Nokia In Trouble With Nintendo for Showing Off Emulator

nokia n900 Recently, Nokia (perhaps foolishly) released a video of their new N900 smart phone running an SNES emulator playing some classic titles. The video had a voiceover which clearly amped up the phones gaming capabilities for classic emulators:

“There’s already a bunch of great retro gaming emulator apps available for you to download,” says the video voiceover which clearly shows options to use emulators for consoles such as the NES, SNES and GameBoy.

SO Nintendo got a little angry. But to be honest, I think they’re taking this too far. If anything, they should be considering releasing emulators for old-school games on smart phones like the have with the Wii. There’s definitely a market there and people would definitely jump at an official emulator rather than a third party one which is difficult to set up.
