im curiouse about this title. i was reading that mario galaxy is re-compiled for the switch. while mario sunshine and 64 are emulated. so if we have an emulated gamecube game does this potentially mean we could emulate more with the same method nintendo use? or have i miss-read about this?
First, my understanding is Galaxy is still partially emulated.
Next, in principle, it is possible to swap GameCube games and play them using the provided GC emulator. There are barriers to getting this to work, however, and it might not ever work.
thanks for the reply. so is anyone investigating this that we know off? i mean if its gonna work then i guess it would be low end games only due to the emulation
It's being investigated, but I doubt anything is going to come of it anytime soon, if ever. There's allegedly a lot about it that makes the emulator Sunshine-specific.
I haven't played it myself, but I've heard that it performs better than originals in most cases
Edit: Oh, input lag? Dunno about that, but I have heard that it's better than Wii U VC

Not unless someone goes ahead and converts it to work on Switch.
I understad where you're coming from beileve me, and yes I do hate scalpers too one person wanted to buy 8 copies but we set up a one preorder per person at the gamestop i work at we even gave out a mario hatas a pre order bonus we actually had too many delivered roughly 50 extra so we are selling them at 10 dollars each.
My only issue is that mario 64 has a 4:3 resolution when the other 2 games are 16:9 plus i was kind of hoping they would of added ario galaxy 2 and some mario party games mainly 2 and 1 as i feel just 3 games isnt very much

Sorry for the double post but I just had to add this Nintendo added an anti piracy measure when users use unoffical software aka custom firmware. so it wont work (for now)

No they didn't. It showed up a bug in CFW by using official features that hadn't been used before, but that's fixed now, and the games mostly worked on CFW already.
Also, in case anyone with more knowledge wants to look into it further, I wrote a breakdown of the .har and .hix texture replacement files.

It's applicable to both the Sunshine and Galaxy files, as they both run on the Hagi emulator and use the exact same format for texture replacement.

Did you look at the box at all? it clearly says that security measures were added!
Oh wait you must be a pirate so you didn't know that did you?

That'd be ludicrous.... Why would a former GameCube exclusive title need to support a Gamecube controller? Blasphemy.. /s
I agree. I'd like to play it with a GC controller over my Pro controller.
I almost always play handheld, but I tried it out on my new TV today. Galaxy looks very pretty in big OLED hi def, and the pointer works well - better than the TV's "magic remote" that also does a pointer using only gyro I guess.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
