Is there a way to load smash mods without going to loadiine.net? My Wii U has Coldboot Haxchi installed, can I load the mods from the console and SD card directly somehow?
I don't mean that there would be visual differences. There could be silent differences in the code that could communicate with Nintendo telling them that it's a pirated copy and maybe they could log infect your system with some malicious stuff that will trigger in a few months or something...
What if the early eShop leaked version is different than the one on release date and was meant as a bait to catch pirates? It could even contain malicious stuff. lol that would be so damn evil boy.
Guys, what if the early EUR download on Nintendo's server was a bait in order to catch pirates? Maybe the leaked version is different from the one in the eShop on release date. Imagine if it contained malicious dormant stuff.
That would be quite evil.
They couldn't know if people were playing Sun and Moon from early physical copies or downloads too, yet they banned them.
They can know that you played early by looking at the log data when you go back online eventually and they may or may not care about wether it was disc or dl since they...
Nothing prevents them from collecting log data and banning everyone who played early.
It's not like the measures they took with Pokémon Sun and Moon are the max they will ever do.
Unless you're going to keep your Wii U 100% offline all the time from now on, there still is a risk.
There's always a risk that:
1: The game itself communicates to Nintendo's servers that are outside of the DNS scope.
2: The Wii U phones home from time to time and will log play data.
Both of those things and maybe more can lead to a ban later down the lines.
Is it likely? No. But it is a...
You need to install the update obviously. This is the disc version which requires an additional 3GB installed. But you have to find it yourself though.
That's the only reason why I'm not installing the game. I'm not willing to risk my NNID for it. If they can send log data, then they definitely know you were playing it before launch and what's the difference between that and the Pokémon SuMo case? Not much imo.
