The way Nintendo works it is going to be something like 35th Zelda Anniversary: Ocarina of Time Remastered, Four Swords Adventure, Skyward Sword HD and bonus unlockable Tingle’s Balloon Flight for $60. That will release alongside Twilight Princess HD, which will also be $60.

I think a Zelda 3D collection of some sort is coming. I don’t think you’ll get all the games for $60 though. 

I’m skeptical that there will ever be a Gamecube/Wii VC on Switch.

I feel your pain. It’s hard for me to play the Switch in portable mode, even with a grip case. I don’t think the joycons on their own are too bad though.

I bought my Wii for like $20 online just to play Skyward Sword. I had to go to Best Buy and pay like $40 for the Wiimote+ to play the game. I ended up spending way more money on the game and controller than the Wii itself. I never tried playing it with one of the original controllers, so I’ll take your word on it.

It looks like you need to use the Joycons and it will work just like the Wiimote did. I don’t know how you would play the game properly in handheld mode without Joycons. 

The Wiimote just works so much better for shooter games than the Gamecube controllers. I gave up playing Prime 2 in frustration on the Gamecube and then picked it up on the Wii and it was a much better experience. Besides actually looking good on a modern LCD (unlike the Gamecube unless you can find a component cable),…

If you watch the full announcement, it also includes Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario All Stars as separate products.

It was also the fact that it was the original N64 ROM that you bought and they couldn’t sell it for more than the other N64 VC games.

That’s not usually the Nintendo way. It’s the same game, only it renders in HD, has better textures, better settings on the rendering engine (improved resolution, et cetera), and some minor gameplay improvements.

DLC?

I mean, that does call into question how is it enforced. Is it enforced through the local courts who just say, “hey, this wrongful detainer lawsuit is going to be dismissed or put on hold because the landlord hasn’t proven they don’t have a government-backed loan”? Do tenants need to sue in federal court for an…

I mean, the President doesn’t have the ability to do that on his own and frankly, I’m not sure the US really has the budget for it either.

Yes, the author here is interchangeably using “defrag” with “trim” when they are not the same at all.

The Switch has a 720p IPS display. The Vita originally shipped with a smaller but similar pixel density OLED display. The Switch’s display was much closer to what you would find in low-end tablets at launch while the Vita was a lot closer to the highest-end smartphones. The Vita actually had an insanely good screen…

I meant the value of the hardware at the time the Vita came out was much higher than the Switch, in terms of what you were paying for the console. Even if you throw out the R&D cost, I’m not sure Sony was even breaking even as the thing had a lot of the same guts you would find on much pricier smartphones at the time.

The current Switch hardware, to the best of my knowledge, technically should support 4K rendering at 30 FPS and the current Switch Tegra chip should be able to support 4K 60 FPS decoding. I’m not sure if they’re intending or capable of enabling 4K video support in older Switches.

4K graphics aren’t the same as games rendering at 4K. Right now, the Switch outputs at 1080p and most games render at a lower resolution.

4K capabilities doesn’t mean 4K games. It means that they’re going to include hardware that’s meant to fully support 4K output, including a GPU that can use newer 4K video decoding standards. It doesn’t mean that most games are even going to exceed 1080p, much less run at a full 4K.
