Nintendo 64 Emulation Isn't Perfect (Nintendo Switch Online)

It baffles me how the company who made the console that is being emulated, and has full access to its source code, could end up with emulation problems like this that you would expect to see from an unauthorized 3rd party emulator made by hobbyists who reverse engineered it.

As much as I love Nintendo’s games, I think it’s SUPER important that we call them out on their bs. It’s only fair that we get the product we were advertised at a fair price. I don’t know why, but as soon as Nintendo rakes in the big bucks, it always seems to get to their head. Is that just me? I miss Iwata....

Happy to see a comparison between NSO and 3D All-Stars input lag, would love to see further comparison with Wii U virtual console input lag as well. Comparing the same game(s) in NSO vs Wii U would be great, since the input lag seems to potentially vary from game to game.

You didn’t touch on my biggest gripe which is controller mapping. Some of the game have horrible mapping to the joycons, and it’s super hard to get used to some of the games. If nintendo would allow us to map controls within the app, that would be amazing. Each game seems to have their own controller mapping.

The input lag isnt ideal for N64, but they really improved the input lag from the Genesis Collection to the NSO Genesis collection. The Original Eshop Genesis collection was horrendous.

You should be able to toggle things like like fog. The atmosphere in games like OoT has been greatly diminished.
