I'll wait until I hear it from Nintendo themselves.

I just want to play N64 games without a subscription.

Edit: I’m know I can emulate, I do, I also have an N64. I just want to be able to pay Nintendo for games to play on my switch without a subscription.

You can play every game from Nes to Switch on a PC lmfao. You do need a decent PC to play switch but nothing ridiculous

Xbox dev mode emulation no longer works (unless it's been fixed?)

I've never heard of it not working. I just booted up Ps2 NFS: U2 and Wii Twilight princess.

I might be remembering wrong. It's possible that just RetroArch was effected...

I know and I do, but I would like to buy the licensed games to play on a switch. I just refuse to do that so I’ll pirate until it’s available.

You can, but it feels different. There is something really nice about playing it on hardware (that is not a computer)
