See all that money the Wii U is making... Piracy is stopping it! There for stopping nintendo!

Nintendo as recently won the right to fight against pirates in a Italian court ruling. Apparently when researching to write this article I found they also got a court ruling to fight against pirates in the U.S I am sure Nintendo is very pleased with these outcomes. However Sellers such as gateway and sky3ds are not so happy my guess would be with this incoming news. As the sellers from the U.S and Italy could face criminal charges. I mean while this is a good thing for Nintendo it is also a bad thing. They will no longer loose money on games but they might *emphasis on might* start loosing money on consoles because why would pirates buy that console if they can get stuff for free? I say that because it did happen before with Sony. So I guess lets see if this plays out how Nintendo thought it would. I am personally pleased. I support Nintendo so I am glad they stopped these pirates I mean by stealing a game your basically stealing $40 from Nintendo. C'mon guys!

I have a ROM of Pokemon Rainbow

I copy it two times on my computer.

I do this a million times.

Now I do this another million times.

How much money did I steal from Nintendo?

$4,000,000 congratulations. Assuming the game was like $2

This console gen is piracy free.
3ds probably will not be saved, but being nx portable probably heavy based on cloud could really be a big hit to easy piracy for parents ,maybe not for people that want pirate things, but easy modes to get piracy probably are gone forever.
Despite any ruling in court Sony Nintendo and ms already won on the tech

Bugger all, anyone who wants your rom wasn't gonna pay Ninty anyway. Shit, you might even make Ninty some money helping more people see and try out Pokemon Rainbow.

Isn't Pokemon Raibow a ROM hack?

Get down from that cloud, be sure to place your feet over solid ground please.

there always was, and there will alway be piracy

It's good to see people with such high morals expressing their views on this site. It's great that Red3agle has never pirated any games themselves nor have they ever bought a used game, never borrowed a game from a friend, or never loaned out any games. They always support Nintendo by purchasing their games brand new or digitally at full price. Good for them!!

"Nintendo is tackling piracy" - More news at 11. /s

Aren't people singling this out? It's not like Nintendo hadn't fought piracy before. They get flashcarts to be illegal in some places, etc. I think people are making a big deal out of an ordinary occasion.

Piracy will happen in one way or another. Eventually you'll be able to play illegal copies of games on a platform. It might be long gone from the market once that happens, but I'm confident someone will keep trying until they appear in a news article like this: "Remember that old and dead handheld, the PS Vita? Someone got backups to work on it. Here's a quick Q&A we had with them..."

BurningDesire · Nov 17, 2015

well 2x1,000,000, is 2,000,000 x one more is oh wait. fuck my math skils

Nintendo would see me dragged away in chains for the one miniscule contribution I've made to the homebrew scene.

Nirmonculus · Nov 17, 2015

Good for Ninty, in any case... still not gonna buy a Wii U.

That's not nice, wanting to see a man dragged away in chains for colorizing a ROM.

Nicely said. Anyone who says Nintendo has the "right" to harm this innocent company is part of the problem. We began freely giving away our rights decades ago, and people just stuck their heads in the sand, just as you see them doing in this very topic.
It hits close to home with me. A very good friend of mine named Nils ran a company called Visoly that marketed development tools for the GBA. Because of Nintendo's scummery, Visoly ended up going under and Nils disappeared. I wish I knew where he went, because I want to know he's doing all right. I want to know he's safe and well. But I don't, because Nintendo and its army of rights-destroying lawyers felt it neccesary to ruin this one company.

hey this reminds me of the story of becky! here's a reminder for those who don't know

Muffins · Nov 17, 2015

Nils is not Taylor Swift.
Unless he had a secret I didn't know about.
He was, on the other hand, nice enough to provide me with several free linkers to assist in an article I was writing about handheld homebrew development.

You can find it if you're smart enough.

Are you?

Then you should be able to find it.

i said "Reminds me of" saying the story is pretty badly written and comes off as unbelievable at best we should get back to subject though
Piracy is bad m'kay?

Muffins · Nov 17, 2015

At best you should stop talking to me, because quite frankly everything you're saying deserves a response that would get me warned.

This site has an ignore button, right?

Think I'm going to try it out. Right now.

*done*

Ahhhh, that felt GOOD. I mean, like awesomely good.
Away with the garbage.
