Even if Nintendo wanted to try to support every game on their service, it would be a very difficult undertaking and they probably wouldn't be able to secure the rights to every N64 game for the platform to release digitally. N64 had nearly 400 games released for the platform across all regions. But more directly to your question, I think Polymega will provide a more authentic experience for players because you simply can't have an authentic experience with just a handful of games on offer. If they wanted to, they could probably even perfect N64 emulation. Nintendo has the tools and resources to improve their emulation significantly over time, so I imagine any issues that are currently present at the launch of their service will improve with future updates. Are you confident your solution can offer a more authentic experience for players? Nintendo has come under fire lately for the standard of N64 emulation on Switch. The specifics will be released a little later on before launch.
So, when this module is released, it will employ the best legal solution we can provide while hitting the same minimum 90% compatibility requirement we have for our CD BIOS solutions and other supported game systems. Part of our licensing and development / co-development process is ensuring that nearly all games can be played without any complicated configuration or set up by the user, and that you can plug a legitimate cartridge and controller in and play it without any hassle, plug-in flipping, configuration, and so on. I think Polymega will provide a more authentic experience for players because you simply can't have an authentic experience with just a handful of games on offer Is the N64 emulator you're using based on a pre-existing one, or is it custom-made? There are virtually no other options out there for playing the N64 library legally, outside of the original hardware - so it's an obvious choice for us. It's been our most requested module since the first four were announced, and Polymega is well suited to support it. Nintendo Life: Why did you pick the N64 as the next Polymega module?īryan Bernal: Because our customers asked for it. We sat down with Playmaji CEO & Co-Founder Bryan Bernal to talk about the new N64 module, and what the future holds for Polymega now it's actually in the hands of customers.
