The whole NSO Expansion Pack is a hot mess: scalped controllers, subpar emulation, worse online multiplayer than NES and SNES games, and far more expensive than anyone thought it would be. It amazes me when I STILL see fanboys showing up in droves in comment sections to convince everyone what a wonderful time they're having with it, as though that should cancel out how objectively bad the whole situation is. I hope Nintendo fixes everything, they really blew it this time.

@@repeekyraidcero I guess you missed the button mapping "per game" part. Also upscaling to 1080p and wide screen hacks. If you've never played Mario 64 in widescreen at 1080 you really should. Integrity of the graphics. I mean there is a laundry list of things that can improve the gaming experience using emulators. The freedom to improve things beyond what Nintendo is willing to do for their fans. I am just guessing here but your comment leads me to believe you are a Nintendo fan, so am I. In fact I have a collection of Nintendo games and consoles going back to NES. I choose to emulate for convenience and for performance boosts and quality of life changes that Nintendo just doesn't seem to want to give to their fans. My only "complaint" is that Nintendo of all the deep pocketed game companies releases sub par emulated games. You think I want to be playing Splatoon 2 and then have to use my phone or pc to jump onto some conkers bad fur day?

That being the matter of fact in how there’s permanent purchasing options compared to a $50 dollar annual rental fee, I couldn’t help but ask myself…did…Nintendo’s sales and marketing team really realize what they were going for with the expansion pack?

[@Nathan35077]

It’s only a 30$ “hike”. It’s 30$ more for this than just the NSO. Which is actually reasonable. I mean, once we get the rest of the games it’ll definitely be more worth it. But realistically paying 50$ for NSO, NES, SNES, SEGA and N64 games is a pretty good value.. not to mention if you play animal crossing.

[@Itshomski]

Agreed 50 dollars is not worth it when ps plus is only a bit more and Is way better plus the normal switch online is a much better deal

[@CarlosXPhone]

The problem isn't Genesis games itself. The problem is, Nintendo didn't convey that there are more games coming to Genesis. Because the code behind the Genesis games are readily available to SEGA via aforementioned Genesis Classics Collection, but what people seem to forget is most of the games are available via Genesis Mini, which is what I think the NSO collection of Genesis games are derived from ...since M2 already coded and readily available.

After that you have to switch the controller to All Star mode for the c buttons to work. Load into the N64 online and have at it. The joystick is better built and tuned to mimic the N64 range. It’s not to sensitive that you can’t walk Mario and you can aim in GoldenEye. It’s a hair more sensitive than the actual N64 controller but works pretty well.

Here's the solution: buy a raphnet N64 to GCN adapter and buy 8bitdo's Gbros GCN wireless adapter and an authentic OEM (or Brawler 64) controller. The raphnet adapter has several control mappings you can set that was mainly for N64 VC but work excellently with the N64 games on NSO. For instance, in default mode, I couldn't play Sin & Punishment because Nintendo made both the left and right stick do the same thing and put the C-Left and C-Right buttons on X and Y. If I hold down "R" on my N64 controller as I plug it in to the raphnet adapter, the mapping changes so I can play S&P like I would on a real N64. I don't know what Nintendo was thinking, but that's the solution for your controller woes.

Tutorials tell you to push the left c button and if A/B were configured how it is on the N64 controller, you'd have to press the top most button on the controller. Which is just more difficult to subconsciously adjust to than C down being tied to the top button. None of that is to say there shouldn't be the option to customize the layout for a control set up as convoluted as the N64, just that it's starting to make sense why it's layout the way it is and I am getting used to it

When Bob 2 told Bob 1 that "he's happy for both of them" and asked "but why don't you have honey?" I fell out of my seat laughing! I mean he's not using it because it gets sticky duh!

[@koga_jangles1490]

I use the Rerro-Bit Tribute 64 2.4 GHz Wireless controller and it works great! Just use the macros to set it to All-Star mode, which also sets the C buttons as the right analog. You do have to remap the B button because the B button on the controller by default is mapped to X. So just reverse the mapping of the B and X button and you'll have the buttons laid out perfectly. The downside is.....you have to turn off rumble in the setting of the N64 app. Otherwise when you start a game, it vibrates nonstop.

[@DashVandle]

I don’t understand how they messed up the controller mapping so much

[@maliciousbugman]

to urge people to buy the $50 controllers. Duh.

[@bk6555]

Cuz dollar dollar bills yall. $50 to boot!

[@TheMarionettePlaysGamez]

This sounds like whatever structure they have set up for the teams are all over the place for these weird inconsistencies between games and hardware.

[@retrodoodmanx7161]

so those dongles or converters that work on the previous switches does not work on the OLED Switch?

[@brandonhale7574]

I think Bob experiencing the music cutting out in Mario Kart 64 was someone accidentally pressing the L button. I can't remember which button does it, but one of the buttons actually disables the music in game I'm pretty sure. It may not have been the emulation.

[@HometownUnicorn]

I use my retro-bit tribute 64 wireless just fine with Nintendo switch online expansion pack all you've got to do is turn on USB support and you've also got to swap the X button with B. And make sure you change grip order so that joypad is number 1. Also select the AllStar mode on the pad by holding start+right on dpad.

[@AnimeGameKid-mt4ls]

Some certain USB adapters may help to allow for button remapping, like a Magic NS adapter. It has a female input for any wired controller, or a wireless one with a dongle.

[@Bkuuzin]

Nintendo put the controls into a hat and shook it up! 😆 Jokes aside, I guess it’ll take getting used to. It would be nice if they let you change the controls though.

For MarioKart 64. the L Button toggles the music during a race. So if someone was pressing whatever L is set to be on their controller, that could be why the music was cutting out

[@luthelunatic1364]

I was watching nintendo life play some mario kart, and the music kept cutting out because there's a button that actually turns off music. Im not sure if that was your issue. I haven't tested it myself.

So what about using the 8bitdo pro Controller and using the 8bitdo ultimate software to map the controller before you connect it to the Switch?

[@DeEpSoUtH17]

I remember playing OOT on the GameCube and they mapped the c buttons to the c stick on the GameCube controller. Not sure what was so hard about them doing the same with the Switch pro controller. My thought is to annoy you into buying the N64 wireless controller.

[@kameoosama]

Honestly the controller situation is kinda goofy with emulators too. Like, you have full capability to remap everything (unless you're using an emulator that has weird limitations on how you can map buttons but I don't think that's common anymore) but if the original controller's layout doesn't really conform to modern controller layouts then you either end up wanting different button mappings for certain games (and then promptly forgetting those variant layouts) or you wanna have special controllers for those systems which immediately goes to pot once you start swapping controllers around. But like that's a thing that could be fixed in a retroarch update one day.

[@tlingitsoldier]

I'm annoyed that the official N64 controllers are sold out. But I used the PowerA GameCube style controller, which felt pretty close. The C sick worked pretty well, even for Ocarina of Time.

[@thickglutes4425]

Just letting you know this comment might be a lifesaver. I'm about to grab one of these and see. My friend is playing OoT for the first time and I don't want the shitty joycon plus garbage emulation mapping to hamper the experience.

Tip from a fellow A/V guy, it would be worth it to bring the SM7B closer to your face and turn the gain down for overall improved audio. Dope video!

I grew up with N64 and I love the controller. Especially on the AKI N64 Wrestling games like WCW/nWo Revenge and WWF No Mercy.

[@roelandvanbergehenegouwen9045]

Although Nintendo doesn’t really listen to their fans, I hope they really fix the controller, latency and sound issues. For now I will not change my family membership until all issues are fixed and there are many (many) more great N64 games e.g. Diddy Kong Racing, DK 64, Banjo Tooie. Otherwise I just keep using my N64. Great channel BTW!

[@TheAngryBare]

The latency is an absolute killer. I'd love to play these games on official hardware, but I'm gonna stick to emulation until they fix at least the bare minimum.

[@YaaSalty...0_o]
