      We have some and always turn off the 3D. It's annoying and silly. It's neat that they can do it, but the novelty lasts like two minutes then it is just awful. It kills the battery, too. These gimmicks never seem to do anything to improve games, they just take the focus away from making something interesting. 3D is good, but this weird two inch handheld 3D was just bizarre.

      @pay56 said in How to Play Wii Games on Ubuntu Linux with Dolphin:

      Can I play Wii games and Gamecube games if I install the Dolphin Emulator? Did someone try this with this emulator to play games from these 2 console games? I have found the games that I want to play and now I'm confused is this emulator will support them, I'm new at this so any new advice would be nice.

      It's specific purpose is Wii games, so yes, that's the idea. And GC as well.

      No surprise there. It's just the NVidia Shield in a different box. Nice for what it is, but really underpowered.

      It's rather odd that we have such a low standard on consoles vs other hardware. Tablets are obsolete at 6 months old, but console are still relevant at 6 years old.

      From the impressions I got, the Switch is mostly tablet anyhow...

      It's built from the guts of one, literally.

      @coliver said in Nintendo Switch Announced:

      To really shake up the market Nintendo needs to look at putting their backlog to mobile and PC. That would take Nintendo from a distant fourth in the hardware business to a serious competitor in the software business.

      Problem is... tons of their games are actually terrible and only sold because there was no competition. Of those that were okay, the majority rely on hardware gimmicks not available on phones or PCs. So porting the games is very, very hard. Anything since the Wii or DS era and you are seriously hampered in getting those games to another platform. Older stuff like GBA and GameCube you can port pretty easily.

      So even series that people liked, it would be a struggle to get the full series ported. And everything would need to be totally revamped or it would showcase how poor the graphics were in the originals.

      His comment is about the fact that Super Mario (a game from how long ago now?) is just now available on a different platform.

      The platform change is a big move, but come out with a new game if you're going to do it. Make a bigger splash of it.

      You do not get much bigger than Super Mario, nor the Apple iPhone event.

      Also this was Nintendo. I seriously cannot compute how you guys do not understand how big this is that Shigeru Miyamoto got on Apple's stage to do this.

      Didn't realize this was a fan boy thread. I'll show myself out.

      Yeah, neither Nintendo nor Apple make me hard, so I give this announcement a big "who cares?"

      I'm right there with you. Nintendo hasn't done much in the past 10-15 years for me to get excited about. This is cool because it means we may see some games like Metroid and Pikman on other platforms. Although we generally already have those games from different developers on the PC.

      10-15.... more like ever. They are a huge player, but their IP is garbage. Mario... sucks. Zelda...OMG it's awful. Mother was great, but Nintendo hates anyone who likes it. Starfox, lol.

      I know, right. She can't handle the enemies coming at her. She panics.
