Dophin is by far the ultimate way to play Xenoblade Chronicles. Emulators are great - when done right, they give extra value even if you own the console. I own the Wii, but decided to play XC on PC due to all the enhancements More options is always better!

No thank you! not only is the dolphin an inferior vercion (except only  having slightly noticable changes like textures, wich are actually not that impressive), but i bought xenoblade chronicles on the Wii U eshop so im atleast supporting the devs/monolith soft who made this masterpiece. I want more of this, further experience their games, and if everyone would just be emulating these games then no one would make them. Thank all the people who bought the first one that we are now getting an awsome second one. I wont be emulating Nintendo games as long as i live, i always bought most of their games, and it comes down to prioritising, if its a really bad game, or cheap game i guess its more understandable, but a game this size and so much effort put into it. I couldnt just emulate it and experience this awsome game but not give these guys credit. Things need to be fair

Inferior in what way? I get a stable 30fps while on my Wii XBC would drop to what I imagine is 23-25 fps, I play at 1080p with SSAA (no jaggies) with texture mods. I can play with whatever controller I wish to. By the way I pre-ordered the game, the iso I play with was ripped through my Wii, and I still have my copy in my collection, safe and sound from damage. So...


Basically the differnce is Night & day.

 

 

Wii:

Emu:

 

You ll have to open them up full size to really notice the differnces lol.

Wasnt nearly as drastic as I thought itd look after posting them.

 

the game does look better on emu though:

Wii U eshop does almost have no framefrate drops, and thats not the point i tried to make, I was trying to make a point of how supporting it is much better than cheaply emulating it.

Your still stuck with a sub-HD resolution so it's still inferior ...

If you want to talk about piracy go do it elsewhere ...



This wont be complete for like 6 years.

Running Nes Remix at 1 FPS

LOL


1 fps for NES Remix?  Good luck with anything demanding.  You'd have to calculate in frames per minute.

Trying to run something like Wonder 101 will probably cause your computer to blow up.

Anyone noticed how fast the loading times are compared to the wii u? Just kidding.
I
don't know how I feel about it. It'll be better one day and it will be possible to play almost any wii u game for free. Shouldn't Nintendo do something about it?

emulators have always been for cheap people. pfft buy a real console.

The Wii/WiiU/3DS Virtual Console is emulation, and PS1/PS2 games on PS3 (hopefully PS4 too soon enough). I have no problem with that. :p



Hmm... People say you need a NASA computer to run this. NASA uses PS3's. WiiU emulator for PS3 confirmed!

I mean thats fine, because you support the people who made it, if its a game packed with DLC and microtransactions its a different story.



Emulation sucks man, it always feels crap and less fun
