How come that Sega is better than Nintendo at offering 16Bit games on the 3DS?
Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis 3D classics:
>run on all 3DS models
>allow button configuration
>can be played in 3D (remember, Nintendo, that nice little gimmick your system revolves around?)
>add new features
>support save states
>are priced at €4.50 - 5.00
Nintendo's SNES games:
>only run on *New* hardware
>support save states
>are priced at reasonable €8.00 - 10.00
Why is this allowed?

Snes was a more powerful system that required more work to make shit work on a handheld
>>329660748
That's why Sega actually put real work in for the ports and Nintendo simply uploaded roms to the eshop. Gotcha, friendo ;D
>>329660425
The SNES games are emulated on the virtual console, 3D classics are rewritten to run on the 3DS.
I agree the pricing is moronic, but Nintendo can charge what people are willing to pay.
>>329660871
Sega didn't do the porting, M2 did. And so what if they put more work into it? It's easier to get the games to work and add fluff because the games take less power.
Have you seen SNES emulators work perfectly on any handheld? No? That's right. How about Sega Genesis? Yes? Because it's easier.
You really have no argument.

>SEGA doing anything other than shitting out low grade Sonic shovelware in the west
Good joke OP

>You really have no argument.
It is you who has no argument here. The reason why people are having a hard time with SNES emulation are all of the extra chips used in SNES cartridges.
>>329661370
Way to miss the point, faglord.
>>329661448
So what about the games lacking the chips? Why aren't those perfected in portable emulators?
>>329661641
Because it requires a lot of extra work if you want to add certain games.
>>329661268
You know Sega 3D classics are not only based on mega drive games but also coin op which were powerful at least 3 times than MD and SNES combined, right?
>>329661695
Then there's the answer for OP's question! The emulator M2 constructed for the genesis games was clearly easier to make than the SNES Virtual Console emulator.
Thus justifying the lower price.
I'd give you Button Configuration, but the 3DS has the same layout as a SNES pad (sans start/select), so it's a moot point.
>>329661763
Good point. It's still astounding how people on this site will go to great lengths just to defend Nintendo. Nintendo could easily get a couple of Super Nintendo 3D classics running on all 3DS models but they don't have to because people will eat it up either way.
I thought you could already play sens games with homebrew on any 3ds???
>>329662334
This thread isn't about homebrew. It is about Nintendo being greedy and incompetent. Sega of all companies have to show them how things should be done correctly.
>>329662434
Being THIS BUTTHURT over like two bucks
Well, back to my snes games that work on a n3ds.
>>329662489
>two bucks
Plus the 150 or so for a New 3DS.
>>329660748
Nigga shut yo goddamn mouth.
If they could do straight ports of SNES and N64 games on the DS, they could emulate SNES games on a fucking 3DS.
Nintendo is gouging their customers and pretending they have no choice.
>>329662604
>ports
remakes wow
>>329662604
What straight ports are you talking about?
Also, emulation isn't just a matter of power, genius. Rebuilding the engine for a new system is something else.
>>329661268
>>329660748
So then how does one explain Galaxy Force II on the O3DS? That shit ran on more powerful hardware than the Sega freaking Saturn.
>>329660425
>Sega still doing what Nintendont
Yes, but on Nintendo consoles.
Sega more like Secuck
>>329662885
Fanboys will be fanboys. 8 bucks for simple roms that don't even come in 3D or anything is completely unacceptable. You can't even change the fucking controls. I guess it is okay when Nintendo does it.
Oh shit, we /vr/ console wars now

Except having their own systems. :^)
>>329663646
>>329663646
Sega still sells the master system and mega drivein hueland
Because M2
M2 is fucking amazing, I don't know how SEGA found them, but they hit the fucking jackpot.
Just look up the initial SEGA AGES from the PS2 that weren't made by M2, they were such a piece of chinese shit. Then they got M2 to work on those ports and they were fucking godlike.
M2 really is the gold standard of porting retro games to new systems, to the point where they're actually better than the originals. Fucking amazing those guys.
>dat fucking outrun 3ds port
>turn on 3D
>that fucking feeling of depth inside a 2d game
MUH
DICK
>>329662604
you don't know how emulation works, obviously
>>329664974
I agree, M2 are great. But Nintendo should be capable to build a team like that too. They are just cheapskates.
>>329665158
They should but they won't. It's glaringly obvious they don't give two shits about their old crowd, but they will provide lip service and throw them a bone just to keep them in check. The virtual console is a fucking joke, alters the colors and adds that fucking horrid smoothing filter, same thing happened with the gamecube gameboy player, what a fucking joke. They treat their old games like fucking shit. I wouldn't mind the emulation if they just put up for sale a shitton of games, but they ration out roms as if they were new releases, fuck that junk.
