this is the biggest non-surprise

I don’t see how anyone didn’t see this coming seeing as Nintendo has used emulation since the Wii

Would people out there just feel so much better if they’d had somebody for-real port the old games to the Switch?

I think it’s more that people take issue with Nintendo using emulation for their ports when they’re so hostile to the efforts of the emulation community, game archivists, etc. Just feels pretty hypocritical of them.

They write their own emulators, though, don’t they?

Ugh, there’s stuff in that thread misinterpreting a phrase ‘lazy texture replace’ which is programmer jargon for swapping assets as they’re loaded

The gamers believe that there is a man who lives in Japan whose name is Nintendo and he’s a very lazy man indeed.

On the one hand, on an emotional level, I get it, but on the other hand I really can’t see how this is hypocritical. My understanding isn’t that Nintendo is hostile to the idea of emulation as an act–a piece of software emulating the function of a piece of hardware to run a piece of software intended for that hardware–but that they’re (over?)protective of what they assert as legally their intellectual property, that they have the right to dictate how that stuff is to be copied and commodified. I really don’t see where the hypocrisy is.

Not that I want to defend Nintendo per se. It’s a rich-as-hell company. Fuck it. I just can’t follow this particular line of thought.

Historically they [Nintendo] were a bit quick to judge emulators as a hostile threat to IP. This timestamp relates their alleged change to policy on emulators which coincided with the release of their own emulation software (so chronologically not technically hypocrites?):

I’m with you on this, I can’t be bothered to see the nuance of the hypocrisy-as-written when it’s very clearly in the service of “don’t touch our IP, fuck you” – no one is actually against emulators from a preservation standpoint and having to claim whataboutism is tedious
