(A few interesting reads about emulation: What Does Emulation Mean? / Are Emulators Legal?) We could argue ethics of that all day, and we would contend that emulation is acceptable for any console or game that you cannot go buy in the store.īut if we put moral discussion aside, there’s gonna be people doing it no matter what you believe about it. Whatever the reason, there are gonna be a lot of people out there who just wanna play the games however they can, and emulation is one possibility. So what if you can’t afford a Switch? What if you want to play just one game and can’t justify the investment in the console for it? Or what if you just don’t want to buy one? Nintendo’s first party games are some of the absolute best titles ever created.īetween your Marios and your Zeldas and your Kirbys and your Donkey Kongs… so many amazing franchises that only live on the Nintendo console.
