pushback of “… Jedi Survivor isn’t really a souls game at all? Outside of the checkpoint system and i-frames?”.
Because, yes, saying that Call of Duty is “a DOOM game” would convey some of the mechanics of the game. But anyone who has played both will tell you they are VERY different games (even if there is a good argument that DOOM 2 and CoD are the same kind of cover shooter, funny enough)
And yeah, ROTT was not popular at all. But every few years we get an ROTT (mostly remakes of the same game from different studios) and people realize they were too old for that shit when they were 5. But for the people who DO love that gameplay? Not having to sift through every “doom game” or (ugh) “boomer shooter” would be nice. Same with how games like Strafe suffered from constantly being compared to DOOM when it was really kinda just a blatant reskin of quake 2.
Like I said, there are MUCH worse ways to characterize these games. But there is something to be said about discussing what the games actually ARE in the vein of so that others can decide if it is worth their time.
