First Nintendo Switch ROMs Have Appeared Online

ThisGenGaming says "Multiple Nintendo Switch ROMs have been made public for the first time today."

[porkChop]

There's no way to play them yet, so it's not much of an issue right now. Who knows though, anything can happen.

[Eonjay]

I am gonna guess and say on a powerful android tablet or perhaps on of the small touchscreen Windows 10 laptop/tablets. It's gonna need a touchscreen for sure.

[indysurfn]

It may not need a touch screen if they boot it up in DOCKED mode every time. I dont have to use my touch screen (except during initial setup). Too bad this sucks for Nintendo, could spell trouble. I guess they get punished for not making proprietary storage. SD and SDHC cards are open format.

[MrFisher21]

As I closely follow the homebrew society, the switch will be fully emulated in a few months. It's not an issue of it being difficult. It's more an issue of only a few people working on this project. But I say 3 months tops.

[JackTheLiz]

Yep immediately go for the piracy angle.

[XbladeTeddy]

That's the only reason for it though. Why else would you rip games and put them online for an active console? I'll tell you why, it's to allow as many hackers as possible to find ways to exploit and eventually run said games through modding.

[chris235]

who would want to pirate switch games? and why? oh, i see, just because. personally, i wouldn't even play them for free.

[MrFisher21]

I like to smell my farts. What' your point?

[EddieNX]

Personally, I think you must have a horrible taste in games, I bet you have your steak well done...

[Angeljuice]

Toxaplasm is present in in 40% of all meat sold in supermarkets. It is transferred to humans who eat rare or raw meat.
Toxaplasm are miniscule worm like organisms that lay eggs on the lining of the brain.
They aren't dangerous by themselves, but they reduce reflex/response times by 1-3% as they interfere with signals from the brain.
Having toxaplasm means you are 40% more likely to be involved in a human error fatal car crash.
Bearing in mind how anal some gamers are about response times in their equipment, you'd be far better off not eating rare meat.

Rare meat kills gaming skills.

Some people don't like tasting blood...

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Hes got that ketchup on his steak. and on his bib lel.

@2pacolypse @angeljuice, confirmed for never having orderd steak at a restaurant.

[EddieNX]

Angeljuice that explains a lot, but I like expensive cuts and I likd them rare af 😆 Big Game LMAO

[Prodigy1971]

I dont like this. Hope this will not hurt Nintendo or the Switch in any way...

[Angeljuice]

It is inevitable.

[LOL_WUT]

Aslong as Nintendo keeps making games, then who cares? ;)

[babadivad]

I think this maybe a downside of making a system as weak as the switch. A majority of PCs are going to have no trouble emulating the system.

For X1 and PS4, even though they are using x86 hardware, you still need a PC several times more powerful to brute force emulate them. That's a very small percentage of PC owners. So it isn't worth the effort to even try.

With the switch, I believe my PC is powerful enough to emulate that system should someone get an emulator up and running.

[WeAreLegion]

GDI people. You're supposed to wait until the system and its games are too old to make the companies money.

[Big_Game_Hunters]

considering how fast the NES classic sold out, i doubt that day will come for Nintendo.

[InTheZoneAC]

People always tell me to play roms on PC instead of buying VC games or Nintendo mini classic systems. I guess I have to get these so I don't have to buy a switch

[feraldrgn]

*sigh* Companies aren't going to make open improvements to their consoles if people keep stealing.
If they start forcing DRM, you only have yourselves to blame.

[2pacalypsenow]

Nintendo is not doing that anyways lol

[babadivad]

Emulation would be impossible with today's PC hardware if the Switch wasn't so weak.

[Big_Game_Hunters]

These pirates sure are excited to play all these games they apparently had no intrest in.

[Platformgamer]

Semi-on topic: the wiiU is crackable?

[luis_spartano]

Yes

[babadivad]

Already done. Just needs fine tuning.
