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

It is a beautiful sight to see

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

So you have access to the PC in the museum?

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

I'm not saying they haven't used others work in the past, but they do have their own emulators and ROMs. They have for a long time. They are still terrible, but this just doesn't seem like a big deal to me

Edit: Also, whose lives have they ruined aside from those profiting off of distributing copyrighted material? Taking down a fan game doesn't sound life ruining

They are at least Nintendo's own in-house emulators. I don't recall the situation with the Classic systems ROMs, but Animal Crossing had the release group signatures if I'm not mistaken. They've been pulling this garbage for a long time

This really isn't that surprising. They used ROMs for the classic games in Animal Crossing. They even had evidence it was from a release group, and not Nintendo's own copies

I really don't understand why this is embarrassing. I don't know the exact setup they have going on. Is it like a kiosk where people can play classic games, or is it a monitor just displaying them? They have their own emulator, Canoe, that they used for the SNES Classic. I don't remember the name of the NES one

Weren't at least some of the games in the Super Mario Collection ROMs? I guess I can see why people would expect a direct port from the company that created it, or original hardware running the original games, but it isn't like Nintendo doesn't already have a track record for this sort of thing

I can't blame you for that. I really feel like he enjoys helping out with NXT though. Maybe he will stay on as a trainer or something when he is done in the ring

Like I said, I never cared for him before, so I don't have any stakes in this. It's just the feeling I get. I know putting faith in him is about as smart as putting faith in Jeff Hardy, but what can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment
