Nintendo has been actively taking down YouTube videos that feature its games being emulated or modded, which has sparked significant discussion and concern within the gaming community. This action primarily targets content creators who showcase modified versions of Nintendo games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and others, often using emulators like CEMU or Yuzu.Reasons Behind Nintendo's ActionsIntellectual Property Protection: Nintendo's aggressive stance is largely driven by the need to protect its intellectual property rights. Under Japanese copyright law, failure to enforce these rights could potentially weaken their legal standing, leading to a loss of ownership
Nintendo is running out of ideas so they are going back into their catalog to remaster old games. Cant have people playing dead games if they release a new graphically updated version and make millions.
This is especially true when the new generation is figuring out that graphics aren’t shit and story is everything.
If only they did this at the Switch release, one of the biggest reasons I didn’t buy one, wonder if there’s a chance they’ll do a PSO remake and release the English version 10 years later? (Although that’s really Segas fault)
Ephinea server’s been going strong. It’s great. PSO BlueBurst (GameCube, plus episode 4).
I’ve played on Ephinea, it’s a pretty good experience. Afaik there’s not a good way to play on mobile except Steam Deck or other expensive hardware, if net play worked on the Android version of dolphin that would be massive (it won’t probably also only be a matter of hours before Nintendo got butthurt) If there were a larger player base or they could make more changes to the game I’d definitely play more.
I don’t really think it matters that much. The more of the community you alienate and spit in their faces for loving you, the more youngsters will be given something else to play because their dad wants to see Nintendo burn.
That’s all they’ve been doing for decade’s. Ninten-who? I stopped paying attention to them ages ago.
