Ce jeu culte de la GameCube sera bientôt disponible sur PC et Android sans avoir besoin d’un émulateur
L'émulation, c'est bien, mais c'est toujours moins pratique qu'un simple fichier exécutable qu'il suffit d'ouvrir pour lancer un jeu.

Et l'un des meilleurs jeux de la GameCube vient tout juste de passer à la casserole. Nul doute que l'émulation n'a jamais été aussi populaire auprès des joueurs…
