Re: Nintendo Reportedly Banning Switch 2's Using MIG Cartridges

Exactly, getting people to understand this is hard work. For instance, I have MAME, Final Burn, Neo Geo on my modded Xbox, hooked up to a CRT. I ALSO have 150+ Arcade Archive releases, Capcom, Konami, Blizzard, Pac Man comps on Switch, a Midway Arcade 1up, and until recently, Astro City and Egret minis. The Xbox mostly comes into use if I want to play something that either wasn't converted - say, OutRunners - or something I'm not willing to pay extortionate second-hand prices for - Majin Ou is a nice game, but not £200 worth of nice. Neither of those examples is 'stealing'.

Looks great, having just picked up a mini PC I'm currently playing Gridrunner from the Minotaur Collection - couldn't get anywhere on the PS version as it really doesn't work on a pad, on PC it's absolute arcade perfection. I've only ever bounced off two of his games - Space Giraffe was just too much for me, and I've literally not a clue what I'm supposed to be doing on Akka Arrh.

That's a poor analogy.
Let's take Double Dragon Adcance, an actual video game, as an example.
I've played it emulated over the years as I consider it the absolute apex of the series. If you had a minty boxed copy at the 150.00-250.00 it seems to go for, you've not lost a sale, because emulation or not, I simply won't pay that for a single video game.
However, guess what I did when it got a proper Switch release.....?
