emulator's + powerful pc + ps3/xbox 360 controller = better then orginal console (except n64)

cause playing in full frame rate is better then limited

[thegaminggoose]

@contineus999hungry You mean "than" not "then" But I forgive you. I dunno. I suppose it depends on what games you are playing. In my experience anything 8 or 16 bit is not as good as the console.

[risingfall]

you said its impossible to break a 72 pin connector for a nintendo? try owning a the same nintendo for 19+ years and tell me how well its working for you

[thegaminggoose]

@risingfall I think I said it's impossible to break a nintendo. Or at least that is what I meant. The 72 pin will go bad on their own. And my NES is working just fine thanks.

[shroyuken]

but the differences in emulation are so unoticable no one cares. and besides, old systems and games are expensive.

Ex: Secret of mana (SNES) cart price: $70.00

[thegaminggoose]

Secret of Mana is not worth you paying 70.00 RUN!

The Nintendo website states that EVERYTHING emulation related is wrong and illegal. Well, yes it is. But saying that it causes a serious damages to revenue - is bullshit, because Nintendo dropped support of NES 15 years ago and not selling it since - what damage could it be? And btw, there is many good games that is accessible only though emulation because of rarity, or because they was released only in Japan.

And it`s really doesn`t seems like emulation hurting sales of Virtual Console games.

[magicman1995]

I completely agree.

"The Nintendo website states that EVERYTHING emulation related is wrong and illegal. Well, yes it is."

So if I emulate a very old [20+] system, I'm committing a moral wrong?

So if I'm a video game company, and instead of porting a old title to a new platform, both platforms being owned by said hypothetical companies, and I just emulate on the newer console the hardware to run the old one, I'm somehow morally wrong?

Nintendo is full of shit.

[supershadow64ds]

@OldShcoolGameNigga ...or just scour yard sales. I got a super nintendo at a yard sale for 20$, with the RF switch box, AC adapter, 2 controllers, and super Mario world

[OldShcoolGameNigga]

hey guys when when u buy a console is for what? is to play games. u dont buy the console to get the console u buy it to play games. so if ur lazy to buy a snes, get an emulator.

[Neocasko]

@oRecluse99o Yep! I don't think most people even consider that.

[Neocasko]

@oRecluse99o And what about used games.

[Swat725]

Emulation= Mastubating- Console= Fuck with a girl ( get laid)

[shroyuken]

@vendettasoulman I know! some people just HAVE to have the originals, regardless of financial repercussions 

[travelsonic]

@celciones "The Nintendo website states that EVERYTHING emulation related is wrong and illegal. Well, yes it is."

Incorrect.
