2024 seems to be the year of DMCAs. WOW.
Shoutouts to SRC267, Derek Turtle Roe, Pabload16, ActuallyTheOwner, reanimatedsunit2592, RoyalDemon, Juan Sanchez for the news tips!
Your welcome 🙏, DMCA AVALANCHE!
Nintendo becoming Black Hole of the Space of Emulation
Really this year’s been crazy for emulation in general. Especially with the DMCAs that are happening every few months.
And this all started with Yuzu and pretty much Nintendo is playing Whack a mole with tons of websites....
More like the year where all hope for the gaming industry dies.
Pirating Nintendo is starting to become a civic duty at this point.
I used to buy their games. Never Again. ONLY PIRACY.
Underground RoM parties
@@gnomatic lol I have always pirated all the Nintendo games😂
they don't deserve your money if this is what they're going to do with it.
Ignoring Nintendo into bankruptcy is the way.
Nintendo seems to have the money for law suits but couldn't build a beefy console.
That's a big part of why they have so much money. They don't loss leader the hardware, while keeping it the cheapest console, in addition to all the licensing.
Although, Steam Deck definitely increasing the heat
Its their modus operandi. Since the Wii era the will develop their consoles using the cheapest, and least powerful hardware on the market - even if they have better options *just for a few extra dollars* (Never forget that they had the option to use a Tegra X1 plus edition or even the Tegra X2 was just a few weeks away, and both where offered by NVDIA) but nope! They'll use the weakest of the weakest, the cheapest hardware and since the end product MSRP will look like a bargain to their fans, they get away with it all the time.
Lets not forget that they also wanted to release the Switch with a miserable 2GB or RAM, and decelopers basically had to demand more ram. Insane levels of cheapness and greed.
As another example, selling the Switch OLED at the current price is highway robbery, but the thing is still selling well, and the fanboys defend its current price. Theres a reason why Nintendo fanboys are nearly a cult.
It was beefy for a handheld when it released, I don't really get this argument bc most stuff on a market back then could barely give you same level of performance while also working for less than an hour if pushed to a similar level. Of course after 8 years it's not the best, but they're working on the new one so what's the problem lol
That would take effort
@@TakisEnjoyerNot really considering it can barely run emulation for most systems like Wii and others while most phones at the time were already capable of doing so with far better results
Man... Nintendo is getting even worse
It was always worse since very ealier days. Remember about UltraHLE take down?
Calm down dude, there are probably going to be thousands of more rom sites in result of this, think of this as a win for emulation.
Nintendo are on a roll because they are emboldened from their recent wins. People need to stop bowing down to pressure by settling it complying, and instead stand up to Nintendo in court.
@skycloud4802, I think you should think about what you just said.
@@skycloud4802 Lmao. This is so childish and naive lol. Hate to break it to you but Nintendo is just protecting their IPs. Save your ROMS boy. Gatekeep that shxt
imagine sending someone a DMCA to remove games, which you NO LONGER PHUCKING SELL to the public. what is the point? you no longer sell, support, nor make money off these OLD GAMES. smfh
Copyright used to expire after 14 years, and that was back when the world was a lot slower. In modern times, it should probably expire even faster, and the files Nintendo keeps suing over should have become public domain long ago.
It was never about the money with Nintendo. It is about control. They want you to only be able to play Nintendo games on the newest Nintendo console.
They don't sell them but that doesn't mean they'll never _try_ to again in the future. If they stopped doing so many DMCAs and takedowns their lawyers would have time to reacquire all the licenses that expired for the thousands of games they don't sell anymore so they _can_ resell them on the next eShop... that they'll inevitable close down in 7 years.
@@TheRealAlpha2then do takedowns AFTER you start providing an official and definitive method to play the games :3
@@TheRealAlpha2Bingo. Their greed is next level. They are also thinking about imaginary future revenue.
Most acronyms mean "subscribe to Mr. Sujano", but not DMCA. It stands for "big corporations being toxic".

I love Nintendo, very sad it is such a huge A-Hole now!
@@helmutstransky3761 great games, awful corporate practices
Somebody has made a Torrent file of all files on vimm from 3-31-2024.
Edit: you are going to require at least a 12TB HDD. It's a AIO archive.
where? can you say source?
Can I post links here?
I wouldn’t, I’d just private dm
Working on making a seed box with the archive, give me a couple of hours to setup.
Source: The original post was on 1337x, but apparently was taken down.
Unless the whole thing was zipped the torrent would allow you to chose only what you need
Nintendmca helped me realize I'm much happier as a PC gamer.
Wish Vimm would host their servers somewhere outside of US as well, where piracy is legal.
What countries where piracy is legal?
China, Russia, most of Eastern Europe and some South American countries.
@@driley1988 third world countries, most of them atleast.
@@youregonnahaveaskeletontim1925 I didn't know that, in that case I agree vimm should do that. Nintendo is getting out of hand and it's fanbase is cheering for this. (and I know it's not all them)
@@EmergencyChannelPiracy is not legal in those countries.
It is just overlooked
The more I hear about Nintendo pulling stuff like this, The more my mind is at ease with my collection of first party software of theirs in my ROM collection
Dang Nintendo is a out of control Tyrant running rampant
Man I sure hope someone ARCHIVEs all these (you know, to DOT the i’s) before this ORGanization gets taken down
Unfortunately the place where they keep them has been getting DDOS attacks recently.
It's days are numbered too.
a.o is under attack as well
I cant wait to start emulating switch 2 stuff
Same I also waiting for it and it tickles me that Nintendo have buttloads of cash in their arsenal and use it to sue so many website but dear lord they just can't make a good and powerful hardware console, tbh it's an insult to the gaming community in today's era of time
@@MuhammadUmar-ec9fkinstead of focusing on shutting down sites that take zero money away from them they should’ve put effort into a console that could run Minecraft at a decent pace… the Wiiu could do this.
download as much as u can.. find other websites.. Nintendo wont win the piracy war..
Time to get as many ROMs as possible before it's too late. It's not our fault we wanna experience their games at better quality. Meanwhile Sony hired the PCSX2 devs to help bring PS2 games to PS5.
So... We can expect PCSX2 to be hit with a DMCA in the near future? I mean, Sony has been making some bad decisions as of late. Why not DMCA the emulator of the people you just hired, and probably own now.
@@vicviper0017 Corpos can take down ROMs because they are copyrighted content. They cannot take down reverse-engineering code unless they can prove that the code was written with the help of internal documentation, which is considered trade secret. They can try to take down the screenshots of their games from the project's website and that's about it.
@@vicviper0017 while possible its unlikely. they are a bit more chill about their legacy games. but couldnt hurt to start finding roms anyways
@@vicviper0017I think you forgot that they already tried that way back in the day with bleem and haven’t bothered to attack any other emulation devs because even they know it’s legal to create an emulator as long as it’s not blatantly hosting copyrighted material.
WTF 🤬 Nintendo
Lmao long live emulation time to buy another handheld, I wont give nintendo a dime at this point
Looks like I'll never buy a Nintendo console first hand again. I'll buy it second hand on marketplace when custom firmware is available 😉
For anyone wondering about the DMCAs
This isn't the work of Nintendo fanboys, this is the work of Nintendo itself. Nintendo employed the services of MarkMonitor Inc., which is where the mm-nintendo email comes from. Basically, MarkMonitor specializes in protecting their clients' (Nintendo and others) intellectual property by utilizing AI driven software they've written to identify any content related to their clients that is being used against their clients' will.
TL;DR: Nintendo employed a company called MarkMonitor Inc., that made their own CZcams IP identification AI, but for the entire Internet (not just CZcams) that has been issuing all of these DMCAs.
I can't want for someone to retaliate against Mark Monitor. Please.
Oh! Thanks for this interesting info.
So these rom sites may potentially cease to exist... Yikes this is distopian.
So these rom sites may potentially cease to exist... Yikes this is distopian.
I like the fact you provided a TL;DR to an already short paragraph! :D
Intead of making new games they're chasing after old games
This has to be the worst year for emulation...
Nintendo is going insane lol
And not funny at all 😠
Hi Wumbee
The harder they fight us, the harder I gladly pirate, and fight to do so.
Honestly with stuff like this I can totally see why people hate Nintendo so much.
Oh god,not Vimm Lair
Here's an idea:
If you know a rom site, don't talk about it online because popularity results in takedowns and more games are dying because of it.
mainstream is poison
Nintendo hates fun
Never seen a company so contempt that people wanna play their old catalog of games.
Iwattas death destroyed the common sense of that company it seems, Miyamoto should be ashamed of himself...
@@blok--head7472 exactly. Makes me wonder if this is why Reggie stepped down along with Kit and Krysta.
Kit and Krysta stepped down when Nintendo was moving offices and they didn’t want to move themselves, has nothing to do with the whole copyright topic.
This kinda stuff was happening in Reggie and Iwata’s era too-they were charismatic leaders but it’s not like Nintendo just suddenly became anal about copyright out of nowhere when they left.
@@jxwong_3982 No, it's worse they've been doing it far longer than this. Nintendo is going to be irrelevant.
@@Fayt540 Yes, I'm well aware. Reggie and Iwata did not start a litigious culture at Nintendo, and neither did they do anything to stop it. In fact, the Nintendo Creators' Programme, a major blight on Nintendo's fan interactions, was introduced during Reggie and Iwata's times in office and only scrapped near the end of Reggie's period.
As for whether Nintendo is going to be made irrelevant by these decisions...I have my doubts. One area where Nintendo's usual strategy helps them here is that by targeting the most general and casual demographics, Nintendo actively reaches people who are less likely to follow gaming discourse or make decisions that are as informed as more "hardcore" gamers about Nintendo's decisions in the first place. These people are more likely to default to and support Nintendo simply on the basis of their games being fun and their name being good among the general public, while casting a less critical eye on some of their choices. And I don't really see that changing heavily even with the litigious choices they've made.
Of course it COULD change with a longer period of time and longer exposure to such decisions, but that remains to be seen and I don't think Nintendo has broached that point just yet.
I’m glad that I’m not the only person who fell in hate with Nintendo crappiness, I never like them and I hope they never win against these dmca nonsense, I love the emulations and I always do, long live the emulations!
I honestly think the reason why all these companies are jumping on the “DMCA” bandwagon is because if Apple. They now allow emulators. Now the rich people who spend over $1,500 on the latest & greatest iPhone doesn’t need to give their children a Switch or any Nintendo game period to their kids for birthdays or Xmas when they can either do the emulation themselves or pay someone to do it for them…
the rich people you're describing have no issues buying a switch and games for their kids though. They also probably wouldn't be willing to put in the time and effort to understand getting games and putting them in the correct place for the emulators to even use them.
Notice it's a lot of Japanese companies, their laws are different regarding mods and emulation. Also Switch 2 incoming so they are trying to disrupt the piracy communities as much as possible.
I don't think Apple emulation is really a big deal, anybody savvy enough to load roms and configure controllers etc. probably has an Android or gaming PC already. Problem with emulation is you need to fix problems as they crop up. You don't want to be fixing problems on people's devices all the time, explaining fps drops, most emulators crash pretty often too. Most kids can get more mileage out of a $200 Switch with Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Fortnite, Minecraft, not that expensive considering less hassle vs emulation
Oh Noo… Vimm’s Lair was my go-to. It’s so sad to see it gutted like this, with little chance of recovery.
It's not Nintendo itself, it's the Nintendo fanboys doing this
Disgusting behavior
This is why being a Nintendo fanboy makes one target of ridicule
Is there any proof of that? Not to come off aggressive but this does make sense for Nintendo.
@@rargafragaman I sincerely hope for Nintendo that it's fanboys, and that they don't actually pay people to rummage through github repositories and find encrypted links to prod.keys because man what a colossal waste of time and resources.
I think so too. Definitely reeks of Nintendo fanboys having too much time on their hands
It's also Apple IPhone users too.
@@rargafragaman Don't get divided and conquered by Nintendo, it's them.
it's happening. i hope everyone got backups. i wanna say if they destroy enough old games, players will have nothing to compare modern "games" to, and that business modelwill be normalized
Luckily people already have backups of those games and they’ve hosted them on other sites that I can’t list publicly because there’s a good chance this will happen again, but your point still strongly applies.
At this point, I guess I'll be DMCAd by Nintendo too for making fanart
They'd be looking for your address right now if they could find an actionable law to use against you.
Yeah, i got to have Ultra-Shounen-Kai-Z's drawing of Vivian (and other nintendo characters) to archive. i got a few mockups from SupaStarFox on this computer, mainly for archival purposes, but i won't release them, becuase he now says that people shouldn't upload his works now that he's not active anymore and wants his work to be lost media and that nobody should upload them.
It’s actually already happened before, albeit largely with NSFW fan art that Nintendo thinks poses a risk to their “family-friendly” image.
Oh they wanna strongarm it? How about we stop giving Nintendo our money
You are a genius. But people are not so genius.
Easier said than done, the vocal minority won’t make a difference in the grand scheme of things
Telling people to not give Nintendo any money is like telling apple fanboys to not spend money on apple. It's a noble gesture, but the people in most need to heed the message won't actually listen to it. Nintendo (and to degree all gaming console makers) have a cult-like personality backing them no many how anticonsumer they become.
@@zergslayer69 I'm not so sure about that, let's say 3% of Nintendo's customers stop buying their products out of protest, which I think is a reasonable number, that would probably already be enough to make them stop messing with the community because it's less profitable. Of course this is not based on any numbers or data I'm just guessing here
Boycotts almost never work. To really fix it, we need to fix the laws, to regulate big corporations and hopefully overhaul the entire intellectual property system. DRM should be illegal, and copyrights should expire much, much faster.
I hate Nintendo so much it's unreal. Greetings from America
Hate Nintendo, from somewhere terrible.
@@sam1_2_1 Is it ALSO America?
@@mopspear No. It's somewhere terrible.
If you hate Nintendo then the DMCA's don't affect you, because you wouldn't play the games anyway.
stop playing Nintendo games if you hate them so much lol
i knew gamebanana was going to be targeted next since people started saying "please don't let them find out about gamebanana" on Twitter/X when the GMOD takedowns were happening.
KEEP YOUR MOUTHS SHUT FFS!
I'd like to know which mods were hit. And I'd like to see Nintendo get smacked down by some "anti-slapp" lawsuits.
@@ToyKeeper yeah. No list is public. So idk which ones were taken down. The ones that are known are nude mods (no surprise there)
@@Blood-PawWerewolf Why no surprise there? There's nothing special about nudity in copyright law. Nintendo just doesn't like it... which isn't really relevant legally.
I hope Nintendo gets severe bad karma for all of this.
This is their karma. Piracy forever.
they can never stop emulation. there are still plenty of places to get roms it literally takes 2 seconds to find
I'm really sad this happened to Vimm's Lair. All their hardwork went to nothing. Nintendo shouldn't have done that. Now, there are online sellers of their games, who are reaping the fruits of other's labor, and i mean the labor that ROMsites did, for money. 🤦
Vimm was fine but people started bringing it up. Now that people know its there sadly it wont last long. Very Upsetting. People just need to keep making new sites and keep it underground. These companies have no respect for creative freedom and game preservation. Most of these games havent been released in Decades and these companies just dont like that people have chosen to go back to when they made good games rather then deal with the modern garbage. It's funny how these companies expect people to pay hundreds of dollars to resellers rather then just letting them enjoy games via an emulator. Also no, I won't pay for a subscription service to play games I already own either, Nintendo.
If I ever do fork over for a switch, I refuse to buy their online service.
He'll, their online isn't even that stable anyways, judging from the amount of lag Smash Bros's online has.
Might as well close Vimms Vault as keep getting DMCAed until all have gone
All that will do is make nintendo go after the next site. It will vindicate them.
This all started when Apple allowed emulators. Now Nintendo is scared…
@@spenserbeckerszs happened before That but iOS has brought in newbies
It Nintendos fault if you think about it.
They popularize the topic of 'emulation' that if they would have shut up about it then there is a chance the Damage would be 70 times less but nooooo.
Now face the wrath of publicly N for not giving a flying .... to people who genuinely like you or at least use to like you.
@@MuhammadUmar-ec9fk sadly Nintendo don’t think that way but true they do something to a Roms Site then more people hear about Roms and want to get them
Romhacking might be the next one hit with a DMCA
It would be war if they do, at that point they should just DMCA google for showing people images of nindo products when they search for them.
DMCAs for mods in single player games make absolutely no sense. And I really feel that Nintendo doesn't understand the purpose of sites like Vimm. The only ROMs I've ever downloaded are for games I already own or that aren't available for sale.
Unfortunately not everyone is that moral. That's why they call it "piracy" and not "lawful downloads of games you already own."
@@TheRealAlpha2 Vimm doesn't even distribute games for consoles that are currently on sale though. I get that everyone isn't that moral, and I was actually behind Nintendo in going after the people that were behind the TotK piracy, because that just hurts the industry. But going after mods and ROMs of old ass games only hurts their brand and public image. Especially going after mod makers. Like, that's just attacking your own fanbase.
Im sure this has been cooking for a while, but the sudden influx of newcomers to the emulation scene on the Fruit Phone and breaking the first rule of fight club on Twitter probably hasnt helped.
Dang noobs
"First rule of Fightclub, you do not expose everything about fightclub to the public."
Pretty sure that's what Brad Pit meant.
I'm taking all these ROMs with me straight to *RUSSIA.*
Preservation is really in danger lately 😔
Hey man is there a way to use motion sensor in vita3k? I've been playing a game but on the last level it requires motion sensor. I've been moving my phone Left or right But it doesn't do anything. Could anyone help?
Nintendo's just too greedy or too idiotic to understand they're killing their business not promoting
Unfortunately i have to disagree. For every person reaching this logical conclusion, theres 20 die hard fans who see nothing wrong with their insane levels of cheapness and greed. They do minimum effort and get rewarded with maximum profits
@@J.A.Z-TheMortal
And for every one of those diehard fans there's a hundred that's not, and I do understand where Nintendo's coming from cuz trust me I bought my son a switch and he'd much rather play the retro games you know they're trying to snuff it all out so all you have is what they the crap they produce and shove down your throat and well it doesn't work
Nintendo will eventually fade. And they will sit in the corner all alone wishing they had customers.
No they won't. Nintendo is not going to die anytime soon. Nor is Sony or Microsoft or any of them. They make more than enough money from the "loyal customers" to stay afloat for a long long time
@@Ashurman666>long long time
Implying they will fade... Eventually. Mental gymnastics moment.
@@detectivefischer6396 They will fade when videogaming fades. Otherwise...
Definitely not because of these DMCAs. These companies already don’t earn money from them in any way, and they would only lose less than 1% of their customers. Chances are, if you’re pirating Nintendo, you obviously love their games, so you’ll likely buy their new ones.
@@VR_Man_ HELL NAH TO THE NAH NAH NAH
Vimm's lair was the best 😭😭😭
meh it ws slow ass molasses
@@polarvortex6601 skill issue
Got all my roms from it, fast and reliable
I've loved Nintendo games my whole life, but at this point I hope their next system bombs and the masses just pirate their stuff. I'd rather see the company fail and their talented devs go elsewhere.
Reminder: the vimm lair strike was not just nintendo. Corporations are not your friend.
Nintendo is doing bad stuff just like they hit emuparadise even worst in the past, and Vimm lair alot of DMCA This year you got to be kidding, i don't get excited for nintendo direct this year. even worse nintendo Sues yuzu, suzu, and Aethersx2 shut down, and lemonade emulator is gone. just max remove cartoon network shows. I don't like DMCA it has to stop. I'm Emulators/Roms supporter.
Nintendo got far too comfortable when they managed to take down Yuzu and what is really annoying is they think that sending dmca notices to gamebannana for mods is way too far modding isn't going to harm the company so why try and take down mods
Nintendo is notorious for hating their fans and community. They take down roms, mods, free fan games, free fan remakes, tournaments they aren't directly involved in, youtube letsplays, streams, music. They're horrific as a company, they just got lucky in that their game devs are wonderful.
I can't believe they are going after game mods. Who cares!!?? A mod doesn't change their sales revenues. Sheesh!
I got Teknoparrot a few days ago for Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, H2Overdrive and the Batman Batmobile game.
H20verdrive is legit underrated.
Heres the real question. What can be done to stop Nintendo?
I've done my part by not buying anything from their products as of late, which does nothing in the longrun.
How do we as gamers salvage something they try so hard to destroy? Sure you can make other domains, but I feel they'll eventually catch up tear it all down.
Wished there was a law to prevent them from destroying their own history like this.
You could sue them, but it would take years and a ton of money and they'll most likely win. You could stop buying Nintendo games but that's not going to stop everyone from buying them and Nintendo would just do all this even more. The only thing I can think of that would actually make a difference is a change in leadership with someone younger who could actually see the benefits of things like game preservation and CZcams and mods. Everyone in leadership positions over at Nintendo right now are dinosaurs.
I think that yuzu take down is what’s giving Nintendo a bloated ego cause now they DMCA anything related to they’re content, I hope Ryujinx fights back instead of keeling over in a day like the yuzu creators did
I can see Nintendo would dmca people who using Nintendo instruments in their songs. Because "It's not your property". Nintendo is like that kid who say "It's all mine! Not yours!!"
People should start boycott Nintendo.
Vimms Lair keeps getting beat up, I hope they're okay over there. As for the Xbox handheld, I hope its a solid device and not just some tablet dock.
Besides Nintendo, Sega and ESA, what has to do with Lego anyways? Besides their games from TT Games and WB, I pretty assuming it also includes games before the TT Games era and many of their games before 2005 were not available for so long on something like Steam and GOG for the most part.
It doesn't include their pre-TT games or Bionicle Heroes, though it does include later games that also aren't being sold anywhere, including the first two LSW games, the GBA and DS TT games, Lego Battles, Lego Rock Band, etc.
@@Ringtail Ah yes indeed plus I forgot to put them as well and yeah of course.
Nintendo is going crazy. There soon going to end everything
I’m just here to say if you still are looking for Nintendo games people internet archive is also a great place to look screw Nintendo since they want to pull this I will keep telling everyone I know about emulation and the alternatives to vimms before it was just a personal hobby but since Nintendo wants to be this way…
That Mario AI sure scouring the net looking for anything.
This DMCA of Vimm's lair is very bad. We have got our first take down of Sonic ROMs from SEGA (maybe they will start taking down sonic fan projects in the next few weeks), and our first WiiWare takedowns. and you just thought only Nintendo can do DMCAs to Vimm's Lair? SIKE! SEGA (as proven on top), Lego, and the ESA (proven with the wiiware takedowns as i saw megaman 9 be taken down) can do DMCAs as well. i am very worried that SEGA, Lego, and the ESA (and maybe other gaming companies) will find Nintendo a Role Model and take down fan projects and ROMs as well.
iphone using zoomies won't shut up about roms sites. This is way gatekeeping is vital in some circumstances.
Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 just dropped on Game pass ultimate
I’m happy I got a whole lot of the roms I wanted when I had the chance.
I'll be raged if they hit the music on Zophar's Domain.
I'm glad I pulled all those ROMs a year ago😊
Least still have Github to grab the stuff Like the setup files for the emulators
I think these waves of Nintendo DMCAs are definitely indicative of not only the company swinging wild and free at potential infringements in the wake of the Yuzu lawsuit (“cleaning up” the job) but also a newfound willingness to rely on AI takedowns (through their third-party contractor MarkMonitor) to systematically sweep the Internet of fanmade content, preserved ROMs and emulation at a far greater capacity and scope than ever before. All of which ultimately serves to strengthen their own aggressive stance on copyright and make their IP-landlording approach even more restrictive.
All this should be a portent of trouble brewing on the horizon for fans. With the tools now at their disposal, Nintendo can and likely will carry out attacks on fan work and emulation much more widely and frequently than they’ve ever done in the past. Time will tell if this crusade of theirs ultimately finally breaks through critical mass and garners enough fan attention to cause a true rebellion, or if Nintendo’s focus on casual audiences is robust enough to allow them to sneak through waves of draconian takedowns without so much as drawing the eye of the majority of their consumers.
Emulators are like hydra, cut a head and two other will grow.
Thank you Nintendo, your actions is making emulation stronger.
Get your games while you can and back them up locally, Nintendo are being pricks again
Sega too, Rockstar too.
Literally every Companies
@@AntiGrieferGames yeah they do this stuff too, but Nintendo games are the only ones I emulate really. Moral of the story, back up what you want before it’s gone
If you had the original media they were on and dumped them yourself then yeah it's your game. Getting them from a third party site does not make them yours (unless it was something that was FOSS then 100% yeah it's yours)
@@doniarts bought original media for these games multiple times over. Never dumped anything myself. But its semantics at this point because Nintendo doesn’t want a way for the games to be “yours”
@@doniarts the problem is that it doesn’t matter to Nintendo whether you originally dumped the copy yourself or not, they still view emulation, of any kind, as piracy even after the courts in America have told them otherwise
Also Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is coming so idk if anyone here anticipate for it
I wonder why Sega has DMCAed some games on Vimms...are they games on Nintendo systems?
Yet another reason to never give nintendo a dime
Nintendo has got the best customers ever lol. They get fed slop, get treated like garbage, and still slurp up everything nintendo oozes out lol. Well, Nintendo and Apple
Ini! makes me sick man.
Bunch of simple jack NPCs is what they are
100% true
Thing about Nintendo and Apple is that the consumer base they appeal to already affords them a great advantage. Both of them target a wider, “lay” demographic who are less savvy with the market for their respective products and the discourse surrounding them, and are easier to sway into buying the products more because of their good name among the public as a result. This lack of wider awareness also means Nintendo and Apple can get away with more among their communities, who lack an informed basis of comparison for many of their decisions.
Ultimately I can’t really say it’s the fans’ fault for exercising their free choice to buy whatever they like, and I think it’s not reasonable to expect people to research the market thoroughly for EVERY purchase they make, but this particular factor explains why Nintendo and Apple are able to get away with a lot that other companies with more “savvy” consumer bases might not be able to sneak past their own consumers as effectively.
I've long decided Nintendo doesn't need my money. Never again.
Same. I swore that Tears of the Kingdom would be my last Nintendo game and I haven't bought anything from Nintendo since.
Nintendo really needs to chillax, it's getting ridiculous or better yet, set some real guidelines (no emulation is not acceptable), for what is acceptable to emulate and what isn't (a year range should be set for what is okay and what is a no go).
They'd just say it's all bad, period. why would they give a range of acceptable use when they can just bully their way through it all?
Brutal for people who want to play fan translations
Omg. I just used game banana to make Super Mario Sunburn two days ago.
When all these rom sites are taken down you will never again see such a large catalog due to IP lawyers, infighting, greed, missing members of the development team, and incompetence. I'm about to cancel my internet.
PIRATE from companies even more so, that go after it's fans like this
I wouln't have considered buying a switch if it were not for the retro games out and about. Leaving places like Vimms alone I believe actually drives sales of current and future tech.
WTF is wrong with Nintendo?
Better question is what isn't?
Everything about their rigid approach to IP management has been IP landlording for the longest time. The rigid restrictions on fans, the draconian approach to anything that could even be considered the slightest trespass, and the overall domineering attitudes to control and availability are all in line with what you’d see of an abusive landlord, albeit one dealing in intellectual and not real property.
I think its time for class action lawsuits. We as consumers need to be protected. Game companies can take away games at any time. Not cool bro. This is for preservation purposes. Not for illegally distributing. We need back ups. I think back ups should be legal.
Just gotta push even harder against Nintendont now.
Things like this is why i don't feel guilty about pirating their games. F*ck Nintendo!!!
Decided longer time ago that i will only pirate Nintendo games - especially the newer ones.
They get no cent from me anymore
These actions only amplify the importance of emulation
Does anyone know what games are gone from the list of there games y'all?? @MrSujano will you do a video about that?
just go to the page select any game and this will show : Download unavailable at the request of sega, nintendo etc
Bro lol Nintendo really wanting to piss the fans off even more
Shareholders: You know these fans keep wanting to release these games on the current gen console maybe we shoul--
Nintendo: NO! GET THE LAWYERS OUT HERE ASAP, WE NEED TO TAKE DOWN THESE PIRATING WEBSITES SO THEY'LL BE FORCED TO ENJOY THE GAMES WE DISTRIBUTED WHENEVER WE WANT.
I have a Feeling that the vims lair one is a dmca troll
Really saddened by the news smh.. I checked the vault earlier and yup, pretty much all of the notable Nintendo games(and many more) are gone. Luckily, I was able to still download Luigi’s Mansion for some reason, but that was about it.. 😞
Nintendo and getting away with literally anything, name a more iconic duo.
This is why people like Vimm need to upload their entire databases onto sites like Ru Tracker where there's enough people to keep the entire database decentralized.
that applies torrent or p2p for romset as backups
Im officially going to back up all roms before it gets hard to find this stuff. I had a feeling vimms lair was going to be next. SMH
so glad i pirated all the pokemon games before this happened-
they took down sonic rush.. 😮
Certain companies are really sad that the exclusively Arcade model of customer video-game 'ownership' died. Money speaks louder than whining and complaining. Don't be weak, if you really want things to change, then vote with your wallet.
