Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 40 Comments
As previously reported, NVIDIA has teamed up with Nintendo to bring Wii and GameCube titles to Switch. Making this even more interesting is that they’ll run at a resolution of 1080p.
There is one important detail to point out, however. Instead of ports, these titles are instead being streamed. Games are accessed through the GeForce Now streaming service.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Punch-Out!!, and Super Mario Galaxy are the initial batch of releases. More will be on the way in the future.

Had history taken a different direction, the first Resident Evil could have ended up as a very different game. Capcom’s Koji Oda told Game Informer that it was originally in development for the SNES.
Some of you may know that Resident Evil was inspired by the horror title Sweet Home, and was a spiritual successor of sorts. It makes sense then that it started off on the SNES. But as Oda mentioned, when the PlayStation came into the picture, Capcom shifted to that platform.
