Will I be detained if I have a device with an emulator installed while visiting the museum

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Just don't post about your visit to YouTube.

"...filled with framed lawsuits and litigations against their fans."

They can go suck on a tailpipe and die in the sewer.

So when's the cease and desist coming?

Only museum that people would actually enjoy if oil activists thew soup on the exhibits

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

What are they exhibiting? Lawsuits?

Never thought I'd say this, but I'd be down to vandalize this "museum".

Museum visitors are given 10 digital coins they can use to play the games, but be warned: it’s not possible to buy additional ones, so players will need to strategize and choose wisely.

This is so idiotic, yet somehow still 100% on brand for Nintendo.

No one at Nintendo knows how to run a successful business anymore. They're just profiting off their forebears decisions.

The switch was a really interesting games console, that they did absolutely nothing with.

It's not a business, it's a museum

No, a museum is part of culture and arts. They aren't there to make bank.

An art museum is. This is run by Nintendo, it's advertising/ commercial

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm assuming it's to make sure there's not long waits to try them. Giving a set number of tokens to visitors means they can roughly control the amount of time someone spends with those games. One person can't just buy 100 coins and spend all day on the same game.

Could have just done a ticketing system reserved in advance with fixed time blocks, though. But then your museum tour is on a schedule.

It sounds more like a shitty arcade.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pretty much all modern arcades just charge you for entry. No one pays for the individual games anymore because no one would do it in this day and age as it would be seen as overly expensive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

There's an arcade in my town called 1984 where the entry fee is only $20 and you can play all day, going for food and coming back no problem.

At least it was. I haven't been in a while.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

It almost reads like a satire article, it's quite ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 week ago

The games there better not run on any emulators.

First ride will be a court room with Weird Al’s “I’ll sue ya” playing as elevator music

Someone takes a photo "six years dungeon!"

Nintendo when I agree to the terms and conditions so my children can have fun for an hour

Followed immediately by the world's first execution over counterfeit entrance tickets. $60 bucks is $60 bucks.
