the appeal of the switch is portability, if you need a powerful gaming laptop to run it it's defeating the purpose, but for posterity it's a good project to keep an eye on.


This is good for some other reasons too:

- There are some good Switch exclusives that are worth playing even non-portably

- Eventually, this will probably let us play Switch games in higher resolutions with better textures, post-processing, etc.

- In the long-term, emulators let gamers get around eternally renewing copyrights, which are basically just rent-seeking.


True. I hope that this doesn't scare game developers away though, the switch is truly one of the best console I've own so far and I'd be sad to see developers running away from it because of emulators and piracy.
