Right?

Like, I get it Nintendo, you want money. That’s understandable.

Then let me buy the damn games. I’d love to be able to buy roms to run in an official emulator, or ideally any emulator.

Honestly at this point why even bother with DRM. The roms for classic systems are absurdly easy to get. Hell even switch roms. But Nintendo insists the only way to play retro games legitimately is to buy either a monthly subscription, or a copy of the rom bundled with the official emulator that can only be run on that specific generation console, or buy dedicated system for it.

And even then its only the games they put out on the system/marketplace/subscription service. A tiny fraction of the library.
