There are some pretty great third party USB NES and SNES controllers out there, but the official NES Classic controllers (and presumably also the upcoming SNES ones) can also be used with a Raspberry Pi via a USB adapter or wirelessly by plugging them into a Wii remote and connecting that to the Pi via Bluetooth,…

Hey, did you know...

I can’t believe we’re getting secret of manna and earthbound and super Mario RPG on the same system

It was finished, just not released because the N64 was about to be released and they wanted to make a new, 3D Star Fox game for that.

I wanted Chrono Trigger.

I’m a poor person who doesn’t own a Switch yet but I’ve really enjoyed playing VC games on my Wii U - just using the GamePad on its own to play them so it’s a simple handheld console with a bigger screen than my 3DS. Having a Switch for a fully portable version of that (plus Zelda, Super Mario Odyssey, etc.) would be…

If fans can edit the ROMs to change the title screen (effectively putting the Japanese title screen, with the correct number, into other regions’ ROMs) without any source code, then Nintendo certainly could. Not sure why they haven’t, possibly legal/licensing issues with Square, or just to avoid further confusion, but…

III was a NES game so it’s VI under its original, confusion-avoiding, English-language title of III.

“Having modding in GTA V harms no one.”

Of course they do, not saying they don’t, just saying the timing is unlikely.

Agreed - that’s an assumption and I wouldn’t assume a woman plays video games any more than I would assume a man does. I know plenty of men my age and younger who, if I suddenly started talking about Skyrim, would say ‘Wait, is this a movie or a TV show?’ because they simply do not play video games and are not even…

Haha, yeah, like he was totally going to go back to it this weekend if OpenIV was still around.

And yet they’ll still ban people who are not using and have never used mods for no reason (although usually thought to have been because they happened to be in a game with someone who was using mods) and without recourse, refusing to even discuss it with them. I’m actually scared to play GTA Online on PC in case I get…

Hehe, Fallout...

*Hear, hear.

I have seen them sell for hundreds on eBay. Not sure why Nintendo haven’t fixed/improved the emulator and re-released them or any other games, especially now that they can take advantage of the more powerful New 3DS, which enabled them to add SNES games.

Yeah, I have now. You obviously installed an injected ROM and just forgot where it came from. :p

Yeah, I have nothing against Microsoft attempting to build up their own PC store either, but I am pretty frustrated with their inconsistency in terms of what they do and don’t release on Steam. Last year, they said they would continue to release games on Steam, but for the most part they haven’t. Quantum Break,…

No GBA games are on the eShop. There were 10 GBA titles made available as part of the Ambassador program but they have never been made available on the eShop and no other GBA games have been released, possibly due to problems with the emulator as it lacks features that the other Virtual Console games have such as save…

CFW = Custom firmware. If you install custom firmware on your 3DS you can install any games you want on the Virtual Console, even ones that haven’t been officially released by Nintendo because it’s possible to take ROMs from the original console (so for example a GBA ROM that you would normally use in an emulator such…
