@Vincent294 No. In order to make a determination, they would have to have a finder of fact apply existing law and come to a legal conclusion. Suing would not make it lawful, but the ultimate conclusion of the conflict resolution would be a judge or jury saying this violated copyright law, or did not.

@Vincent294 No. I understand what you are saying. But for your assertion to be tested, Nintendo would have to sue. Once that occurred, there would be a finding of law. Only then could you conclusively say that this is within the law.

There are no copyright police. The holder of a copyright enforces their rights against alleged infringers and there are many reasons why a copyright holder might not.

@ironside1911 So your response is, "You are wrong cause it's in the shop!" And then you attempt to be insulting. Great.

@ironside1911 You clearly don't understand what I wrote. And you seem to be ignorant of how copyright law is enforced. There are no copyright police. Every copyright holder enforces their rights through civil action.

Your legal analysis is incredibly poor. It appears to be common internet understanding. From Sony v. Universal, upon which the development of all of the peer to peer file transfer protocols are based, the software must be capable of substantial non-infringing use. (I am completely uninterested in pedestrian arguments about how this emulator could play unique games not coded nor published by Nintendo.)

Additionally, Nintendo need only argue that the use of the cartridges themselves was an attempt to thwart copying, and if accepted, to copy a cart would be circumventing an anti piracy measure, which is illegal under contemporary U.S. copyright law.

The approval of this type of software by Microsoft's intellectual property attorneys would constitute legal malpractice.

*Edit: The three paragraphs above don't even begin to touch upon the myriad trademark issues that would arise.

Wish I could hit that for the merch alone!

Please = Pleas

Getting two.

Absolutely buying this!

Hooray~! Time to say goodbye to all of my IRL friends, hope no one dies before G rank!

Played the demo, arts are neat! Monkey, get on my back, on my back, MONKEY!

Gonna grab it!

Awesome!

Must be nice to be Capcom! Two giant franchises. I played Street Fighter in the SNES days, but to be honest, haven't been back since.

But Monster Hunter? I have journeyed anew to each village upon every fresh release. Happy to lay down my precious time to climb that mountain once again!

SWEET! Oh my dank memes, I would grab that NN3DS XL but I have the Gamestop Special Edition from last year! If only Nintendo allowed eShop purchases across multiple consoles!

I love the themes! Looking forward to redeeming points for this one! Hooray!

No interest whatsoever, will not buy.

Monster Hunter Generations is sufficient for me. Already preordered from Amazon. I will buy the Kirby game as well! Lots of fun heading to the 3DS~!

How can it legitimately be called a delay when this is the FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT of its release from Nintendo? Please unwad your panties.

No interest, whatsoever.

Don't worry yet. This message was from the party that got dumped, it doesn't mean that no games by ATLUS will be published in Europe in the future.

Awesome!

Good for him! Or her!

Looks good!

Day one purchase retail, but I will pass on a license. Neat!

Didn't care then, don't care now!

Never heard of it, won't buy it on eShop if they do make it. Sorry, bro!

Well, I don't expect anyone who thinks that this fan based project is completely benign to have any intellectual property background whatsoever. I will say though, that a tenant in U.S. trademark law is that if you do not protect your intellectual property rights, you could very well lose them. This situation will never rise to that level, specifically because Nintendo is diligent in protecting their intellectual property rights.

And the trademark issue is only a very thin reed in a large bundle of sticks that represent the good and sound reasons to protect their property rights. Indeed if their attorneys did not suggest that they protect their rights at every turn, the attorneys themselves should be held liable.

I have no problem with complaints and accusations that Nintendo is being completely wrong headed in this matter. Just try to keep a little perspective.

@Mr_Zurkon I can understand your position. I love it and buy the games in the series as soon as they release, but when I make recommendations to people I am careful. I tell them that if they get into it, the Monster Hunter series may provide them with many, many hours of some of the best action gaming around.

MH4U! Done.

It's worthless without the Herbs and Blue Mushrooms. I'm going to buy some anyway!

I personally don't care for the new layout, it seems harder to find things.

I will probably continue to view the site, however.

I purchased this game on launch, but am a bit dissatisfied with it.

As much as I hate to say this, I think it is boring.

Co-op online is frustrating because you can't communicate, there is no way of telling if someone is embarked or not before you enter, and the combat is basic.

I really thought I would love it, but now I am going to sell it.

Day one!

At least a nine! Burn the witch!

Day one, baby!

Yeah microcontrollers are pretty neat.

I have enjoyed Nintendo games since I first received a NES for Christmas all those years ago. I honestly have never been so disheartened about the future. These nickel and dime budget shovel ware titles that are developed to resemble gambling, and certainly victimize those who become addicted, used to be relegated to other places. Lesser places.

Day one!

Have the NN3DS XL, but must double dip!

I loved the prequel to this, I played it and loved it. Also Nobunaga's Ambition!

I wish KOEI would release some modern Historical Simulation Series in the west!

My wallet is ready.

Everyone can have their own opinion on this product, but one thing is for sure: the people at amiiqo will be hammered in court. They will wither up and blow away.

Just pulled the trigger on a Crystal Red yesterday!

I think it's great that this fantastic little console is available for people at an easy price!

Hooray! Legit White Fatalis!

So, these prognosticators took the opposite of what was said, and predicted it would happen. Genius.

Ready to preorder the day it is announced!

An excellent life, filled with accomplishments.
Thank you for your work, you have touched my life and so many others.

After what happened with the North American importation of FF: Type-0 on the PSP, I am hesitant to voice support for Square Enix.

However, if retail copies of these titles did hit my shores, I would purchase them.

I agree that voice chat could potentially ruin the experience. If only monkeys could control themselves! Haha!
