@DollyrotsFan1 My hope is that if they go down the let's go route they give players the option between that and classic play style. If they had done that in let's go it would have made it more appealing to a lot of people.
As long as you don't plaster your ***** all over YouTube there's nothing they're going to do to individual users. They don't have jurisdiction to do whatever the ***** they want all around the world.
The only people who will ever be in trouble are the ones who put the stuff online in the first place.
Retroarch is better than anything Nintendo has to offer. They have had many years to make money off those old titles. That being said to play online you have no choice but to have NSO.
The way the landscape is changing Publishers are becoming less and less needed which is great for developers because they get more of the money that they deserve.
One of my close friends is building a game and they don't want to use a publisher because they know how much they could lose to them.
Just to put it in perspective when selling a video game you already lose 30% to most storefronts before you even pay your taxes and then some Publishers depending on what services they provide could take up to another 30%, some cases even more before you get your money.
You can't patent an art style or a gameplay mechanic without using some type of legal loophole or abusing an old set of laws that were never updated for Modern Times and the digital age.
@timp29 They were smart to corner the market the way they did. Merging the console and handheld division and putting them under one roof was the smartest thing they could have ever done.
@WiltonRoots I mean there's nothing they can do to individuals who are not profiting off of piracy.
In fact it's only a matter of time before somebody makes a ROM site hosted in a country that has new rules for intellectual property that aren't hundreds of years old.
All that I know is that I'm going to play every first party switch game that comes out and I don't plan on paying for any of them except maybe Metroid.
Nintendo wants to be an dick Corporation and start a war they can go right ahead but it's not a winning battle for them.
If you're moving to a new game engine and rebuilding the game that is a remake, and it can be as simple as just literally porting it to a new engine and increasing the graphic fidelity, to actually changing the gameplay and approaching it with modern sensibilities and even new content.
@Serpenterror it must be doing really good financially for them to continue it this long, Honestly it's one of the few times that I've seen DLC done properly.
@link12684 As a small indie dev myself I can tell you that the more people you have working on a game the longer you spend showing them how to do things which detracts from actually building the game.

Re: Pokémon Gold And Silver Celebrates 25 Years With Commemorative Plush
@nessisonett There will be more remakes, not much we can do.

Re: Nintendo Is Handed Another Lawsuit Win After Accused Switch "Pirate" Fails To Plead
@batmanbud2 Not true, 102CAD after taxes for game is not "cheap", most people do not make as much money as you think they do...
Re: Nintendo Is Handed Another Lawsuit Win After Accused Switch "Pirate" Fails To Plead
Don't pirate current stuff, not that complicated.
Re: Nintendo Says Switch Online Expansion Pack Subs Are "Steadily Increasing"

Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?
They are not going to announce the switch 2 until the January Nintendo Direct. To kill their holiday sales now would be an insanely poor decision.

Re: Hands On: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Brings Tantalising Creativity To The 2D Template
Sweet, another free Nintendo game!
Re: Rumour: Switch "Successor" Will Be Backwards Compatible, It's Claimed
They may not be able to make it BC because of the security issues of the current Switch.

Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy Advance (GBA) Game Ranked
I prefer to play them on MiSTer FPGA or Steam Deck but ya, there were a lot of amazing games from that generation.

@ikki5 Scarlet and Violet were and still are broken that is a fact. If you enjoyed it I am glad but they are broken and shameful excuses of games.
