Good thing I’m not bothered by downvotes, because here they come.
As a retro gaming nerd with a ton of older Nintendo hardware, as well as modern emulation hardware, I don’t think it’s ethical to emulate the current gen. If the current gen supports the software, buy the game and play it on the current hardware. Shit, the physical games from prior eras have outperformed my retirement account in some cases.
That said, when you are given no legitimate options to purchase and play the game, well, you know, use your “legally acquired backup”
I guess you haven't noticed that the Switch is not current gen.
I guess you live in a country where typical incomes can afford purchasing Nintendo games and hardware without giving up more important things, like food and shelter.
All switch games are backwards compatible with the switch 2, so yeah, still current gen for software.
Yes I do.
