Because Nintendo really really hates people who emulate their games
And? I too really hate people using my toothbrush but have no problem using it myself. Is that embarrassing?
because they're using the work of others for their own profits.
Is the implication that they won't be able to write an in-house emulator? So did they wait for someone to port an SNES emulator to Switch before they can put those old games on their online service?
the "implication?" they've literally already sold consoles that have downloaded roms on them.
Are they? They aren't using Canoe and their own files?
files they've downloaded off the internet. its much easier for them and they only need to do a quick frontend to make it look official.
ezpz.
So you have access to the PC in the museum?
in the past they have. i should have specified. i have no idea what they're doing in their museums. but considering their history, I wouldn't discount it.
You are right. Sorry for being so snarky. The modding community for the SNES Classic mostly preferred Nintendo's own emulator, Canoe. I just assumed Nintendo would continue to use it
All we can do is speculate for now. They will never see another dime from me personally. I just don't see why we are persecuting them for emulation of all things. Be mad they are fucking over other emulator developers, but a company emulating their own games isn't anything new
