That’s very interesting. I can’t even think of a game worth doing that for. Not trying to say there isn’t, I just don’t have one off the top of my head

This is very educational, thank you. Just out of curiosity, what has Nintendo done with the 64dd? I thought they had forgotten about it

I have just pulled it up, I haven’t even pressed play yet. 1 hour and 20 minutes? Fucking really? 40 minutes of ads in a 2 hour show. Absolute fucking insanity. I might be misremembering, but I swear it isn’t this bad for SmackDown and NXT

They’ve never sued anyone for playing an emulated game. They have (most likely wrongly) threatened emulator developers over circumventing copyright and encryption. I don’t like it anymore than anybody else, but are we actually mad at a company for preserving their games? You can hate them for what they are doing to others while still being ok with their own emulation

You are right. Sorry for being so snarky. The modding community for the SNES Classic mostly preferred Nintendo’s own emulator, Canoe. I just assumed Nintendo would continue to use it

All we can do is speculate for now. They will never see another dime from me personally. I just don’t see why we are persecuting them for emulation of all things. Be mad they are fucking over other emulator developers, but a company emulating their own games isn’t anything new

Alright. Let me make sure I understand. Since Nintendo protects its IP, it isn’t allowed to use its own IP?

Like, fuck Nintendo, but that doesn’t even make sense

They have literally had their own emulators for so long. At least since the SNES Classic released. It is called Canoe
