I guess I'm lucky in the sense that I never found Nintendo franchises appealing enough to care about things like this (e.g. emulating some old nintendo game) or play their games longer than half an hour.
But good luck in your war against your own fanbase, Nintendo. I really hope you lose.
- AStonesThrow 2y agoI agree, as a matter of taste. I was raised on Atari 2600 and Commodore, really exciting, seminal platforms. I believe that our NES belonged to my sister and I only borrowed time on it. I found the game carts mostly lackluster and not too compelling. Graphics and sound were meh. For that era/generation I greatly preferred Sega, such as Genesis and Dreamcast. But it wasn't long before I became totally occupied with multimedia PC games, and there was no reason to maintain a dedicated console at all. I do, however, completely support Nintendo and others who defend their IP and customer experiences, because otherwise we get utterly indiscriminate crap shovels for platforms who don't do this.
- ravenstine 2y agoThey haven't really made anything I've wanted to play in the last few decades, but having grown up in the N64 era, it is continuously sad to see Nintendo behave this way. I've seen them go after YouTube channels that have gameplay walkthroughs with commentary for old games. To say that this or even footage of emulators is a serious threat to them is laughable. Make your games easily accessible, don't treat your customers like crap (for effectively advertising your products for free), and people will buy your games.
