  Nintendo could make fucking bank if it was easier to actually pay them to play their old games. They have no leg to stand on since I can’t.

    It boggles my mind that they aren’t just packaging up old games into an exe and posting them one by one on Steam. Its free money.

    nintendo does not want you to play their old titles, theyve been quoted saying “emulation stifles innovation” to me this just says that we cant play old games because it makes their new ones look bad. Nintendo is pulling a call of duty on us, just re-releasing games with a fresh coat of paint and a new gimmick for example MK with its new open world. Zelda with an open world. Smash brothers, Pokemon… you get it. Dont get me wrong i love these games and IPs, but the games have barely changed since 64. I will say the new DK and MK titles look great, but Ill just wait till we can fully emulate switch 2 and keep my money.

    Plus i wont have to worry about them bricking my PC. The last good hardware theyve released was the 3ds and wii u. but they only became great when the modding scene stepped in and made them so. They are clearly worried about the modding scene, dumping games, and adding emulators for old titles. To me, nintendo is dead and has been for a while. The dev teams within nintendo are still pushing out gold. Whilst everyone else there is looking to fuck over the consumer.

        Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Mortal Kombat Deception, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks.

        They tried that. It was not good.

      I’ve only played Nintendo games on-and-off but the last truly special innovation I can remember to the Mario formula was the Super Mario Galaxy games. I can’t recall anything else like it that they’ve done recently

        Breath of the wild definitely comes to mind. The combat and puzzles in that game are an absolute treat. The amount of tools they give the player is unlike anything ive played before, heres a decent clip as an example

        But before that… yeah mario galaxy and metroid prime were pretty much all i can think of off the top of my head.

    They could literally just sell ROM files, bring your own emulator

    They’re not stupid, they’re manipulative. In my experience, that’s always the case in situations like these.

    If I ever get sued by nintendo for some reason I’m making a large part of my case to try and convince investors how much money they could make having games available on pc, I doubt I could win a lawsuit but I will do my best to be a seed that changes your company forever

  Pirating Nintendo games is a good deed. Everyone should be proud of it.
