This is the real reason Nintendo is suing emulators and ROM hosts. They JUST realized there is a market for this. Took them 30+ years to figure it out.

    I mean the game in question is the first of two remakes of Pokemon Red, and (if I remember correctly) the first official re-release of a remake of Red. I'm not going to say all of the releases are the same experience by a long shot, but it's a little hard to argue they're only now figuring it out.

    If you want to say that it should have been made more available to current platforms sooner then that's a different argument.

    I would way rather play on a platform that allows me to save state at any time and as many as I want (Though I guess most of my devices are set up to have 10-20 saves max, but I could set them up for however many I want.)
