I take great joy in shit talking a company while attaching their most profitable IP to said comments knowing they can do fuck all about it.

That sounds like a cope, mister Day of the Cope :smug:

Nintendo sure has gotten litigious recently. First Palworld, then emulators then people even talking about emulation.
I wonder what caused this.

Gee I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with them getting ready to announce a new console which will most likely use the same architecture as their current console that could be easily pirated if the current modders were left unchecked?

Yeah, that's a theory I've seen tossed around. Seems like the most likely option.

Isn't a jinx a word often associated with "bad"? So ryujinx is a subtle advertising campaign for oversized dildos

Ryujin means 'dragon human' in Japanese, so it's for half-dragons, dragonmen, draconians, or whatever you want to call it. The X was just because.

Between all this that has been happening, you guys think Nintendo has completely destroyed their reputation and with it, all hype for the Switch 2?

Game piracy and emulation is still niche
Game piracy and emulation of an actively sold console is even more niche.
To most customers it's no different from Nintendo going after counterfeiters.

Piracy's endgame is that if everyone pirated the game and used emulation, nobody would buy the games and console. And Nintendo would not have financial incentive to make newer games and consoles, so then the pirates would never have anything new to play ever again. Expecting everyone to get upset at Nintendo to protecting itself smacks of breakfast-having.

Not to mention, Nintendo is still technically selling older games on the Switch. Are people forgetting the Nintendo Switch Online and it's legacy games?

Nintendo Switch Online is not really selling me anything though. It's renting me access to games, in many cases games I had previously "bought" on their virtual console service on the Wii. (Oh, and in some cases I had previously bought as cartridges.) Why didn't Nintendo just give me a way to play my Virtual Console games on my Switch when my Wii broke? It's a mystery ($$$).

Meanwhile, with Valve, I can play games from 20 years ago on Steam today. Sometimes I have to tinker with them to get them working and sometimes they just aren't compatible with modern computers, but Valve didn't say, yet, these games are no longer yours.

Basically the console business for years has been:
1. Selling you software
2. Putting that software on some storage format that is incompatible with the average PC, and can only be read with proprietary software that isn't available on the average PC.
3. Acting like you are committing a crime when you make that software compatible with the average PC.
4. Profit.

The MiG Switch Dumper just allows you to read and copy Switch cartridges on a standard PC. It should be no more controversial than an external CD Rom drive. Emulation just makes that software work on your PC, which also shouldn't be an issue. Piracy is just as big a problem for games on Valve or GoG as it is on Switch, and yet they somehow manage without deliberately making their software incompatible with a standard PC.

You simply don't have to buy their games. Though the difference between saying that for Nintendo and for goyslop like Concord is that it seems that Nintendo must be doing something right

That's why I have no qualms about pirating anything to the Wii U/3DS or older. I have a RomM server set up that lets me play all my games from my web browser, with save sync among all my devices

I haven't bought a nintendo game since the original ds, I hate them for being incredibly homosexual about emulation. At least sony doesn't go after emulators like they do (yet, maybe they will when shadps4 starts being able to play bloodborne perfectly).

Now, this sounds like a long time, and some other articles say it's 20 years, but they aren't as durable as Sega Genesis cartridges (as an example I know well).

My Sega Genesis cartridges are mostly around their 30s, and they mostly still work (Phelios stopped working for some reason, and Shadowrun has a bad battery. Most of them have no problems, even the weird Electronic Arts cartridges.). I just used one of these to back them up https://www.tindie.com/products/xdeath/usb-megadrive-genesis-cartridge-readerwriter/#:~:text=MD Dumper is an USB cart

Cartridges from that era which universally consisted of mask ROMs, some 5v TTL logic for bank switching and if you were lucky, extra hardware to do fun things have lasted beyond all commercial expectations. I've found some dead ones too but but they're uncommon enough to be considered statistical outliers that got exposed to edge cases like an excited 8 year old moonwalking on the carpet and touching the cat on a particularly dry day in 1995, causing latent esd damage etc.

Flash based stuff like switch cartridges are a whole other can of worms as anyone has had the fun of going through a drawer of forgotten USB sticks can anticipate. Another anecdote- I've encountered more than one late 90s i440 PC motherboard that was dead or halfway there because of corrupted flash bios roms too. I seriously doubt the longevity of that stuff.
 
I have no issue paying when a company releases something new I like. I'm not paying for media that's 20+ years old, though. That's retarded. Fuck you. If I want to play that shit, I will pirate it. How many times do you honestly expect me to buy Mario 3?

The dock could play discs and sync up with the GanePad, I guess?

I would have been happy if they came up with some kind of system where you got a 15-20% discount on a digital copy of ports of Wii U games you already owned. I bought a lot of Wii U games. The fact that such a large percentage of Switch's output was ports of games I already owned being sold at full price always really chapped my ass.

Sakurai’s YouTube channel will post its last normal video on October 15, followed by a final video at a later date.

It’s at a little over 250 videos right now, and for anyone who hasn’t watched any of them, it’s a valuable and entertaining resource for game dev and the industry, Sakurai’s games in particular, and Sakurai himself. There are probably 50-100 videos that I still haven’t seen, and I definitely plan to go through them.

Not quite

The additional vehicles are just skins for the existing 4 originals, meaning they don't even get the same stats as those 4 in the game they came from.

COMPLETELY fumbled on that. I can't imagine the game being unbalanced by adding 4 actual new vehicles, specially considering the fastest one is also fragile as fuck.
