“Lakka is a multi-console emultor that has been ported over to the Switch which allows you to play games from 45 different systems.”

I didn’t even know there were 45 systems, let alone 45 worth emulating

Not sure if they are all "worth emulating". Uzebox sounds promising. :)

PCE and SuperGrafx FTMFW!!!

Skuletor2134d ago

MAME is an emulator, so this emulator also emulates an emulator?

rainslacker2134d ago

MAME typically refers to the arcade hardware that it emulates.

I’d buy a Switch for emulators. Although a PC works but this would be cool for on the go

Akarogg 2134d ago

Really? You new to gaming?

chris2352135d ago

emulators suck, always have, always will.

Imalwaysright2135d ago

Maybe it's your PC that sucks.

mrmikew20182135d ago

It's ok to say you "don't know" what an emulator is, because your claim about it is completely wrong.

Razzer2135d ago

You sure? Not because this is on the Switch?

When done poorly and used for piracy, sure.

I'm not against emulation itself, but I do frown upon industry killers (e.g., never owned a readily available game and just emulates and pirates roms). If you just want to play enhanced versions of old games you own or it's the only way to play games that are price gouged that you missed, I say go for it. But if you're trying to download say a PS3 emulator to play Uncharted, you're likely an ass.

Gh05t2135d ago

Right I hate that games are emulated and they play better and faster than they did on their original platform. It sucks when load times are quicker.

SegaGamer2134d ago

I would love to hear you reason for thinking this way, you know, just for a laugh.

PurpHerbison2134d ago

Some emulators suck, some are great and extremely polished.

Father__Merrin2134d ago

Yes they do they are ok for a quick trip down memory lane but to have emulator as a permanent feature is a bit sad.

Goldenhawk5212133d ago (Edited 2133d ago )

Yea cuz its not like they culd just mod an original console or just flash a game rom on a cartrige or anything. That stuff impossible 2 do.

Of course it can its a nivida shield.

BluEx6102134d ago

I used to have the tablet when it first came out and loved using it as a emulator/set top box. It was like the original Switch, where I could play portably or hook it up to my TV. I do hope Nvidia makes a new one since my old one's HDMI port broke. I'm considering on buying another one, but I have a switch so I'm probably all set.

I also used to love playing emulators on my PSP. As great as switch is, it isn't as portable as a PSP. Now I feel like digging through my old collection to find it lol.

Muzikguy2134d ago

It’s amazing how quick that system came and went. I keep forgetting about. It’s like you blink and you missed it lol

Review - Stitch (Switch) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Overall, I think Stitch is an ultra quaint title that oozes warmth and welcome in gameplay and visual presentation, and is just such a decompression tool after a long day doing literally anything. It gives me such joy and relaxation to bring together the numbers and colors until I’ve made a bicycle or a nutcracker or whatever. I’ll do Christmas puzzles in April, it’s fine and the game doesn’t judge me. Unlock more and more pieces, don’t wait for power ups or villains because there are none, and just keep making yourself happy. If games are art, this one is a sweater my mom made for me, and I’m wearing it to keep out any and all chilly elements. But, just like mom, I’ll only pretend to listen."
