The short answer is yes as Educational purposes have special exemptions regarding fair use. Legally speaking anyway. Morally that is a different story as academia, journals, and textbooks are mired in controversy, shoddy ethics, and elitism. Nintendo isn't really the same thing as academic journals. They don't make their publications exclusive. Their games are available for anyone to purchase. Their products are all luxury items. There is no shortage of competition. I mean if you're going to use the "I'm not harming Nintendo because it's just $20" then the reverse, taking $20 from Cliffy B. as his company was tanking hardcore after the Lawbreakers flop follows is significant harm. In that sense, taking $20 from people who are already unethically inflating prices and blocking otherwise unlimited information behind a veil of academic elitism is also not comparable. Likewise, pirating Seiken Densetsu 3 has a different connotation from pirating "Picle Ricc" the latter of which is a shoddy asset flip that barely works as a game and is primarily designed to fuck with some Steam algorithms to generate market items and scam the market out of some money and was banned from Steam shortly after its release. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...
