Because when Nintendo remakes a game, the reason should be that its the only way to make the game truly good and interesting, not to "appeal" to people that verdict that any game before 2010 looks like shit and that the game plays uncomfortably.

Either re-imagine the game in a similar vein to the FF7 remake, OR do a heavily modified recompilation that's remastered, like in SM64 Render96, which, despite being fan-made, basically looks like a Modern Nintendo game, there's many ways to bring old games to life, but unless your a niche franchise or you think that it needs to happen to make the game interesting and enjoyable, there's no need to remake a game from scratch and keep EVERYTHING 1:1.

Hey everyone, we are considering getting my son a switch lite for his birthday. I have the switch 2, plus online/expansion. Would I be able to add his account to a family plan? Would digital games I had bought on switch 1/my nintendo account be useable for him on his switchlite if connected by a family plan? Anything else to know?

I'm having a display problem on my Nintendo NES. I'm getting wavy lines on the screen. Could it be the capacitors or the connections? Do you know of any way to check and fix the problem? Any tutorials? Thanks. https://www.reddit.com/u/iPodforEvEr/s/nsI24nsPUc

Hi.
I couldn't find other servers to ask this in.
Sometimes I go to Mario Kart time trial events, and the game's often displayed on a large outdoor projector. This comes with the issue of significant input lag, around half a second or more. Even if I practice the course beforehand, I feel uncomfortable with learning and executing complicated strategies on the day of the event, because the input lag throws me off quite a bit. The next event I'm going to will be a Peach Stadium time trial, and that course in particular has some crazy strategies that I'd like to learn and show off.
I have mostly LG TVs at home. If anyone's in the know about settings I can adjust to increase the input lag and hopefully simulate the projector experience, please do let me know.

“… what’s interesting is that westerners really put a lot of effort into creating their Miis. In the past, it was said that Miis weren’t necessarily designed to suit the faces of westerners, so I’m happy about this. I think it would be really interesting if this wasn’t limited to Pikmin Bloom, but could be linked with Nintendo Accounts and we could collect hundreds of millions of Miis.

Miis use very little memory. Nintendo is a company that is very particular about how to achieve the maximum effect with as little memory as possible. Normally, an avatar can easily take up several megabytes, but Miis are made up of only a few hundred bytes. This compact design started with the specification of wanting to fit dozens of people into a Wii controller, and with this, even if we had hundreds of millions of them, they would probably all fit into that small amount of memory.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if, in the future, Mii characters were attached to personal IDs all over the world? I can’t help but wonder if that’ll ever happen. I’ve been talking about something that sounds like a trade secret, but this is the kind of thing that should be spread around (laughs). Thinking about things like that makes every day fun.”

Star fox on switch 2 has updated graphics, dialogue, story telling, and online battles. It gets a metacritic score of 82, whereas star fox 64 gets an 88. So which is truly the better version?

The Sep. issue of Nintendo Dream includes an in-depth dev interview re: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

• Tezuka was involved in the initial phase. Later he was tied up with SMB Wonder, so Nogami took over the Producer role.

• The game was originally planned for Switch 1, but changed to Switch 2 during development.

• “No dying” isn’t to make the game easy, but to encourage no-holds-barred exploration.

• The encyclopedia concept only came into shape toward the end of development.

• Different chapters may not exist in the same timeline.

• The naming system was complex to implement, but a team member insisted on it.
