The next addition to the Nintendo Switch Online classic games library will be the iconic Nintendo 64 game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It'll be landing on the service next week, on February 25th, for all NSO + Expansion Pack subscribers.

As of right now, there are 11 N64 titles available on the service, with the most recent addition being Banjo-Kazooie. Other games such as Mario Golf, Pokemon Snap, and F-Zero X are expected to hit the Expansion Pack as well, given the fact they were previously teased in a trailer by Nintendo.

Link is dragged into the world of Termina, where the moon is falling from the sky!

That's no excuse. Wii VC emulated OOT just fine.

My excuse: Nintendo doesn't know how to build emulation software.

Very true, at least the Wii VC N64 emulation was optimized per game and actually ran well for OOT.

Maybe the Anju & Kafei quest is patched out, it's controversial after all.

In what way?

Wow, what a fucking shithole this is. You guys think people can't be happy with whatever they have? You feel the need to criticize their choices every goddamn time. So what if I want to play Majora's Mask on Nintendo Switch Online? Maybe I don't want to bother loading a ROM on Project 64. I'm sick of reading comments like these, honestly

Some people love wasting their time discussing about stuff they dislike instead of what they like (What i've seen so far at least) Even though I also don't recommend the Expansion for the price.

In what way?

He's probably talking about how they

Spoiler: sidequest spoiler

become a couple at the end of the sidequest despite Kafei being turned into a child

They won't cut it though, so far all the N64 games are non modified roms with some graphical patches.

That technically an adult has a love affair with a child.

Can we get off the VC's back?
It's completely different hardware.
If anything, Nintendo is just stringing emulators together to emulate it.

And doing a shoddy job too

Depends on the genders. If a female teacher "abuses" a boy, people are suppossed to be outraged but it is simply different.

Spoiler: Kafei´s Quest

Seeing how a man turned into a boy is still loved by his former wife/girlfriend makes the love more touching (and non-sexual).

 

[the_randomizer]

They patched it a while ago but I think from MVG's video on it, it still had rather awful fog.

The texture was fixed but fog is broken

 

[WG481]

Yes. We are well aware of this.

Nintendo had a team who optimized games on a per-game basis. This is why VC was superior in emulation quality.

Kind of tired to read people talking shit they don’t know… NSO is NOT the exact same emu as 3DAS, they are similar but definitely not the same, they have different options and settings, if you were following a bit closer u would know people tried different games on both with very different results.

As for “optimized per game basis” this is still a thing otherwise “injection” would work flawless on NSO and this is also not accurate. They rely heavily on different settings and lua scripts for EACH game.

The so called “wrong fog” is also inaccurate, why couldnt ninty just made the conscious decision of removing that fog? U do know that was used to “fix” draw distance on N64 and there’s nothing good about it in 2022.

Lastly, ive put 50 hours on both OOT and Banjo and had enormous fun with both without noticing a single drawback…again as I read before its easy to bash talk a service u have no interest on and make it look 1000x more problematic than actually is.

Just save ur money without the expansion but stop spreading a biased opinion who contributes nothing to the debate.

NSO is perfectly fine and if u play online MK8 DLC alone will be worthy the expansion.

 

[cvskid]

NSO is crap and VC is better so i hope nintendo lets people buy games again. I don't know how people can be satisfied with renting games that runs worse on newer hardware than previous hardware.

Define worst dude, cuz the only REAL problem that was the water temple was patched, you guys are a bunch of ninty haters and always the SAME EXACT USERS repeting the mantra against NSO…

I really pity u guys, cuz its clear none of u are NSO subscribers, prolly dont even own a damn switch but every time this is mentioned here I need to read the same BS…

The emulation still sucks. Also I'm not wrong, so piss off.

 

[M7L7NK7]

Do you even use it? You always mention you just have ROMS

What does it matter what I do, that's not your concern.

Lol you’re just a troll dude.. go get a life instead of posting this shit EVERY FUCKING TIME nintendo announces a new addition.

I’m a SATISFIED NSO subscriber so piss off if you can’t accept others (vast majority) have fun and doesn’t get bothered by all this elitism nonsense around 30 years old games…go back to your pc/roms and stop spamming here.

How is it fair to critique something you don't use
