So, its like Virtual Console?

I can't wait for this! It'll be tons of fun to beat up family & friends with this!

Yea, I think what Nintendo has suggested is that publishers are still free to push their own emulated ROMs, there just won't be a unified service like Virtual Console any longer. There are already quite a few old Neo Geo games on eShop.

I think emulators will be used in Switch more than in any other consoles

Who would want that terrible game? They did the same thing with the 3DS release of Drgaonball Z extreme butoden, and you got the Second SNES game which was leagues better for having better controls and overall gameplay (even if the game was left untranslated) Least you could have got the third game or Hyper Dimension. Or something more interesting like Dragonball Budokai.

I loved all 3 of them tbh.
Hyper Dimension is way better than all of them though!

Why not Hyper Dimension?

What if it has a secret code to turn SSB?

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

No Yamamoto score but cool nonetheless.

I never had a chance to pick up FighterZ, so maybe I'll get it on the Switch. Looking forward to this!

Interesting, wonder if people can exploit the Snes emulator.

Terrible? oh no no no..
This is the BEST DBZ game on SNES. The split screen battle and ki blast fight are revolutionary.

The split screen battle and ki blast fight are revolutionary.

Those features are present (and better) in the other two games that came after the first game.
Also I highly doubt anyone's with you calling this the best DBZ game on SNES lol.
I however spent hours with it and love it. Prefer the second game and Hyper Dimension though.

Yeah, and the second and third games do the same thing with improved gameplay.

Wasnt the snes game on the 3ds not emulated but a proper 3ds game? I mean, the can easily take the source code and port it to the switch, just like they did with the 3ds.
