Here's another "news tip": having emulators approved by a corporation to appear on its walled garden ISN'T a huge win. A huge win would be to have the AppStore or IOS cracked open to be able to install any emulator without having to ask permission to daddy Apple.
PS5 sells consoles and games because they care about being the best console gaming company, and emulation benefits them because people get nostalgic about their brand and buy more PlayStation products. Nintendo’s business model is to repackage Mario and Zelda and their other exclusive IPs to moms and children over and over and over again so they are extremely protective over their IP because it’s all they got. They know their consoles are 12 years behind in tech so they can’t get sales by selling impressive modern games, and can’t get all 3rd party games, but they only have their kids IP. If kids can play their IP for free they lose half their business. They also love selling you the NES Super Mario Bros over and over and over and over again. That’s why Nintendo is trolling emulation. Mario may look cute but Nintendo’s soul is black as night.
@@amankumarjha4530 That’s where Nintendo is most evil i think, because they go way too far protecting their IP because they don’t want you to play any GameCube games for free so you would buy the 5 GameCube games they do choose to sell in their current store.
@@amankumarjha4530 even if you can, most people will now start selling the Gamecube for the highest price. specially if they're in a good condition. & if you get the Gamecube for cheap, they'll just rip you off & you'll ending up getting a console that can't even turn on. this is the reason why i been telling everyone that emulations are more convenient. 3 words: long live emulations.
The weird thing is Nintendo can't stop China. China is literally selling every Nintendo game for cheap. It's pretty funny. I think I have every Nintendo game thanks to China. It's only a matter of time until they start selling Nintendo switch roms.
Those anti-emulation trolls remind of those people who feel compelled to key the brand new shiny cars of others. These kind of people see others happy, and they can not stand it. Their happiness is built on the unhappiness of others...and that is a very very sad thing.
Vimm is still online. I just checked the big Nintendo titles (on multiple consoles) and they're still there and downloadable. It was obviously a dumb troll messing with Vimm.
Remember the console wars in the 90’s? Nintendo quit competing in the console wars already when the N64 came out because they stopped caring about having the best hardware and mostly just focused being the choice console for families. So they quit the console war business and started their own IP war business, because for Nintendo to survive and keep selling the same Mario games over and over again it needs to protect it’s IP. So instead of Nintendo being at war against Sega, they are at war against gaming fans, so they can keep owning their niche in the gaming world.
Thank you for continuing to talk about Stop Killing Games. I think it's something super important for us all to be aware of as people who care about game preservation and consumer protection.
I fully support SKG. In my county, there are several game resellers and hobby stores that are extremely popular and have been for many years. While it’s only a portion of their business, it is significant.
Honestly, I'm surprised that the Stop Killing Games petition got even the answer it did; the UK government has a well-established track record of simply dismissing petitions outright, and often rudely.
@@MrSujano Fingers crossed, but any action will be a long ways off unless we get a particularly savvy MP who decides to use it as a way to reach voters. The people running the country still think banning all encryption on the internet would be a good thing; they're not exactly clued up when it comes to issues in the tech space - and even less so with regards to video games. There's a long slog ahead, but at least the ball is rolling now.
You REQUIRE internet connection to download a single-player game even when you already have the physical disc? Why, Ubisoft? What's the point of even buying it physically?
@@zergslayer69 - Yes as Klaus says from the world economic forums, you will own nothing, and be happy, as there slaves. Newest thing to come out of there camp, to make cash illegal to own.
Me too. I got a iphone 13 I don't use anymore so I'll test them out later on. Retroarch is probably the most important one. I do most emulation on my s24 ultra tho.
I agree especially since RetroArch seems to be the thing average users know about rather than about any other emulator. And it exists for Android too, so all the kids and retired PC users can just adopt their knowledge on iDevices too.
Having emulators approved by a corporation to appear on its walled garden ISN'T a huge win. A huge win would be to have the AppStore or IOS cracked open to be able to install any emulator without having to ask permission to daddy Apple.
What’s funny / intriguing is all the vimms stuff is older it’s not like it’s switch stuff . It’s not exactly hard to find a set with everything just out there.
This hasn’t stopped them from going after other emulation ROM-hosting sites in the past, unfortunately. Distributing ROMs is on a far worse legal position than making an emulator. Nintendo also safeguards the ability to compel fans to depend solely on their own pipelines for their retro games very heavily, so them not selling a game NOW doesn’t preclude them from selling it in the future, and in their view the only way they can maintain that dominant position is by stamping out emulation (the only reasonable alternative for fans to use).
Hah! Just installed RetroArch and PPSSPP on my iPhone 11 and iPad. As soon as I have time, I am going configure them and test some games out with my D8 telescopic game pad. Seems I'll be travelling light on vacation this year! :)
As long as law does not prevent corporations from taking games, piracy is 110% the morally correct solution. Backing up clean Romsets as I type this :)
Joined up with the "Stop Killing Games Campaign" - I commend these people for taking the time and resources to fight this through bureaucratic legal channels - But unlike most nice people if we can't win through legal channels, I'm fine with finding innovative ways to drastically run up costs for bad publishers in other ways.
I think it needs to be stressed that Vimm's Lair as a whole has not been taken down. The site is still up and there's plenty of content. As for the Nintendo side of things its really quite odd that only select games from certain systems would be DMCA. If this was really Nintendo they wouldve gone all in and had Vimm shut down ALL Nintendo content. You can still download Gamecube games among other things. Im really hoping this is just trolls and the 717 games will be restored
Finally RetroArch on IPhone no more side loading it. Still had a RetroArch backup folder on my phone and just copy and pasted it to the RetroArch folder and everything is set no configuration 😊.
Glad I downloaded a ton of games for different platforms off of Vimm's Lair. It's not the entire catalog but I have most of the milestone games of each console.
I am so glad to finally see RetroArch and PPSSPP on the App Store! Now I won't have to side load it every 7 days. 😂😂 This will probably keep me from buying one of them Chinese retro handhelds for a while too.
For everyone wondering it's pretty much confirmed that for DMCA takedown for vimm's lair were trolls because one of the games the DMC takedown was a Japanese drawn to Life game that has the word marionette in the name and it was dmca takedown because of Mario
Can someone let me know how MSX2 emulation and Saturn emulation works on the iOS version of Retroarch? Been wanting to play Snatcher SD and Panzer Dragoon Saga for a while
The UK Government is attempting to obfuscate in order to brush things off. But my MP is not going to be able to slip away at all. It will take a large effort to make anybody in UK elite circles to listen.
If Vimms Lair goes down I'll never forgive Nintendo. That's the one site everyone trusts. It sucks because in the case of it gets taken offline. We as consumers can't do anything. Granted there are other sites. I just love Nintendo such a nice company. 😢
Here is my two pennies on the Vimms DMCA... So after going through the list and finding almost every game that was hit. One of em is a strange one LoZ TP being one but only the Wii version and not the Gamecube one. I think this is Nintendo gearing up for a new Switch Online platform, being the Wii. All games that was hit are part of the Switch Online eco system. NES, SNES, N64, GBA, GBC, so I think the Wii and some DS games will be heading over to the service. Someone that is known for Nintendo leaks was also reported saying something about this too. It is a very big list with some heavy hitters among the list so if true, while bad for game preservation it is good for Nintendo users to play some of these again.
Love these anti-consumer practices making pirates out of people who originally supported these particular devs. Keep supporting indie developers, let's face it, most of the best modern games are by Indie developers anyway.
SKG went about it the wrong way. The argument ought to be for the allowing of DRM-FREE options of all games. This ensures consumers will have a chance to own a game offline after a game is no longer available digitally on a store and/or issues with licenses cannot be resolved. It would also shift gaming away from "live" services as live service games do not satisfy DRM-free or it will force corporate publishers to focus their resources to ensure all their games are playable offline as well instead of having to make two versions online only and offline. DRM-free would also be applied able with movies and become an even bigger argument for being consumer friendly as well as media preservation.
at least they tell you on the front of box you have to download assets to play the game. many games now days do and don't really tell you without scouring the print all over the back.
So glad I pretty much just finished up downloading every game that's worth anything from NES all the way up to GC and PS2. Multiple back ups. Feels good
even besides the vimm news (it's mostly been confirmed a troll by them taking down Drawn to Life, a game not published by nintendo and only caught because of it having mario in the name), ios users are finally getting the best of the best of emulators and denuvo being removed is always a small but important victory. it's a good news day overall! even with the shakiness of online service game news, im glad there's a site for checking if it requires online play before purchase
Mixed feelings, I’m glad to see retroarch coming, specially when delta is still not available in Europe. But the DMCA on vimm’s lair is really a shame !
I would love to support the stop killing games camping but unfortunately I haven't bought the game and apparently can't do much unless I'm personally affected. I would 100% contact the government if there was a clear way of doing so that did not involve having to pull up receipts from purchase of the game.
It's up to the courts to interpret UK law, not the Government. The government just legislates, otherwise they could change the meaning of laws at their whim and nobody would know where they stand.
Im never going to buy another Ubisoft game again after what happened to the crue and I really feel bad for the crue community that can't play that game anymore.
I was just on vimms last night getting ps2 box art and now this happens? Someone's spying on me or something. lol Edit: Looks like it's only Nintendo's own stuff like mario and pokemon that got taken down. I can see other stuff is still there, like secret of mana.
in my honest opinion. the emulators being allowed is not a good enough tradeoff to lose vimms, vimm has been around for years offering uncapped download speeds no ads and no popups which is actually unheard of when it comes to downloading roms or really anything online anymore
This is supposedly the worl of trolls, coz only a select few of the games are gone. Notably anything that contains the word "mario" even a non mario game got taken down coz it has the word "marionette". Pokemon too, they're still up most of them. Not to mention GC is still up and completely untouched Also we really shouldn't be brining more attention to these sites coz then they'll probably ACTUALLY get taken down
I had a iphone 12 and I upgraded to the s24 for emulation. I'm in the UK and didn't realise I would get exynos 2400 and not the snap dragon. The phone is terrible can't even handle wii it's so far behind the s23 it's disgusting. And now apple is getting emulators anyway. I'm so gutted I didn't upgrade to a new iphone 😭
If they want to be able to remove games like the Crew and many others.. before you even purchase online or in a store there should be one page of terms of service that tells you exactly that. If this wasn't forced let's say even digitally where it says we may take this game down at any time and make it unplayable and you will never get your money back. That would hurt sales so I hope they keep on fighting cuz we I hope they keep on fighting because we need something to protect the consumers as it is we're getting half-baked shipped games ... For most releases sure we have some gems here and there. We're paying good money do people remember before patches and updates games had to be completed. Now we're rewarding companies when they come out with somewhat fully working games we give them kudos credit and so much love for coming out with a game the way it was supposed to be. Very happy for Apple consumers finally they can use their device for some really good emulation! Hopefully this brings in tons more viewers to this channel and also the retro scene itself when people start realizing the good games the games that were fun they don't just bring back good memories they are great games and that's why we're here!
Ask yourself, why now? Why has Nintendo suddenly after all these years decided to come after the emulation and game preservation communities? It is corporate Dystopia showing its real head.
Thanks for confirming Assassins Creed will have a physical release I'm just sad there forcing the internet connection for physical copies I was looking forward to this to but now ill have to pass,as for Nintendo they going wild
i can’t imagine this much trolling going on for a company that doesn’t care about preservation (hardware/software), is set in their old fashion ways, and seems to do the bare minimum while the average person takes it and runs. what’s even the reason for it? Nintendo already puts themselves in a weird spotlight as it is with how they continue to lack and do the bare minimum, but why are people thinking they are trying to help them with this DMCA nonsense for games that don’t even exists on shelves anymore?

Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo. It feels like all three got together one day and decided this year they were going to ramp up the stupidity.
Im never going to buy another Ubisoft game again after what happened to the crue and I really feel bad for the crue community that can't play that game anymore.
Mommy's little heroes are protecting poor little Nintendo.
Was a Troll
Nintendo stuff back up
*Sees Denuvo in title*
*Gets hopeful*
*Turns out it's been removed from a game no one wanted anyway*
No surprise the UK Goverment falls on companies side of course.
I was just on vimms last night getting ps2 box art and now this happens? Someone's spying on me or something. lol
Edit: Looks like it's only Nintendo's own stuff like mario and pokemon that got taken down. I can see other stuff is still there, like secret of mana.
Ps2 emulator on iPhone will be a game changer
This is why I got myself as many games as I could after the Yuzu situation. Glad I did. Retroarch is awesome though!
Best news! 😊
in my honest opinion. the emulators being allowed is not a good enough tradeoff to lose vimms, vimm has been around for years offering uncapped download speeds no ads and no popups which is actually unheard of when it comes to downloading roms or really anything online anymore
This is supposedly the worl of trolls, coz only a select few of the games are gone. Notably anything that contains the word "mario" even a non mario game got taken down coz it has the word "marionette". Pokemon too, they're still up most of them. Not to mention GC is still up and completely untouched
Also we really shouldn't be brining more attention to these sites coz then they'll probably ACTUALLY get taken down
I'm glad things finally going to iod but I hope they don't leave android by the way side
I had a iphone 12 and I upgraded to the s24 for emulation. I'm in the UK and didn't realise I would get exynos 2400 and not the snap dragon. The phone is terrible can't even handle wii it's so far behind the s23 it's disgusting. And now apple is getting emulators anyway. I'm so gutted I didn't upgrade to a new iphone 😭
If i would require interernet connection, then ill do anyway prefer f2p over a pay to play game.
Yuzu, Citra, and now Vimm's Lair. Nintendo is not yet satisfied for taking down the sites.
It’s not on the App Store. I just looked it up.
It's a good day for IPhone user.
Not vimms. 😢
If they want to be able to remove games like the Crew and many others.. before you even purchase online or in a store there should be one page of terms of service that tells you exactly that.
If this wasn't forced let's say even digitally where it says we may take this game down at any time and make it unplayable and you will never get your money back.
That would hurt sales so I hope they keep on fighting cuz we I hope they keep on fighting because we need something to protect the consumers as it is we're getting half-baked shipped games ... For most releases sure we have some gems here and there.
We're paying good money do people remember before patches and updates games had to be completed.
Now we're rewarding companies when they come out with somewhat fully working games we give them kudos credit and so much love for coming out with a game the way it was supposed to be.
Very happy for Apple consumers finally they can use their device for some really good emulation!
Hopefully this brings in tons more viewers to this channel and also the retro scene itself when people start realizing the good games the games that were fun they don't just bring back good memories they are great games and that's why we're here!
Frown for sure. Vimm's Lair may as well be a videogame museum. I hope it's just trolls.
Noooooo!!!!! I’m still using vimm lair’s!! I’m sad now.
What games were taken down from Vimm's??
Ask yourself, why now? Why has Nintendo suddenly after all these years decided to come after the emulation and game preservation communities? It is corporate Dystopia showing its real head.
There are hundreds of rom sites out there plus gits and archives. Nintendo's games will always be available.
Thanks for confirming Assassins Creed will have a physical release I'm just sad there forcing the internet connection for physical copies I was looking forward to this to but now ill have to pass,as for Nintendo they going wild
At what point do we admit that there IS a point to piracy?
i can’t imagine this much trolling going on for a company that doesn’t care about preservation (hardware/software), is set in their old fashion ways, and seems to do the bare minimum while the average person takes it and runs. what’s even the reason for it? Nintendo already puts themselves in a weird spotlight as it is with how they continue to lack and do the bare minimum, but why are people thinking they are trying to help them with this DMCA nonsense for games that don’t even exists on shelves anymore?
