I’ve been incredibly happy lately dumping my GameCube/Wii games (using a softmodded Wii) and running them on PC with Dolphin. Perfectly legit way of playing games I already own, no matter what Nintendo says, and this is also a way to futureproof my GC/Wii collection the way I can actually trust.
I’m sceptical about how close to Dolphin the official emulation experience on Switch will be able to reach. Based on the N64 debacle, I don’t have massively high hopes. Either way, wouldn’t be paying extra.

And they’ll only port like 6 games, ever.

Same as the current Switch online, Microsoft’s game pass, and whatever Sony offers then?

Apologies if I’m coming off too grumpy, I’ve just seen a hundred similar comments over the last 24 hours from people outraged that a company known for unfriendly practices in an industry full of other companies known for unfriendly business practices have continued doing the same unfriendly business practices that are already happening everywhere.

i want a full emulator for the legend of zelda collectors edition that came with the initial gamecube release.
that would be a dream.

It being exclusive to Switch 2 is kind of lame. It’ll be a feature of a subscription you can’t use unless you find and purchase new hardware. And most games probably won’t play well unless you purchase the Switch GameCube controller which will be constantly out of stock like the n64 controller.
