Remember, it’s always **Morally Correct** to pirate Nintendo Games.
Who could have seen this coming 😐
Ha, just this morning I was talking with my brother about the fun police.
With all Nintendo’s litigation towards everyone and their hatred of mods and emulators and constantly attacking everyone out there I’m surprised they have any customers left.

Nintendo’s lawyers are horrible and they constantly shit on players who genuinely enjoy their games.
However in this case this is justified. Emulation can feasibly (though not likely) take away potential business. Many of the top Gamecube and WiiU games are available on the switch online store so it’s an easy argument to make that emulation software unjustly takes away potential sales to the company.
Now personally I think Nintendo should just let it ride as I’m willing to bet emulation actually has a net positive effect on their business in the long run by exposing people to older games that may not be available for digital download. This in turn can lead to sales for newer titles.
But if a lawyer is looking simply at the here and now emulation can take away potential sales from the Nintendo eshop and they are well within their right to shoot this down.
The amount of corporate dick-sucking that goes on around here is wild.
And it’s never in greater force than when it’s nintendo.
damn its to bad steam is the only way to get the dolphin emulator.
​
/sits back and waits for someone to post a leak
Sony and Microsoft hate Nintendo
Sega hates Nintendo
Valve hates Nintendo
Nintendo hates Nintendo
Damn Nintendo, it ruined Nintendo
wait, cant you get dolphin without Steam?
Can Nintendo fuck off
Gaming is pretty corporate in general
As is commenting on the internet
Nintendo is one game company I will certainly _never_ give a dollar to. If I can’t emulate it I won’t play it.
~~Nature~~ the internet find a way. It’s not gone.
Gamers are hilarious. Bitch non stop about companies not caring about the quality of game they release and the being like “Nintendo makes great games and it’s morally okay to pirate them.”
This is why you don’t get nice things.
Dolphin is on steam?
Honestly such a great picture for the article. It works on so many levels
So if I own a switch and the Mario game, is it illegal to play an emulator copy of a game I own??
Good thing there is the internet and PC is not a console… Haha
Can someone explain the problem with this? I thought pirating was a bad thing?
Can they really DMCA emulators? These software isn’t made by Nintendo and doesn’t use it’s bios.
Can’t you just download Dolphin without steam?
Nintendont.
cant you get dolphin without Steam?
genuinely confused as to how people thought a wii emulator could possibly be released on steam, was this like a – may as well give it a try thing – ?
I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but I remember a time when the upcoming Nintendo console was called the Nintendo Dolphin in the gaming magazines and such, but when it actually launched, it went to market as the GameCube. Just in case anyone doesn’t know why the emulator went with that name (presumably).
(OK, grandpa, let’s get you to bed)
Typical nintendo. Trying to break the law because they don’t like it.
The classic “Big corporation is bad” take. Let’s be honest how many people actually own the games they play on emulators.
