In regards to X, they should finally bother to translate the expansion kit stuff for it.

>>16693656

Why would a plug and play console need a charger anyway?

>>16693517

Thatd get my money

Mother 3, and Dinosaur Planet.

Not going to happen in a million years, but I want it.

>>16693501

Did you miss than Banjo is in Smash now? Nintendo are in bed with Microsoft, it's going to happen.

>>16693485 (OP)

Realistically this is not going to happen. Why? Because nintendo just ripped off their NES and SNES software after pirates. And pirates have yet to make a fully functional N64 emulator thanks to weird architecture of the N64. You think nintendo is going to waste extra resources making a function emulator? No, they're not.

>>16693950

They already got N64 games running on two separate consoles with virtual console.

>>16693950

they don't need to make a good emulator, they just need game specific hacks for their in house n64 emu that ran on VC.

>nintendo just ripped off their NES and SNES software after pirates

nintendo complies with gpl licenses.

>>16693950

But they did. Wii N64 virtual console was based on a Nintendo-developed N64 emulator. It wasn't perfect, but it worked.

>anons actually discussing this

You're gonna be upset about it when it gets announced anyway, why bother?

>>16694145

I just wanna play Mario Party, Mario Kart and Smash Bros.

>>16693485 (OP)

>>16693501

>>16693517

I honestly hope they do start re releasing old Rare shit just to flex on Playtonic fags

They won't. Instead they'll announce a GameBoy Mini that's GameBoy Micro sized.

Releases in two colors. Big Grey (Includes Pokemon Red, Silver and Ruby) and Advance Indigo (Includes Pokemon Blue, Gold and Sapphire). Can use USB cable for charging and link cable. When they do release an N64 mini you can use this to play Pokemon Stadium (2), Mario Golf and Mario Tennis with link cable stuff.

>>16694518

Release some kind of minipad clone and offer the classic controller as a sold separately extra.

>>16694560

Given how pace that N64 is advancing and SoC's power are advancing, how long do you think it'll take until it's viable?

>>16694596

>>16694560

Given the pace that N64 emulation is advancing and SoCs' power is advancing, how long do you think it'll take until it's viable? Please excuse my lack of English.

>>16694518

They might have special bundles with four controllers for extra or something.

>>16693485 (OP)

Just the good games and maybe Superman 64 just to make people mad

>>16694577

This would be acceptable, although how hard would it be to have the Gameboy Mini Classic accept cartridges. Really thats what I ask for and only gay clone machines and fpgas give me that.

>>16694518

Jesus fuck, was the system really that small? I haven't seen one in person since probably 2006 or so.

>>16694577

>some kind of minipad clone

Id like to see that. Especially if its a reskin of the pro controller.

>>16693485 (OP)

It's not gonna happen because Nintendo are kikes. They discontinued the NES and SNES classics because "muh hackers" who rigged the consoles to where they could play tons of games. It's the same bullshit with them and ROM sites.

Fuck, forgot to replace Donkey Kong 64 with Mischief Makers. Oh well, I'll live.

>>16694518

Seriously, whoever did the controller design for the N64 really fucked up hard.

>>16694606

>>16694596

>Given the pace that N64 emulation is advancing and SoCs' power is advancing, how long do you think it'll take until it's viable?

Whenever you learn to stop being fucking retarded.

>>16694796

There's always third party alternatives.

>>16694639

It's not that the n64 was small, it's that its controllers were pretty fucking big. Think about it; each prong is meant for a hand to grasp around, meaning it's roughly 50% larger than your typical modern controller.

>>16694945

As a kid I remember the console seeming gargantuan while the controller was pretty normal, or at least normal enough I never had to stretch my fingers to reach any of the buttons anyway. I saw a 360 controller the other day for the first time in nearly a decade and I felt like I could crush it and my hands aren't even big. They're like 7.5 inches from wrist to middle fingertip.

Does the N64 even have enough games to support a plug-n-play edition?

>>16695010

Yeah, you could probably fit 30-40 games on there.

>>16695016

>Implying the Gamecube wasn't better than the 64

I never mentioned the Gamecube, what are you talking about?

>>16695018

Even then, half of them would be mediocre at best.

>>16695018

That would be around 10% of the entire expanded library of the whole system.

>>16695010

What kind of question is that? There were near 200 games released for the system in Japan alone, and like 100 or so more for western regions. Considering most plug'n'play systems carry maybe 50 games, at most, that's well more than enough.

>>16695028

exactly

N64 was kinda shit in all honesty. Didn't have that many good games compared to the PSX.

But I'd like to see Tetrisphere and Goemon's Great Adventure.

>>16693485 (OP)

>>16695079

>Didn't have that many good games compared to the PSX.

Yeah, well, can't trust Sony to make a good PSX-mini, apparently.

>>16695103

Oops. I apologize for that misfire.

>>16693485 (OP)

>>16693501

They probably got a deal on Rare games while they were negotiating Banjo for Smash.

>can emulate n64 games on literally any android device

>durrr I wanna pay 80$+ for 12~ games and a plastic box

Ultimate soy. same goes for NES, SNES, Playstation, and Genesis minis.

>>16695414

Didn't the dev himself say had the game been completed and released, it would have been terrible?

>>16695492

Yes, the team didn't have experience making 3D games but Nintendo wanted it for the N64. They had to get help from several other studios to make it. It was a complete mess.

Nintendo weren't the ones to cancel it, Shigesato Itoi was. Shigeru Miyamoto actually wanted to take the the assets and finish the game with a different team, but there wasn't enough time before the release of the Gamecube.

Mother 3 on the GBA was what the original SNES game was meant to be.

Cancelled games are usually cancelled for a reason, it annoys me how many people act like certain shitcanned games were lost gems or something. Watch early footage of Earthbound 64, it looks awful.

>>16695414

HAHAHAH!! NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Where's Quest 64?

>>16695539

In a garbage can.

I'm more interested in the TG-16 that was rumoured a while back.

The N64 did not age well (and not just because the controller turn to absolute shit after a while) but good 2D is pure forever.

Plus there are some really great TG-16 games that never got the love they deserved.

>>16695995

>I'm more interested in the TG-16 that was rumoured a while back.

That wasn't a rumor.

>>16695997

Hot damn. I might actually get one. I know I probably shouldn't, but I never got to own a real one when I was a kid so it would be nice to live that little dream.

Only the goodest of goys buy this mini shit. Stick to emulation as it's just as good/bad.

>>16696014

That's what you think kiddo.

>>16696014

Xbox fans don't want to play old Rare games, and fans of old Rare games don't want to buy an Xbox. That's been the drawback of the Rare acquisition since the start. Microsoft would probably make more money this way.

>>16693583

What's the point of "Classic" consoles at all?

Other than catering to nostalgiafagging bingbing wahoo'ers.

>>16695414

>Earthbound 3: The Final days of the King Pig

Why did they have to make up the title

>>16698338

So in a court of law they can point to it and say "Yes, we are in fact still selling this game today." so they have a leg to stand on trying to shut down emulation.

>>16698459

They're already selling them on digital stores jackass.

>>16698459

keeping the emulation nigger down, how dare they

>>16698465

>emulation nigger

I say "emulation" but it's the isos and roms that get sites taken down. Emulators are perfectly legal.

How are you going to use a flashcart without the iso/rom?

>>16693485 (OP)

>No Mother 64

>>16698928

>At least with classic edition consoles, you have the convenience of being able to plug n play these games in a less expensive and more practical way.

Through emulation?

>>16698932

Yes.

>>16698928

>authentic

>authenticity is being able to feel cheap plastic

I will never understand this vein of nostalgia. I simply have no desire to hold cartridges, or CDs again. Remember CDs? Remember how nobody gives a shit about those because they're a cheap and lifeless data medium? Yeah, that's how I feel about carts. And cassettes. Vinyl is perhaps the one exception because it is an analog medium with pecularities about how it is utilized that makes the listening experience actually different. Digital information doesn't work that way; it's either there or it isn't.

>b-but physical

Your physical copy is just as volatile if not moreso. You could lose it, burn it in a house fire, etc. And god help you if you don't live alone. You could keep all your shit in a strongbox I guess, but that's more hassle and expense, as opposed to having your ROMs on a cloud storage network or multiple HDDs.

SNES Emulation on PC is about the furthest thing removed from difficult I can imagine as well. If you have a good device/emulator you may not even need to set up inputs. From there, it is download emulator, download game file. Done. I get that you have buyers remorse but coming online to justify it anonymously only makes you look worse.

>>16698763

If you don't have full or curated sets backed up by now, you deserve to have everything taken away.

>>16698932

>paying for overpriced, limited shill boxes is less expensive that downloading roms for free

this is why they keep making these classic consoles. it's for retards like you.

>>16699054

Yeah but the damage was done, at the time they went "pay us" they were the only significant N64 emulator on the scene if I recall right. Eventually we'll have a truly good N64 emulator but chances are we could have had it sooner.

>>16699002

I like the heft of an old cartridge. I feel nothing for CD's or those newer wafer thin cards though. Too fiddly.

>>16698928

ALL CHECKS OUT

>>16699054

Project64 is open source. It has been since 2013. Mupen64plus is still far better for actually having good community development, for being cross-platform, for having better general code quality, for not having horrible nagware in the software and installer, and for being actually fully open source (Project 64 is FOSS, but some plugins required to use it aren't, last time I checked).

Is Project64's sound code still fucked?

>>16699170

I see it as similar to saying you have a "lucky" or favorite dollar. Money is purely a medium for transactions, it has no inherent value except to historians (but then everything has value to a historian). To get attached to a dollar instead of the thing you bought with it is like being attached to a game cartridge instead of the game that is stored inside.

ill put out my theory, Nintendo is having trouble running an n64 emulator on a cheap arm device, or at least without notable glitches. I would guess though that if they cant get some of the more intensive games they will shortchange people. Remember that the snes classic had less games than the nes classic, who knows if we even get 15 here.

>>16699054

PJ64 1.6.1 works fine for 90% of games and has no intrusive shit or malware like some of the later editions did. Somehow, the later editions managed to be even worse and downgrade alot of the stuff that worked fine in 1.6.1. Mupen64 is still better, but has a smaller catalog of games that work without issue.

>>16699515

>Somehow

Well that happens when you remove all code not made by you and therefore not monetizable.

>>16696834

Do you really want Banjo to look like the overly-furry abomination that is nu-Crash, or two-thirds of the cast of the CTR remake?

>>16700024

No. The hacking community had a literal Reddit/Discord fight and split up, so the only hacking options are infinitely inferior to just fucking emulating.

>>16693485 (OP)

>Cartridge slot is closed off

>Usb ports under where the controllers would go

>Completely different hardware

Nuh-uh. I hope people don't entertain this trend. You're essentially being sold pi's with pre-installed custom os and emulator.

>What'd you like to see?

Entirely new games made within the original n64's hardware limitations. The real challenge would be to make good games or sequels to already well made existing titles.

>>16693485 (OP)

>Classic consoles

I sure do love emulating but with extra steps and having to pay for it…

>>16694560

that image is stupidly misleading -- it suggest that n64 software doesn't use function calls / call graphs when it means to say is that libultra provides cooperative multitasking.

nintendo is notorious for providing useless documentation to its developers, I doubt anyone has ever found this shit useful.

>>16693485 (OP)

Pokemon Puzzle League for some puzzle representation that doesn't have to go through legal stuff with The Tetris Company.

>>16696834

>Skylanders: guest starring the cartoony Rare characters!

>>16700067

>Entirely new games made within the original n64's hardware limitations

the n64 is a piece of shit so no one wants to develop new games for it. They'd rather work on the saturn over any other 5th gen console and that says a lot about the n64.

What would you guys say would be the best way to play n64 and ps2 gsmes on any portable device?

Is it even possible?

>>16714728

It had plenty of good games. The fuck are you talking about?

Even if happens, don't expect it to have the hacking capabilities of the NES & SNES minis. I'd expect each game to have a specifically talored emu with exact configurations made to run it well enough to look "accurate" to the untrained eye. Any attempt to inject different, downloaded roms would likely cause the emu to crash or run the game extremely poorly unless hackers figured out how to access the settings for whatever emu Nintendo develops.

>>16693950

If Nintendos VC emus were taken from enthusiasts (which they weren't, they were either in-house or done by M2), it wouldn't have taken 12 years for them to emulate SuperFX games on SNES mini. The only thing "stolen back" was some NES ROMs that had an iNES header on them.

>>16714944

Nice dubs, but N64's library really is anemic compared to PS1 and Saturn. No, there wasn't "quality over quantity" bullshit either; many devs outside of Nintendos stable of regulars (basically EAD, Factor 5, and Rare) were turned off by its frankensteined architecture as well as the low ROI on carts being more expensive to produce and thus sold at a premium. If it weren't for Pokemon's success at the time, N64 could've been to Nintendo what the Saturn was to Sega: a powerful but cobbled together system that only found success in one region and put a nail on its hardware division.

inb4 BUT THIS FORGOTTEN OBJECTIVELY MEDIOCRE 3RD PARTY GAME IS A REALLY HIDDEN GEM meme

>>16715046

>N64's library really is anemic compared to PS1 and Saturn

That doesn't mean there was a lack of good games on it. And most of PS1 and Saturn libraries consisted of inferior arcade ports, shovelware and games that were superior on other systems.

>>16715063

>That doesn't mean there was a lack of good games on it.

There were, but not as many on its competing systems, moreover nearly single classic game on the system has been discussed and played to death. It's gotten to where N64fags are championing shovelware on it as classic

>And most of PS1 and Saturn libraries consisted of inferior arcade ports,

<Namco arcade games on PS1

<All those 2D arcade games on Saturn

<inferior

Try to not speak about shit you never played.

>shovelware

Which the 64 had in its own right. And yes, the PS1 was magnet for shovelware like every other top selling console before and after it.

>and games that were superior on other systems.

Funny considering how N64 ports of PS1 games were usually dogshit.
