Remember: It’s always ethically okay pirating a Nintendo game
Good, it serves them right for the way they treat their customers. I hope every one of their games gets leaked early.
Unpopular opinion: These leaks are probably the reason for Nintendo being so ruthless on emulators.
It’s difficult to know how much of a difference it makes, but I also think it’s at least a reason. Given Nintendo is also going after sites like Vimm’s Lair, which does not host recent consoles ROMs, it’s not the only reason.
Certainly not. But with Vimm’s lair you could argue that it’s definetly illegal, while emulation is generally considered legal.
They typically do in my experience
yup, i was active in the n64 days and we enjoyed early roms :)
That’s awesome, I didn’t know it went that far back
🏴☠️
stealing from nintendo is a long running tradition
Sorry, I meant the early leaked copies specifically
Does it run on ryujinx? 🤣
I wouldnt know
Spoiler
(but yes)
Well, it works fine on the steam deck.
Probably very likely.
Has Nintendo ever had the entire rom of a major game leak before it was released?
Not quite the same but there was a working GBA emulator before the console released.
Happened with Tears of the Kingdom too iirc.
And Echoes of Wisdom too.
Skyward Sword too, going back to the Wii era. That was probably just someone at a games store dumping the disc when it was shipped to them before they could legally sell it though.
And Metroid dread. I finished that one the weekend before it came out. Then bought the collectors tin.
In case this was asked in earnest, yes- it happens all the time. Nintendo releases have been notoriously leaky for about 3 years now
Good.
Hope more comes.
mamma mia
With ho wierdly consistent these leaks are now.
I doubt Nintendo is smart enough to use that as a biz strategy, by like, there has to be some intention behind this from on an insider.How does it happen?
The first gen switch is really easy to hack. Once someone in the supply-line gets their hands on a cartridge, it’s already online.
Brothership? Are they intentionally playing into incest fan fic? Are those the only Mario fans left? Is Luigi really a bottom in their brothership? Can parents see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch™©®?
its 2024, if you aren’t shipping incest what are you doing with your life?
