The N64 had blazing-fast silicon cartridge game paks, it wasn't S-L-O-W like those awful CDs...

some games still had to load like quake 64, quake 2, tom clancy's rainbow six, revolt and others im probably forgetting.

Why the fuck do Switch cartridges have loading times now? I thought the whole point of not using discs was no loading time.

>>716327876 (OP)
Yet it still had longer load times than CD lmao.

>>716327876 (OP)
>you can't buy this
So every Ebay listing for it is a scam? Damn, can't trust anyone these days.

>>716328212
>posted the exception again
Least dishonest snoy.

I can't even name a PS1 game that has long load times. The first game I remember that took forever to load was that Crash game on PS2.

>>716328423
If you see an "Ultra 64" on ebay, I would be very cautious...

>>716328602
There were some notable examples.

>>716328602
>that Crash game on PS2.
This was due to a programming error, it's completely gone in the greatest hits release. PS1 games couldn't load for very long because it only has 3MB of RAM. How long do you think it would take to fill that at 300kb/s? It's a fantasy that PS1 games have exorbitant load times. Just pure console warrior cope over the 64 failing and shitting the bed.

>>716328873
Sony fanboys will lie and make excuses for the most obvious shortcomings. Easily the most dishonest fanboys around.

This is true. I got an N64 again recently it as soon as you flip that power switch you are immieditely into the game. There's nothing else like it today

>>716328602
Crash Bash tended to give me longer loading times back in the day

speaking of Crash, CTR has annoying loading times where the game suddenly goes silent as you watch a checkered flag waving in the breeze.

>>716329567
>11 seconds is supposed to be an exorbitant load time
hah
There was a game called Untold Legends on PSP that literally had like 30-40 second load screens every single time you changed areas.
....I put up with it because the game was a pretty fun diablo clone

>>716327876 (OP)
Nintendo had a point, can you imagine playing OoT on PS1, with loading screens lasting several minutes every time you leave or enter an area? Jesus Christ.

>>716328602
Blood Omen had a fuck ton of loading screens

>>716330220
OoT couldn't even be done on PS1 due to places like Hyrule Field being far too open and large.

>>716328104
Their read speed is only like 100-400 mb/s, blows discs out of the water but not ssds

>>716328104
Switch 2 use SD express by default, it should be fast enough to load times being non issue in most games.

Anything that takes too much time is pure dev fault.

>>716329567
Still a shorter load time than N64's "blazing ass" cartridges: >>716328212

>>716330815
That's an obvious exception to the rule, as evidenced by you posting it 1 billion times.

>>716328602
The Square SNES Final Fantasy ports had some fucking awful load times in the basic character menus.

>>716328602
Chrono Trigger nigga

>>716328212
was developed before the expansion pack is a thing

>>716333895
I thought I got a fucked disc for the longest time, turns out all Final fantasy Anthology copies had that 30 second load time every single time you go to the menu.

>>716328104
sd card transfer speed isnt very fast

>>716328104
>Switch cartridges
they are memory sticks

n64 is garbage

>>716328104
because nobody can fucking optimize for shit anymore

>>716328212
I never noticed back then, I just played it

>>716337798
Just like on PlayStation

I've been charting load times of PS1 games as sort of a hobby, it's generally the frequency & lack of disguising it that becomes an issue rather than the length itself. Usually they are 6-8 seconds on average, some lower-quality games can go up to 12 seconds but even that's rare. 6 seconds isn't bad to load a level but when you're constantly switching menu options that's when it gets annoying.

The only really bad one I've found was in THPS2, which can take upwards of 30 seconds on a static screen to load a custom park & custom skater. Think loading stuff from a Memory card is slower then a disk.

>>716335402
I don't like the N64 either but calling Earthworm Jim 2 a good game is crazy

>>716339201

Significantly.
