N64/Megadrive Switch Online Expansion

Fysh · 10-10-2022 4:08pm

I was disappointed to find that Wave Race 64 left me cold, so am somewhat interested to see if Pilotwings 64 fares any differently. The SNES version was one I came to very late in the day and never really got on with - I admire what it was trying to do, but Mode 7 wasn't really up to the task IMO.

Did you try the Japanese version of Waverace?

It's much better with the addition of force feedback

2 days ago (07/11/22) was the 25th anniversary of the European release of Goldeneye.... Nintendo missed a trick

What a legendary piece of entertainment. Changed console FPS for the better forever.

Yeah was sure they'd drop it on the Switch then

wonder will it be next year now before it gets a release. a quick search leads to the consensus being the xbox version will be 2023 so i wouldnt be surprised if the switch is the same unfortunately

You might be right, hopefully not a sign of a deal being broken in the background?

id be very surprised if that were the case, i think nintendo and mircrosoft are trying their best to play nice at the moment. on EON's end, id hope they arent causing any rights problems at this stage seeing as their 60th anniversary output has been pretty poor so far and a goldeneye re-release would at least be something.

one theory is that it will be added to NSO in december seeing as it would line up somewhat with what was announced for the rest of the year. hoping thats true but then again i was hoping it would be out back in march too

I wonder if they updated the controls to utilize the two thumb sticks instead of using one?

Mr E · 27-01-2023 9:06am

Out now...

CiDeRmAn · 27-01-2023 3:43pm

The controls are a pig, ah well

Mr E · 27-01-2023 3:47pm

Saw this on facebook. Don't know if it will make a difference. :)

The Nal · 27-01-2023 4:04pm

Might stick to playing it on the PC, can customise the controls there.

gouche · 27-01-2023 6:58pm

I set co trolls to 1.2 in game. Then remapped some controls in the switch controller settings, swapped the control sticks and the shoulder buttons. Made it a lot more playable.

There's guides online in how to do it, https://www.gamespot.com/articles/theres-a-weird-way-to-get-modern-controls-for-goldeneye-on-switch/1100-6510906/

And you can save it as a preset to easily switch back and forth.

CiDeRmAn · 27-01-2023 9:01pm

I ended up using the lowest tech solution imaginable.

Just held the left and right joycons in the right and the left hands, now movement and looking are in the right places, just a little adjustment for the button assignments but at least it's workable.

Hopefully there'll be some sort of better solution later

CiDeRmAn · 28-01-2023 1:10am

The Xbox port just adds two extra control methods in the QWatch menu, one of which is a modern CoD/Halo type mapping, plays much better as a result.

Also, it can be streamed, so I'll be able to play it via Xbox Live, an iPad and a decent controller.

Len_007 · 28-01-2023 5:34pm

Is there any way to adjust controller sensitivity? I can’t aim to save my in game life

I have two spaces left on an annual family subscription for this, 8.75 each for the year. Let me know if interested!

No its abysmal. Stick to the PC emulator.

Id be interested. Can you send me a DM if you still have space. Thanks

CiDeRmAn · 16-02-2023 1:27pm

The Xbox port of Goldeneye is much better, certainly from a control perspective.

It is unfortunate, the Switch port of Metroid Prime has a modern control scheme that works really well, Goldeneye really should have the same.

RobbingBandit · 18-02-2023 7:21pm

Give the people what they want often backfires on the people I had to stop playing Goldeneye almost immediately as I can still only play in handheld mode the virtigo effect and absolutely abysmal controls are a killer.

I will still boot the game up once a day for the theme music alone 😂😂
