Giving you another easy way to download and keep it up to date, the Dolphin Emulator for GameCube and Wii is coming to Steam. Even though it's going to be on Steam, they don't dare mention Nintendo directly on the Steam page: "Dolphin is an emulator for the big N's 6th and 7th generation consoles, featuring enhancements such as increased resolution, save states, and netplay."
In their official blog post, they said to expect a feature article going over the features of the Steam release later, as this has been a "product of many months of work". This will make getting it on Steam Deck easier than ever, and they've even confirmed it will support Cloud Saves too.
Naturally, the Steam release is just the emulator, you will still need to have your own copy of games to run in it.
They haven't given an exact date, other than the plan is to have it in Early Access on Steam by the end of 2023. They're going with Early Access as some Steam specific features aren't finished yet, plus they want to gather feedback on what people want from the Steam release.
You can follow it on Steam.

But why not concentrate the work giving it wayland suport?
Quoting: StoneColdSpiderWe need to make sure the Dolphin Emulator doesnt rise up and over throw man!.......And here I thought the link was going to be an AI joke of some sort.
Quoting: pete910This will make Nintendo ecstaticThe amusing thing is that actually it should.
Like, if they embraced the whole deal and stuck a bunch of their games on Steam with a big fanfare they might sell a lot of games with almost zero cost to them.
But we know they won't.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyNintendo's business model has always been "You buy Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games." You're never going to see Mario officially appear in a game on a non-Nintendo platform.Quoting: pete910This will make Nintendo ecstaticThe amusing thing is that actually it should.
