Nintendo Downloaded Super Mario Bros from Internet

Yeah, I saw that video. If Nintendo's really did that, then they have no rights to get so butthurt if people emulate their old games rather than buying them.





I mean, 5$ for fucking SMB on NES? For that price you can get the Crash Bandicoot trilogy on PSN. Now tell me which is the best deal.

One reason I don't like the VC either, some games are priced good, most are not worth it, $5 for a game that can be beat in 10 minutes, big whoop. Not worth it.

SMB *nintendo fanboy intensifies*

Nintendo will probably say, "meh it's our game anyway, be grateful we didn't put a DMCA".
That's crazy how those games editors bitch about something we do and end up doing the same thing or let giganormous flaws, allowing us to do even more things...

Nintendo isn't above the law, what the courts have decided about emulation legality supersedes what Nintendo's fear-mongering FAQ states about emulation. Sony's lawsuits against Bleem! and Connectix oddly enough resulted in favor of emulation by supreme court judges, as it is a derivative work (reverse engineered). Emulators are fair game so long as they don't contain copyrighted code.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

Why? They still own the copyright to the game and presumably have discretion as to the ways they disseminate it.

Because, the way I see it, Nintendo isn't any different from any other person that download roms if they do it too.
I mean, I believe its a ethical case: You want to show your customers you don't do that kind of things, no? Or something like that.




And the price. The price too counts.

 

[BARNWEY]

I've given up on the VC long ago, unofficial emulation is often superior in pretty much every way XD Now that the Wii U can run Snes9x, Nestopia, etc perfectly, heh heh heh

Yeah, same here. The only reason I use GBA VC is because it is the only full-speed GBA emulator on O3DS...

 

[WiiUBricker]

That's a disaster. I will sue them for pirating their own stuff!

With an avatar like that, I highly doubt you would be taken seriously! jk

It's pretty well optimized, I think, but I think it uses DS mode as a compatibility layer, not sure

Meh, couldn't care less about service they don't put any effort in lol

I guess I can agree to that. If Nintendo does not want people to use unauthorised copies of Nintendo intellectual property then Nintendo should probably not use unauthorised copies of Nintendo intellectual property. There is something of a precedent as well https://www.theguardian.com/media/2003/oct/29/tvnews.internationalnews

How do you beat the game in 10 Minutes?

That sums up the world. Sigh. Their game. Their code. Oh noes, it's the work of someone else who dumped it 20+ years ago to distribute on the interwebs for free. Holy hell, people. You all are messed up

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Have you seen speed runs?

That doesn't answer my question, but i have, i saw a week full of it. If you don't know how he does it then please let him answer.

The answer is literally in front of you. You want to be an ass, that's all you.

Well unless he can tell me himself i have no reason to say more. Being disrespectful to someone is unnecessary when i didn't ask you anything but you decided to answer anyway.

Donkey Kong, and I was using hyperbole, some games are not worth 5 dollars.

I see, well i get it now, also i agree, the VC game of Super mario bros is not worth $5, none of them is worth the price is listed... except maybe the wii games.... depending on what they are. But that why i emulate most of my games. Good old fatithful android or pc.

$5 for nes VC games $8 for SNES and GBA games $10 NDS and N64 games and $20 for WII games. (All of them include some exceptions) Not to mention tax as well... Mean while Playstation stores has ps1 games at $6 (Excpet for the square enix ones) PS2 games at $10 and some ps2 games exclusive to ps4 system for $15 with no tax. Also their sales are even better. Still wish both companies had better games to buy on them as well. Wonder why diddy kong racing isn't on VC yet?

This reminds me of the writer Walter Jon Williams. who didn't have his early works in digital format, so when he wanted to publish them as e-books, he downloaded his books from torrents and published that.
He did note that the versions were full of OCR errors and typos, though.

 

[Clydefrosch]

its more like nintendo was somewhat screwed over by members of their vc-development teams.

Yeah, thankfully NERD (Nintendo European Research and Development), will handle the VC with the Switch, at least they know how to write good emulators.
