Surely not!Well, few things are worse than that conference. Sony's 2006 one is. Microsoft's done a good job of improving things since then.

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Does anyone here use an RCA switchbox to connect various gaming systems to the TV, that they could recommend a good solution?

DreamTheater 131 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I still have my gamecube hooked up to my TV using good old SCART, which also has connectors for the PS2 and Xbox, but I can only connect one at a time. All my newer consoles (from X360 on) pass through the receiver using HDMI. I don't own a Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon has cheap options with a few one star you get what you pay for warnings. A Game Boy adapter sounds cool. The battery in my Donkey Kong cart is long dead, so it doesn't save game progress.

Jay 37,369 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 So, if your TV DOES have more than one RCA input....... and you can plug the Wii into one and the N64 into the other........ then you don't need a switching box......... correct?

Wojo 2,453 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 It doesn't matter. Last time I looked behind my TV, I recognized a problem and a switchbox is the solution I rationalized. I ask for help, only to be told I don't have a problem, it's all in my mind. And that's OK. I'm just glad you don't answer phones for a hospital. Lol.

Jay 37,369 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I never said it was all in your mind. I'm saying that if your TV has 2 sets of RCA inputs, and since you now know you don't need to use the GameCube, you can use the two RCA inputs of your TV, one for each system. This is a better solution than purchasing a new box to accomplish the exact same thing (its actually one less step, and one less thing to potentially break).I am trying to help!

Jay 37,369 Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yes I too enjoyed Mario Sunshine, but I remember it being not super well received, which kind of went along in general with all of the GameCube not being a huge hit. That's really the era where Sony and Microsoft cemented themselves, and the types of games their systems got that Nintendo didn't, as #1 and #2 and Nintendo's been #3 since.And yes I've been watching other videos with Miyamoto (there's one of him and the same other guy previewing Zelda 19 that's interesting) and he seems like a really smart dude. He directed like all the absolute best Nintendo games and started like all their big franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,200 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Funny to see that the 1983 version of Mario had the color of his overalls and shirt switched for some reason (blue shirt and red overalls).Or that he briefly reverted back to his original colours in 1985 and now looks like his 1983 version again, except that he was allowed to keep his red cap.By the way, I think the 1985-1990 illustration version is by far the best of all.Yes I too enjoyed Mario Sunshine, but I remember it being not super well received, which kind of went along in general with all of the GameCube not being a huge hit.I still believe it's wrong to turn the Mario platforms into a 3D game. Granted, I've only played one version of those (and that was Sunshine), but it's essentially a different game, and everything that made SMB what it was is either gone or doesn't work.
