To be honest we would have never known about Hong Kong 97 the greatest NES game ever created that destroyed 1.2 Billion forgetin' Reds had it not been discovered by a forgetin' red.

kinda sucks for the ppl who wanted to play the games and either didnt wanna pay a huge price for them, or simply couldnt get them anywhere else. It's nintendo's stuff tho so they can do whatever they want it it, im ok with that.

Is it a loss of profit when the item in question isn't even being produced and sold by the company anymore? If anything the resale of the product is theft, the money that goes to the third party seller could have gone to the company had the company continued to produce the item. Reselling of the product by a non licensed reseller for more than it's MSRP steals potential profit.

Isn't a rom or emulation a recreation of a product anyway? That would classify it as a forgery.

Edit: I guess Nintendo takes those down too either way.

Boomsticks Alt · November 13, 2018, 09:07:56 PM

Seriously it's their fault for not putting it on the forgetin internet

inb4 "They couldn't do that" of course they could if some random people on the internet could

Blockomaniac · November 13, 2018, 09:15:03 PM

Nintendo isn't suing all ROM sites, It just won 12 million from an Arizona man who ran a site called "LoveROMS". Here's what the page has now.

Trogtor · November 13, 2018, 09:37:56 PM

there was one website i remember where you could play rom games in your browser

If Nintendo dislikes rom sites so much then they should try providing a service thats on par/better.

It's a shame a virtual console of the Switch would've been the best they've ever pushed out.
