[QUOTE="Hadrian, post: 4444177, member: 27232"] It was actually Nintendo Japan that did this, they felt that the original wouldn't sell as well because of it's difficulty. Also That "hacked" game was actually originally intended to be a Mario game but became something else afterwards. Nintendo liked the Japanese game but felt that it wouldn't sell in the West so they put Mario on it, also it's more than just Nintendo putting Mario characters inside it. Microsoft bought Rare so Rare could no longer developer new titles featuring Nintendo characters. DK Racing DS already existed as a N64 game so Nintendo just got Rare to port it to the DS, Microsoft allowed this at the time because they didn't see the DS as competition (which is also why there is a Viva Pinata game on the DS). The "Donkey Kong characters" that are in Banjo Pilot are actually Rare's own creations and when Nintendo sold Rare to Microsoft, they also sold those characters so only Rare could feature them in new games. Starfox Adventures, during development Miyamoto felt that the character were quite similar to StarFox characters and suggested to Rare that the game could do better if it was a StarFox title. Everything else is pretty much easy to figure out yourself (have you even heard of Google & Wikipedia?). It's down to different markets. What works in Japan, doesn't work elsewhere. These companies do market research to see what the public think, they put out surveys with different titles, thoughts etc and the public responds, gotta give the public what they want! Other reasons as stated is down to trademarks, it may be fine to call a game one thing in Japan because nobody copyrighted that game over there but say when it comes to a European release they have to rename it as something else because the copyright for the name may belong to someone else. Also there are/were certain laws in some countries that state certain rules about games. Some places it's fine to have people running around shooting others in a war environment and it's fine for kids to play it, other countries that game will be rated mature...mature games means that kids can't buy them which means a game wouldn't sell as well...it's just common sense really.

@

:
The switch emulators on pc rely on your CPU mostly, and they only use a single core, so GPU not as important as a good CPU. I don't use switch emulator, but many here do, and willing to help.

No you are not allowed to discuss them here, against the rules of the site. Sorry. But you can Google Nintendo NSP and there will be a few listed.
