>being upset that Nintendo prevented other sites from selling their games illegally
It's not like it matters, because it's still piss easy to find roms online.
The real faggotry is when they take down fan projects that aren't making profit and are just labors of love. Although, it may not be an absolutely terrible thing, because Terraria came about due to a shut down Mario fangame.

>not having every single NES, SNES and N64 rom already

You can easily find all NTSC and pal games if you actually search. I downloaded most of them (pal) last week, all work perfectly

>>386527303
Hey, anon, make a game and then look at the sites stealing it - would it be fun for you then?

You'll never know, since you're a fucking NEET who has never made anything in his life and his only accomplishment will be blowing his brains out in your parents basement.

This is what I don't understand. You can download PS1, 2 and PSP games off Emuparadise, but Sony doesn't do anything about it, why does Nintendo?

Did they only take down games that they're actively selling? If so, I understand their intent.

But if they took down every single game and refuse to sell them, that just makes them massive dicks. they're purposely not selling games, and preventing the ability to play them, just to be spiteful.

>>386528181
They took down all 1st party Nintendo games.

All Nintendo games from every Nintendo system ever released.

Yes actually because imagine if Super Mario Bros wasn't easily available for free like it is now and you had to buy it on Nintendo's store or get the cart on ebay as your literal only options. It wouldn't be fun for us but you're in complete denial if you don't think they've missed out on millions of potential sales because of pirates making their older games easily available for free.

The fuck are you on about? If your only choice to replay a favorite Nintendo game was to rebuy it on their newest system or pay into inflated ebay prices you sure as shit probably would be rebuying the game on their newest system if you wanted it that badly.

We don't live in that world they wanted to create so you're going to be satisfied with thinking you can play it for free at any time within minutes instead of having to pay Nintendo for it. That's where the potential sale came from.

>>386529540

>>386529663
Yes. Yes it is. They own it, they shouldn't have to hunt them down everytime they want to release a game either.
It's not a partnership they have, there's no reason Nintendo should willingly be their bitch in any capacity.

>>386529815
Unfortunately, it's on them to provide their games for us to buy. They can attempt to claim the high ground all they want, but willingly refusing to sell games and then preventing people from downloading them is greed at its worst, and they shouldn't cry fowl when people don't take that sitting down.

putting two things under one broad definition doesn't make them the same thing. That's like saying companies not putting their movies on VHS these days is the same caliber of kikery. Restricting all of the people who don't own a DVD/Bluray player from buying movies so they can produce them cheaper and make a bigger profit. Sounds like a ridiculous thing to equate right?

>>386531136
As you'll notice, I never recommended a console period, since many of them are guilty of this. However,

>purchase game for mac
>can't play it on PC

This is just stupidity. PC has so many emulators that you can literally emulate a Mac inside of it.

>>386531317
The company should be making their products easy, available, and convenient for their customers. If I want to put my movie on a VHS, they should allow me the right to. And if I can just do it on my own, who are they to say that it's wrong?

If you can legally obtain the product in the format they have it and modify it to be usable with your hardware then all power to you.

My dad backed up all my gamecube games in 2005 because I was a messy kid who broke stuff easily. Now I play those backups on Dolphin because it's the superior way to play those old games. The problem would be if I were to redistribute those backups. It's their product and they have the power to shut down redistribution of it.

>>386531721
Nice answer. When is Starfire coming out so I can pick Injustice 2 back up?

>>386531813
I can understand that, but if they're gonna shut it down, at the least they can offer it up for resale on their channels. So far I've yet to see mother 3 make a comeback, or even see the states in the first place. I don't see Lufia or Lufia 2. And woe for the obscure games that didn't get any love.

On one hand, its completely within their rights
On the other hand, im just gonna go elsewhere

>>386530174
Nintendo gets no money from second hand sales, so unless they provide a way to purchase it directly, it makes no difference.

>>386531929
Mother 3 is one of the few I'd say is a fair point. At this point though they've acknowledged it so many times that I think it'll be a shock if we don't see it come back in the form of a remaster or translated port within the next year. There's simply too much easy money there for them to not do something with it. As for the status quo? It's fucked up but that's how it is.

As far as Lufia and Lufia 2, those games are from other publishers so it's on them to distribute that game, not Nintendo.

Have you ever payed attention to Nintendo business practices in the past 20-30 years, and how well they have worked? Just because something isn't directly making a profit, or even any money at all, doesn't mean it isn't cutting at nintendo's bottom line. They need to protect their image and branding. If they start letting shitty made fan projects through the door, Nintendo products become synonymous with cheap, poor quality. It's all a marketing tactic, and it's damn well worked.

Used game sales is technically pawning and therefore 100% legal as long as the retailer has a license to do so.

>>386528181
Yeah this would be a real problem, you know, if there were absolutely no other places to go to in order to download these Nintendo game ROMs. I mean, emuparadise is the only website that has them after all. I guess we'll all just have to open our wallets and shell out money for the officially emulatable stuff Nintendo offers today don't we?

The difference here between used game sales and pirating is that used games does not dilute the market; it simply keeps the same games that were already sold in circulation. Pirating a game is the equivalent of putting counterfeit money into circulation. Nintendo can easily put used game sales into consideration and modify their projections and sales tactics. There is nothing they can do for downloading games.

>>386536907
You're responding to poor bait.

>>386528969
I know you're making a joke, but this has always been Nintendo's thing about shit like this. Nintendo is okay with pirates and fan games and shit, so long as there is zero income going towards the proprietors because of Nintendo-related dealings. AMR2 got shut down because the guy was taking donations. A Fox in Space and SMBZ R got slapped because both of them were raking in patreon cash specifically for those videos. Emuparadise makes bank by having those fucking gay advert captchas that you need to watch to then solve to download a game off their servers. The only reason CEMU devs aren't getting leaned on by Nintendo is because emulators actually fall within legality somehow, just like Action Replay and Game Genie do.
