In an odd business move, Nintendo and Microsoft have been very buddy-buddy recently despite always being seen as rivals to each other. From encouraging tweets at each other, to cross-play, to some form of Xbox Live support on the Switch, the two companies seem to be the best of pals.

Today, Microsoft announced Cuphead for the Switch which to me, seems to be the first big fruit of this new relationship. Yes, studio MDHR made the game but if I understand correctly, Microsoft has all rights to distribute it.

My question is this. Is this the beginning of other major cross-overs (like a Master Chief Collection on the switch or Mario 64 on Xbox) or is this one of the largest things that will come out of this? I'd like to hear all of you thoughts

Considering they just gave up their last big exclusive to PC, I'm fairly confident there will be more. Microsoft is just starting to realize that their IPs are worth a lot more on other systems than they are on XB1.

    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
