Hello Gamer’s We all know that ‘retro’ gaming has come back with vengeance in the last few years. With the release of the Nintendo classic consoles and even third-party retro consoles to raspberry pi custom creations. However, if you aren’t a console gamer/android user or only an android user; what does one do to get their retro fix ? One word, ’emulators’ and that is exactly what we are going to breakdown today starting with nes and working our way to PS3/Xbox360. I won’t discuss where to find emulators or rooms but I’m sure with a little searching and know how, you’ll be able to find them. So what will I be talking about ? The best confirmed working emulators for available consoles, so let’s dive in! NES

Currently there isn’t a working emulator for any of the current gen consoles but with a little time and patience, there will be something out there for those who down console game or miss the older stuff but don’t have the means to buy all the old consoles again. So if you follow my list, you will have everything you need from NES to WII and everything in between! I know, “but where do I find games?”; well I can’t exactly tell you that much but I’m sure you can find whatever it is you need if you look in the right area. However I will say this last piece, if you do have the means to have a tactile collection then please, get out there and support the industry even if it is the glory of days gone by (and having all the consoles looks pretty cool I must say)
