Likes it when they do a good job.

Double-edged sword if more people are turning to emulation in response to the rot of the games industry. Barely managing to maintain spaces for it outside of the darkweb at this point.

Working on the Wii Classic Controller, it's evident it was intended for GameCube support, but the software guys dropped the ball there. Had to tack on all the GameCube stuff like a whole separate console within your Wii. Would have been cool if they got it fully integrated.

A thing with Nintendo is that even when they're making a sequel with little immediate market potential, they know that it's going to remain relevant to series fans in decades to come. Folk feel guilt over the Zeldas they haven't played. Wonder how that factors into stuff like new Metroids.

They're doing Switch-compatible Virtual Boy controller PCBs for $100, but you have to gut a vintage controller for it, removing compatibility with the original system. Criminal shit.
