Emulation and Piracy are two different things. While Nintendo is in their legal right to shut it down, the morality behind emulating old games is complicated and not as Black and White as it's usual portrayed.
Nintendo is like the Disney of video games. For those that forgot or maybe don't remember a time before streaming, Disney used to be in the habit of only selling their classic movies DVD/VHS for limited periods of time, rotating the available selection in and out of their vault. It very much is a means of keeping the audience hungry so they will rush out to buy whatever re-releases Nintendo "generously" makes available.
I think I remember seeing old ads for those in my aunts house. It's nuts to think about today when we can easily buy these movies digitally or get Disney Plus and watch them all.
I'm on the same boat... Why should i buy Nintendo games if they aren't going to sell the games i want? I rather just play indie games since they are more accessible and some are even moddable too...
I just wish Nintendo would send a dmca to somebody who is actually willing to take them to court so that they could be schooled about fair use and a precisent could be set that forces Nintendo to cut their bullshit
Mmmm.... As much as an underdog story would be insane for taking down their bad practices, Nintendo has MASSES of lawyers behind them, and will use every trick in the book to ruin anyone who even attempts to sue them. The only reasons why the Joycon lawsuits succeeded were that the issues were too obvious and it was class action.
The sheer amount of backwards bending mental gymnastics you got to do to pretend they aren't in the right is fucking insane. It's their property, their software, their license. All of it. Hacking a product and using it yo download illegally obtained products is still theft. It's insane to me that people actually get mad at Nintendo for trying to stop people stealing. Just because a property is old doesn't mean it's ok to steal now.
@Billy Bob Bobson uhh, no. Look, Nintendo does own the IP. They are allowed to protect it. Yes, piracy is stealing, but there are you have to realize: modding and emulating are both legal as long as you own the game you are messing with. If Nintendo just asked emulators to find a way to make sure people own the games they are emulating, then this wouldn’t be a problem, but it isn’t what they’re doing. They are shutting the entire thing down, which is not cool and does not follow the law. They also tend to ignore fair use laws a lot of the time, and are striking down things that fans make out of love for their content, which are not a threat to them at all. While fan games are not always fair use, other companies have no problem with them and even hire fan game developers, while Nintendo sends dmca takedowns because they see things made as tributes as threats, which just feels wrong. TLDR: to an extent, Nintendo can protect their IPs, but they go way too far a lot of the time and ignore basic fair use laws. Disagree if you want, but don’t get mad at others for looking at it like this.
Y'know, we used to rent games when I was growing up... Nintendo probably thinks thats what kids still do these days, not understanding that streaming and online distribution has completely killed brick and mortar rental stores. Its why Sony and Microsoft tend not to give that much of a shit over emulation, because they know its money they weren't ever going to make to begin with given it wasn't something they were pursuing. When it comes to Nintendo emulation, most people are just emulating N64-Wii titles. Y'know, games that Nintendo can't and won't really re-release or make available on a regular basis because they're too cheap- i mean because it'd be way too expensive to license a lot of those 2nd and 3rd party titles. Its especially bad if those games don't have other ports that can be used on Playstation or Xbox emulators. Or, y'know, maybe people just wanna play as Link in Soul Calibur II.
I agree with your point here. Nintendo has no desire to make consumers happy. Just keep us desperate to buy their trash re-releases. It’s sad. I stopped buying Nintendo products over a year ago cause I truly believe what you were talking about.
@@yarc9 It’s about HOW that money is made. Nintendo tries to control their market to only be able to buy their new content rather than allowing people to go back to the old.
Nah you did not just direspect Age of calamity like that. But i agree with a lot of what you said. I think it's the constant push that makes emulating Nintendo games such a treat. They can keep shutting things down but eventually, they keep pushing back.
It was just a joke lol. While I do have problems with the games narrative, I think everything else is pretty decent. Also thank you, and you summarized it perfectly!
I've grown a distaste towards how they handle their legacy titles and I'm very thankful for the homebrew community for allowing me to back up my DS / 3DS roms so that I can continue to play them even when my New 3DS XL / old 3DS eventually bites the dust.
Yeah Nintendo has always been the kind of corporation that absolutely hates the idea of competition, and want control more than anything. With the whole Dolphin situation, it wasn't actually a DMCA takedown request. Valve asked Nintendo what they thought of it, Nintendo didn't like it and told Valve, so Valve banned Dolphin. While people think that Nintendo may have something against them using the Wii Common Keys in the system, the reality is that even if it didn't Nintendo would not want Dolphin on Steam because they see the Steam Deck as competition (even though the Steam Deck audience is much smaller). The last thing they want is for emulation on the deck or PC to become even more convenient/easy than it already is. However, because it wasn't a formal DMCA takedown request, the Dolphin Devs can't counterclaim it, but on the other hand are basically free to carry on as usual off steam. Also, people are acting like Dolphin is unique in this instance, saying how Retroarch didn't include the common key, but it's in the dolphin core for retroarch, so Dolphin is definitely not unique in that regard. If possible, they should probably require the user to get it from their keys bin file, but it should also be noted that the concept of an illegal number doesn't have much legal precedent either way. Nobody knows for certain if Nintendo could take down Dolphin due to the common key or not because the court cases are few and between for this kind of situation. And it should be noted that if the key is a problem, it could be seen as just as problematic whether it is bundled or not. And we already know what Nintendo thinks of users dumping their own keys based on the fact they sent a DMCA takedown request over Lockpick RCM. In general, I don't think Nintendo will ever be okay with emulation, even if you can prove you got the rom/iso legitimately. Nintendo at the end of the day sees their old content as competition for their newer content. They know that if they sold their old roms for a fair price, that many might just play those. So when Nintendo does port old content or make it accessible, they like to price it high so people will consider buying the new content first, and they do the bare minimum so the old content basically prints money. As a result they see emulation as compettion because emulators provide way more benefits to the users, which raises the standards of players. They want people to be limited so they have to buy what Nintendo puts out regardless of the state Nintendo puts it out in and that's harder to do if people have a higher baseline to compare it to. Nintendo might eventually put gamecube or wii games on NSO and people are going to notice the paltry selection and low quality of the emulation compared to what they get from Dolphin. Nintendo ultimately knows they can't actually stop people from emulating those old games, but rather than putting out an effort and service that can convince somebody to buy all of their old games again or pay for the service, Nintendo would probably always choose to just try to complain and try to cry to companies like Microsoft and Valve to do something for them as that takes no effort, and might keep some people in the dark about Dolphin and the like existing. Even less grey things like modding get them angry. They see somebody modding in Shek into BOTW the same as somebody who pirates BOTW. Same as somebody who emulates their original copy of the game. At the end of the day, they have just as much problem with emulation or modding as they do piracy. They don't want people to play old games legitimately either, they want you buying their new games. This is the same company that pushed for renting to become illegal in Japan (and they succeeded). If they had the power, they would give all of their games an expiry date, and/or ban the used game market.
Both piracy and emulation are perfectly fine to do especially considering a lot of These big AAA Companies Use scummy Micro transactions, as well as Psychological manipulation Tactics such as Fomo(fear of missing out) and Anchoring for monetary gain.
There's a reason why first party Nintendo Switch games don't lower their prices. Nintendo thinks people having easy access to their games might lower the value of their I.P.'s. And it doesn't any easier than just typing in the name of the game in a search bar.
The bad emulation quality for switch online really only applies to the N64. The other consoles actually have really well done emulators. Heck, the SNES app even uses rollback net code, which most switch games don't use.
You know what, that's a pretty fair argument I hadn't considered. The other emulators they offer are pretty decent, I just don't personally think they are onpar with fan made ones. If you disagree I get it though!
In addition, recently even the n64 emulator began to work better in NSO, BUT for me personally, this is not the main problem of NSO, namely, a small number of games, we still don’t even have Mario RPG demolished and classic Pokemon with GB and GBA , while games are added to the NSO almost always once a month, which is very small, given that there were initially few games from the start of the subscription, this is what upsets me more
The Snes and Nes emulators still laggy more online than playing through an emulator that supports online on pc, it has no cheats, which in older games are really fun, way less features overall, you can even change palletes to however you want on Nes and Snes emulators on PC, which is cool.
Is anyone else annoyed by the attitude among most software developers today that the almighty Github is the only place that their projects can be hosted? "Oh no, Nintendo DMCAed my project off Github! I guess I have no other option than to just completely abandon it! Sorry guys, I don't have a choice in the matter. Github took it down, so that means it's dead."
virtual console was promising, including the other console that they didn´t get international release (turbograph 16, msx); but fells odd that the new nintendo CEO is a former CEO one of EA that does the same aggresive things over piracy (like the entire games with secuROM DRM).
Used games are infinitely worse than piracy. At least with piracy, nobody gets any money. With used games, the seller gets money. Nintendo does not get money from either method.
Yeah, I just pirate nintendo stuff out of principle now. I mainly feel bad for nintnedo's die-hard fans, though. I swear, a nintnedo executive could get exposed for rape, people would talk about for two weeks, promptly forget about it, and spend 80$ on replacement joycons.
That's the way the world is it feels like. Corporations or rich people can do terrible things and just get away with it because they have large amounts of money.
@@Mosoman1011Iwata was a good man. I never grew up in the wii - wii u generation, but I can tell he was a genuine guy. He thought of ways to please everybody. In a speech he gave when the wii launched, he said that the virtual console was to provide a way for new players to play nintendo’s and sega’s classics without any hassle. The wii is the best nintendo console in my honest opinion. I play it and my new nintendo 2ds more than the switch. The switch feels overly corporate and lifeless. I hope nintendo makes the switch 2 feel lively and fleshed out.
I regret not taking action regarding my past addiction to Nintendo games. In hindsight, I've come to realize that I may have had a legal basis to pursue a lawsuit against Nintendo. Their video games played a significant role in my addiction and had a detrimental impact on my life. My struggle with video game addiction was so severe that I had to seek professional help and undergo rehabilitation.
Eh, the Wii U doesn't actually make the game HD. It just outputs a 1080p signal, but the game itself is still running at 480p. If it didn't output at 1080p, your tv would just stretch aka upscale it to 1080p itself. Furthermore, the Wii U output has been noted to be pretty bad compared to the Wii's output, mainly colors aren't as vibrant. Lastly, running the HD version or even the gamecube version in Nintendon't would allow you to play using the gamepad for the controls and screen (at 480p, sure, but it should look pretty good on the smaller screen).
@@AlbedoAtoned I mean if you can mod your Wii U then yeah you don't really need to go for the cheaper alternative, I will say the Wii's standard output looks awful though, it's clearly meant for CRTs and playing it on a HDTV makes text borderline unreadable due to how blurry it is, unmodded, the Wii U is a massive improvement.
@@GenghisConnThr333 Well, of course the Wii was designed with CRTs in mind, but the Wii U won't make Wii or gamecube games look any better on an HDTV because even though the Wii U was made for HDTVs it runs the games at the same resolution as it would on a Wii. But the irony is the blurriness you are describing is not fixed by playing on a Wii U. Whether you are comparing a Wii Component and Wii U component or Wii Component to Wii U HDMI output, the Wii U is well known to increase the blur. Whether it is a Wii or a Wii U, games have a deflicker filter applied, which makes the image quality look blurry. Homebrew can allow you to disable this filter, but on an unmodded system you cannot do anything about it. On a Wii U however, there are additional issues that make the problem worse though. The Wii U does not properly upscale the output so there tends to be black borders surrounding the output and the aspect ratio can get wonky. The other issue with the Wii U is that it only supports limited range RGB, and if your tv is set to full range, it will make colors look washed out.. A wii with an HDMI mod would look best because those hdmii mods tend to support full range rgb. There's a good video about this by Good Vibes Gaming that goes over this very subject showing the issues directly. It's called "Wii U's a Downgrade for Playing Wii Games".
@@AlbedoAtoned Yeah but the problem is with the good vibes video is that he's talking about modded systems and outputs, if you're so inclined, Dolphin on PC is better than both.
Every Nintendo switch ad ever: Nintendo switch my way to play Me: So i can play using mods and emulators Nin: no we dont really allow that Me: but thats my way to play. Why am i not allowed?
I mean, Dolphin shouldn't have included the still-copyrighted keys in their code. And if they knew they were going to Steam, they should have removed those keys. They shot themselves in the foot here.
I actually can see the logic behind this statement. Dolphin really shouldn't have tried to release Dolphin on Steam without carefully looking through all the code. It doesn't make what Nintendo did morally correct, but I agree that they should have been more careful. I just feel like it doesn't detract from the overall message of my video though.
that was a point I was trying to make in a comparison between sega vs nintendo. while shutting down emulation and roms online is scummy, in a way, having that stuff there to begin with ends up giving a competitor to their games/re-releases. why buy the offical port/remaster/game when the emulated/pirated version is simply better, or produce better games than the main company? exactly. most people eat up nintendo's stuff because no one else can get away with making their own nintendo games, so with nothing to compare them to, they think it's great. now while sonic's games aren't usually as consistently good (objectively speaking), they have a TON of sonic fan games, and some are honeslty really good, which presents the issue of "why buy official sonic games when these fanmade ones are simpy better", or see than the fans can do a better job than the company, so people decide to call the offical games bad. while it is scummy behavior on nintendo to do stuff like that for the reason you said, from a neutral business perspective, this actually makes a bit of sense. granted to can push away fans, but most people (especially the casual audience) simply don't have the technical knowhow to emulate game, or know that you can, with the newer the game, the hardre it is to emulate.
it's so stupid because in the US and the UK emulation is legal, but nintendo is trying to clamp down on it outside of Japan, where it isn't, which is dumb. A multi billion corporation aren't above the laws of other countries.
Microsoft is quietly killing off backwatds compat again :(they're removing all digital 360 titles from the store soon and getting the typical consumer used to all digital consoles with rental setvices with game pass and the series s. I own a series s snd stopped buying titles because of game pass, but for years I've been worried it will be like netflix and start getting less valuable and more expensive.
This is why xbox sucks that and the xbox one controversy if that happened today some people wouldn't care. I would say try and backup your xbox library but if it's on gamepass idk if you can back it up. Honestly i think that since Nintendo was successful in shutting down the eshop. Microsoft sees that and wants to do it as well unfortunately. Edit: after all the gaming industry and media in general is going the route of owning nothing and be "happy" because they wanna make people's lives more miserable. It's a sad reality. Sorry for long paragraph.
If Nintendo ever tried to DMCA me for using Mario (even though I'm not really trying to use him that much), I'd delete my channel and recreate it with Mario included still. So basically I won't go down easily. Nintendo can't make me change my life forever. Who gives a shit anymore anyway?
Do you people ever stop crying about nothing? Nintendo isn't stopping people from buying original hardware and playing games normally. Also, you don't have a right to preserve other people's art. If you want to preserve games, do it the same way museums do open up a retro gaming store and let people play the games you own
I actually believe that Nintendo has copies of every retail game that was released in a digital format since everyone had to go through Nintendo to sell on the Famicom et all. They would have had the physical versions at least. They don’t distribute them obviously without permission. But I think they do have copies in archive

Dolphin was rightfully taken down for having actual Nintendo keys aka stealing their code, when every other emulator doesn't do it and covers their asses right
@@Nobody_Shroom they have no way of knowing which users have legal copies. And in any case, that'd be under the consumer's responsibility, not the emulator.
@@MorganEdgy I agree with you, but nintendo took down the ability to do so. Also, yuzu was making money through a patreon, so that's probably another reason nintendo went for them.
only way i will give nintendo any more money and buy a switch is when they do a full remaster of golden eye and the original perfect dark, but we know that won't happen.
Nintendo restricting access to games people want to play or only allowing it through a subscription encourages piracy. If the modern "legit" way to play means you don't own games, normalising having a library on an SD card makes a ROM library a short hop, skip and jump to piracy and not owning the games regardless. The real dream and giving back to the fans would be: once you finish a game on NSO, the game is permanently added to your library. A true achievement point that is worth something. Even if people used glitches and cheats, they'd still be paying. As the Switch lifecycle comes to an end and 1st party sales aren't threatened by a back catalog, it'd be a heck of a way to go out. Without some kind of incentive, the market for handheld emulators should become a legitimate threat to Nintendo, if and when they become just as user friendly.
100% agreed. The more Nintendo continued to mistreat their community, the more the community will be pushed away from Nintendo. How they don't understand this simple fact is beyond me.
@@Mosoman1011 They understand it, they just don't give a shit, They're too large to fail and the naive half of their customer base is too blinded by their faith in them to ever see them for what they are. No matter how pissed off people get at them, they're still making money and they'll keep making money. These suits don't listen to anything unless it affects their bottom line.
In my opinion, I believe Nintendo hates emulation is because they want to make sure people are motivated to buy their games when made available. And if they don’t make the games available, oh well. -\😏/- *Shruging smerk
Nintendo a billion dollar company thinks that they are high and mighty and ruins emulation for everyone that's my definition of pyriting sorry for the typo.
AHHHHH I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT! Sorry. I'll make sure to keep it in mind moving forward, there's unfortunately not much I can do about it now.
Were I live is close to inposible to find legal copies of ps2 cause everyone had a chiped ps2 to run pirated games, so imagine how hard is to find older titles
Modded consoles ain't illegal (unless you're in Japan). Go for it, mods are fun. That said, I did get an unmodded PS2 like a year and a half ago. Wanted to play AC04 and emulating it had some issues at the time.
Yuzu allows piracy of games that are still being sold. The devs are still making money off the games. I feel like the shutdown of citra is a better example
I wouldn't be surprised if they pursue it in part for political reasons. Specifically Japanese politics. It's been a long time thing that Nintendo lobbies the government there to make stricter and harsher laws around emulation and modifying games and systems.
They don't care about piracy? Yeah, that's why they shut down ROM sites while refusing to sell us the games they don't want us to pirate. Other than selling subscriptions to the NSO, which still doesn't have some of the most popular games in existence on them. Pokemon. They shut down the 3DS store and still haven't put them on the NSO. I have the original 3 games, but if someone in my city wanted to buy a copy of Red from Power Up Gaming, it would cost them $109.95. And that's just the cartridge. They sell copies in the box for $450. Nintendo would rather you pay them for that than get a ROM from the internet and play it on an emulator.
@Mosoman1011 prime 2 and prime 3 too, where are they Nintendo? Where are they? Don't you want my F* money Nintendo? Where are they? Where is prime 4 Nintendo? Please give me something! I'm not even asking for mother or golden sun... 😭😭😭😭
@Mosoman1011: Remember the last Nintendo switch update with the new console where gameboy/gameboy collor and GBA for the expension pack, and that was in Feburary this year, the reason they might be takeing down dolphin emulator and the 3DS hacks, this could mean Nintendo Game cube nintendo switch online could be comming this fall, if they considered a seperated upgrade to the hand held upgrade, meaning if this is truth the next hand held upgrade could be next Feburary or near that time on the Nintendo switch online, or it could be this instead Game cube game remaster since Game cube is the only one that did not have a virtual console to have it permanitly as an off line software, and they might change thing and do both, if you like the game when playing in Nintendo switch online, then you go and buy it for real. Remember does are just guessing from me, if it turn out to be truth it is a lucky guess on my part.
I've got some problems about people criticizing Nintendo, If you blame the entire company as a whole then you're also dragging in the developers and the employees as well, considering the fact they have absolutely nothing to do with the DMCA legal team in Japan. I've also seen some ungrateful complainers weaponize lwata's death, harass and attack anyone for enjoying tears of the kingdom and owning a Nintendo switch, supporting a disgusting smash community with a bunch of 35-year-old neck beards who are p3dos and pr3dators behind the scenes, bomb threat Nintendo HQ over Gary Bowser and send Sakurai death threats over DLC. As a Nintendo fan of my own, I do admit Nintendo does have some flaws but sometimes it could be our fault as well.
They're wasting money. They could just steal the fan made emulators, rip the roma from the websites, and create an entire line of OFFICIAL Nintendo retro handhelds like the 3rd party companies and they would make so much money they wouldnt know what to do with. Especially if it has HDMI ports for portable plug n play goodness. Of course im talking about the AYN Odin Pro, theres no reason Nintendo cant make an OFFICIAL product with their OFFICIAL licenses but they grown very allergic to smart business moves.
The Oracle games should be coming to the Online service eventually. Twilight Princess and Wind Waker need ports and knowing Nintendo, they will be separate releases at about 60-70 bucks each. Skyward Sword is proof of that.
The oracle games should get remakes instead. I'm not gonna waste money for an F tier subscription service for GBC games that I can run randomized on literally every console I own except for my Xbox.

About the jailbreaking joke at the end, the Luma3DS team got a new method up in less than 24hrs💀
Y'know, we used to rent games when I was growing up...
Nintendo probably thinks thats what kids still do these days, not understanding that streaming and online distribution has completely killed brick and mortar rental stores. Its why Sony and Microsoft tend not to give that much of a shit over emulation, because they know its money they weren't ever going to make to begin with given it wasn't something they were pursuing.
When it comes to Nintendo emulation, most people are just emulating N64-Wii titles. Y'know, games that Nintendo can't and won't really re-release or make available on a regular basis because they're too cheap- i mean because it'd be way too expensive to license a lot of those 2nd and 3rd party titles. Its especially bad if those games don't have other ports that can be used on Playstation or Xbox emulators. Or, y'know, maybe people just wanna play as Link in Soul Calibur II.
'You will own nothing and be happy.'-WEF
I agree with your point here. Nintendo has no desire to make consumers happy. Just keep us desperate to buy their trash re-releases. It’s sad. I stopped buying Nintendo products over a year ago cause I truly believe what you were talking about.
so like any author game company they want money that basically it
@@yarc9 yes just like everyone that creates content for a living
@@yarc9 It’s about HOW that money is made. Nintendo tries to control their market to only be able to buy their new content rather than allowing people to go back to the old.
@@ihavepissinmybrain didn’t they rerelease their older games all the time
@@yarc9 no they dont the fuck?
Bro the step up in quality is crazy so proud of u!!
Thank you so much man!
Nah you did not just direspect Age of calamity like that. But i agree with a lot of what you said. I think it's the constant push that makes emulating Nintendo games such a treat. They can keep shutting things down but eventually, they keep pushing back.
It was just a joke lol. While I do have problems with the games narrative, I think everything else is pretty decent.
Also thank you, and you summarized it perfectly!
It's because of the atrocious frame drops.
Buying games now a days is like nfts you buy ideas and you “own” a concept that is out of your control
I personally buy physical whenever possible, lol
They want you to rent their games, Nintendo indeed hates emulation.
I wish Nintendo could bring back virtual console, that is an absolutely amazing way to play older games. (Plus it's really cheap)
Me too man....
Me too...
@@Mosoman1011 *@Nathan Withrow*
*_*I KNOW...*_* right...?!
6:11 this right here proves your point. They dont hate emulation, they just want you to use their own emulation methods on their own time.
I've grown a distaste towards how they handle their legacy titles and I'm very thankful for the homebrew community for allowing me to back up my DS / 3DS roms so that I can continue to play them even when my New 3DS XL / old 3DS eventually bites the dust.
nintendo ninja did care about piracy roms
I wouldn't say Nintendo is bad with preserving their games, the Gigaleak showed that. They just don't make it available.
Yeah Nintendo has always been the kind of corporation that absolutely hates the idea of competition, and want control more than anything.
With the whole Dolphin situation, it wasn't actually a DMCA takedown request. Valve asked Nintendo what they thought of it, Nintendo didn't like it and told Valve, so Valve banned Dolphin. While people think that Nintendo may have something against them using the Wii Common Keys in the system, the reality is that even if it didn't Nintendo would not want Dolphin on Steam because they see the Steam Deck as competition (even though the Steam Deck audience is much smaller). The last thing they want is for emulation on the deck or PC to become even more convenient/easy than it already is. However, because it wasn't a formal DMCA takedown request, the Dolphin Devs can't counterclaim it, but on the other hand are basically free to carry on as usual off steam.
Also, people are acting like Dolphin is unique in this instance, saying how Retroarch didn't include the common key, but it's in the dolphin core for retroarch, so Dolphin is definitely not unique in that regard. If possible, they should probably require the user to get it from their keys bin file, but it should also be noted that the concept of an illegal number doesn't have much legal precedent either way. Nobody knows for certain if Nintendo could take down Dolphin due to the common key or not because the court cases are few and between for this kind of situation. And it should be noted that if the key is a problem, it could be seen as just as problematic whether it is bundled or not. And we already know what Nintendo thinks of users dumping their own keys based on the fact they sent a DMCA takedown request over Lockpick RCM.
In general, I don't think Nintendo will ever be okay with emulation, even if you can prove you got the rom/iso legitimately. Nintendo at the end of the day sees their old content as competition for their newer content. They know that if they sold their old roms for a fair price, that many might just play those. So when Nintendo does port old content or make it accessible, they like to price it high so people will consider buying the new content first, and they do the bare minimum so the old content basically prints money. As a result they see emulation as compettion because emulators provide way more benefits to the users, which raises the standards of players. They want people to be limited so they have to buy what Nintendo puts out regardless of the state Nintendo puts it out in and that's harder to do if people have a higher baseline to compare it to.
Nintendo might eventually put gamecube or wii games on NSO and people are going to notice the paltry selection and low quality of the emulation compared to what they get from Dolphin. Nintendo ultimately knows they can't actually stop people from emulating those old games, but rather than putting out an effort and service that can convince somebody to buy all of their old games again or pay for the service, Nintendo would probably always choose to just try to complain and try to cry to companies like Microsoft and Valve to do something for them as that takes no effort, and might keep some people in the dark about Dolphin and the like existing.
Even less grey things like modding get them angry. They see somebody modding in Shek into BOTW the same as somebody who pirates BOTW. Same as somebody who emulates their original copy of the game. At the end of the day, they have just as much problem with emulation or modding as they do piracy. They don't want people to play old games legitimately either, they want you buying their new games. This is the same company that pushed for renting to become illegal in Japan (and they succeeded). If they had the power, they would give all of their games an expiry date, and/or ban the used game market.
What a great comment clearing things up! Thank you!
About the expiry date part, I feel like there starting to dip their toes into that with the laughable lifespan of the flash of 3ds carts.
ZELDA IS LITERALLY WHY I HOMEBREWED MY WII U!! I already own 70% of the zelda games, and with cfw on my wii u i can play the other 30!
I modded my 3ds because why not
I don't know why nobody is talking about this but the reason they took it down is because dolphin had illegal keys in it since the 3.0.
Emulating Nintendo game will always be morally correct
Agreed, (if you can't get the game through other means) If only it was legal lol.
@@Mosoman1011Even then no one really comes after you
Both piracy and emulation are perfectly fine to do especially considering a lot of These big AAA Companies Use scummy Micro transactions, as well as Psychological manipulation Tactics such as Fomo(fear of missing out) and Anchoring for monetary gain.
There's a reason why first party Nintendo Switch games don't lower their prices.
Nintendo thinks people having easy access to their games might lower the value of their I.P.'s.
And it doesn't any easier than just typing in the name of the game in a search bar.
when is nintendo going to realise that the harder the clamp down, the more people are going to work around it.
They think they are protecting their ips
if nintendo could they could come to your house and break all your non current hardware and software infront of you
theyd also shoot my dog then tell me to play nintendogs instead
@@Mosoman1011 no doubt
The bad emulation quality for switch online really only applies to the N64. The other consoles actually have really well done emulators. Heck, the SNES app even uses rollback net code, which most switch games don't use.
You know what, that's a pretty fair argument I hadn't considered. The other emulators they offer are pretty decent, I just don't personally think they are onpar with fan made ones. If you disagree I get it though!
In addition, recently even the n64 emulator began to work better in NSO, BUT for me personally, this is not the main problem of NSO, namely, a small number of games, we still don’t even have Mario RPG demolished and classic Pokemon with GB and GBA , while games are added to the NSO almost always once a month, which is very small, given that there were initially few games from the start of the subscription, this is what upsets me more
The Snes and Nes emulators still laggy more online than playing through an emulator that supports online on pc, it has no cheats, which in older games are really fun, way less features overall, you can even change palletes to however you want on Nes and Snes emulators on PC, which is cool.
Is anyone else annoyed by the attitude among most software developers today that the almighty Github is the only place that their projects can be hosted? "Oh no, Nintendo DMCAed my project off Github! I guess I have no other option than to just completely abandon it! Sorry guys, I don't have a choice in the matter. Github took it down, so that means it's dead."
Also, I think that if they rehost the project somewhere else and continue it, that would be grounds for Nintendo to issue a lawsuit.
@regis_c you can, in fact, rehost the project in other places,take eaglercraft as a example,It was hosted on GitHub,then on GitLab,then on Gitea
virtual console was promising, including the other console that they didn´t get international release (turbograph 16, msx); but fells odd that the new nintendo CEO is a former CEO one of EA that does the same aggresive things over piracy (like the entire games with secuROM DRM).
Really Underrated video and channel,keep grinding man,the quality on these are amazing
Thanks dude!
Used games are infinitely worse than piracy.
At least with piracy, nobody gets any money.
With used games, the seller gets money.
Nintendo does not get money from either method.
And yet they make a big fuss about it and Nintendo doesn't even want you dumping your own OWNED copy from your disc which is real picky if you ask me
Yeah, I just pirate nintendo stuff out of principle now. I mainly feel bad for nintnedo's die-hard fans, though. I swear, a nintnedo executive could get exposed for rape, people would talk about for two weeks, promptly forget about it, and spend 80$ on replacement joycons.
That's the way the world is it feels like. Corporations or rich people can do terrible things and just get away with it because they have large amounts of money.
None rich people are much better because at least we know life does not circle around us
RIP virtual consoles
How nice of Nintendo to so actively promote piracy and emulation!
I hope more gaming companies tries to just sell the roms.

@@Mosoman1011Iwata was a good man. I never grew up in the wii - wii u generation, but I can tell he was a genuine guy. He thought of ways to please everybody. In a speech he gave when the wii launched, he said that the virtual console was to provide a way for new players to play nintendo’s and sega’s classics without any hassle. The wii is the best nintendo console in my honest opinion. I play it and my new nintendo 2ds more than the switch. The switch feels overly corporate and lifeless. I hope nintendo makes the switch 2 feel lively and fleshed out.
I regret not taking action regarding my past addiction to Nintendo games. In hindsight, I've come to realize that I may have had a legal basis to pursue a lawsuit against Nintendo. Their video games played a significant role in my addiction and had a detrimental impact on my life. My struggle with video game addiction was so severe that I had to seek professional help and undergo rehabilitation.
You could always just play the Wii version of TP if you don't mind waggle, it's dirt cheap and the Wii U even upscales it to HD.
I've considered it honestly, maybe soon :P Playing through Zero Mission right now!
Eh, the Wii U doesn't actually make the game HD. It just outputs a 1080p signal, but the game itself is still running at 480p. If it didn't output at 1080p, your tv would just stretch aka upscale it to 1080p itself. Furthermore, the Wii U output has been noted to be pretty bad compared to the Wii's output, mainly colors aren't as vibrant. Lastly, running the HD version or even the gamecube version in Nintendon't would allow you to play using the gamepad for the controls and screen (at 480p, sure, but it should look pretty good on the smaller screen).
@@AlbedoAtoned I mean if you can mod your Wii U then yeah you don't really need to go for the cheaper alternative, I will say the Wii's standard output looks awful though, it's clearly meant for CRTs and playing it on a HDTV makes text borderline unreadable due to how blurry it is, unmodded, the Wii U is a massive improvement.
@@GenghisConnThr333 Well, of course the Wii was designed with CRTs in mind, but the Wii U won't make Wii or gamecube games look any better on an HDTV because even though the Wii U was made for HDTVs it runs the games at the same resolution as it would on a Wii. But the irony is the blurriness you are describing is not fixed by playing on a Wii U.
Whether you are comparing a Wii Component and Wii U component or Wii Component to Wii U HDMI output, the Wii U is well known to increase the blur. Whether it is a Wii or a Wii U, games have a deflicker filter applied, which makes the image quality look blurry. Homebrew can allow you to disable this filter, but on an unmodded system you cannot do anything about it.
On a Wii U however, there are additional issues that make the problem worse though. The Wii U does not properly upscale the output so there tends to be black borders surrounding the output and the aspect ratio can get wonky.
The other issue with the Wii U is that it only supports limited range RGB, and if your tv is set to full range, it will make colors look washed out.. A wii with an HDMI mod would look best because those hdmii mods tend to support full range rgb.
There's a good video about this by Good Vibes Gaming that goes over this very subject showing the issues directly. It's called "Wii U's a Downgrade for Playing Wii Games".
@@AlbedoAtoned Yeah but the problem is with the good vibes video is that he's talking about modded systems and outputs, if you're so inclined, Dolphin on PC is better than both.

@@АлександрТерехов-ж3й I know but Nintendo seems more against them than any other company
I mean, Dolphin shouldn't have included the still-copyrighted keys in their code.
And if they knew they were going to Steam, they should have removed those keys. They shot themselves in the foot here.
I actually can see the logic behind this statement.
Dolphin really shouldn't have tried to release Dolphin on Steam without carefully looking through all the code. It doesn't make what Nintendo did morally correct, but I agree that they should have been more careful. I just feel like it doesn't detract from the overall message of my video though.
@@Mosoman1011Dolphin shouldn't have tried to go on Steam AT ALL. There's a reason why ALL emulators must stay in the underground scene.
that was a point I was trying to make in a comparison between sega vs nintendo. while shutting down emulation and roms online is scummy, in a way, having that stuff there to begin with ends up giving a competitor to their games/re-releases. why buy the offical port/remaster/game when the emulated/pirated version is simply better, or produce better games than the main company? exactly. most people eat up nintendo's stuff because no one else can get away with making their own nintendo games, so with nothing to compare them to, they think it's great. now while sonic's games aren't usually as consistently good (objectively speaking), they have a TON of sonic fan games, and some are honeslty really good, which presents the issue of "why buy official sonic games when these fanmade ones are simpy better", or see than the fans can do a better job than the company, so people decide to call the offical games bad.
while it is scummy behavior on nintendo to do stuff like that for the reason you said, from a neutral business perspective, this actually makes a bit of sense. granted to can push away fans, but most people (especially the casual audience) simply don't have the technical knowhow to emulate game, or know that you can, with the newer the game, the hardre it is to emulate.
I feel like me adding nintendo content on my channel is a risk in of itself
it's so stupid because in the US and the UK emulation is legal, but nintendo is trying to clamp down on it outside of Japan, where it isn't, which is dumb. A multi billion corporation aren't above the laws of other countries.
Emulation is legal but ROMS are illegal even though they don't even go after you and honestly most companies don't care and let it slide
If you were one of the people who bought a Wii U, you'd have already bought all the games on its eShop.
Ye made me jump, bro. Don't do that.

IM SO GLAD I DIDNT UPDATE MY 3DS.
why does nintendo manage to take down vimms in the first place
Tried to get my grandkids to play some Nintendo titles...yeah they weren't having it. They lasted about 45 minutes before they were done with Nintendo
Microsoft is quietly killing off backwatds compat again :(they're removing all digital 360 titles from the store soon and getting the typical consumer used to all digital consoles with rental setvices with game pass and the series s.
I own a series s snd stopped buying titles because of game pass, but for years I've been worried it will be like netflix and start getting less valuable and more expensive.
This is why xbox sucks that and the xbox one controversy if that happened today some people wouldn't care. I would say try and backup your xbox library but if it's on gamepass idk if you can back it up. Honestly i think that since Nintendo was successful in shutting down the eshop. Microsoft sees that and wants to do it as well unfortunately. Edit: after all the gaming industry and media in general is going the route of owning nothing and be "happy" because they wanna make people's lives more miserable. It's a sad reality. Sorry for long paragraph.
I am so thankful for the homebrew community! And without it, so many Wii, Wii U, 3DS, and DSi games would become lost media.
Honestly Nintendo should just sell these old games as like the uncompressed ROMs and maybe even release the BIOSs for the consoles
If Nintendo ever tried to DMCA me for using Mario (even though I'm not really trying to use him that much), I'd delete my channel and recreate it with Mario included still. So basically I won't go down easily. Nintendo can't make me change my life forever. Who gives a shit anymore anyway?
don't tempt them lol.
@@Mosoman1011 I don't count on it
They definitely do care about Piracy. I also recently completed Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion on NSO. Never got a chance to play those before.
Do you people ever stop crying about nothing? Nintendo isn't stopping people from buying original hardware and playing games normally. Also, you don't have a right to preserve other people's art. If you want to preserve games, do it the same way museums do open up a retro gaming store and let people play the games you own
I actually believe that Nintendo has copies of every retail game that was released in a digital format since everyone had to go through Nintendo to sell on the Famicom et all. They would have had the physical versions at least.
They don’t distribute them obviously without permission. But I think they do have copies in archive
As we all know, the original hardware is invincible and will never ever fail or break down in any way /s

clearly they dont care about profits either. because it's better to have hundreds of people buying a game for 20$ than zero people buying it for $60+
man what a cool video
Nintendo restricting access to games people want to play or only allowing it through a subscription encourages piracy. If the modern "legit" way to play means you don't own games, normalising having a library on an SD card makes a ROM library a short hop, skip and jump to piracy and not owning the games regardless.
The real dream and giving back to the fans would be: once you finish a game on NSO, the game is permanently added to your library. A true achievement point that is worth something. Even if people used glitches and cheats, they'd still be paying.
As the Switch lifecycle comes to an end and 1st party sales aren't threatened by a back catalog, it'd be a heck of a way to go out. Without some kind of incentive, the market for handheld emulators should become a legitimate threat to Nintendo, if and when they become just as user friendly.
100% agreed.
The more Nintendo continued to mistreat their community, the more the community will be pushed away from Nintendo. How they don't understand this simple fact is beyond me.
@@Mosoman1011 They understand it, they just don't give a shit, They're too large to fail and the naive half of their customer base is too blinded by their faith in them to ever see them for what they are. No matter how pissed off people get at them, they're still making money and they'll keep making money. These suits don't listen to anything unless it affects their bottom line.
In my opinion, I believe Nintendo hates emulation is because they want to make sure people are motivated to buy their games when made available. And if they don’t make the games available, oh well. -\😏/-

@Mosoman1011: Remember the last Nintendo switch update with the new console where gameboy/gameboy collor and GBA for the expension pack, and that was in Feburary this year, the reason they might be takeing down dolphin emulator and the 3DS hacks, this could mean Nintendo Game cube nintendo switch online could be comming this fall, if they considered a seperated upgrade to the hand held upgrade, meaning if this is truth the next hand held upgrade could be next Feburary or near that time on the Nintendo switch online, or it could be this instead Game cube game remaster since Game cube is the only one that did not have a virtual console to have it permanitly as an off line software, and they might change thing and do both, if you like the game when playing in Nintendo switch online, then you go and buy it for real. Remember does are just guessing from me, if it turn out to be truth it is a lucky guess on my part.
They probably took down Dolphin because Gamecube games are coming to Switch.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
They didn't take down Dolphin just took it off of steam
I've got some problems about people criticizing Nintendo, If you blame the entire company as a whole then you're also dragging in the developers and the employees as well, considering the fact they have absolutely nothing to do with the DMCA legal team in Japan. I've also seen some ungrateful complainers weaponize lwata's death, harass and attack anyone for enjoying tears of the kingdom and owning a Nintendo switch, supporting a disgusting smash community with a bunch of 35-year-old neck beards who are p3dos and pr3dators behind the scenes, bomb threat Nintendo HQ over Gary Bowser and send Sakurai death threats over DLC.
As a Nintendo fan of my own, I do admit Nintendo does have some flaws but sometimes it could be our fault as well.
thank god I still have a ds and the super mario 64 card
Frrr
you can emulate if you have a copy I too have that copy
Nintendo is the king of controlling supply
you sure bro
They're wasting money. They could just steal the fan made emulators, rip the roma from the websites, and create an entire line of OFFICIAL Nintendo retro handhelds like the 3rd party companies and they would make so much money they wouldnt know what to do with. Especially if it has HDMI ports for portable plug n play goodness. Of course im talking about the AYN Odin Pro, theres no reason Nintendo cant make an OFFICIAL product with their OFFICIAL licenses but they grown very allergic to smart business moves.
Or they could just be sega and hire fans to make games or other stuff for them. That'll probably be better honestly.
Game’s preservation and the industry as a whole is a joke.
Agreed. The state of this industry is just sad.
The Oracle games should be coming to the Online service eventually. Twilight Princess and Wind Waker need ports and knowing Nintendo, they will be separate releases at about 60-70 bucks each. Skyward Sword is proof of that.
The oracle games should get remakes instead. I'm not gonna waste money for an F tier subscription service for GBC games that I can run randomized on literally every console I own except for my Xbox.
