Reggie Plays Main Related To Series That He Didn't Even Bother Announcing News About At The Gaming Awards

Where's Mortal Kombat???

@ClassSonicSatAm I want a cartridge with 40 SNES games on it, not some shoddy online rental service.

@Heavyarms55 I love all the tough talk, but we both know who you’ll call if something (god forbid) happens to you. Try some more peaceful thoughts. Not everyone is out to get you, and not every cop is bad. Try not to get too involved in what the news media pushes. They are covering less than 1% of all actual responses that first responders make.

@Heavyarms55 I get it, you don’t like cops. Talking to me isn’t going to solve your hate.

@Alantor28 I'm joking

@AshFoxX No ET no buy

@huyi I'm talking cartridge format.

@ClassSonicSatAm Of course, yes. I just mean in cartridge form.

@MrVariant Thanks for the heads up!

@rdrunner1178 Ah, it came off as confusing because I was hammering away at so many other posters. But, now that I see where you are coming from. Yes, you need a higher high horse!! lol

Why they don't do these huge compilations for NES or SNES baffles me.

@rdrunner1178 I don’t know who you were replying to, but I don’t support selling another persons copywritten material. It’s a long thread, so maybe you got the wrong user.

@Heavyarms55 Sure, it’s a fine point you make, but it still only applies to a small percentage. The majority is acting out of a good spirit.

@MrVariant Ah, I didn’t think of that! You’re right! Sometimes remakes get changed so much it hurts the original. I recall the PSP version of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, where they went 2.5d and it ruined the overall aesthetic of the game. Though, at least in that case I think the original was an unlockable. Anyway, still a very good point. Thank you!

@Sanangelo89 Merry Christmas.

@IHateTombs Exactly. They could be putting their efforts into improving what they already have, instead of wasting resources on some dude selling preloaded systems, etc.

@rdrunner1178 You need a higher high horse.

@ElectricGhost haha, thanks and you too!!

@HobbitGamer It’s 70 years after the author dies. There are some exclusions depending on the year though. For example things made around 1987-1999 or so expire after 5 years and become public domain. Have a merry Christmas!

@ElectricGhost Thank you.

@Trajan I second the N64 classic. They would be foolish not to do that. It would be the best selling mini, I bet!

@NEStalgia Thank you for adding a little bit of reason to this conversation. I feel like I'm hitting my head against a wall when I talk with that guy.

@Anti-Matter Is Gamestop pirating? They are selling things where they don't own the IP. Heck, they even sell download codes for games. Are all the people selling old, out of print games pirates, too? They don't own the rights to the things they are selling. Are public libraries pirates for freely distributing books?

Are people who are buying these things all stealing, according to your logic? Theft has to involve financial damages for it to be considered so. It's a legal term, backed by other such legalese. It's not just stealing because it makes your heely-feelies hurt when someone downloads a ROM that's out of print and is therefor, public domain and protected by laws that govern such things.

I just want to see how deluded you are, at this point. I already know the answers to those questions. You clearly have no understanding of how copyright works, and when things become public domain, either through abandonment, or as in the case of Blizzard, their own willfulness.

@DarthFoxMcCloud Just another reason that sometimes, hackers and modded hardware are better than the originals!

What a beautiful looking game!

The first one, while beautiful, felt like it lacked direction. Might give this one a try, especially seeing as there is a little more inclination towards progress.

@Anti-Matter Public domain isn't a crime...what are you even on about?! lmao

Ah, Puzzle Bobble was my go-to in between DDR sets at the local arcade. Good times!

@itslukec I'm not even sure what you're getting at anymore. Do you have a point to add to the discussion?

Glad I picked mine up after all the craze died down, and for normal, retail prices. The reason they don't want these things in the wild is laid out in what they said about Switch online. "We want to focus on Switch online." No. They want YOU to focus on PAYING for Switch Online. Man, the more I read about Nintendo, the less inclined I want to keep supporting them.

@Yorumi Yeah, I just browsed the Hori website and it seems they don't have something like that yet, which is a huge shame.

@itslukec The public was informed directly by a representative from Blizzard that distribution of Diablo 1 on PC is okay because they haven't done anything with it. If they ever take up the trademark on the original game again, that will change but so far, they have settled to allow it become public domain.

@Anti-Matter Look up public domain, it will help prevent you from being so black and white on the matter. Remember, stealing only happens when it causes a person or entity financial damages. Otherwise, it's not considered so. I know what you're pushing for, but you're just wrong so let it go.

@DABYX Thanks for being reasonable! As far as copyright, I don't know how long it takes for something digital or written to be considered public domain. It can't be 50 years, because Diablo is less than that. Maybe it has to do with when the trademark expires?

@Hyrule This isn't hard. Look at the percentage of people that are police officers that act justly on a daily basis, and compare it to the number of officers that abuse their position. Do that, then call me back, instead of being a silly edge-lord.

@Trikeboy Actually, no. In order for it to be illegal, it has to cause monetary damages. In the digital world, if the copyright holder doesn't keep their trademark up to date, the item in question becomes public domain. Might want to look into that before getting all edgy on the internet.

@HobbitGamer ???

@Yorumi Hori made exactly that for PS4 controllers. I wonder if they made one for Switch?

@Anti-Matter That’s good that you like to talk so much, but your Pokémon cosplay is more of an indication than your words.

@itslukec It’s not theft if the intellectual property right holder no longer kept the trademark active. Did I steal the motherboard? No, it’s somewhere in Japan, far far away from me. If the trademark isn’t kept up, it becomes public property. A similar thing happened with the original Diablo on PC. Because they haven’t done anything with it for so long, Blizzard allows it to be freely distributed. In the case of Cybattler, nobody loses money if someone downloads the ROM.

@ImagineerNik You're right, and usually when these sorts of name changes occur there are legal issues surrounding them. It's possible that they accidentally used the word eShop without researching some small company that already uses the word, for example. Who knows?

@Eddy7eddy I can get on board with this. It's one thing if an individual user adds games to their mini-SNES, but if they go back and sell it for profit I can see how that would upset Nintendo.

@Anti-Matter Uh, no. Some of the games that I play on emulators are either a) outrageously expensive, and b) not even available anymore. As an example, an old arcade game called Cybattler is one of of my favorites. Right now, there's only one copy of the motherboard for the arcade machine on eBay, and it's $900. For me, that's 100% inaccessible. It doesn't even have the cabinet! So, for cases like that, emulation is the only answer, as that game was literally never ported to any home console.

Honestly, Nintendo needs to back off a little bit. There are other reasons for playing emulated games than just "for the lulz" or "because I can" or just pirating.

@Alantor28 That's an incredibly over-the-top reaction to this story.

@ejf1984 YES. That's the one. Thank you for clearing that up!

@Prizm Exactly. I was thinking the other poster was using wireless pads or something.

@JaxonH If he starts saying anything of value, then I will listen.

@ElectricGhost Yeah, me too. He feels like a used car salesman trying to get me to buy the one with the cheap tires, even though it's got shiny paint.

@Hyrule It's okay. I know it's because you haven't been exposed to a lot of law enforcement, so you are only able to form an opinion based on what you read on the net.

The guy in the captain falcon outfit is the only one that has had some real martial arts training.
