Nintendo, famed for hating emulation, likely using Windows PCs to emulate SNES games at its museum (www.techspot.com)

The reveal comes from X user @ChrisMack32, who posted a video showing them unplugging a Super Nintendo controller – connected via USB – at one of the Nintendo Museum's booths. Removing the cable from the controller results in what sounds like the familiar noise that plays when a Windows device is disconnected. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the Windows 'device connect' sound when the controller is plugged back in.

If Nintendo was smart, they'd just provide the means to obtain older games somehow, forever, and not the dripfed method of providing games on the Classics Store as part of a subscription where most of the games offered are garbage games most people haven't even heard of before seeing them in there. As well as seriously make an effort to make at least PC ports for their biggest titles. This would be a much more effective method of combating piracy; just provide the service people are actually demanding.

I can understand not providing 3rd party titles that Nintendo themselves don't own the rights to; but they don't even have their own entire catalogue on there.

100%. I literally bought Echoes of Wisdom on Switch day one, dumped it, and played it in Ryujinx, installing mods to increase settings.

I have the money, and am willing to part with it, but prefer a PC Quality experience. Heck, I'd even pay more for a PC version that didn't have shader stutter and had real PC options.

That said.... I don't expect it. Nintendo is very stuck in their ways, which has pros and cons. On the one hand, we're getting good traditional game design, no layoffs, and no micro transactions, which is wonderful. On the other, we're getting outdated hardware that's just powerful enough to support their game design ideas (although we're even seeing the cracks there now), and a diehard dedication to the old console exclusivity model.
