Nintendo's legal department wants to know your location

Switch 1 emulators have come a long way honestly. Prior to my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily I could run TOTK at 50 fps in some areas at FSR using framerate unlocking mods and my specs are fairly outdated. Obviously in more crowded areas the framerate would drop but you have to also consider I was using Yuzu which has been discontinued. There's newer emulators which are much better and continue to be updated

Where did the $25 come from? Isn’t the upgrade pack for TotK $10?

The worst part is, I consider myself a bit of a gooner; I like alluring, attractive characters. But that was meant to be a story-based game, and yet it designed so many jokes around attractive women dressing in rags, being clueless, easily offended, and seemed to design the story around an intense contact between a shonen hero and a large-breasted woman.

At least in something like Stellar Blade, they evade the subject because they know there’s nothing constructive to say.

I absolutely love XC1 and 3, and I enjoy XCX for everything that's not its story, and...

Yeah I totally agree with you. XC2 is cursed on many levels. It's the one I just can't replay and it's mainly because of its characters and degenerate quirks. You've played the worst game of the series by far.

Emulation isn't illegal if you own the game, and even if you don't they have to prove you never bought it.

The only reason Nintendo could go after the emulators they did was because those companies were charging money for a product using Nintendo's proprietary encryption key. They can't touch the open source ones (yet).
