![]() You can do a ton of fun stuff with the app, like, maybe playing Metroid Prime in VR. If you’re interested in using Dolphin Emulator before its Steam release, you can find more information on how it works here. Once upon a time, Graham described emulation as the “similarly shady cousin of piracy, but where one means you don’t give money to currently jobbing developers, the other is often an act of preserving and making accessible games that otherwise would be borderline or outright unplayable.” The Steam page doesn’t even name the consoles it’s emulating, instead referring to the GameCube and the Wii as the “cube-shaped and motion-controlled consoles” respectively.

Nintendo’s probably clutching their millions of gems as we speak, but emulation is both legal and essential to game preservation, so hey ho. The 3DS and Wii U eShops shut down just yesterday, meaning this announcement was very well timed, but it also means you’ll no longer be able to buy many classics, like Ocarina Of Time, on any modern system.

Plus, emulating games on Steam Deck will likely get a whole lot easier, just in case you wanted to play Mertroid Prime on the go. Of course, Dolphin is also available on PC through other methods, so what’s the biggie? Well, older games will now probably benefit from Steam’s cloud saves and remote play.
