which platform is the best to play retro games: a PC, Wii, or real hardware?
each platform has it’s own cons and pros. PC PROS: emulators on the pc have advanced graphic plug-ins, audio plug-ins, hacks, real time saves, cheats, etc…which make retro games look and sound twice as better than playing them on real hardware. PC CONS: pc emulators don’t have that original charm of playing retro games because of several reasons (playing on a pc monitor instead of a tv, using a keyboard or another pc controller instead of playing with the original controller, etc..). Wii PROS: playing on real hardware (well, not quite. it’s as if we’re using emulators, but on a nintendo system). playing on a tv. classic controller. automatic saving. cheats. Wii CONS: same with the pc: it lacks that special feel of playing on a retro system. same with the pc, again: using a wiimote or a classic controller instead of the real thing. REAL HARDWARE PROS: original game, original system, original controller, you get the picture. has that special feeling and irreplaceable enjoyment of playing retro games. REAL HARDWARE CONS: no saves for most games. the game freezes, you’re gonna have to restart all over again. least graphics quality of the three. cartridges witch take a lot of room and often stop working for casual reasons. cheats can only be accessed using certain accessories( game shark, action replay, etc..). so, that pretty much sums it up. which do you think is the best and least? why?
