...about their damn consoles
In the span of a week I've ran into two stories that basically boils down to "OMG! Nintendo sold us ROMs." Apparently these co called tech reporters are just finding out about a fact that we here at Temp knew about since 2009-ish. Wii Virtual Console games are basically a ROM + emulator + HTML instruction website. Seriously, WTF?! Why can't people take two minutes to actually learn about the tech that they buy?! These articles are just as bad as the idiots who still claim that Wii U can't play GameCube games all because Nintendo has not released an official Virtual Console solution. I remember reading an article about the Switch possibly having Tegra X1. The reporter mentioned now the Shield console could use Dolphin emulator as some near guarantee of GameCube and Wii support and stated something similar to: because it will be a Nintendo system, they could perfect the emulator. At that moment my mind goes... "No muthafucka, that's not how it's going to go. If it happens at all, Nintendo will just piggyback on Dolphin and only release the few games they believe will run smoothly. Did we NOT see N64 VC games on Wii?!"
It's stuff like that, that makes me want to smack idiots! Anyone here feels the same way? Has anyone had the displeasure of running into people spewing flasehoods about a console because they couldn't be bothered to do some damn research? What about people who are just beyond late on finding out something that's common knowledge?
