Such surprise that Nintendo would be ok with emulating the games they actually own, and not the pirated copies that 95% of people run emulators with.

if they want us not to pirate their shit they have to make it accessible. it costs at minimum 450 + 50/yearly to play wind waker, a game from 2003. there is 0 chance thats a reasonable price

I mean, you could buy a gamecube and an original copy on Ebay for like half that much and play it forever for no additional cost

But Nintendo wouldn’t get the money anyways. So might as well emulate unless you really need to give money to a collector first to clear your conscience before playing a video game.
