With a little google fu Iâm reading that emulators already exist for XBox One but they violate TOS for their app store. Do they just not take them down?
All emulators submitted to the app store get removed, yes. But if you build them with correct certificates or whatever you can sideload UWP apps on to Xbone, apparently.
No one is surprised by this.
I am surprised by Star Fox 2.
Good game list. Iâm disappointed at the lack of a single deep cut but I get it. SNES has a really big canon. They picked the correct 3 JRPGs, but the wrong DKC and the wrong Kirby. Iâm getting one, sigh.
Kirby 3 stinks, Super Star was the right choice
nintendo is bad
The famicom mini had a lot of games that were more interesting than popular. This is the opposite.
The SFox2 inclusion also fills me with cynicism.
I bet thisâll help Switch sales tho
Wake me up when theyâre at the GameCube Mini
Whyâs that? I think itâs a positive step for Nintendo to view unreleased and untranslated games as worth fixing up and shipping to a broad audience.
I look forward to not being able to find this one either.
Iâd argue the precedent for Nintendo doing that was some 10 years ago when Sin and Punishment popped up on Wii VC and then letting other publishers sell untranslated games
and then again when they starting selling EB Zero
the actual interesting part here, between Star Fox 2 and Yoshiâs Island is that theyâre doing Super FX games again
I guess Nintendo mustâve used fan-translation-style ROM hacking techniques for Star Fox 2. Itâs actually pretty unusual for legit game studios to even have anyone on staff familiar with those tricks, most programmers throw up their hands if they donât have source code. My feeling is this is a grassroots labor of love by somebody inside Nintendo who really wanted to see Star Fox 2 happen, was willing and able to ROM hack, and got buy-in from the higher-ups.
Iâm disappointed the game list isnât entirely games that start with âSuperâ.
if itâs like the NES Classic, itâs being done by NERD so itâs probably exactly that
ftfy
That game [Starfox 2] wonât be available to play from the start, however. Players will have to unlock it through playing the original Star Fox game, also included with the SNES Classic Edition system.
Huh.
