Why don't you own a homebrew Wii? Dolphin is straight dogshit.

>>716181773 (OP)
Same reason I don't have a PS3. Every game worth a damn on it has been remastered or remade for newer consoles.

>>716181773 (OP)
Actually dolphin let's you play gamecube games the best looking way

I was thinking of playing it soon.
Is Newer SMB mod still worth playing today?.
what games you playing OP

>>716182062
where is your waggle brah

>>716182062
I don't know another console this is more true than the ps3

>cubie literally begging people to play his shitty console
>its not even the shitcube, but the wii LMAO
crt+ps2+hdd=20$ better games and controller than shitcube and pii is why

>>716181773 (OP)
Where the fuck are you getting Wiis for under 30 bucks?

>most accurate
Nintendont isn’t accurate if youre speedrunning or rng abusing games albeit

>>716182427
I still see them like that at my local pawnshops / thrift stores

>>716182427
thrift stores, got mine for 5 bucks (original price was 10 but they had %50 off)
never buy retro consoles online, it's a pure scam

QRD?
Doesn't it let you choose between original and old school soundtrack?

>>716182567
Nintendont is using the native hardware of the Wii, it's not an emulator. It runs identical to Gamecube unless you change a bunch of settings

>>716183005
Switch version of TTYD is
>30fps instead of 60fps
>way slower and more sluggish in menus/combat
>forces animations to complete before you can select an action
>way easier (already an easy game too) with wider windows for parries
>drowns you in coins and resources
>text is waaay slower and you can't scroll back
>censored dialogue changes
>straight up removed many sound effects
>crams hints down your throat for every puzzle section
>allows you to run away for free and instantly retry fights with no penalty
>many sections lost their atmosphere and ambiance
>even with nostalgic tunes, many tracks are just missing
Only a soulless golem would think the demake is better

The artstyle does arguably look better, and characters are more emotive in some ways, so it really is a shame they went out of their way to fuck it up so much.

>>716182062
>Dead Rising Chop Till You Drop is remastered
No it ainte, retard.

Also I have component cables for the Wii but the HDMI adapter is so ez.

>>716182913
>DK Country Returns (remake is a downgrade)
How? Having regular controls instead of waggle should automatically put it leagues above the original.

>>716183308
It's missing a shit ton of effects/details and the artstyle is worse. It also somehow has even longer load times than the Wii version. The entire game was rebuilt in Unity so I'm sure the physics are different too.

With homebrew Wii, you can just use a cheat to play with classic controller

>>716183308
>>716183417
You can easily use normal controls on a modded Wii. https://gbatemp.net/threads/help-with-patching-dkcr-iso.565607/

>>716183417
What about the 3DS levels?

I prefer using my gamecube for gcn games, but the laser is going bad and I'm too afraid to tear open my 24 year old piece of hardware trying to fuck with the potentiometer

>>716183175
It's a common theme with Nintendo. only thinking with bells and whistles.
what a shame.
thank you for taking the time anon

>>716181773 (OP)
>most accurate
I'd rather play in 4k.

>>716181773 (OP)
That's a lot of work I'll just keep using dolphin

>>716182427
Go to actual thrift stores. Not Goodwill, they offload everything to online auctions first then if they don’t sell they put them in the storefronts. They are also prohibitively expensive.

This was 9 years ago. No upscaling chip will ever compare to natively render the games with more resolution.

>added input lag
>incorrect timing
>artifacts and inaccuracies
Nope, it's still garbage.

>>716185104
Wind Waker HD was heavily disliked on release for its excessive bloom and killing the original art style.

>>716184704
...why? Wii has native Gamecube hardware and you can use Gamecube controller, and with homebrew, you never even need to use the wiimote for the menus

>>716185123
Imagine lying just because you got btfo, so sad, that video is perfect

>>716181773 (OP)
But I do. I even have a SNES controller adapter for those 2D games. It's the slick black Wii, which looks awesome with the dark menu theme

>>716185180
all that tells me is you're a sheep parroting "popular opinions." HD is the best way to play it.

>>716185104
TP remake
>added stupid immersion-breaking amiibo garbage in
>absolutely ruined the Epona physics
>ruined lighting/bloom
>casualized and streamlined a bunch of mechanics
>increased the already massive wallet size for no reason
>reduced the damage of a bunch of enemy attacks
>made Link's sword just phase through walls massively reducing the challenge of close-quarters combat

Certainly not a terrible remake, but why would you pay $50 for something that is inferior in so many ways when you play the original developer-intent game for free?

>>716185191
Because I have both. Naturally, I want to use both. My GCN is on my CRT, and my Wii is on my bigger TV. Yes, the Wii is homebrewed.

>>716185215
>this one game looks good in a YouTube video, that means the emulation is flawless!!
You are an absolute retard. Stop speaking.

>>716183417
It’s not missing a shit ton of effects. What they forgot a sun effect in one level and the beam doesn’t come out of the mouth? Some minor texture differences are cancelled out by all the improved textures. We see this with every single remaster, because things are subtle different or missing or changed it’s garbage. Apparently the Metroid Prime remaster is pure and utter trash because god forbid the door texture is different.

>>716185602
Basically every level is missing multiple effects. It's not minor at all. And the slower loading alone should be enough for it to be a downgrade. Plus, just like the shitty Katamari remakes or the N.Sane Trilogy, Unity remakes completely change the physics, it's not the same game.

>>716185504
>>added stupid immersion-breaking amiibo garbage in
you don't have to use them

>but why would you pay $50
nigger it's 2025 you don't have to pay for shit. learn to torrent and then kys.

>>716181773 (OP)
>Gamecube and Wii games
Not only that but plenty of older games too, if not all of them + some third parties.
The Wii is fucking amazing.

>>716185591
Anon, it looks fucking PERFECT on the video of a 9 year old dolphin build, seeing it real time looks even better and emulation has improved leaps and bounds since then. There is no excuse to not play with perfect gameplay and better quality.

>>716182913
lol this is embarrassing, the re4 shitcube version isn't even as good as the ps2
smelee is garbage

kys you consoomer subhuman retard

I like how you just straight up ignore that the lighting and physics and game balance are just butchered.

>>716186004
>I like how you just straight up ignore that the lighting and physics and game balance are just butchered.
it's a stupid lie i'm not even going to entertain

>kys you consoomer subhuman retard
not a consoomer if i pirate the game and just ignore the amiibo shit instead of acting like a fucking autistic retard sperging about it like you are rn, you fucking imbecile dweeb

>>716185681
>download the shittier version that is 6x the filesize
Absolute retard

>cubies trying to latch onto the wii for relevance
lol how pathetic. the gaycube's legacy really is shitshine troon speedrunners and being an addon to the much superior wii

>>716185823
Why's the PS2 version better?

>>716186147
better controls, more costumes, more weapons, widescreen, more scenarios
meanwhile cubies trying to keep the shitcube relevant in anyway they can:
>u..uhhhhh the cutscenes look better and uh...they broke the knife damage when they ported it to other platforms

>>716186121
sorry pedro not everyone needs to watch the size of the stuff you download. i bet you watch YIFY movies in 720p. lol absolute pleb.

>>716186095
Skin tones are ruined, lighting/bloom are ruined, font looks worse, even the blur from the Gamecube version adds more to the dreamlike look of the game.

And the gameplay changes are just downgrades across the board, shoehorning in stupid gay amiibo dogshit, streamlining all the content because they're afraid zoomers will get bored or frustrated, massively increasing wallet size, decreasing damage that hazards and enemies do, absolutely ruining Epona physics (this is blatantly obvious and arguably the most egregious change), and making your sword literally just phase through walls (who needs to actually think about combat positioning??)

>>716186592
>even the blur from the Gamecube version adds more to the dreamlike look of the game.
there it is. nostalgia goggles and blaming zoomers for fixing hardware limitations. you're fucking 40 years old, get a fucking life.

>>716186592
Wii U version is also way more laggy and they somehow fucked up camera movement. It's no wonder people shit on TP nowadays, they played the demake.

>>716181773 (OP)
That's how I enjoy all my favorite gc games, and look forward to trying the ones I never played first time through

>>716183298
chop til you drop was probably the weirdest port\demake I have ever seen in my life. They ported Dead Rising(an xbox 360 game) to the Wii but remade it on the RE4 wii engine but it was uglier than both those games and with more fog. And then put RE4 guns in it(wtf) and let you shoot zombies.

>>716185926
I saw someone selling the Mario Wiimotes as some kind of holy relic for 200$ a pop.
Not even new

id buy a wii for 50 bucks

>>716185180
Weiner Waker HD looks like an actual cartoon, which the original tried and failed to do.

Also in the new version I greatly enjoyed that stupid online thing where you could put messages in bottles and have other players find them. I used to put quotes from the Black Freighter in them.

What about a Wii U? Not as good for this use case?

>>716181773 (OP)

Gay architecture.

Finally make something cool like the Wii U and it still has a gay name and kapuuts because there are little to few games for it because people don't buy it.

Finally come out with something cool like the Switch and the games for it are gay.

No thanks Nintendo but you died with gay viruses and diseases with the GameCube.

eat shit you nog, i hope you cave to lowballing because no one buys your overpriced stock

My Wii won’t turn on anymore ;_;

>>716187431
more expensive, requires you to jump through more hoops when it comes to installing backups, needs an adapter for gc, said adapter doesn't work when playing wii games (so no pm or mkwii), having a gamepad at all — considering that most people have no interest in the wii u library, a wii is the better option

>>716184704
>spindle on my psone pops out now when I take disc out

>>716187431
The regular Wii has been hacked inside and out. You can do basically whatever you want with it.

The WiiU hack more primitive hacks, it's slower to start up and is chained to the gamepad for certain things.
If you want all of your WiiU, Wii and GC games on one hard drive you need to make Wii VC injects, which is way more work than dragging and dropping iso files.
It doesn't support 240p so it's worse if you're playing on a CRT.
It can technically play more games but the experience is worse when doing things a Wii can do.

>>716181773 (OP)
>Implying I didn't.
I didn't care much about it but I'm a dumb normie who watches those AI president videos so started to get interested in wii sports and the like.
Cant wait to get it hacked and enjoy something I missed.
30$ bucks? I paid like 60$ for it.
