A few months ago, we took note of 3DNES, a surprising new emulator that automatically adds depth to the flat, blocky pixels of classic Nintendo Entertainment System games. The Web-based beta version of the emulator from March is getting a full release as a $30, downloadable Windows executable later today via itch.io.

Ars Technica got exclusive access to the near final version of that standalone emulator earlier this month. Our time testing 3DNES reveals a promising new direction for classic game emulation, but there are still many rough edges.
