So, clone consoles and knock off retro machines like this have been a thing for decades. no one seemed to care then. hell, a lot of these youtubers even bought them, reviewed them and many get good reviews for what they are from them. Its a bit disingenuous to me that they suddenly pretend to care about the legal or moral side of things now that SouljaBoy is doing it. Call him out for the price, cool, but they're just using this as another clickbait catch to get views on their channels and its really dumb.

And now we've come full circle to the people criticizing Soulja Boy are "disingenuous"

Can't things just be funny? I mean really.

Because most if not all are from China, which has stupid copyright laws. SouljaBoy is making a US company for this, and apparently building stores for it. In the US. Which has much stricter copyright laws, allowing Nintendo to sue his ass.

Yea I get that but these Youtubers pretending to care about Nintendo with regard to that is what Im getting at. Its clearly just an attention grab. I watched one or two videos when this thing was first announced and it was just your basic lol this is dumb ok bye thing. Now every time I go on YouTube I get recommended with new videos from the same people and each additional video they act more and more incedulous and suddenly seem to care about Morals and Nintendo. Just comes off as fake to me.

I mean I'm not gonna pretend to know that much at all about yt reviewers, but I do watch a few and mostly they don't review knock off retro machines like this from what I've seen. On the rare occasion I do, I've never seen them review one positively.

Not saying it doesn't happen, just that it doesn't seem like hypocrisy to me since the sentiment you're talking about doesn't seem prominent.

ofc you're right they're just trying to get views but hey that's their jobs

Most Chinese emulation companies don't also respond to threats of litigation by going on Twitter and literally calling them "f******"

To play devils advocate theyve been ripping into him since day one. Some may say rightfully deserved but of course when he is personally attacked someone like that is going to respond. Do they attack the Chinese companies and say theyre stupid for what theyre doing? Not really they usually just say things like the emulation isnt great and the workmanship is poor but for what it is blah blah blah in all the reviews I see. There is just more money in acting a different way for them because everyone knows Soulja boy. No one knows the owner of some random Chinese company. ThTs all Im saying.

Yes, with some games such as Mario on them.

SB is incredibly stupid if he thinks Nintendo isn't going to take his ass to court.

I would book front row seats for that.

Chances are that Nintendo wont sue this guy. Not at first. Hell get a cease and desist letter first. Then theyll be some kind of legal injunction to block the sells of these things (I believe that happened to a similar product about 15 years ago. It was the one shaped like an N64 controller that was popping up in mall kiosks and grocery stores.) If he still pushes back against all that, THEN Nintendo will sue his ass.

What the the odds he worked out some sort of licensing deal with all of the game publishers?

The first game in the box is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Capcom owns the game code, Mark Schultz owns the IP (he is a rich lazy person that take years responding to anything, good luck getting the rights to use his IP) and the term Cadillacs is owned by a money-hingry company that will most likely charge you angood sum for using it these days. This alone is a licensing nightmare.
Some of the other arcade games includes...
Captain Commando (Capcom)
Street Fighter 2, Champion Edition, Alpha 2, Alpha 3 (Capcom)
Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (Capcom)
Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II (Capcom)
