They were a toys company before a videogame company. They've breached the multimedia platforms before, now they're just doing it with the right amount of oversight.
I think the fact that Fusion was included in the ambassadors program gave a lot of exposure to many players who otherwise wouldn't have played Metroid during the dry era, including myself.
When they shut these services down, all the digital exclusives essentially become abandonware, meaning it is not only morally and ethically acceptable to pirate those games in the world of computer ethics, but becomes a moral necessity for the world of digital preservation. Nintendo could fix this with minimal effort, but they choose not to.

I can't tell if those patch notes sound like AI or just written to sound cutesy.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
@OctolingKing13 Unfortunately, Earthbound probably isn't going to happen. To much red tape and copyright issues. I didn't think they'd take the risk.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
@AussieMcBucket some of the tracks are stereo now. Please applaud Nintendo for their generosity.

@martynstuff you'd think, wouldn't you?
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
...so nothing new was added, got it. They really want to act like they're adding content to this, don't they.
Re: Video: Right, We Need To Talk About GameChat On Switch 2
It's a lot better than I expected, especially the TTS and the STT systems, that was an unexpected treat.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming "Later This Year"
Seems like a good opportunity to go listen to the full OST on YouTube.
Re: Limited Edition Shovel Knight Switch Joy-Con Revealed, Pre-Orders Now Live
Man, those look really cool, but joycons are overpriced as it is. I can't justify this payment, especially when they'll probably be obsolete soon.

@KateGray Congratulations, you're a prophet.
Re: Miitopia's New Mii Creation Tools Are Terrifyingly Powerful
I suppose I can't transfer these to Tomodachi Life can I. Oh well, hope for a sequel.
