Personally I don't mind emulation for past games, especially games that some may have missed back in NES/SNES/Genesis era. However, emulating games like BoTW that are new and just released just feel wrong to me. It's a new game that just got released, why are we so eager to emulate the game at this point? You want the game to succeed? Support it. Let Nintendo know this is what you want. Emulate it maybe 5 years later or something, not one or two months into its initial release. I rarely hear people trying to emulate games that just released or are still early in their release cycle. i just feel that Zelda BoTW has potential to sell similar to that of OoT or even greater and I don't think emulation really helps it. It's like your being passive-aggressive when supporting Nintendo and their products. That's just me, personally. I don't mind emulating a game like FE Geneology since it's been years since that game came out and it's Japan only. I do mind emulating a two month old game like BoTW.
