Android powered games console OUYA will come equipped with a number of Nintendo gaming emulators. The emulators include EMUya, a NES emulator, SuperGNES and the Mupen64Plus which are Nintendo 64 emulators. The console will also come with a couple of SNES emulators. The NES emulato has been submitted to OUYA for review and has been confirmed for launch. OUYA forum admin and owner Ed Krassenstein has also confirmed that the Mupen64Plus project will also be available at launch. These will be available via the official store.

 

illegal much?

emulators aren't illegal, the roms are.

 

I can see a lawsuit incoming though.

If apple can do it, Nintendo should be able to do all sorts of lawsuits.

 

They might stand a chance under fair competition laws, but I ain't no Apple lawyer so I dunno.

Well, it is running on Android, so it would be capable, but I don't see this going well with Nintendo.

Dang this scream pending lawsuit. >_>

[Alph]

No because Nintendo won't get angry at all. No never. Like, never ever. You get meh?

[Keviin]

Well.. Emulators indeed aren't illegal, but roms are. But since emulators may convince people to download (illegal) roms, they could probably sue them but idk.

All I can say is Nintendo's not going to like the OUYA.

[cannonshane]

We have know this from the start, it runs using android, hell I have all of these emu's running on my phone.

I honestly don't understand how this console is even in the making....

emulation and running other companies games without an agreement??? how was that a solid business plan?

[Scooter_Johnson]

whats the point of an emulator without ROM's?

The emulation is only a small part of what it can do. The majority is running legitimate Android based games. How does this have anything to do with a solid business plan anyway.

Lol yeah but even if you bought a new one every year it wouldn't even cost you 50 cents a day.

I'm aware, but when you come out saying, we can run nintendo emulators and potential others, there's an implied intent being displayed.

I'am i to believe this console is banking on it's android games and not the ability to play nintendo, sega, sony etc games? please.....

[Scooter_Johnson]

dont think nintendo will be bothered as the rules state

 

you must own the actual game as its the sam crap thats posted on the istore and google play

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

I can't understand why Nintendo havn't said anything yet, more people pirating our beloved games

[WreckinMachineX]

This news has only been announced recently. With Nintendo about to make its Virtual Console U push and I'm sure they will have something to say about it.

[Cozmo]

when i read the topic, i was like "woah woah woah, are they actually going to do this!?" nintendo will get them for sure, but then again i haved emulators on my pc and nintendo hasnt done anything to my pc's hardware company for it.
