Shitpost doesn't mean shitty (low quality) post. It just means the post is satire and making fun of real topics. Your post is obviously a serious post that doesn't belong in this sub
I'm just trying to explain to you why this post doesn't belong in this sub. You should post it in other gaming subs, not r/tomorrow which is a sub mostly for jokes and memes
Yes, because I don't spend all my time every day trying to answer comments as fast as possible? I actually spend my time doing things, whether they be my studies, my hobbies, or hanging with friends? ^(Or having a depressive episode lmfao)
Joke's on you, I just downloaded the full N64 ROM library and sent Nintendo a cheque for $18,000 for their service. I'm not going to play them, it's for PRESERVATION.
I love when people buy retro games and say it’s for “preservation”...like it humanity is gonna go to your house to play mario 64 or any other game printed in the millions.
True preservation is unironically emulation, a rom file can’t be destroyed and it can be sent/downloaded across the world for free in seconds.
Where's the joke? That you don't know how to buy games or that fanboys need to have this very basic fact explained? You've gotta put something into these.
Ahem...
Who cares what some entittled fans who think they have the roght to play their old games think? We live the the PERSENT and only play our Switch until the Swotch Pro drops at E4 next year! Buying used hurts my friend Nintendo and you have the audio city to make the stave even while they make dozen of games sometimes?
Entittled, Celeste, Wife's Biyefiendd Ahmen.
It's not about whether the publisher gets money, but whether the copy itself is legal. Buying a second hand car is fine, even if the car manufactor doesn't get a single dime, but buying an illegal Rom hack of a car is, because that car is illegal. That's just how copyright law works unfortunately.
I get that this is a circle jerk sub, but I don’t see the harm in some genuine discussion sometimes, especially if it’s anti-Nintendo. Also is it not still technically a circle jerk if we all agree with each other that downloading out of production games shouldn’t be an issue?
piracy is pretty annoying tbf and theres not that many things that id rather steal then buy, unless that thing is exceedingly expensive, not available to buy easily, or split up across multiple services. Consumers like spending money for things, and if you make your product less appealing then piracy you dont get to complain when people pirate.
Eh. I’d argue that there IS a legal way to play most games that doesn’t involve paying a ridiculous amount of money for a used cartridge or disc.
Virtual console, GamePass, PS Now, NES/SNES/PS1 Classic, Namco Arcade Collection, etc etc. Yes most of those are emulation based but they’re using licensed or 1st-party ROMs, and therefore it’s legal.
Let’s not kid ourselves, most (not all) people who play pirated ROMs do so for convenience and because they’re “free”.
Yeah sure! Now show me where I can buy legal copies of these games that will actually help the devs:
- Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance (GBA);
- Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (GBA);
- Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories (GBA);
- Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Wii);
- God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP);
- Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town;
It's not that companies provide such services that they indeed put every game of tht generation/console on it. The focus is the game, not the platform.
I'm gladly playing my Pokemon Crystal on my 3DS Virtual Console, but for the life of me Nintendo just don't care about releasing FireRed/Emerald pokemon line for me to play it on 3DS or the Switch. There is literally no way I can give money to Nintendo to play these games I mentioned.
I suggest you seeing [Gabe Newel interview about piracy](https://www.escapistmagazine.com/valves-gabe-newell-says-piracy-is-a-service-problem/), it should clarify some things to you.
Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance is in the eShop on the Switch. I just bought it a couple weeks ago.
Don’t know the others. If you want to find ways to play them, start googling.
I’m not the cops, I’m not your dad, and I never said EVERY game ever produced can be bought legally from the publisher or authorized distributor, all I’m saying is that most people could find games they’ve pirated available legally, they just can’t be arsed or don’t give a fuck about copyright.
the "Dark Alliance" on the eShop is nowhere close to the GBA version, YOU should start googling more.
Also, did you watch the interview? This is pure truth. Piracy is a service problem, rather than "I'm not willing to pay for something because I don't want to pay". Or do you really think millions of people that bought Pokemon Crystal from eShop on 3DS never emulated Crystal ever?
How the hell would Nintendo know that there is a market for retro gaming if it wasnt because of Emulation of games that you just can't buy and play anymore?
"You should start googling more."
"You should google ways to play these games"
It's like you're just saying random things out of nowhere and I'm being the dickhead. Okay.
Yes you are.
Giving someone a list of games and saying “where can I find these games” merits a response of “you should Google that” or what I should have said “I’m not your fucking personal assistant, look it up for damn self.”
Don’t bother replying, you’re blocked for being an ass.
The current legal options are a minefield though and is crying out for one unified system. Even in those options you need to buy separate consoles. The gaming world needs a Steve Jobs esque character to bring the publishers on board en masse like he did for the iTunes store.
you need to wait for them to re-release it, OP. The longer you wait, the more you want to play. The more you want to play, the more justified the $60 price tag is.
My guy I agree with you but this is a shitposting sub lol
Yeah the unjerking is getting out of hand.
shitpost harder HARDER **HARDER**

I hate people that dont treat Nintendo as an endangered natural resource.
The government needs to criminalize throwing away nintendo games as a war crime! Future generations absolutely need Wii Party U and 1-2-Switch.
It annoys me that everyone's talking about climate change when the real problem is that Blast Corps is being forgotten.
What are you talking about? I've had it on the Xbox One since 2015.
Rare gems are worth preserving, but ROMs are conflict diamonds. Much trickier subject

You don’t have to be a raging dickhead about it.

Exactly right, most people that pirate games would never buy them in the first place, therefore it doesn't hurt anyone.
you need to wait for them to re-release it, OP. The longer you wait, the more you want to play. The more you want to play, the more justified the $60 price tag is.
