If you didn't see the Nintendo 64 making an appearance on the Xbox One Store; chances are, you won't see it again. Thanks to Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform, the emulator made a brief appearance on the store; only to see fans outraged by its quick disappearance.
The Nintendo 64 emulator, presented as Win64e10, briefly appeared on the Xbox One Store before its was unceremoniously pulled out by Microsoft. The removal was quick, but not quick enough for others to download it. According to reports, the emulator initially worked on all systems, until the later part when when it only worked on Windows PC and mobile devices.
Players who downloaded the Nintendo 64 emulator later posted their sentiments online, saying "I'm pissed, I just hear about this and I go to buy it so I can play some sweet n64 games but now the app doesn't run on Xbox. So either this gets updated, or I WANT A REFUND!"
The Nintendo 64 emulator (Win64e10) featured on the Windows Store was priced at $10. It even detailed the games available, including Super Mario 64. Despite Microsoft claiming, it's compatible with the XBox One console, the emulator actually works only on PC, tablets and Windows Phones.
According to IGN, this is not the first time, Microsoft pulled an emulator on their Store. A multi-console emulator that has the ability to to host ROMs of Nintendo, SEGA Genesis and NES was also pulled out. The incident happened on the early part of September this year.
Emulators can work on jailbroken consoles and readily play games exclusive on the other platform. In the case of the Nintendo 64 emulator, the Super Mario was listed.
