​

The past week had a lot of gaming related news to talk about. Nvidia showed off their new lineup, and we share our thoughts about the pricing and performance, and how the Switch 2 might have ray tracing. Speaking of the Switch, a new emulator for Android has popped up, with a caveat - you need to buy a $100 controller, we discuss that as well. And last but not least, we give our reactions on the recent Mario 35th anniversary Direct from Nintendo.

The Tempy electro remix is not bad at all!
I LIKE IT

Mario direct huh? Worst part of it all is how "LIMITED" everything is. Once March is over, It's ALL OVER.

Disappointed that the switch emulator is basically stolen code from Yuzu, only works with a 100 eur controller, closed source and is super shady.

Basically another Damon PS2 situation

Well we're still getting the Mario Kart and 3D World +

Good point. Though I don't think that was planned for celebrating the anniversary of mario. Just was meant to be a common game release. A $100 way to play mario kart... while making a mess of your house, Lol. Another "Saw that coming" wii u game to switch. Didn't seem all that special in my opinion. Not cause it's limited release, but it was kinda expected.

it's pretty different from damon ps2. damonps2 can be used on any phone without additional purchases and the performance and stability is relatively much much worse imo but it is a similar situation.

I meant on a developer standpoint, damonPS2 is free code being sold by someone that's not the original dev and keeps the project closed-source

That's why people that make emulator videos say that they don't recommend buying DamonPS2, supporting this kind of dev (those who steal code without acknowledging and optionally sell it, tl;dr license violations) is immoral but it's also better in performance than all other ps2 android emulators. PS2 on Android is just not ready yet.

The same applies for EggNS, high end PCs struggle to run switch games sometimes, how is your phone that's about 10% of that processing power able to run AAA games like Smash (hint: it's not, the games shown are actually the ones that are easier to emulate {indie games such as Hollow Knight often have the "perfect" compatibility}, LGPE is also easy to get full speed in, only problem is maintaining that framerate, and SMO just needs good optimizations and good settings on the hardware itself)
