we learned from our mistakes.
that was back when we were 13.

though i only wished they would have more sales on the switch system with older games such as earthbound or donkey kong country (if that one's still available). only need the critical ones.

I wonder why these sites don't solely try to host ROMS that are lost in copyright limbo. Similar to those sites that host old DOS games for free.

It's hard to feel much sympathy for them when their top download lists are filled with games like Super Mario World.

They did have a long list of games that were off-limits. Mainly currently active series and Nintendo franchises. They weren't hurting anyone.

you can still find any old game you want for emulators you just need to look harder then you used to
nothing will ever fully stop piracy and its a waste of time
though i can understand going after them so much right now because of the super nintendo thing full of roms they put on

its literally just a physical emulator

Everyone has everything for the cartridge based system because it's faster to get it that way rather than getting everything individually.

It's everything disc based that's the actual loss.

Yeah, especially the custom Dreamcast releases that you could pretty much only find there since they were made by some of the users.

Not really, prices on carts have been high as fuck for years now despite all the digital releases. I don't see them spiking up even higher because of this, not to mention it's still easy as fuck to find roms.

I made all of my own backups from my old carts years ago. Got a dedicated hard drive to store them, too.

I vaguely remember there being a purge like this before. All of the sites returned eventually came back under new names, but it's not like I need them.

Is Nintendo extra butthurt because their Switch got hacked up the ass? Well it's looking like the Switch is getting emulated as well. Good. Fuck you, Nintendo. This does nothing to stop piracy because it's still easy as fuck to find an alternate source, but what this could harm is preservation of harder-to-find things (i.e. almost nothing Nintendo has made).

More likely they just saw that the NES/SNES Mini topped the hardware charts recently and are moving to protect their old games. This is also why VC will still be up in the air for the foreseeable future.

It's not necessarily a question of hardware power. The Wii U is more powerful than the PS3 or Xbox 360, yet has pretty damn good emulation already. The Nintendo 64 is old as fuck and still has shoddy emulation.

another good example is that a basic laptop can emulate a playstation 1 easily
but it would struggle to run a nintendo DS

but a basic andriod phone would have a few hiccups while trying to run a playstation 1 emulator
but can run a DS emulator just fine

It really didn't though, they wised up and pretty much anyone who did got banned. They finally got their shit together with 3DS as well though the damage is already well done there lol.

The doesn't make sense. Those topped the charts before any take-downs. Is the assumption that they'd have even higher sales if they made piracy maybe slightly less convenient?
