I wish Nintendo would release the Virtual Boy games to us on NSO.

Let's be honest, the only good game on that platform is Wario Land. Even Mario Tennis and Mario Clash suck.

Do we know if they've kept the Princess Peach shower scene in the remake? If not, that might also be a target.

That probably will stay, since it's an important plot detail. It's the main reason why TEC falls in love with her. He even tells her that he wants to "observe her". I think the devs took inspiration from the movie "Demon Seed" from 1977
 
if not a collection then at least as seperate entities but make them updated HD versions or something... in full color with the option to change the resolution to original virtual boy mode for that "authenticity". Release them for like under $20 or something (possible under $10 if they are generous or if they wanna put this on sale)

Yes.

But no, sadly. Even though I wish. Maybe I'm wrong. But... I'll keep a Virtual Boy running for you guys.

Without the 3D effect they'd probably need to rework it, I know they would with Wario Land VB. 3DS really was a missed opportunity.

What does the 3D effect actually give you? Make closer items look smaller than far away ones, just like you would in any game that takes place in three dimensional space. I never got that about so-called 3D games.

I only played a little of Wario Land VB, but according to a good review by Lonely Goomba the effects are used pretty heavily in the final stage, and effects gameplay.

I'd like to post this here before literally everything leaks. I was reminded by the Harman Smith thread.

Nintendo has a pretty simple path for making the "Switch 2" hardware look good, enough to encourage more third-party ports. It only needs to be good in relation to the Xbox Series S, which the industry has to cater to for years to come.

They can probably get away with a weaker CPU and GPU if the target for handheld mode is 720p or 1080p and 30 FPS. Games might even use DLSS at this stage. Then they can lean heavily on DLSS and clock speeds to pursue 4K or higher FPS when docked. Upscaling native 720p or 1080p to 4K is always possible, not great but it might look ok if designers are careful. The rumors point to the use of ARM Cortex-A78 cores, which are much faster than Cortex-A57, and Nvidia Ampere or Lovelace for the GPU architecture.

RAM is the fun part. If they go with 8 GB, everyone will shrug. 12 GB would surpass the Xbox Series S, which has 10 GB, 2 GB of which is running at lower bandwidth. 12 GB would already spark interesting conversations about porting games to it. It seems impossible that Nintendo would opt for 16 GB, but if they did Nintendo fans would celebrate.

They can improve storage easily. Switch 1 has 32-64 GB of internal eMMC, and the max read speed may be well under 250 MB/s. They could give the successor 256-512 GB of UFS or a slow PCIe SSD (even PCIe 2.0 x1 is faster, higher-end Steam Decks use PCIe 3.0 x4). Matching Xbox or PS5 storage performance is unnecessary.

I have no plans to actually buy a Switch or Switch 2, but I might pirate and emulate some of the games by 2040.

We'd be lucky to get PS4 level, you can forget about Series S.

edit: Anyways, as for good Nintendo content might I recommend Nintendo Forecast on youtube? He's a faggot of the homosexual variety and definite Kool-Aide drinker but has also really done his homework in regards to Nintendo teams and who makes what. He was also right on the money about Switch 2 getting delayed with him stating it was due to the weak yen rather than lack of content.

The title got a chuckle out of me, honestly I can see Nintendo putting it out and it becoming a best seller. The cardboard shit a decade ago was just as retarded.

The cardboard shit had a purpose, as it was aimed towards kids (even though soyboys bought it anyways)

I don't find the idea of strapping a switch to your face that appealing. If people thought their eye-sight went to shit with the O.G. VB or even the 3D of the 3DS, this thing will most definitely kill it.

Better it stays as an April fools joke.
