> It really makes me think Nintendo has an untapped market here to sell a little box you plug into your PC that plays switch games

Games that are more locked down and walled than Apple products, that run 30fps on the oldest hardware possible in 2023, made by a company that actively alienates its own fanbase with aggressive copyright claims over the silliest things?

No thanks. Really, you can keep them out of the PC market.

It seems the fault is less with Nintendo than with parts of the "fan base" which defend piracy. I bet much, much fewer people would play Zelda on an emulator if they a) had to pay for it and b) had to wait until it comes out.

It’s Nintendo. Plenty of people have a hard time doing reviews on YouTube
