Switch 2 is crunch time for Nintendo and backward compatibility
It’s no longer a luxury — it’s a baseline requirement
However, PS3 architecture was so elaborate and unique that it remains next to impossible to emulate to this day
I'm no expert on the subject, but I happen to know that RPCS3 exists, and they claim ~70% of titles are playable today.
"Playable" is doing a lot of work.
Don't get me wrong: I've played through games with it and it's really great. But there's a ton of glitches and games that don't play well. In another 5 or 10 years (hopefully I've upgraded my hardware by then) it'll probably be great. But today it's reserved for enthusiasts who enjoy tinkering with settings or playing less demanding games.
I only used it to replay Kingdom Hearts a few years ago, but I never had any issues with it. And based on this video RPCS3 released yesterday, it looks like there are plenty of games that are very playable, by any definition.
Shit man I’ve been playing NCAA 14 on my pc for like 5 years now. It’s been almost perfect.
Nintendo: "Let's force retro gamers to buy the Switch if they want to play our titles, by pressuring Steam to remove all Nintendo emulators, and by suing Switch emulators into oblivion."
Also Nintendo: "Why don't retro gamers want to buy our products anymore?"
