the funny thing is it seems like they did not remaster them at all, just threw the old binaries on there

It isn’t obvious what’s remastered about these. But there are some under the hood changes. I think the Sims 1 now runs on Vulkan, for e.g.

Yeah, they even made it compatible with the ridiculous Cyber Stick that came out in Japan last year:

The Switch 2 should cost $4000 and come with 6 new Mario games.

so they just included DXVK with the binaries?

I think that is literally the truth.

Also, more details about this just announced. Play operation wolf with the cyber stick just like an FM towns user

I’m gonna need arcade night strikers playable with the sega cd soundtrack please.

I, uh, actually sprung for one of these things last year to play with the egret ii mini and though it’s been about like 2002 since I played an actual operation wolf (3) cabinet with the guns bolted onto it, using the joystick to aim and shoot didn’t feel as unnatural/far removed from the original as i thought it would be. I wouldn’t recommend any non-freaks to import this but it is nice to have…I didn’t test mame compatibility and such but have heard it’s not too much of a hassle

Aqua jack and its terrain changes require me to actually use the throttle to brake and speed through stuff, but with night striker I can just crank up the rapid fire on the non-auto/homing shot button and waggle my way through and it feels like the weirdest, most effortless approach to float through that game blasting everything.

I got a pretty good deal on a used one (probably missing the box :frowning: ) ordered by seamail almost 3 months ago. hopefully it gets here by the time either game comes out.

Actually right now they have at least 1 more at the same price? somebody should buy it

Nintendo really said ā€œNo-one cares about mice for consoles but what if there were TWO of themā€

Imagine playing Geometry Wars or similar with two mice instead of twinsticks

They must have something planned for Animal Crossing 'cause I doubt Mario Maker is their killer mouse app.

reusing my commentary on the mouse thing:

I’m really hoping the new controller will bring Pikmin back to the accuracy of wiimote aiming, just in time for a true return to Bingo Battle and over 20 maps and sliders to adjust items, enemies, and such.
