While we only get a brief look at the screen, it appears whatever device the controller was connected to seems to be playing Super Mario World. <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Super_Mario_World\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">That&apos;s a SNES title<\/a>, of course\u2014which suggests that its being emulated on a Windows PC underneath.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it is the superior machine, of course. Still, for a company that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/nintendo-is-shedding-its-veneer-of-kindness-and-embracing-a-new-reputation-vigorous-legal-bully\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">has keenly banged the drum against emulators<\/a> and sites distributing ROMS\u2014even if they&apos;re used by those that own an original copy of the games they wish to emulate\u2014it does seem a bit rich. Nintendo has even argued that emulation <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/nintendos-claim-that-emulation-stifles-innovation-isnt-just-absurdits-hypocritical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;harms innovation&#8221;<\/a>, which also seems like a bit of a stretch.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, what did we really expect? A proper SNES running in every booth at the Nintendo Museum? Sounds like a nightmare to maintain, to me. You could always <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/en-gb\/Games\/Nintendo-Switch-download-software\/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System-Nintendo-Switch-Online-1632515.html?srsltid=AfmBOooGVj4Hq-2gL542fubBGHaE3T42RosLLB4NbusMnBiTFg4Ffimf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">run them officially on the Nintendo Switch<\/a> of course, to keep things above board.<\/p>\n<p>But that&apos;s a Windows sound effect for sure, so unless this video&apos;s been edited, it looks like the Nintendo Museum may have taken the easy route and booted them up on a good old fashioned PC, via an emulator.<\/p>\n<p>And that&apos;s sort of the whole point, isn&apos;t it? While ROMs and emulators exist in the minds of many in a sort of moral grey area, I don&apos;t think I&apos;d be blowing too many minds if I said that people are drawn to them for the sheer convenience, among other things. It&apos;s just, y&apos;know, not actually legal.<\/p>\n<p>As several Twitter users pointed out, the fact the controller was easily disconnected also means that, thanks to that open USB cable, this particular machine could now be connected to by any number of devices\u2014and thereby very easily compromised.<\/p>\n<p>So, a fail on the emulation front, and a cybersecurity whoopsie all in one go. Good stuff. Anyways, one simple little sound effect, one slightly embarrassing reveal. I could hark on about this being a massive tacit win for the PC and emulation as a whole, but it seems in poor taste at this point. I think someone at the Nintendo Museum may be about to receive a nasty letter, and that&apos;s enough to ruin anyone&apos;s day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"0323bcd8-73a9-4fa6-a85f-b17d4b122840\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best gaming PC\" data-dimension48=\"Best gaming PC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1500px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"cLHXUVfQ97mAGcMCS5uym6\" name=\"gaming-pc-pink.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/the-official-nintendo-museum-appears-to-be-emulating-snes-games-on-a-windows-pc-which-is-slightly-embarrassing.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-pc\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"0323bcd8-73a9-4fa6-a85f-b17d4b122840\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best gaming PC\" data-dimension48=\"Best gaming PC\" data-dimension25=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best gaming PC<\/strong><\/a>: The top pre-built machines.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-laptop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best gaming laptop<\/strong><\/a>: Great devices for mobile gaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/the-official-nintendo-museum-appears-to-be-emulating-snes-games-on-a-windows-pc-which-is-slightly-embarrassing\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo has had a difficult relationship with emulation, and that&apos;s putting it mildly.
