And another will pop up. Nintendo is playing a losing game hereMaybe so but the internet is at least being fueled by the level of butthurt comments from people getting upset despite probably already downloaded these said games that got removed
The iPhone people ruined it. I kept seeing TikToks and insta reels saying how emulation was possible for iPhones earlier this year and usually mentioned that site only
Good, people should actually pay for their gamesabsolutely
Nintendo doesn't even release many retro games anymore. Like 99 percent of the games there won't see a release in any form.

I kept seeing TikToks and insta reels saying how emulation was possible for iPhones earlier this year and usually mentioned that site onlyFucking clout seeking zoomers love to ruin shit for everyone. Remember when that Netflix Resident Evil show namedropped a popular pirate site? Thank goodness it's still around...for now
Was that site charging money for its services? Normally that's the big thing that the Nintendo Ninjas and Lawyers would go after a website.Definitely not. Maybe they had a donate button on the bottom but you could get anything with no strings attached for free
That already happened weeks ago or were they hit again?They were hit again, this time by not just Nintendo. The first one seemed to be a copyright troll, but it ended up putting the website into the limelight and...well...

This. People being so ridiculously blatant about it are basically ruining it for everybody, since now it's not even just Nintendo doing it.
Fuck zoomers and their TikTok. Wouldn't have been struck down if they didn't shout from the rooftops where to go.
Roms is like fight club. You don't talk about it.
Good, people should actually pay for their gamesHow do I pay for Fire Emblem 4 in English? Oh wait...
This. People being so ridiculously blatant about it are basically ruining it for everybody, since now it's not even just Nintendo doing it.Yeah, even news sites say it was the attention from iPhone users that put the site on lawyer's radars. They gotta learn to be more careful
Good, people should actually pay for their gamesA lot of these games are not available for purchase. So, if it's a choice between skullduggery or paying ridiculous scalper prices, I support raising the ole' Jolly Roger every time.
Yeah, even news sites say it was the attention from iPhone users that put the site on lawyer's radars. They gotta learn to be more carefulZoomers will never learn. They just want to go on Tiktok and shout it to the heavens. They'll kill a great site if it means they get 2 more followers.

Yeah, that's why I don't support looking for physical copies of rare games like that. Scalping is all too real, and that price is ridiculous for a not-pristine copy of that game.Worse still is many of those expensive copies are fakes that either don't work or have issues such as saves not working.
Every time Nintendo shuts something down, people overreact and think it's the end of emulation.No one is claiming emulation is going away. However, the site in question was a great resource that had an archive of games that have little to no chance of ever seeing release on modern hardware. They can still be found, but it becomes more tedious.
This doesn't bother me in the least because digital media does not go away.

And generally more unsafe.Also this.
Does the site in question charge and/or teach people how to pirate?Charging money is the main thing that gets emulators in trouble. But sites like this get hit because they're actually allowing people to download the games
