Long answer: My guy who thinks that Nintendo would manage piracy apps lol.

Short Answer: No.

I'm not sure if mentioning this "shop" for 3DS is allowed here – I've seen it frequently and sometimes it got tolerated when not providing links.

NUS downloaders (like USB helper and NUSspli) obviously depend on the Nintendo servers still being online – which is still the case for DSi and Wii (for some months they went down: pretty eternal "maintenance").
For the foreseeable future these methods will continue to work (they aren't different from re-downloading purchased games).

That strange "not a shop" for 3DS, is a system for distributing pirated Nintendo content without the help of Nintendo servers (the NUS downloading method incorporated by FreeShop isn't possible for 3DS content anymore due to server side security upgrade).

hShop doesn't download content from Nintendo servers so the eShop being online, offline or in maintenance has zero effect on it.

 

[Osakasan]

It will because it doesn't use the Nintendo servers like the other piracy app that was used back then.

But still, the eShop isn't closing down, just not allowing purchases anymore.

There's also an alternative to the Wii U USB helper, just that one only downloads Wii U content.

I wouldn't advise mentioning apps that evolve around piracy, because its against the rules.

 

[CrazyMage]

Piracy will never Die, yeah.

 

[jameshulk4]

No, unless Nintendo takes it down. But don't use it because it's illegal

*Yes it will

It is likely that Nintendo will try to shut it down, but I think it is a good way to preserve digital-only games or titles that would be difficult to find and play without piracy

Not as long as they don't try to profit from it.

People loves to repeat this mantra, but Nintendo has only gone agaisnt rom sites that have earned money with roms in any way (ads, donations or Patreon) wich, in my opinion, is perfectly fair.

Well, it is well known that Nintendo has even shut down charities or other non-profit projects. But I really hope you are right. I really don't know how they deal with this things.

It's simple. Just don't directly profit from it, promote piracy or use their copyrighted trademarks or their assets without permission.

I know what you're talking about. The Etikons would have been spared if they didn't directly use the word Joycon as part of the design, and most cases are like that. Nintendo is really protective of their IPs, keeping the same mentality as in the eighties, it's not right, but legally they can do it, and their criteria is really rigid.

Projects that don't directly use their assets are spared even if a precedent for taking them down exists. Look at the several decompilation projects of their games - Super Mario 64, Ship of Harkinian, Zelda 3... - that still exists because they're smart enough to not provide any single asset of the decompiled games, of wich you must provide a rom that you can acquire and dump legally all by yourself, provided you have the means to do so.

Of course it will! hShop will spend the next decade - hopefully decades! - tea bagging on the corpse of the eShop.
Let's hope that Nintendo keep being dumb and oblivious about it and not juridically harrass the dev team.

Why hasn't this thread been closed yet?

and not juridically harrass the dev team.

They would have every right to do so.

I'm wondering the same thing.

 

[SylverReZ]

Okay, are you one of Nintendo's lawyers?

Yeah, and it would suck, wouldn't it?
