The last great Nintendo console

[DinohScene]

I know, i am aware of that. There always gonna be some flaw in a port of emulation unless people are dedicated to fixing it to near perfection.

But i was just saying nintendo never added any Gamecube Virtual console. Makes me wonder why they skipped on that idea considering they just celebrated nintendo 30 years of consoles gaming.

If you want perfect SNES emulation then BSNES or ZSNES is the emulator to get.
it does require a beefy PC with atleast a speedy dual core and 2GB of RAM (as far as me memory recalls it)
If you compare the specs of the PC needed to achieve perfect emulation and the SNES it self, you'll see that perfect emulation on consoles will never happen without major recoding.

Me personal guess is that the GCN just is to new for Ninty.
Maybe the NX will sport GCN virtual console.

For the record, the Wii U has some NDS VC

Does make a lot of sense tho, utilizing the touchscreen of the Wii U tablet as the bottom screen of the NDS and the big telly as the top screen.
Hey, I got no connections with Nintendo, if I knew why they didn't do GCN VC then I'd prolly tell you why.

Edit:
Another guess would be the limited amount of onboard space (Nintendo please stop using flash based storage for consoles in a day and age of harddrives ruling the console market)

IMO, the Wii.

It was truly innovative (a big deal for the entertainment industry) and had excellent games that attracted both hardcore gamers and casuals, haters be dammed.

Actually no, it attracted FAR more casual gamers then hardcore gamers.
Reason why the Wii sold well was the revolutionary controls and the ease of use.
Especially for families.

Most parents of small kids got a Wii.
Statistically seen that is.

Gamecube, for sure. Classic games like Paper Mario Thousand Year Door, Baiten Kaitos, Melee, Windwaker, MGS Twin Snakes, and support from nearly all of Nintendo's first party IPs: Metroid, F-Zero, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Fire Emblem, etc. And the Gamecube boasted better framerate and performance in mutiplatform games like Resident Evil 4, Tales of Symphonia, Soulcaliber II, Sonic Heroes/Adventure 1+2, Skies of Arcadia. It was an AMAZING console, and though it sold poorly, it had a fantastic library.

The N64 had some gems, but they were too few and far between imo. The Wii is the exact same way. A few great games here and there, behind walls of crap and shovel ware does not make a good console. And the Wii U suffers the most from that.

Just no gamecube Virtual console.

Despite the fact the console was perfectly capable of virtualizing the GCN hardware.

I already use zsnes on my PC but since i don't use my pc as often i use snes9x ports for consonles like wii and android that work just as well.

To be honest the 3ds could have ported games from gamecube to it. Smash bros melee for 3ds and WII U. Super mario sunshine HD 3d, A NEW F-ZERO GAME Lol

As far as i am concerned nintendo losing and gaining new people working at the company and their attention to detail for what people really want is shifting to what to do to make them like our new ideas and next inventions. Nintendo will probably take gaming under groud or into space but not before anyone is reminded of E.T On atari

Nintendo is seriously losing people indeed.
Look at the Wii U sales.
It's pathetic compared to the PS4/Xbone.

Actually, the reason why E.T. on Atari sucked so hard is that it was finished within 6 weeks.
It's actually not a bad game considering the short amount of time it was programmed in, not to mention the resources available at the time.
It's the propaganda of every fool saying it's bad that the masses will believe it's a bad game.

Eh, avoid Zsnes, it's almost ten years old and no longer supported by the developers, Snes9x 1.53 (and its test builds) and/or Higan is the way to go. I've been meaning to make a blog entry as to why Zsnes should be avoided at all costs

Just my take on it

Then it's prolly BSNES
I believe that Temp even had an article on the front page about it.

I hope so, Zsnes is pretty bad emulation wise No worries

I got a terrible memory heh.
Anyway, name of the emulator doesn't matter to much.
It's the entire point that it requires like 140 times the original processing power of the console to emulate it without bugs.

I be happy if someone can port a emulator with msu1 to Android or consoles.

To bad the SNES never had "triggers"
Nor did the N64.
They where and still are shoulder buttons.

I'd say GCN.
Actually the last Ninty console that focussed on the core gamers.
Even then, the GCN saw a decline in games.

Nintendo scared away third party developers with their stubborn choice to keep cartridges for the N64.
If they used CDs (like the PS1) then they could've saved themselves.

The Wii was an amazing device. If it had HD, it would of rocked. Nothing beats playing a game with a nunchuck and wiimote with full motion. I fully expect the Nintendo NX to be full motion HD and focused on that, which is what the Wii U should have been.

For me that ruined me, for some reason I believe it was because dust, all nunchucks on all wii remotes would result in it thinking there is no nunchunk or it doing it's own inputs most of the time which I hated!

Maybe the first software sucked, but by the end they worked great. I loved skyward swords gameplay...the game itself sucked, but the 1:1 was so immersive.

That's a matter of personal opinions.
I do admit, it's quite fun and in some cases it's even better then a normal controller but eh.
A normal controller still is king.

Dirty contacts indeed is a problem.
But that's a problem with every console.

The Wii U could have been my next favorite, but it was very badly handled despite having a lot of potential
