For those on mobile phones and tablets, Adreno powered devices provide decent enough graphics drivers to get a reasonable experience at this point.

This means that every PowerPC instruction that the x86-64 JIT supports along with every major JIT feature are now supported in the AArch64 JIT! And this is a great time for ARM in general, with each generation of processor pushing the boundaries and companies like Apple adopting the architecture for larger and higher power devices like their M1 Mac line.

Until Nintendo shows us otherwise, the Expansion Pack is an upgrade that should be skipped.On that note, we're happy to announce that Dolphin's AArch64 JIT has finally reached feature parity with Dolphin's x86-64 JIT. With no roadmap, no details about when to expect new games, and no information on features that could come to the service in the future, we can only hope that this will change. And that’s ultimately what makes the Expansion Pack such an ask if Nintendo could clearly communicate what its plans for the service are, it would make the prospect of subscribing to it now much more attractive. Were Nintendo to announce that future DLC for its first party games, or even past DLC for games like Fire Emblem: Three Houses or Splatoon 2, would come to the service, the Expansion Pack would be an interesting subscription.īut Nintendo will not announce such details in advance. Yet an interesting option that could make it more appealing is if Nintendo doesn’t treat the Animal Crossing DLC as a one-off. Instead, Nintendo will probably rely on adding more games to the Expansion Pack to increase its value with the quantity of titles. Remappable controls would be my biggest wish, but I’m not holding my breath.

That’s no longer an option, and I’m not confident anything will change in the medium term. Nintendo Switch Online has been able to stay the way it has because, at least in part, the service is cheap compared to other major offerings. Yet this is Nintendo we’re talking about, a company that has shown little evidence that it is aiming to create a good online service. The issues I discussed above need to be improved, even if only some of them are fixed. But adding more games does not solve the problem of the Expansion Pack if those games aren’t being emulated well. We already know that Nintendo plans to add additional games to both the N64 and Genesis collections in the future. Even then, just for the fact that you will lose access to the DLC if you ever unsubscribe from NSO, buying it separately is the safest and cheapest long-term option. In households that pay for the NSO family membership and have multiple copies of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, paying for an annual Expansion Pack subscription may well be worth it to give everyone access to the DLC instead of buying it separately for each individual Switch. Cancel your subscription or move to the lower tier and-poof-it’s gone. You must resubscribe to the service every year in order to retain access to Happy Home Paradise. This is because of one very simple reason: by acquiring the DLC via the Expansion Pack, you do not actually own it.

Regardless of its quality, it’s much better value wise to purchase it rather than rely on the Expansion Pack upgrade. The Happy Home Paradise DLC for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has now launched. Perhaps the biggest issue is input lag, aptly demonstrated by the following tweet:īetter To Purchase Happy Home Paradise Than Subscribe for It But as the only visual option, it’s disappointing. If there were multiple options for the visuals, such as a CRT filter, this would be fine.

In addition, polygons have been up-rezzed while sprites remain at their original resolution, making the sprites look noticeably awful in contrast. This means empty space on the screen much of the time. There is only one visual option for N64 games-720p across both handheld and docked mode. The ideal way to play N64 games on the Switch requires purchasing the official N64 controller for the Switch-and good luck finding it in stock. This issue could be solved if controls could be remapped, but that’s not an option. But for a game like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, it’s awkward to handle.Įven worse, the A and B buttons for the N64 are assigned to the A and B buttons on the Switch - which are not arranged in the same way. The control scheme is fine for games like Super Mario 64and Mario Kart 64, which barely use C inputs. If you want to use the face buttons for C inputs, you must press ZR in order to access them. The N64 controller’s C buttons are relegated to the right stick for most games, along with two inputs that rest on the Switch’s X and Y buttons. What’s most noticeable at first is the control scheme.
