Guys we got em

IceFoxX,

So the lawyer says that Nintendo, despite knowing that the emulators themselves are legal, has unlawfully caused take downs and reputational damage. Sounds kind of illegal

lowleveldata,

I mean, walking is not illegal but walking in private property could be.

Sam_Bass,

Until someone publishes another one anyway

Nintendo lost my business long ago nothing they make or say will get me to buy another Nintendo product

Soulifix,

Nintendo 5 years from now: "After suing multiple fan projects and intimidating them to cease projects, Nintendo admits that they were just fan projects"

This is the company by the way that's behind on the times of technology. Like, how long did it take them to adopt broadband technology on their consoles? The Wii?

justOnePersistentKbinPlease,

They killed Splatoon's grassroots Esport community thanks to them making a quick buck with splatoon 3, that promised a bunch of network functionality improvements that never materialized.

So now, a game that used to have multiple small but growing international tournaments now has nothing. Hell, they used to have tournaments on the main stage at PAX East.

ggtdbz,

Never got into Splatoon but it looked like great fun and kind of perfect for low-stakes competition.

Fucks sake Nintendo

frezik,

Game Cube had a network adapter, but few games used it. It did let you do 8 player Mario Kart.

cm0002,

Like, how long did it take them to adopt broadband technology on their consoles? The Wii?

As on addon or built-in? I know the GameCube had an Ethernet add-on and I think the N64 had a dialup addon (Would have been the fastest at the time for home users, nobody had home broadband on N64 release)

The Wii was the first to have it built in

Soulifix,

As built in.

    The original Xbox (2001) came with integrated Ethernet

    Mrcheesle,

    I think you forgot about the XBox360

    And the OG Xbox. And the Dreamcast.

    Folks pointing out GCN/Wii internet abilities are missing that the experience was awful. Like sure, the guts of broadband were there, but actually playing a game with friends online was way more trouble than it was worth.

    So to your point, real online gaming was indeed way behind other consoles (IMHO).

    The top IP lawyer at Nintendo agreed that emulators are technically legal at a panel for intellectual property rights.

    They run afoul of the law when they bypass encryption, recreate copyrighted programs, or point users to pirated material.

    nul9o9,

    Is it possible to emulate without bypassing encryption?

    kipo,

    Repeal the DMCA. One of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed.

    atro_city,

    Stop buying Nintendo, mkay?

    Linktank,

    Time to counter-sue?

    You know they got DEEP pockets.

    sirico,

    Back to the forks bois
