NES Emulator Passes Microsoft Certification For Xbox One (UPDATED)

An NES emulator had been submitted to Microsoft to appear on Xbox One. While it may seem unlikely, but the company has approved the request. The makers of the emulator posted on their Twitter that their application had passed Microsoft’s certification process. It’s really only a matter of time before Nintendo steps in to put a stop to the emulator. Thoughts ? 

UPDATE 8/18/16 - Microsoft have put their foot down and have unpublished the emulator. The application has now been pulled from the store. It was taken down as it was submitted as an application for the Xbox One which would have seen Xbox owners having a variety of Nintendo Entertainment System games in the palms of their hands. If it had been published there would have been legal trouble between the 2 companies.
