GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin seeing Steam release

When you think of GameCube and Wii emulation these days, one of the first tools that comes to mind is Dolphin. As it turns out, it’s now heading to Steam.
Currently Dolphin has a Steam page here. While it’s technically not live yet, fans can add it to their wishlist. Then when it has been officially made available, they’ll be notified. More information regarding “the process and features of the Steam release” will follow at launch – which is targeted for Q2 2023 at the moment.
The Dolphin team said the upcoming launch “has been the product of many months of work”.
Note that Dolphin is about emulation, not piracy – so don’t expect any free games. However, the tool allows titles to be played in a way that goes beyond the scope of the original GameCube and Wii hardware. That means things like better resolution. Also, for those that aren’t interested in motion controls, different controllers can be used while playing instead.
Obviously we’re only touching on the surface level of what’s possible. You can find more information on the official website here.
