I have a hard time defending the YouTubers on this one. I mean, Nintendo has been pretty good about allowing older games to be played on its modern consoles. See VGC, the NES/SNES/N64 pass, and the multiple re-releases put out for the Switch. At some point just pony up the money or play the older games on a physical older console.

Where the hell am I supposed to get a N64?

What's the point of that? Nintendo isn't getting any money from that sale so from their perspective it's literally no different from emulation.

If there is no legitimate means for you to purchase an original product from the company and give them your money then why the hell do they care if you're emulating something they weren't going to get money either way
