The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing (www.pcgamer.com)

Doesn't change a thing, Nintendo is bound by law to protect their IPs.

Why the law is this way and if it should be changed (which it should IMHO) are completely different questions.

i think we are mostly arguing that it has to be changed when this topic comes up. its not just nintendo and not just games though too.

Yes, like many things in the space of copyright and patents, this should be changed and defanged.

But the only changes we will ever see is making it more and more into a weapon against consumers. Nintendo, Disney and all the other big IP holders will never allow for anything else, they will use their money and power to prevent it.
