Yes, and it runs really well and is very easy to launch and play.

Of course not as easy as just buying the game outright and putting in the cartridge.

Downloading a file and putting in on a Steam Deck seems easier than working for ~3 hours then purchasing a Nintendo game.

Yeah, why pay for something, if you can also simply download/steal it? Something which took a lot of work to make?

Reading comments like this I can almost understand Nintendos stance on emulation. Suing the emulator team is certainly not the right thing to do, but come on.

At least pay for the game if you are not paying for the console.

The people who steal it were probably not going to buy it anyway. And it’s not like they are downloading a car.
