Nintendo is going to answer your intellectual property questions and tell you about how their way is the right way, and your way is wrong.

This is Nintendo's Australia branch, and they're telling you that it's not okay to download Nintendo ROMs for games that are no longer distributed in the stores.

This FAQ is giving massive strawmen. No one says that video games that are no longer being officially sold are "public domain." They're just arguing that those games should be preserved and distributed, or they will be lost in time, and no one can play them anymore.

And this one too. No one says making emulators "help publishers." What kind of argument is that? We're not doing it to help publishers. We're doing it to play the games that we want to play.

"The problem is it's illegal." Nice appeal to legality there.

"Nintendo is famous for bringing back popular characters." Characters, not games. And even if it's their older games, you have to give them an egregious amount of money. Love your games. Screw your legal team.
