Hope we get Gamecube next.
I have a feeling we'll get the Game Boy family of systems before we get GameCube.
You might be right, but I would like to play Gamecube games in mobile and I can do that with gameboy games I already own. Also, Gamecube is much more scalped so the few games I don't have and want are over $100. We seem to be getting GB games in collections/remake right now (Advance Wars, Castlevania, Megaman as examples), but it would be easier for them to port gameboy so I see your point.
He's very right, first of all the gameboy is a portable. so its a much better fit for the switch, second, the switch cant handle gamecube games, unless Nintendo completely optimizes it which they wont as that would be released at full 60 dollars remaster version. I am 100% sure we wont see gamecube games in there, I can bet you anything on it, its just not possible.
Even the N64 doesn't run perfectly well, how do you expect gamecube?
Switch cant handle GC games? What are you smoking. Nintendo just need to optimise better for N64 games. Not the hardwares fault.
why are people asking for gamecube? Thats ridiculous, do you even know the specs of a switch? Are you guys just dreaming? Of yeah what next maybe ps4 games on the switch too?
The Wii was twice the power of a Gamecude, and Switch can run Wii games easy.
Reggie himself has even said that Nintendo can use GCN & Wii games to bolster their online service.
sure, keep dreaming, I guarantee you its not happening, unless its a remaster release. I can bet you anything, unlike you guys, I know a bit about emulation.
Factually inaccurate, based on GFLOPS, GameCube at 9gflops and wii at 12gflops, that's means it's 1.3 times more powerful, the point is that Wii natively support GameCube as the CPU and GPU very similar and same family.
exactly, these guys have no clue about emulation, you need a way more powerful system as a minimum to run old consoles. Example you need a PC several times more powerful than a switch, to run switch games at full speed.
You really do not understand how emulation works, obviously
I understand how emulation works. You are failing to understand how much more powerful the Switch is to a GameCube.
OK come back to me when the switch never gets any gamecube games.
If they don't cross over, its not because of the hardware. That's just Nintendo being Nintendo.
ETERNAL DARKNESS!!!
Star Fox adventures!
We wont, the switch doesn't have power to run gamecube games. I guarantee you that.
Stop trolling! You're not funny, at all! Just cut it out.
this is not trolling, I love my switch but I know for a fact it will never have gamecube games on the emulation.
You don't know that. Nobody does. You can not seriously believe that the Switch is to weak to play Gamecube games. It's hundreds of times more powerful than the Gamecube. It literally already has Super Mario Sunshine available, in HD even, which makes it more demanding to run than the original. Some of the N64 games when they launched on NSO had issues but that was all because of optimisation of the emulation. These issues have been fixed since then.
How can you not understand that, it's not rocket science. You're being beyond ridiculous. There's zero logic behind what you're saying.
Finish and release Earthbound 64 with all reported concepts fully realized :)
I'd love to see more Rare games like Jet Force Gemini, but the controls would need a major overhaul.
I believe they added modern controls in Rares Replay
Oh, that's cool!
DK 64 DK 64 i want to be King K Rool Cutout boss that still scares me to this day i want to beat that fear by beating it in Creepy Castle
