Do you happen to know how they are able to provide all those retro games? I can't imagine they licensed that many games.

By outright piracy ofc. They include a shoddy SD card full of ROMs, but you can and should use your own card (for longevity) with your own ROMs (for legal reasons...)

Oh wow. Their website says theyve been operating since 2019 or something so I assumed they had something going that stopped them from being shutdown by Nintendo.

Some of them cleverly don't include any Mario games, only Maroo games.
