Quoting: Talon1024And this is what it looks like.

Yep! I bloody love it. I've got Mupen64Plus-Next set up on my Steam Deck with correct filtering and anti-aliasing, but upscaled, and it looks wonderful - authentic, but freshened up a little for the higher-resolution display.

Quoting: WorMzyHah, awesome.

It looks it, and I'm really glad that they put some official photographs online!

I really wanted to do my own photos for this piece, but Amazon UK didn't have enough copies to cover their pre-orders, so I won't get mine for at least a few weeks.

Quoting: ToddLThey would rather lazily put out N64 games as is and continue to rake in the money from those poor souls that pay to play these games with their crappy subscriptions.

They don't even emulate those correctly! The N64 has a pretty distinct look*, and they do it a disservice on that subscription library of theirs. You can upscale these games and retain hardware-accurate filtering - it's just that Nintendo themselves, who are often all about leaning on nostalgia, don't seem to be bothered about getting it right on this occasion.

*I'm quite fond of that look in spite of it not being one of my favourite consoles by a long shot, and seeing N64 games rendered by the company who released the hardware looking all jagged and with incorrect colours (presumably they used 4-point bilinear filtering, instead of 3-point as the original hardware did, which typically makes these games look "off"), really bugs me.

Oh this is super-cool. Shame they had to go with Majora's Mask as an example, though (excellent game though it is!) - that's going to be like a red rag to a bull, as far as Nintendo is concerned!

... Now I'm wondering how well the excellent and criminally-overlooked Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! (whose story-director was Naoki Yoshida/"Yoshi-P", who's at Square-Enix these days) would fare...

Quoting: mallogFor a Linux site, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this. The adverts will probably be delivered through a specific domain, which can be blocked in your firewall.

Knowing EA, they'll probably have locally-stored ads ready to go for offline use, too, hahaha!

Even though RPGs simply aren't my thing, and my favourite RPG Maker game (2004's Yume Nikki ) is both not an RPG at all and is way too old for this project, this is really cool to see - it's always good to see a broadening of the Linux-gaming landscape.
