Gaming Will Nintendo allow rainway to happen?

I have a 16 port gigabit switch in my basement, which both my steam link and pc is wired.

That's even better. The way this house is structured I can't run ethernet cables everywhere, but on the 5GHz wireless band streaming is pretty much flawless. Maybe 15ms input lag.

But even cloud gaming has less than 10ms lag.

Again depending on your connection. Not a one size fits all thing.

Well lets compare to other Netflix-like services we see on the Xbone and PS4. For Microsoft, the Xbox game pass is $10 a month. While for Sony, the PS Now service is $20 a month. (Keep in mind, the PS Now library is substantially larger than the Xbox game pass library, with both services only offering titles from 2 of their systems (their current one and the one before)). At $20 a month including your online access fee a month getting a selection of ideally hundreds of games spanning the NES through the Gamecube, and the GB through DS. Its actually a price right in line with what the competition is doing. And of course if you paid a yearly fee you'd get a discount just as Sony and Microsoft's offering allow for.

Why wouldn't I want this? Having access to all the best old school games without having to pay for each of them individually would be a dream come true, especially for a system like the Switch that you can bring with you anywhere. I'd be all over it and I know I'm not even close to alone, I've floated this idea on other message boards (and other threads here in the past) and overall people seem excited by such an idea.

So paying $200 in a year is not a problem? The thing is I don't like to pay for roms that i don't own in the first place, as long is separated of the $20 dollars for online in a year I would be ok with that because I won't be paying that $20 Netflix subscription alike

But the current price is just $20 a year. In the worst case that could go up to $35 with GC/ Wii ports, which will still be decent.

Is pointless for me backwards compatibility if I have the system or I if can emulate it, so the increased price for more vc games is a no no, $20 a year is not expensive, but still I wish it could stay free

Well the servers won't keep running forever without maintainance or power.

I got the vita and try it can just got discounts. Gave up on it.

I wish I got discounts on my Vita. You sound rather ungrateful for being blessed with such opportunities for bargains.

Sure they can, with this one weird trick: releasing server source and binaries, and adding a custom server option in games (like almost every PC FPS had in their golden age)

Less load on official servers, can be moderated as hard as they want without displeasing anyone, and most cheaters out of the way... the current way aaaalmost sounds like it's an excuse to rip extra money off people!

Lol....
I meant disconnects.

Idk where my mind was

I'm just going to be the person to ask why we're not hearing any news about talks between the Rainway developer and Nintendo, especially with Nintendo of Japan here...?

 

[DreIceAge]

Lemme get this straight. With Rainway, I could stream RetroArch from my PC and play emulated SNES And N64 games on Nintendo Switch in handheld mode and while docked, on my HDTV?
