Don't worry Nintendo, there's no missed market here at all. Nobody wants more Metroid.

I am intrigued... time to mod a ROM.

Edit: Played for 15 minutes to test, was impressed. The mini-map is very nice, so are the save slots. Definitely a lot of quality work involved here.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

What's the best NES emulator thesedays?

I really am about to cave back into emulation. Feeling ultra burned out my Nintendo's VC moves and I'm assuming the Wii/Wii U stuff will not migrate over to the Switch. Not sure I should keep buying their roms.

For NES I tend to stick to NEStopia:

For Famicom I go with FCEUX:

8/16/32-bit emulation as a precedent; I've been staunch on that for years upon years. Have never regretted it.

I'll second Nestopia. Occasionally FCEUx for hacks that don't play nice with real hardware or Nestopia.

I have used FCEUx for years (and FCEU for years before that). I'm totally happy and satisfied with everything FCEUx does.

If you have an NES Classic, you could sideload it on there :)
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?
