Streisand effect in action. I am never going to buy anything Nintendo, because they're a dog-shit company. I hadn't realised a Switch emulator existed. Andddd... My wife would really like to play Pikmin 4.

    Yep all you need to do is find a copy of the firmware (you actually can get the latest firmware from the internet archive) and the decryption keys (they're a little bit more difficult to find, can't remember where I got them from, but it took a long time for me to find a working download)

    Or just download a FitGirl repack of any Switch game and you don't have to worry about any firmware/decryption nonsense. Just install and play.

    I've wondered about those. Don't they get outdated as the emulators become more developed? I'm assuming it's packed with whichever version was the latest stable release at the time.

    You might also ask nicely for folks to send you theirs. Especially since Nintendo is going after Yuzu, I'm sure there's plenty of folks that would volunteer keys via DM just to stick it to Nintendo...

    They are up to 4 already‽ I mean I never really kept up with a game I started at the second entry and wasn't particularly good at at the time but still...

    Are you seriously asking if a popular game series that first came out over twenty years is "up to 4 already"?

    What world are you living in?
