Since a collection of N64 games is being added to the Switch Online catalogue, what will the Mario 64 on Switch go as? Virtual Console?

Probably, from the looks of it it will be similar to Wii VC rather than 3DAS but we'll have to wait and see.

Wouldnt it make sense to be a sub category by emu. Vc and console

Any update on this issue? I see no reason why it shouldn't be allowed in the regular VC or at least the EMU category

the wii and switch are so different they should be seperate categories

I doubt that Switch VC would be on the leaderboards tbh. It has the same problems as Wii U VC in terms of input delay. In fact, I heard the NSO`s input delay is even worse than the Wii U VC.

I agree with Kulty. it just has so many issues, even more than the wii u vc, it'll probably be in the same boat as the ports. seperate games on speedrun.com, or maybe it won't even be a speedrun game.

the video glitches, while VERY rare, they happen. the input delay makes it almost impossible to speedrun properly, and it's just not a very good version of the game.

so in all, no. it is 99% likely that it will not be a platform.

is seriously so sad the fact that the oficial emulator game by the same Nintendo is not going to be allowed in the leaderboard because of being so bad lmao

Apparently the Switch VC version of this game barely has any more input lag than the 3DAS version does

I can understand the game is bad to play on switch, but I think it would be cool to have a possibility to submit a time because it's an "official" version of the game and personnally I want to start speedrunning Mario 64 for fun and Mario 64 on Switch bring a good opportunity even if it's not for top speedrunner, and maybe some people will get into the speedrun with this version

no i should not the switch online runs like vc but it might confuce people so just but switch online as a category

well it’s on the boards now as vc

ok
