This is a joke, in case you didn't guess from such comments as:

   Input media can be either the bundled console (see photograph above)
   or a PC keyboard via adapter. The first solution requires a bit of
   experience when entering text, because each character is represented
   by a 3 degree angle of the analog stick. Internationally less
   frequently used characters like the backslash were, therefore, not
   implemented.

If you missed the date, Ix published the article as an April Fool joke.

Emulators for running Nintendo software on Linux really do exist; see
"http://www.eskimo.com/~slack/emu.html" for information.
