Mortal Kombat Kollection is a shoddy kollection with basic online features missing and input delay that i am wondering how it is getting such high scores?

The reason emulators suddenly got good in the mid-2010s is because they tasked Nintendo European Research and Development (NERD) with making all future emulation projects. Aside from that, the team mostly just makes weird little experimental projects, so they basically have all the time they need to get their emulators working right. Their first was the DS emulator on Wii U, and their latest is the GameCube emulator on the Switch 2. They even have a partial Wii emulator that was used on the Mario 3D All-Stars release, which presumably will be their basis for the Wii emulator they eventually drop on Switch 2.

And yes, it's the same emulator on Switch. So is the SNES one, being the same as the one on SNES Classic.

I've actually heard that the Switch's GBA emulator, Sloop, is more accurate than any fan emulator (at least when it was released).

sloop isn’t more accurate it just weirdly had some accuracy tests passed that none at the time had (and other tests failed that others passed ofc). net positive

the gigaleak also revealed NERD uses the community test rom :p

Good news, you can now play GTA:

Hadn't seen this series from a few years ago before, after the first part it seems pretty decent and generally honest for a company produced documentary:

& when PC players always talk down on console players, documentaries like this always remind me that I’m part of something great!!

That was great as was the interview thing they did with the key Xbox people.

The moment Peter Moore realized something was very very very wrong with Bonnie Ross and 343i. When all she could say she had a really nice office and no clue who any of the people were that worked there.

[Straight Edge]

Emulation is gay. Real ones play on original hardware.

Traded in some old PS3 and Xbox 360 games at a pawn shop. Got €1,- for each. And €15 for HALO MCC. Another store offered me 30 cents per game because they have stacks of these sitting unsold. Some pretty good titles even, Forza games, HALO games and MGS4.

One of the guys that worked at the pawn shop had been a developer on Killzone 2 and 3. He left the industry because of the insane working hours. For Killzone 3 they slept under their desks. That life wasn't for him. He was surprised my brother was still in the industry.

Honestly it feels good to get rid of this old junk and clear out some space. I'm certainly going to trade in more stuff.

I got most of these games for free anyway. Still I can imagine that if you spend on a lot of money on your collection and you only get 0,30 - 1 it hurts. 

[D3RANG3D]

Don't get me wrong I would totally buy them like for example NES games used to cost about a quarter to a few bucks and snes games  were like a dollar to a few dollars and n64 games were like a few bucks to about ten... before the whole retro speculation market! And that isn't even factoring in that some peoples consoles like their snes's are starting to die!

[Nintex]

Yeah I actually like it better this way. You can just buy the old games you want.

Still this is just the Xbox and PlayStation stuff. Nintendo is certainly more valuable because it has actual collectors.
But some of the prices people ask have no willing buyers and some stuff isn't really worth it.

Also you can fool yourself into thinking that one day you will hook up your GameCube and play those old games you love but it ain't never gonna to happen.
Not to mention most of the games worth it have been re-released an remastered by now.

The 360 has its fans for it simplicity and modern TV outputs. You can pop in games and play them from the disk. The graphics are usually good and the library is fantastic. If you don't want to deal with the online services I'd argue it's a much better console than the Xbone or Series X. When I look back I think Forza Horizon 2 was the last hurrah for Xbox. The last time they impressed me with something. Indiana Jones was impressive too but that was just Bethesda / Machine Games. Everything else was just another "Wait for Spaceworld" waste of time.

i think this is my biggest question mark at the moment.  ive already got so many newer games i will never play, am i really going to want to go back to 40 year old games just cause i missed them 40 years ago lol


well, maybe, considering all games nowadays are just gambling machines.  so playing a game that is just designed to be a game and not a moneysucking machine might be worth it

I go back and play old games all the time. But I emulate them. I still have some of my old systems and games, but it's just easier to fire up a handheld or retroarch and play them that way instead.

That said, there's plenty of people who go and hook up their old systems and play those games. It used to be a pain in the ass because newer TVs wouldn't play well with old hardware, but all you need now is an upscaler.

And LOL at paying insane prices for old video games.  If you insist on using the original hardware, just get an everdrive cart or whatever. But I'm always happy to sell somebody one of my old games for hundreds of dollars- thanks for funding that new PC!

I suppose — I never really felt the need to do much emulation once I… yknow.. had money to buy shit I wanted.  lol

I used to play emulated snes and previous console games a lot more in high school.  Outside of some RPGs don’t think I ever want to play much else…

it's not a money thing- emulation is way more convenient, plus you get upscaling options, filters, shaders, etc.  And on 3D games you can get smoother framerates, wide-screen or even ultra-wide screen options, higher resolutions, and more.  It can really help to modernize some games and make them look and run better than ever.  Want to play PS1 games without warped textures in 16:9 at 4K?  No problem.  Want to play Virtual Boy games in B/W or any color scheme to avoid that vomit-inducing red shade?  You can do that too.

I'm gonna be mild and say that whoever wrote this opening bit should die an excruciatingly painful death.

I'm too old for this I know but I'm kinda bummed out that Metroid prime 4 is looking rough. I really wanted a cool metroid prime game
