Switch 2 emulator Eden-NX2 went public on October 29, booting Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza on Windows PCs, though performance is still rough.

    I’m excited for a game preservation perspective. Another generation of games can be preserved? Hell yeah, that’s what I want.

      To be preseved, games need to be made first… Will you still be excited when good games are no longer made because it’s no longer profitable ?

      I’m good with this when it comes to old, no longer sold stuff, but that’s way to soon.

        Good games will be profitable when they are readily available for purchase and not locked behind an overpriced console that becomes obsolete every 6-8 years. I love the games that Nintendo puts out. But I’m not going to purchase a switch 2 just for a handful of games. No matter how good those games may be. If somehow Nintendo did a complete 180, and started porting their games to PC, I would absolutely be opening my wallet for those games.

        But I think that scenario would be highly unlikely. So if Nintendo doesn’t change, and people start to use emulators, and making games becomes no longer profitable, then those developers would probably move on to continue developing games for another platform or studio. There would still be good games being made.
