@Royalblues Relax, relax, chill out. it was a guy that SOLD modchips that tricks the Switch into allowing downloads of unofficial emulators and ROMs that got arrested and put in prison. Its totally different from the thousands to millions of people around the world download free unauthorized ROMs everyday just to relieve their nostalgia.
I owned a New 2DS XL for a few years now and I watched this https://youtu.be/f35i5AVzpsg. and https://youtu.be/yj9Gk84jRiE I found these videos from Nerrel's channels to be very interesting and gives the unfortunate reality of how Nintendo actually does to actual game preservation. There are so many good games for Game Boy, NES, SNES, and N64 that have never ever came to VC. Closing down VC for whatever reason is a bad idea for many reasons. And demand for old video games is only increasing more nowadays.
Until recently, aside from making unofficial emulators and using Legit games on a cartridge dumper, I had totally agreed with Nintendo's views on free ROM sites offering older games. But Don't Copy that Floppy's DP never mentions about older games from past gens. Going the totally clean way, for the past few Christmases, I played The Grinch for GBC on my GBA SP. I waited for games like that to appear on VC. As with important popular games on the platforms supported by Wii and Wii U and 3DS VC, but never made it, like Ducktales for GB/NES or Goldeneye for N64, I had to swallow the unfortunate reality that because of partly due to lisencing issues and that really shouldn't be an issue when easily re releasing a movie on a VHS, LazerDisc, DVD, Blu-Ray, YouTube, and 4K and because Nintendo didn't really show the care for all its older games as it showed to be with the Classic Minis, VC, and NSO, there will never ever be another official, legitimate release of these games within my lifetime.
