Nintendo has been actively taking down YouTube videos that feature its games being emulated or modded, which has sparked significant discussion and concern within the gaming community.
Honestly. Fine. I’m this close to going purely PC anyway. I’ve purchased dozens of physical Switch titles because the Switch represented Nintendo returning to its heyday of the SNES->Gamecube goodness. I’ve given Nintendo thousands and thousands of dollars over the last 3 and a half decades, and I’m thinking maybe they don’t need any more of my money. Sure, I emulate, but never the most recent system. People got way too greedy with Switch emulation and now Nintendo is putting the kibosh on all of it. At this point though, GOG gets my money.
Emulation does not equal piracy though.
Why are we not allowed to do what we want with our own stuff?
Yeah I’m now emulating games I own on switch on deck because my switch hardware is so wonky with controllers randomly disconnecting
steam deck is the best switch online device i’ve ever used ;)
Which switch emulator do you use? I’m pretty savy with Linux and run it on my desktop but haven’t really taken the dive to set any of them up. Metroid has been calling my name lately and I’m thinking it’s now or never. Got any suggestions?
