I feel it's unfair to complain about that (at least before the switch)
They are trying to put on a gimmick in the price of a more powerful hardware
Before the switch.. It was totally excusable (motion controls on the wii, wii-u gamepad and duel screened handhelds.. All gameplay changers)
It's now with the switch.. You don't have a gameplay changing gimmick so it's kinda hard to accept
At least that's my opinion
I would honestly be ok paying 500$ for a PS4 pro power wise switch because the gimmick of the hardware is useless for gameplay

Always seems to be the same way:
"Don't pirate our games, because that costs us potential sales!"
"Oh, so... can I buy this game from you?"
"NO!"
We've been through this with music and movies, and the pirates inevitably win because they're filling a niche in the market that people who *could* be making money just decided not to fill.
Dont forget presivring abandonware.
The consumer wants convenience at the end of the day even if they are willing to pay a bit more for it, when will these corporations realise this?
@@goldenwolfe5085 - Especially that. The smart thing for these companies to do would be to put out their own emulators, with an official website to buy games from at a low price, which they can then justify by having some level of QA. Make it as easy as possible to get this stuff directly from them.
I bought most games I pirated when i was younger If they were good , if they weren't they didn't deserve my money in the first place.
@@FTZPLTC They don't even need to develop their own emulators, there is no real basis for anything to stop emulators but there are laws against pirating the game software, so they just need to sell rom downloads, people could use flashcarts/odes/fpga systems/emulation at their own choice

Why does Nintendo have to cry over people emulating obsolete games that are decades old
Cause there afraid of any miniscule possible profit loss. As they might see u playing a emulated Nintendo game as u not paying them for there work or some dumb idea like that.
Look at how long it took them to re-release Super Mario Sunshine where they did effectively nothing to it. It's literally an emulated version itself. They just want the option to go back and re-sell anything in their catalog no matter how long it takes them or how unlikely it is that they'll even do it. They've become despicable...
I just emulated Hong Kong 97 on my phone
Because they want to sell them to you a second time as "HD" releases for 60 Dollars. But they can't release them all at once, they have to drip feed them to you or else there's not enough hype

Here’s a question to all Nintendo fanboys
Is Nintendo or the FBI, really going to lose their shit over you emulating Smash Bros. Brawl on a PC or a Series X?
No they do not care what so ever. They only care if you are distributing the roms.
@eric Spencer yeah if you dont intend on buying games digitally or ever playing online xbox games since it always requires you to update to the latest clean firmware
but modding the series X at this point of its generation seems pretty weird considering you wanna take advantage of next gen games that will be at gaming PC level standards
The legality is irrelevant. Some people just like playing on original hardware.
@@sleepysteev2735 I understand that, but why be a pompous prick to someone who uses emulation, if some people like using original hardware, then others like using emulation

Emulation hurts nobody, majority of these old games are just getting scalped and resold at high prices. I get hating piracy because that actually prevents devs from getting money, but emulating the N64 just makes it possible to play games that you couldn’t play otherwise.
In many cases these games aren't available to buy even if you wanted to, so what other option is there? Ultimately the Devs make no money off of the second hand market, so I don't see a major difference personally.
The PS1 Library Gets hit hard for this, Games like Skullmonkeys Are Left to die on the PS1 because they havent had a rerelease
yeah, I don't get why poeple get so angry if you emulate a game that isn't even being sold by the devs anymore and is unsupported
Thank you someone understand the game is old you cant find it anywhere if the game hasn't been sold in years by the developers that's why emulators exist for people who couldn't afford the game or doesnt have a console too play it on when they have PCs like example people have playstations 3 or playstations 2 unless they buy off of ebay or amazon thats you but yeah you can play playstation 2 games for the memories I wanna re enjoy that I missed out on :)
I agree, just go to ebay and look for an ORIGINAL copy of Pokemon red/green/blue it literally costs a fucking fortune
Ahhh, my childhood of emulating GBA games... those were the best of times.
Even if one site gets taken down there are bound for others to pop back up for as long as someone at least has the rom or makes another rom
We’ve lost about 50% of all films ever made and 70-90% of all silent films ever made due to mishandling of the original film stock by the companies that produced them. video games are also at their very infancy and if no one works to preserve them like emulator coders do they’ll be lost to history just like all those silent films were, you can never trust the big corporations to do what’s right for the art that they helped create and if you can you need to take it into your own hands

Best reason to emulate:

Game isn't even out yet and it's already emulated. Wow.
That happened with Persona 5 and RPCS3 lol.
It's the only legal issue they have had, they only had to remove any mention of P5 from their website.
But it's still pretty funny how the game was already working pretty well on the emulator before it came out.

Emulation is my preferred way of play, in fact, that's how I have been introduced into some of my favorite video game franchises, as well as development studios. I would recommend using LaunchBox as a front end, basically it organizes your entire collection of games into a form that's easy to look at on PC, and easy to use on a big screen with a controller. That's been my goto for a long time.
Most people afraid of emulation are the tweens that that get shaky knees from creepypastas
They really took the "You wouldn't steal a car" message to heart
They don't even know how important it is to gaming and its history. Most games will never be reproduced, remastered, or ported and emulation allows preservation
I believe from the bottom of my heart that pirating is okay if its nintendo

I remember somehow getting some very old games to run on my pc, it was annoying af to get Daggerfall to actually run properly on a windows 10 machine had to figure out fps and just general memory related stuff also had to go to another site to get an emulator that can properly run the game on a newer system with all the benefits that come with it, then the next day some unity version was made by a fan. Still I believe emulation is like preserving a fossil, with time degrading it without any action done, preservation can leave it intact and let us know of an era of gaming ,rather than leaving the books to collect dust behind a shelf for 100 years. It isn't hurting sales if a game from 30 years ago is being emulated on newer devices, most likely it'll be forgotten about otherwise.

The fact Sony almost shut down the Playstation Store on PS3 is already a good arguement in favor of emulation. When the company is going to shut down a primary source for obtaining games on the system, then yes, emulation is a good thing. Especially when you look at how physical PS3 game prices skyrocketed after Sony's initial announcement and before their backtrack of the decision.
People like to get money for shit the second they get an excuse too, upmarking products and video games are the fucking worse, honestly Emulation is the only way to get those games if its next to impossible to get it legally (looking at you Driver: San Francisco)
While I'm not a legal expert, I feel a lot of things with copyright and copyright arguments are dumb. The fact a company can mark up a product because it's not being made anymore, and take down a way to get a certain product is definitely an argument as to why emulation should be a thing. Companies already find ways and do stupid things to milk more money out of people anyways. Look at copyright on TH-cam. The whole music on Twitch thing.
the backwards compatibility sucks, I am trying to play quake on my new pc and looks awful. Wish emulator would be more mainstream.
I got downvoted about a bazillion times on Reddit for pointing this shit out. I sold all my games for 30k and have no regrets. Emulation is supreme.

The fun thing is that when you look at the reasoning in those cases that solidified emulator legality is that the Judges actually classified emulators as legitimate competition to the original consoles. So stuff like "Yuzu runs Switch games better than the actual Switch" in legal terms just means that the Switch is not a competitive product.
its not the emulator that is the issue its the roms that it uses to play on the emulator and that is piracy

I'm one of those "retro game elitists" who prefers playing games on original hardware (I have an OSSC instead of a Framemeister though), but even I understand that maintaining a physical collection is extremely difficult (and expensive) and that emulation has a ton of benefits. There's nothing wrong with either, there is a time and place for both depending on your preference.

Finally he makes a video just so he can link it to any who question him in the future.

First time watcher. Good video. I'll check out some more of your stuff.
I moved to India as a kid and have lived here ever since and when it comes to video games here, accessibility and pricing is a huge issue. By the time the PS3 came out people here were still in awe of the nes and chinese knockoffs of the nes. Emulators therefore made up a huge part of my childhood and if I never found out about them I wouldn't ever have been introduced to a big ass goldmine of a library.
Wait you MOVED to INDIA? Who would ever want to willingly move to our country??
@@ilaya4183 LOL so true
@@ilaya4183 man i feel the words😔
I understand. I am from India and I only had NES as a kid. Thankfully, there's a game store near me that offers most consoles, even PS5, yes. There were only two of them last time I went there.
But it's really hard to get actual discs or cartridges of old games and that's where emulators come in. I am not going to go on a hunt for every video game even if I love them a lot. Emulating them is a lot easier and saves you time and at the end of the day, you will still be playing the same game. So it's going to be fun either way.
Imagine being that big a fanboy you become the company's secret police and try rat out people.
Some people honest to god.
@RealFeanf4gexterminator lad get a life
Also, just a fun fact, you won't go to jail for doing supposedly illegal things like pirating or downloading torrent, as long as you don't do two things with it?
1. You don't do it publicly
2. You don't make money off of it
@@anonymouspokemon4623 exactly bro all these scaredy cats are so freaking stupid man just dont scream i pirate games to the world nintendo doesnt, sony, xbox, doesn't give a damn about what you are doing unless you willingly go out of your way to tell them that you are getting free copies of their old ass games that dont even make them money anymore
@Russell White i'l do that next time i see an account like that
Emulation has been described to me on more than one occasion as "God's work".
its theft your taking some thing that dosnt belong to you its allso piracy
@@brendonrookes1151 Ah interesting. I don't give a dog's wet shit
@@furnoprime9439 so odly specific what about dry shit ?
@@brendonrookes1151 The actual theft is taking ROMs from the internet and then using them to play games that you legally don't own, the Emulator has nothing to do with the theft part, only some users partake in this activity and some use their own discs to play the games (which isn't illegal, since then you would own the copy of the game), but the Theft part of the Emulator side of things can easily be disproved since they are against Piracy and they don't condone such acts, the only reason they created them is for preservation not piracy of games.
@@brendonrookes1151 It's my copy of the ROM. I bought the cartridge or CD. The original machine for which it was designed no longer works. How is it theft to make a program that interprets the ROM? It's not, and it has been proven in court to be not theft.
Whenever I feel sad or lost I just watch this video and it kicks me bacc into lyfe like nothing else.
Emulation is love.

I love this video so much, and this is exactly how I feel, I've been buying physical games from past consoles lately and made a deal with myself that I can emulate it if I own it! Ebay is beautiful with how many old games I've seen/bought for cheap and all I needed to do is buy a replacement case cheap as well, and now I'm starting to get an old school backlog going!
It's funny that I have more hours playing Breath of the Wild through Yuzu than on my actual Switch! 😆

I probably wouldn't have been a gamer today if I didn't pirate games as a kid
Amen
I remember playing Pac-Man in an arcade in late 2008 as a kid, then in 2011 my older sister got a ps3 that came with Skyrim, played that, enjoyed it. Got a desktop pc like my uncle had and started branching out with games like minecraft, tf2, and terraria. In 2015 I got into Fallout starting with 4 and some lesser known games that I also enjoyed. Later on I got a game called PAYDAY 2 because it went free in 2016 for a day and I got it because a friend told me, I now have 1.8k hours in that game with 1079/1246 achievements in the game. In 2020, when covid hit of course, I found these two games. Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, those two games really helped me out during quarantine due to how our state's governor handled it, we couldn't step outside. Now, most of my steam friends play PAYDAY 2 since that's the game I'm more, say...social with. I still communicate with the communities of the various games I've played in the past. It is now just a long wait for some sequels we've waited over a decade for, the light at the end of the tunnel for some titles, just waiting for the final announcements, all while enjoying every single minute of it. Gaming has pretty much transformed my life from me being depressed with no hope in life because of abusive family, to me being proud of what I've played and who I've interacted with when his family failed to actually raise me properly. It has been one hell of a ride, one that will continue even when I'm gone from activity, being in the military, I'll still keep tabs on the news of future titles, see what will impress, and what will disappoint, frankly enough has been a lot of disappointment as of lately.
@@AaronCleetus-cj4gw oh, neat..I've come to understand some pirates, especially against the big corporations, though I think it's despicable against smaller devs
This video really cleared out about the legallity of emulation, thank you for the video
"dont download free music from pirated websites, it hurts the creator"
Me: So that their kids are gonna have to suffer because they have to eat with gold spoons instead of diamonds?
technically it hurt the creator
For real
This is also doesn't realllly effect indie/small musicians (to a degree). If you want the music of a small band/artist that doesn't have a steady income from their musical work, it would be more ethical to purchase their stuff; however, most artists still readily share their music for free because we love what we do and want others to enjoy it too. Support small, pirate large.

Thanks for making me research something
just install them natively, you don't need to emulate.
@@pleasurereport These things were desktop background games optimized for like Windows 7, no way I can run it on my current system. But it can be done (just not easily like I said)
@@darklordliam bro just use a vm, super easy.
Remember kids, software piracy might not be legal, but its always ethical when its a AAA game or Photoshop/Clip Studio Paint
RDR 1 is SO good. It also makes me happy that when the Xbox One X was out, Microsoft not only made RDR 1 Backwards Compatible, but 4K60 enhanced it for that system. Amazing!
Anyways, it’s so cool to see how far emulation has come. It blew my mind to see MGS4 running so well on an emulator. Made me miss playing that game.
Emulation is helping to preserve all these games.
Cheers!

the huge problem with old games that isn't available anymore is that is turning into abandonware like say the old Harry potter games for PC or the pokemon games from the Gamecube era without pay massive sum and probably won't get the game running or get it at all.

@@jurassisartto this day I still regretted selling that game, I owned it but sold it for like 15 bucks before it got super rare but after it had been pulled from the shop, and now it's one of the rarest PS4 games..
The old MGS NES games for example too.
Haha finally... btw you should do a video on the Steam Deck, I think you'll find it interesting
I stumbled across this by chance and boy am I glad. Had a bunch of games that I bought for the PS3 and really bumped out that future Sony consoles are not backwards compatible with it. With this, I can at least start searching for ways to dump my PS3 games so I can easily access them whenever on my own PC.
