I wonder why the focus is always on Nintendo when console bricking has happened with Microsoft and Sony as well. A lawyer named Moon (not the one known for allegedly plagiarizing YouTube video ideas) made a video questioning why gaming channels don't investigate similar issues with Microsoft and Sony.

I think it's because Nintendo has people that are absolutely fanatically devoted to it, whereas people generally feel less strong about Sony or Microsoft. Because many want to put Nintendo up on a pedestal, it rubs people who are not super into Nintendo the wrong way, and they want to say, "If Nintendo is so great, why are they bricking consoles?"

That likely explains the Steam Deck's popularity for modding old Nintendo games over Xbox and PlayStation titles. Such a shame ex-Nintendo fans are modding other systems to play Nintendo to somehow destroy and boycott Nintendo. Meh.

Well, no. Not, really. It's a combination of ease of use, availability and the age of the games.

Xbox/Xbox 360 emulation is still in its infancy. Plus, most of the best games Microsoft put out for Xbox & Xbox 360 have been available on their digital storefront for nearly 20 years at this point, plus in some cases you can take a 23 or 24 year old original Xbox disc, put it in your Series X and just play the game. So the availability of the old titles combined with the difficulty of emulation makes the Xbox & 360 less desirable to emulate.

On the other hand, Nintendo is just now making Gamecube titles available again after 20 years. Plus, or maybe because of that, Gamecube emulation just works much better than Xbox emulation. So the ease of use combined with the unavailability of titles for nearly two decades has made Gamecube emulation more popular than Xbox emulation.

When it comes to older generations, a lot of the popular Nintendo games are older than the popular Xbox/PS games. I think it's harder to sell people on paying for an NES game that's 40 years old, than it is to sell them on paying for a 15-year-old game. Like, if you want to sell me Skyrim, OK, sure, that's a 13-year-old game, but it's pretty robust and I can sink a lot of hours into it. Super Mario Bros 1? Not so much.

And to be frank here if you think someone who wants to play Super Mario Bros on their Steamdeck is doing some kind of significant financial harm to Nintendo and is making some sort of conscious boycott of Nintendo, I think you are 100% incorrect. They just don't feel bad about pirating a 40-year-old game that they've probably already paid Nintendo for multiple times between all the times its been released over the years and would rather download it for something they already have as opposed to shelling out the money for Switch online and a Switch to play 7-8 30-40 year old NES & SNES games. That guy was never going to buy a Switch to play these games.

I mean, honestly, between my original copy, an import copy I got for $5, the version I bought for Wii VC, and the version on my SNES classic, I already have four 100% legal copies of Super Mario World, maybe more that I'm forgetting to be frank. The market is so saturated with these old Nintendo games between the originals and rereleases, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to think anyone over the age of 30 who is a Nintendo fan already has a legal copy of a few old Nintendo games between VC for Wii, WiiU & 3DS, the classic systems, and old copies of games sitting in people's closets. Do you really expect them to pay for Switch online for the right to play these games at this point?

Finally, emulation for PS1, PSP and Sega's consoles is absolutely just as rampant as it is for Nintendo, but their back catalogue is not as popular. Trying to portray emulation as a Nintendo problem is extremely misleading. The reviews for the emulation devices have Genesis/PS1/PSP/Dreamcast games front and centre next to the Nintendo titles.

Honestly the only reason Nintendo emulators are so much more developed than other console emulators is because of their devoted fanbase. Nobody really gives a shit about the ps3, hence rpcs3 being in the state that it's in, but the Wii U, despite most of its library being on the switch, has an excellent emulator with high compatibility

Close.

Nintendo is most-emulated with the best tech because Nintendo's games are the best or most iconic or most played or most whatever makes faggots cry.

It is just that simple. Some of Nintendo's most popular games were world-class-popular before some of Nintendo's biggest detractors were even born.

Imagine being so cucked.

WAUW
