Hmm... I think doing emulation on the GCN for either PS1 OR Saturn would be hard, but though I believe they ARE emulating the NES and SNES games, I kinda think they might actually bother porting MM8, in which case the difficulty MIGHT be the same either way (read: I have no idea). Why do I think they'd port MM8? Well, I'm not sure I actually think that actually... I know the more powerful the system, the more power is needed to emulate it. I also think the GCN is plenty powerful enough to emulate the games on DECENT emulators. The question in my mind is which would be easier, to write fast and good emulation for a PS1/Saturn game, or to port the game to the system?
