@-wc- I know all of that. What I’m saying is game leaks like this are the reason that Nintendo is against emulation. Not saying that emulation itself is illegal.
@Mgalens It didn’t really make sense for the switch to be backwards compatible with 3DS games, since the switch can run much more powerful games. But I do think the switches successor will be backwards compatible. Nintendo has had a history of doing this with their handhelds, so it only makes sense.
@NinjaNicky The switch is far from dead and likely will thrive for a few years after nintendos next console releases. The 2ds on the other hand, is a dead system.
@CharlieGirl The problems with Scarlet and Violet are 1000x worse than TOTK. Yeah TOTK has some frame drops, but Scarlet/ Violet were borderline unplayable at points.
My favorite is probably Eventide. You’re so used to having all your gear that it is a nice challenge to clear the island. You don’t realize how much protection your armor actually offers until you don’t have it.
@SalvorHardin Huh, why would they do that. My only guess would be that Demise is pulling the strings, but it seemed clear in the trailer that Ganondorf is the main villain.

Oh I see.

@YoshiF2
You don’t have to pay for the parts, you just trade in game materials.
Re: Nintendo Teases Gacha Mechanics In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Kinda clickbaity, I could see someone thinking this game had micro transactions if they just read the headline.

Re: Wii Sports Officially Inducted Into The Video Game Hall Of Fame
Wii sports is the video game hall of fame.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Pirates Called Out By Former NoA Boss Reggie
@-wc-
Yup emulation is perfectly legal. But often times it is used in illegal ways, which is why Nintendo is so against it.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Pirates Called Out By Former NoA Boss Reggie
@frabbit
Because there are a ton of people playing the game right now.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Pirates Called Out By Former NoA Boss Reggie
@sirmrguitardude
Yep, everybody is totally playing pre orders that came out early. No piracy happening here.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Pirates Called Out By Former NoA Boss Reggie
And people wonder why Nintendo looks down upon emulation?
For all the talk about only emulating older games, it sure does go out the window pretty darn quick.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Pirates Called Out By Former NoA Boss Reggie
@Madao
Stuff like this make the “ game preservation” pretty weak.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Pirates Called Out By Former NoA Boss Reggie
@YoshiFlutterJump
You can’t pre load the game until a week before launch.
Re: Random: Think You Know BOTW's Hyrule? Test Your Zelda Knowledge With This Map Quiz
That is best not attempted on a phone.
Re: Pokémon GO's Monthly Earnings Have Fallen To A Five-Year Low
Makes sense, I’m surprised it’s remained popular as long as it has. Although it definitely hasn’t fallen off much.

Knee high socks are underrated, just got to wear them with pants.
Re: Video: 7 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In May 2023
My life is going to become Tears Of The Kingdom when it releases.
Re: Marvel's Midnight Suns On Switch "No Longer Planned"
Makes sense, I doubt it would run very well.
Re: Random: Mario Movie Illegal Upload Watched By Millions On Social Media
@Arawn93
I’ve never got the game preservation argument. It’s not game preservation when you are playing it before the game even releases.
Re: Random: Mario Movie Illegal Upload Watched By Millions On Social Media
Nintendos lawyers are going to be busy this week.
Re: Watch Out, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Leaks Are Out In The Wild
I will look at the leaks until dungeons are confirmed then I am off the internet for awhile.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 29th)
I started up Monster Hunter World earlier this week, and it’s safe to say I am addicted. So that, and maybe some Minecraft and Madden.
Re: Video: Unboxing The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch OLED
Looks great, but I can’t justify buying a more expensive version of the switch OLED I already own.

Re: Japanese Charts: Minecraft Legends Comes Out On Top After A Quiet Week
Oof, that’s rough for Microsoft. I know XBOX isn’t big in Japan, but the series S should at least beat out a dead handheld.

The problems with Scarlet and Violet are 1000x worse than TOTK. Yeah TOTK has some frame drops, but Scarlet/ Violet were borderline unplayable at points.
Re: New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Commercial Wants You To Master Your Imagination
@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed
The adverts aren’t great, but Nintendo would be foolish not to market the game.
At least they are better than the Wii U era ads.
Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo Controller? Every Nintendo Pad Ranked
The Wii U game pad may not be a looker, but it’s the best one. You can play games without a TV and it’s surprisingly comfortable.
Re: Mario Movie Expected To Surpass $1 Billion At The Global Box Office
Every article about how much the Mario movie makes uses the same exact thumbnail. Doesn’t matter what website, it’s the same image every time.
Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Quest In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
My favorite is probably Eventide. You’re so used to having all your gear that it is a nice challenge to clear the island. You don’t realize how much protection your armor actually offers until you don’t have it.
Re: Pokémon GO Dev Niantic Is Making A Monster Hunter Mobile Game
This is cool, but I expect the game to be filled to the brim with micro transactions.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
@eltomo
If only he would have looked for an honest job instead of commiting a crime.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
@Snatcher
Yeah, the fine is harsh but I don’t have much sympathy for him.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 16.0.2 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Yosher
Stability is the only update that matters.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
@BlueCoolYoshi
Yup, hopefully he learned from his mistake.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
@NintonicGamer
He committed the crime and now he is paying the consequences. Bowser has nobody to blame but himself.
Re: Nintendo's Next Switch Game Trial Is Now Available To Online Subscribers (North America)
Really good game, plus it is short enough you might be able to beat it within the free trial.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 16.0.2 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Bravice
Just wait until the next update, it will be so stable the switch won’t have any choice.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 16.0.2 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
The switch is gonna be so stable that we mere mortals won’t be able to handle playing it.
Re: Video: The Completionist Talks To Us About His Upcoming Roguelike Game, Elsie
@Greatluigi
Nintendrew made a game called C.A.R.L. I haven’t played it, but I think it reviewed decently.
Re: Feature: Which Zelda Game Has The Best Ganondorf? Every Design Ranked By You
@SalvorHardin
Huh, why would they do that. My only guess would be that Demise is pulling the strings, but it seemed clear in the trailer that Ganondorf is the main villain.
Re: Feature: Which Zelda Game Has The Best Ganondorf? Every Design Ranked By You
@InkyLink672 @Vexx234
I must have read the title wrong. I thought it was about Ganondorfs as a whole.
Re: Feature: Which Zelda Game Has The Best Ganondorf? Every Design Ranked By You
TOTK Ganondorf shouldn’t have been on the list since we have seen him for a total of 3 seconds so far.
Re: Nintendo Wins Court Dispute Against Pirated Game Hosting Site
@Anti-Matter @Discostew
You guys do know what joking is, right?
Re: Nintendo Wins Court Dispute Against Pirated Game Hosting Site
@Anti-Matter
We don’t call it piracy, game preservation sounds much better.
Re: Nintendo Wins Court Dispute Against Pirated Game Hosting Site
Comment sections like these are so predictable. These people commited piracy to the definition, yet people still think Nintendo is in The wrong here.
Re: It's Official, SEGA Is Buying Angry Birds Maker, Rovio
Huh, quite the turn for Sonic 3 to become Sonic vs Redbird: Dawn of Justice.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Link's Start Point In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@ChickenJoe
Yep, now it’s just something blocking me from what I actually want to do in BOTW.
Re: Talking Point: Should Link Have Voice Acting In The Next Zelda Game?
No, just no.
This is the main reason I don’t want a Zelda movie to be made, it doesn’t seem right to give Link a voice.
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Multiplayer Mod YouTube Videos Are Getting Copyright Strikes
I’m usually a pretty big Nintendo defender, but this is ridiculous.
