- [09:19:41] <@DiGiTaL> Nintendo is still doing classic games on Switch just in a different form is what that press release hinted too.
- [09:19:49] <@DiGiTaL> Basically dropping that VC branding.
- [09:21:22] <@olus> so it works the same as VC just called something different?
- [09:21:38] <@olus> I know classic games are coming with the online subscription
- [09:21:57] <@olus> I assumed the mention of no VC meant it was more of a streaming thing and less of a virtual console thing
- [09:22:09] <@olus> kind of like how sony does ps now
- [09:23:10] <@DiGiTaL> They didnt say it would work the same they just said not bringing the classics under the virtual console banner.
- [09:23:27] <@olus> well if it's not working the same then it's not just a rebranding 😉
- [09:23:31] <@DiGiTaL> So they will either do a streaming service for them or pop them into the paid online plan.

- [09:39:41] Mode is +lnt 130
- [09:44:42] <JOD> yeah, it doesn't make sense that they'd say "nintendo has no virtual console switch plans" when they just got done revealing NES games with online play added for switch
- [09:45:27] <JOD> that article makes it sound like they're not releasing classic games anymore
- [09:46:41] <@olus> made it sound to me that it's just not a "virtual console"
- [09:46:51] <@olus> so sounds like game streaming
- [09:46:53] <@MBezzle> because the gaming media originated the fake news phenomenom
- [09:47:33] link0 is now known as Link0
- [09:47:37] <@olus> it doesn't say "no classic games on switch"
- [09:49:03] <@olus> in fact, it even links to the announcement about the classic games that will be available via the online subscription
- [09:50:08] <@MBezzle> at least most of their vc lineup is tiny enough to stream properly 😝
- [09:50:23] <@MBezzle> up to n64 can basically be instant, even if u stream it
- [09:50:29] <@olus> true
- [09:50:44] <@MBezzle> ppl d/l faster per second than the biggest carts on n64
- [09:54:29] <@olus> less fake news and more just fake reading of the news

- [09:58:57] <JOD> well the headline is garbage
- [09:59:17] <JOD> you can't dispute that
- [10:04:58] <@olus> well you can just read the headlines
- [10:05:00] <@olus> can't*
- [10:05:11] <@olus> but also, it's true. virtual console isn't coming
- [10:05:17] <@olus> classic games through online subs are
- [10:06:40] <@olus> if it's not emulating on the switch and streaming the game instead, it's absolutely true
- [10:07:05] poxifone (kamek@magikoopa.deathspawn.net) left IRC (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
- [10:08:12] <JOD> anyone who reads that headline is going to think nintendo isn't bringing classic games over. what the headline should be about is how it's going to be a different model
- [10:09:14] <@olus> the problem is that you're trying to make excuses for people who only read headlines, which is a deplorable practice
- [10:10:16] poxifone (kamek@magikoopa.deathspawn.net) joined the channel
- [10:13:12] <JOD> well you shouldn't only read the headline but fact is most people are going to notice that over the rest of the article. so it should actually at least be sensible and accurately convey the information in said article
- [10:13:43] <JOD> that and when people see 'virtual console' they generally think 'classic games'
