What Hacker News says
2 sources> I was listening to a gaming podcast last week and they were talking about how this release was pirated and available for the last week or so on torrents.
https colon slashslash thepiratebay DOT org slash description.php?id=68303898 (slightly broken for inadvertent link click)
And https://github.com/Abd-007/Switch-Emulators-Guide/blob/main/... for a howto install Ryujinx/Yuzu Switch emulators.
But yeah, games arent my cup of tea, but I did try it. And it's BUTTER SMOOTH on real computer hardware. And yeah, we pierats had it before legit purchase. Again, pirates get the best experience and legit gets meh.
> It really makes me think Nintendo has an untapped market here to sell a little box you plug into your PC that plays switch games, interfaces with their controllers, etc. They've done oddball stuff like the SNES Gameboy player and Game

Cube GBA player add-ons in the past. It feels like there would be people willing to pay to properly play Switch games on their gaming PCs.
I guess they could do that, but that would cannibalize sales of their consoles. And then, what makes them any different than Steam?
The biggest benefit of a Switch is it's handheld and portable. The biggest pirate downside is that it nearly necessitates a desktop with significantly better equipment. I've heard some work being done with the Steam handheld.. but subpar at best.
