I was able to emulate SNES games on a 32 MB ram computer and Pentium II processor…. Emulation isn’t that difficult and most of their virtual console titles are nothing more than that. The ones where they added 3d effects I will grant require probably a bit more power behind them but it’s not unrealistic for them to just dump their entire library onto a system.

Last note; I did buy the Pokemon Blue (Mostly because it added access to Pokemon Bank so that’s actually a really good upgrade honestly.) my complaint is how badly this port appears to be. I see stuttering and graphical glitches that I am fairly certain were not in the original and when emulated I didn’t have these issues. Hopefully they fix that in a later patch.

I hope my sarcasm was obvious. Though it does sound as if the way Nintendo is doing the emulation has a lot of overhead, so it may very well have been necessary to limit this to the new 3DS. I prefer to be cynical.

I’m happy that Nintendo finally has a powerful enough handheld to emulate SNES games. No one had ever been able to figure out how to do it before with any sort of acceptible performance (one assumes). I mean to say, I may have known people who ran such games via an R4 card nearly a decade ago, but that must have been a miserable experience for those unfortunate, misguided souls. Frame rates in the single digits no doubt plagued the emulation, which is totally unacceptable to me now.

Thankfully, not only has Nintendo cracked their own code with this New 3DS exclusive emulation technology, but they have chosen only the finest titles for us to purchase and play. I never know where to begin with such a vast library of titles available for old systems on ROMs, and it feels dirty to play these games without paying Nintendo for them, again and again. Not only can I now offer Nintendo to the money they obviously deserve, but I have their beautifully curated selection of games to choose from – streamlining the process for an uneducated half-wit like me.

Thank you, Nintendo!

It’s just as you said though. Cognitive dissonance has taken root in many people’s minds but especially in the SJW camp. They want to yell about ‘cultural appropriation’ and ‘oppression’ when all they tend to want to do is appropriate our gaming culture and oppress the ideas and entertainment we like to partake in.

The only consistency seems to be a desire for censorship in favor of protecting people’s feelings which is laughable when they don’t consider the feelings of those that want to see art as it was designed. It would be like chiseling off the penis of The David and covering him in a tunic. (Something I’m sure would actually consider because it’s offensive to some people.)

Also shouldn’t a business desire to create a product and let the consumer decide what is good and bad? If you make a bad product you should be punished but if you make a product everyone loves you will flourish.

I don’t think we have seen the end of the Treehouse of Terror. I’m sure we are just getting revved up for another season of doge memes and ‘it’s gross censor it’.

…on account of a recent Kill la Kill addiction…
Man, I recently spent a long night watching the last 3/4 of that show, it’s soo good. It’s like a mixed salad of everything fun from anime sped up maniacally.

This Alison Rapp character… why, based on what she wrote in 2011, wouldn’t she support the least amount of localization from Japan to us Westerners? I mean, I wrote several academic papers in a graduate-level School Psychology program in 2011 debunking thoughtlessly-accepted “research” connecting video games to violence, and yet I haven’t gone backwards on that idea at all. One must posit a hypothesis concerning a negative correlation between accepting SJW concepts and being able to process self-awareness of hypocrisy. If the awareness of the discrepancy were to set in, the cognitive dissonance would be too much for one’s ego (i.e. psychic equilibrium) to handle, presupposing a public meltdown.

Through the past year or so of this battle, I keep instantaneously remembering a quote heard long ago from a WWII documentary: “I was being a good German, only.”

I said like 3 times the same thing and nothing happened until I tossed out Godwin’s Feminist.

Your friend wasn’t singing from the pre-approved narrative hymn book! :D

What surprised me is that they banned my friend just for saying “Everyone better go pre-order now so they can scalp them later.” Because of the practice of people DOING that crap.

He wanted to make a point that I had to say something like that just to get banned and all he had to say was something cynical.

The most beautiful part was the wall of text “CENSORED” was shouted from the rooftops anytime we saw them talking about something they ruined. Including me. (Didn’t get banned till the end though when I copy pasted.)

I got banned from chat for copy pasting Feminazi because my friend dared me to.

Fortunately it’s Nintendo Direct and nothing really important.
