Why does playing on the NSO emulators feel so much better and more authentic than any other kind of emulator? Logically my brain recognizes it's the same thing and in some cases even uses the exact same ROMs, but there's just an unquantifiable soulfulness and realness that is present in Nintendo's official emulators that isn't there if I play on my PC or something.

>>11214560Probably because you're playing them on a TV
>>11214560>Lylat Wars
>>11214560You have a bad case of brainless consumer syndrome
>>11214560Probably just navigating the menus on official nintendo hardware with no jank. That and your heart recognizes the lack of sin.
>>11214560because your brain has to rationalize paying 20$ to not only use your own internet but also to be happy with dripfed stolen roms
>>11214560It's because you're using a console.You can get the same effect by loading emulators on a Wii.
>>11214565>>11214586I don't think that'd work for me, my brain would recognize that it's illegitimate and thus feel that I am having a lesser experience
>>11214591>my brain would recognize that it's illegitimate and thus feel that I am having a lesser experienceyeah you should get yourself checked for tumors
>>11214591Probably not. I relate to what you're saying about NSO emus feeling more legit but I also get that feeling playing them on my modded wii. Take a little time to set it up nicely so you're not just scrolling through a raw file directory and it's top tier emulation.
>>11214591You are having a lesser experience. The emulators are complete shit, they didn't even bother cropping out the overscan in NES games and there's an ugly as sin border around the game that's impossible to turn off.
>>11214560Don't the NSO emulators have some pretty noticeable input latency?
>>11214578It's this reason that the SNES Classic works so well for SNES games, even hacked it "feels" authentic, and the built in emulator is simple to use and runs great
>>11214560least mind-cucked nintendo fanboy
>>11214572yeah that's pretty confusing, why didn't they just call it starwing 2

>>11214560>playing free ROMs on your PC through free emulators is... LE BAD.>playing ROMs you pay for monthly on your modern console is... LE SOVL.I think you just really like your Switch and Nintendo, and fair enough, but for most people it's still the same thing, worse than on PC actually, since you have to pay for it.

>>11214560>Why does playing on the NSO emulators feel so much better and more authentic than any other kind of emulator?it doesnt.youre just shilling for modern nintendoi can only hope you at least got paid for it, but i sincerely doubt iteither way, kys yourself
>>11214645yestheres been better, more accurate, free emus since before the switch even came outno one should be paying for this shit. period.
You play it with a N64 controller, right? Mapping the c buttons to a stick feels like trash.
>>11214743>theres been better, more accurate, free emus since before the switch even came outName them.
>>11214831
>>11214818The one thing I'll say about NSO is they've given us some fantastic bluetooth controllers. I use the N64 one with my actual console, and it's perfect.The SNES and Genesis ones are also great to use.
>>11214560The switch joy cons feel like dog shit for trying to play goldeneye.
>>11215058Here you go Anon
Don't agree at all. I hate the stupid border.
It's the menu sound effects for me. You usually don't get those in an emulator unless you have a frontend.
nintendo switch is simply peak comfy

Shill thread
Worse emulation than actual emulators + can't freely choose what games to play and when, hell no partner. It does feel more official though, because getting a technically limited product is quite authentic for nintendo
>>11214560>Why does software made by a team of some of the world's most most gifted programmers btfo a bunch of people doing it as a side-hobby to stroke their ego.
I think it's having limits imposed on you. 20 games and only 3 of them interesting If Netflix only had 5 movies a month i would probably love them all. But when i open the screen and see 9000 icons of shit content it makes it all seem less valuable Its fucking stupid but i think its how our brains work maybe
>>11214560Really, I feel better playing on retroarch bsnes and snes9x and yes I have all of them installed and yes I randomly choose which one to play and forget that I saved in a different emulator and yes it is annoying and yes I have thought about only using one emulator... Im not going to.
>>11214582Delusional
>>11215494You have to disconnect value from the art like a true patrician. Millions of people flock to the Mona Lisa every year but they don't necessarily understand why it's considered a masterpiece of portrait art. Meanwhile you can walk around parts of the Louvre surrounded by other great works by artists like Manet and Rembrandt and see few souls. Without disconnecting value from art, vidya, film, then when there's an abundance of it you'll naturally appreciate it less. Also it makes it harder to filter out the good from the bad and no that's not subjective.
>>11215494This is why you shouldn't use ODEs with disc based consoles.Just burn a bunch of discs. That way, you have to put effort into each game you want to play, and each game is now a physical object that you're more related to. You can also buy discs in only packs of 50, so you're limited to only 50 games, gotta make it count.
>>11214560Remarkably gay post. Nintendo's official emulators are dogshit.
>>11214560Something something don't ask questions something something consume product
>>11214560The lack of options.Something bothering you, acting weird or something and the first thing heavy emulator users do is poke around the settings to fix it which detracts from the experience of playing a videogame.Somehow by providing a shittier service Nintendo manages to blur the line between emulation and playing on a console because it is what it is and you can't change anything to take you out of the game.
>>11214582Stolen ROMs? I thought downloading ROMs wasn’t theft?
>>11214560This is bait
>>11214560It has that authentic nintendo SOVL magic
>>11215491n64 emulation is legitimately worse on switch than it is on pc now, we're not in the virtual console years anymore
>>11215531This is how I play dreamcast games and it does make them feel lore substantial than turning on my 64 and having the whole library on my everdrive
>>11214560Name of the game top-tight please.
>>11217362Sin and Punishment
>>11214560I own a Switch, I go in on a family plan for the NSO with a bunch of family and friends so I pay like 11 bucks a year. I'm not going to be convinced that the old VC model where you pay 5 bucks for some piece of shit like Urban Champion is a better model.Yeah I own a good chunk of these games physically and yeah I have most of the rest downloaded on my laptop or an Everdrive...but the NSO is perfectly fine, convenient and even cozy way to play these games (OK the N64 emulation and controls is sort of ass but I'm not a big N64 guy anyway). Playing SMB 3 on my Switch during a cross country flight from start to finish was a great experience.I even get excited when they announce a drop, even if it's some rentalcore slop like Kung Fu Heroes or Prehistorik Man - I'll play them. I'm a consumerist sheep, whatever. I don't care.That being said I do wish they'd put some sort of effort into translating some of these games (menus at least) or taking the next step and getting CD based games on there. Also if/when they start removing titles from the service I might be singing a different tune.
>>11217405>or taking the next step and getting CD based games on thereI've been wanting them to add Saturn games for a while. Dreamcast would be cool too, but I think that's unlikely considering Sega and other devs would probably rather sell DC games as full-on remasters. Saturn stuff never gets paid attention to otherwise so it would be a great fit for NSO
>>11217362>>11217392ty anon
Why are blatant tendie marketing threads allowed to stay up on here?
>>11214560you're honestly delusional it's the worst way to play these games
>>11214560I doesn't. Those emulators have rewind baked into them. It's the worst way to play games with emulation possible.
>>11217715This
>>11214560Drinking fluoride reprograms your brain so you feel good when you do what your masters want. It makes subscribing to emulation feel good and makes gaming on memehelds like switch and steamdeck also feel good.
>>11215741Then we’ll ship your PC, anon
>>11214560It’s because some people don’t know how to use retroarch.
>>11217594Yeah I'd happily play stuff like VF Remix or Astal.
>>11214560The complete opposite for me. I'd rather they just sell these games on the switch store front rather than just using them as bait for their shitty paid online service
based nintentard
Because it's coming from an honest business rather than shady quasi-legal sources.
>>11219461>it's coming from an honest business>sells 3 roms for 60$ with barely any other features as their anniversary title
I agree with OP and yet I am simultaneously bitching about it every moment I use it. N64 of all consoles is the one that noteably suffers the MOST from not having a CRT, and it's the only one without a fucking filter. And even if it did have it, the ones used on the others is doshit. You'd think there'd be more than a single fucking option.What makes it worse is everyone takes the opportunity to hop on the border memewagon like youve never played with a kiddy themed crt before with garish borders, or as if it fucking matters at all when the actual image quality is horrid. Now we have zoomers looking at wave race's logo who will think to themsleves "I can ai upscale this"
Cope emulators are superior
>>11220838Name one that's superior
>>11222318all of them by virtue of being free
>>11214713Green Hills Zone was such a classic background wallpaper.
>>11214879>I use the N64 one with my actual consoleYour actual N64? With like a special bluetooth connector port thingamajig?I have mine synced to my Wii U.
>>11217405>Also if/when they start removing titles from the service I might be singing a different tune.This is bound to happen sooner or later, though because of the long term strategy of NSO and counting the titles from launch are still up perhaps they are 10 year contracts or something.Regardless, you're pretty much guaranteed first party titles will always be available which is the meat of the service. Third party titles are mostly from either very small companies or abandonware so I'm guessing it's dirt cheap to renew them even if no one plays them it makes the catalogue more "impressive" so it's worth it in the end.It's only the big name third party titles that might get removed, but even then, the ones released on NSO are shit the companies don't care for, I mean will capcom/Konami really get pissy over the original game boy versions of Mega Man/Castlevania? They'll sell the versions they can in collections, they don't care about random spin-offs. So I'm guessing for the most part most third party titles will stay but it'll be fine if they remove a couple, especially since they'd be releasing other new titles as well.
>>11222839Yeah, aside from the first party stuff, the NSO is kind of a dumping ground for stuff companies would probably struggle to sell for cash separately. Though the Genesis one is full of games that Sega tosses one those Genesis collections they do once a console gen now.
NSO is comfy as hell and I'm tired to pretend it's not just because I can emulate better on PC for free.First of all I already have to pay for online which sucks but I like to play some online games so technically NSO is "free". I also pay my percentage of a "family" account so it's literally like two dollars a month for it.Having all the games on a the switch which I can take anywhere instead of having to turn my PC on and get distracted by other apps is a bonus. The fact that all games load quickly is great. Going through the catalog is fun and i play games I might not have ever loaded up and have fun. When new games are added I check out games I've never played. Something I don't do with a .zip file with every NES/SNES/N64 game ever made. So yeah I like it.It doe suck that you can't map the buttons and can't change the background, doesn't have enough filters options or hacks besides rewind and save states but whatever it works. N64 is the biggest offender since the control methods suck.Online would be a huge win for the service but sadly it's only with friends and I have none who can play when I can.
>>11215073why the hell wouldn't they make them in different colors?I have a ton of grey n64 controllers, I do not need another one
>>11214560It's because you're playing an official Nintendo product. Their products have this je ne sais quoi that unofficial emulators can't capture.
>>11223779They don't even make enough to sell to customers and have to limit it
>>11223824>Their products have this je ne sais quoi that unofficial emulators can't capture.We call that 'post purchase rationalization'
