Nintendo answers gamers’ questions about VC
The readers over at computer and videogames were recently given the opportunity to fire questions at the big N regarding the VC and the responses are in. For better or worse, there are no big surprises in the Q&A, except perhaps the fact that N64 games will not feature rumble.
Another interesting note is that the question of frame rate issues was avoided. As the question asserts, some people actually want the original problems preserved while others would prefer they were fixed. The response seems to indicate that they’re just going to preserve the original code and the games will run however well they will run. Is this in response to those who want the original experience or just lazy?
On a final note, I’m mildy surprised that they responded to the question regarding the features of computer emulation with something other than, “We do not support such practices;” however, it was to be expected that no new multiplayer features would be added at launch.
