the left image is of a native port recompiled for PC, and the right one is an emulator being developed to run Switch 2 games
I don’t know if it’s allowed in here, but I’d love to know what the site on the left is
It’s a shame the company that isn’t peddling AI is the target of this, but also fuck Nintendo and their $10 upgrades for Switch 1 games which is the sole reason I didn’t buy a Switch 2.
I am backing up emulators, roms and recomp tools as long as they are available to the public.
I for one am very happy about this because OOT is one of my favorite games of all time and I really want to play the remake but I don’t have a Switch 2, and I really don’t want to fork over another $500+ on top of the thousands I’ve spent on the gaming hardware I already have just to play this, and maybe a handful of other Nintendo titles.
I just want to play it with mods so I can fix those faces
This for me, but with the new Fire Emblem. I’ve played almost every game in the series. But I can’t justify $500 for a console for a single game, then pay whatever the going cost is now for the game ($60-80?), and then have all the inevitable DLC that actually raises the cost of the game to somewhere between $140-160 (most FE games since 3DS have DLC that nearly double the price of the game).
Oh, and if I pay $500 for that console, I have to pay a subscription fee if I do want to use internet features.
I hate Nintendo for their corporate practices, but at least up through the Switch, they actually make good games. And when people complain about their high price games, when you buy physical, that also means you can sell your games and get most of your money back from them. It’s the attacks on fan projects, the DMCAs, the DLC, and paid internet subscription that made me lose any love for them. Almost every older Nintendo console was worth it, but not now (I had a Wii U, lmao). It’s also incredibly frustrating in this day and age to be locked to a console when I might want to play things elsewhere.
Same for me, and I’ve owned every Nintendo home console since the NES. No longer worth it. My gaming dollars can go significantly farther on GoG.
Just admit you wanted to pirate it.
I thought they just did.
If Nintendo ported the game to PC I would gladly pay for it.

Me too. As Gaben said, piracy is mostly a service problem.
I don’t know how much money they make selling hardware but they could just sell games overpriced for PC (to compensate for what they didn’t earn selling hardware and store fees) and people will just buy.
The problem with that in Nintendo’s mind is, its not worth it. They would sell more games for sure, but in Nintendo’s mind the console becomes obsolete. But their entire business is around consoles and all the third party games they get the money from too. In order to sell their console to as many as possible, they need to have these blockbuster exclusives. In example this is why Microsoft is also going back to exclusives too, and Sony does less again.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of this. I only play on PC and doing piracy since decades. But from the business standpoint, I understand where they are coming from. Platform holders operate differently than third party devs / publishers.
There was literally no ambiguity
Miyamoto-san is gonna be so pissed.
So does the decompiled one work yet? I feel like i woildve seen more on this if it did. I will absolutely play it this way once it happens.
It works great but you need a very powerful computer. Was playing lots yesterday.
I’ve heard several reports that it does! I’m leaving the afternoon free today so I can try to set it up myself.
Reminds me of Napster in a way.
