Nintendo has been actively taking down YouTube videos that feature its games being emulated or modded, which has sparked significant discussion and concern within the gaming community.

On one hand, I don't want to reward their shitty copyright etc. practices, on the other hand Nintendo as a game developer is about the only large studio making finished games anymore and I do want to support that

I've been gradually building up my Switch digital and physical library and stuff like this makes me want to just switch back to Steam and spend my dollar elsewhere.

The strikes are absolutely frivolous and Russ sets a great anti piracy example for others. Backups of your own content are protected.

I'll have to mod a switch purely out of spite.

I'm going to stand by what Retro Game Corps stated that they don't want to advocate for piracy. Lawful backup of your own games is protected. The aggression against Russ and others is uncalled for.

Wait until they go after livestreams

Livestreams are Fair Use in the US because of the gamers reaction and commentary.

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

The same applies to recorded content.

It sucks cause I really like the Mario Kart and Metroid Prime series and was hoping for more 3D metroid games, but there's just so many other good games out there. Especially with Steam and the Steam Deck. I've had every nintendo console and handheld from the NES through the switch, but that'll be my last console now that the steam deck exists and nintendo has become so hostile.

However I do wish there were more devices like the wii sensor and wiimote/nunchuk. I'd rather PC gaming go in that direction than with VR gaming cause I really hate having to move my neck around with VR.

To your credit, Nintendo's golden age is well behind them. Most of the best games they're likely to ever make are already runnable on PC, especially since they've been kinda phoning it in for the last decade or so.

The Wiiimote and Nunchuk combo needs a little tweaking (maybe make the wiimote more like a nunchuk for ergonomics, give it an analog stick for coarse camera movement) but it was the most comfortable controller ever since I could place my hands in different positions relative to one another.

I thought Japan was all about Face. I guess Nintendo is the exception?

So the switch itself emulates older consoles... I could have swore I remember reading something like the anniversary bundle that they put out for a limited edition had a emulator that someone made.

This is what we get because Atari fucked up with E.T.

It's so nice to see all the Nintendo haters. I wonder if they've taken down any of my videos. I've gotten no notifications.
