I really hope it is approved, just for effort sake.

 

this software purely lives off a version that will never get an official release

everyone is just interested in the switch version, though nintendo will never allow this on the eshop (tbf, sony and ms probably wont either). also this still runs like poop for something that was supposed to be released (even if it wouldve been just a "beta" version) this last june or so. the framerate is way too low and inconsistent and you have input lag. also, the upcoming beta in january doesnt include the switch version, if anyone heres wating for that.


"i cant really play and record"
yeah sure, because laying down the camera and the switch on a table is impossible... its not because of the low framerate and input lag or anything like that..

 

He's just assuming based upon his heavily-assumed, flawed and skewed knowledge of Nintendo. I'm sure it'll happen.

 

The main moneymaker for Nintendo is their first party games, those Rainway will never play, so I don't see them being afraid of making money. 3rd Parties also still make money no matter where you buy it, so I can't see them being angry. Emulators have been around for ages, anybody who wants to play a game on VC without paying for it already can and probably does, the VC market of those who don't emulate on PC will still be there and probably won't go away. Plus, people may be inclined to purchase the native version of any game, even VC, to play without wifi/play when wifi is bad. I agree this has a rather low chance of being allowed, but I also see it is quite possible it'll make it onto the eShop.

 

Personally for me, the Switch has almost replaced my PC, and unless I can reliably stream my games on the go instead of just at home, I don't mind paying twice for an "on the go" experience of certain games. So far I own two copies of Rocket League, Doom, Skyrim, Stardew Valley, etc. I would LOVE to have a quick and easy way to run Skyrim, Doom, and Rocket League maxed out at home, but willing to sacrifice the quality when I am out and about. If anything, I wish in some cases, some of my game saves/profiles were cross-compatible, so I can play at home on Max settings, but pick up where I left off on the go. Maybe rent a cabin for a week or visit family in an area I know I won't have as reliable internet reception. But that's just a pipe dream I guess. Still, I'd love to have my PC games stream to my Switch, but I also don't mind having the game for easier access on the Switch either.

 

I really doubt a streaming app would hurt sales much, if I all. Not going to have good or any wifi every time you want to stream a game. Not to mention, not every single person will even use the app. Meanwhile, with this app, you give another reason to get a Switch.

Also, as mention, you got to worry about battery life. Not sure how it compares to actually playing a game on the Switch.

 

No it doesn't.

Was that last part sexual?

 

Erm...am I the only one skeptical of the video? I understand that he holds the camera with one hand, but playing with just one finger doesn't really say anything. I mean...he could be showing a youtube video for all I know.

But more important than the technical stuff is the question on nintendo's stance on this (which isn't mentioned). Ninty obviously knows that the moment this gets downloaded from the app store, people will use it to stream all sorts of games (including emulated ones). And do they really want that?

 

Probably Nintendo has told the developers that they don't want to have such an app and will never approve the app months ago. But sometimes next year the developer will tell us the Nintendo is soooo evil that they don't approve the app which they had developed for so long.

 

Would be so funny and amazing, if they actually approved this app.
