Blade Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if you leak things on such a scale, there will be repercussions. As I said, they let leaks slide for the most part, it's just the scale of LPVG's leaks has really pissed them off. Repercussions? Do we live in a totalitarian state? The media's job is to report, they seek and are then fed information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serebii Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Repercussions? Do we live in a totalitarian state? The media's job is to report, they seek and are then fed information. Talk about taking things to extremes. Good grief. Again, I'm not saying the media shouldn't report what they find. I'm saying that ALL companies, if someone has leaked company secrets on such a level, will not play nice with those people. Doesn't matter if it's their job or not. If you can't see that, then you are blind to the ways of the world. Stop acting like Nintendo's just being silly and blacklisting people who leak. They don't do that (trust me, voice of experience here). It's the scale of the leak that has resulted in what has happened here.

GameCube VC has to run games at higher resolution than original. Dolphin does it so Nintendo have no excuses.

Always rare to see irony in Serebii's posts. I do want to genuinely say that I find that latter statement arrogant, belittling, patronising, rude and incredibly insulting towards Blade. I'm bloody glad he's decided to take your post for what it's worth and treat it accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the most ironic thing I've ever read Anyway, jealous of all those that will be at the January event as I'm getting pretty excited about the Switch now. Gamecube VC games are a must and are probable given that we are now going to have a controller with analogue sticks and analogue shoulder buttons again.

A couple of GC games at the beginning (Melee, Luigi's Mansion) followed by 2-3 games a month would be great - I need some time to get through the games! That said, I do hope they go the extra mile with these games. Upscale them and let us play online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yeah, the current wii u/3DS vc library there from the start, then a steady flow of new titles. NES Mini emulation and options seems like a clear insight into Switch VC and that would be incredible. I'm so excited for the switch. Everything is sounding like they are doing the right thing.

Serebii Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 If there's extra work put into the Virtual Console like there was Wii -> Wii U, I'm fine with upgrade fees.

killthenet Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) I think they probably could have done it on Wii U but the console was probably dead in the water when they sorted out the technical aspects. I'd be okay with paying an upgrade fee if this is the last time we have to do it, I don't think there are many games that I'll want to transfer over though but i'll definitely hold off on buying any more VC games until the Switch is out. I wonder if they'll change their pricing structure or if GC will slot in between N64 & Wii in terms of cost. I'd guess around £12.99 would probably be suitable for GC games, but it would be nice if they came in at £9.99 and reduced N64, GBA, SNES and NES accordingly.

Retro_Link Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Hope we get obscure Gamecube games like Chibi Robo, Billy Hatcher, PN03, Monkey Ball 2, Viewtiful Joe etc... Sunshine, Mansion and Melee are all good, but I personally don't feel the need to replay them. I'd love to play through 1080 Avalance again.

Ike Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 NERD are handling the VC emulators? It's probably worth the upgrade fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I genuinely can't believe we're only now getting Gamecube games. The lack of analogue triggers on the Gamepad was the main issue. Multiplayer would also have been impossible given that only one gamepad could connect at the time and a Wiimote would have been impossible to use for any Gamecube game that use analogue movement or analogue triggers (most of them). Frustrating, but at least they are on their way. Hopefully the can upscale them too to 1080p - Melee, Prime and Sunshien would all look beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony have done the same before. Why is it an issue when Nintendo do it? :p You mean extra work like when they made everything darker than it was before? :p There are a bunch of games on the Sony platforms which were free if you bought them on the PS3 and then then were released on PS4. Not to mention they've promoted things like cross buy for two generations now. If you're referring to the PS2 classics, these were cleaned up for HDTVs and had trophy support added. Even then I don't even think many titles crossed over in terms of what was released back then to what has been released now. Off the top of my head I can only think of the GTA games. It's going to be interesting to see if the start from scratch again with older stuff, especially the NES games. We are living in a post NES Classic world so surely they can't charge what they have been charging for these games....right? Hope we get obscure Gamecube games like Chibi Robo, Billy Hatcher, PN03, Monkey Ball 2, Viewtiful Joe etc... Sunshine, Mansion and Melee are all good, but I personally don't feel the need to replay them. I'd love to play through 1080 Avalance again. That would require 3rd parties to play ball. Capcom are probably fine with it but Sega done sod all/very little with the VC this generation. People on Gaf mentioned that Baten Kaitos should get a VC release. I approve of this suggestion.
