Emulation is what got me into retro gaming over a decade ago. Now I own over a 100 retro cartridges, and you know how much money Nintendo got from me for buying all those? The same they got from me emulating them.
Honestly, as a poor kid with no money growing up, emulation is how I got into half the series I'm a paying customer for now.
@@Hide_Me I've heard this said quite a few times when this topic pops: piracy doesn't really lose you much money. The one that pirated it, wasn't gonna buy it regardless. Also it may just become free advertisement and make new fans.
Yup
This whole comment string is pure truth.
@@Kalvinjj yeah. Yet emulation gets such a bad rap. Without it, we wouldn't be seeing retro games on our newer systems. It is still true today. Pc users don't want a console, so they were never going to buy your game for console in the first place. Yet if a version of a Nintendo or Sony game was available on pc to buy at a fair price, download, play, and keep forever, people will 99 percent of the time do that instead out of convenience and easability. So yeah, you are right, its been shown before that it is not really a lost sale, cause yeah, they were never going to buy it anyways for whatever reason.

Emulation is easily the best way to capture game footage on older consoles.
Yes and no... When I try and look for game footage to contemplate whether or not to buy a certain game, it is waaaay too hard nowadays to find "real" footage of a game, especially the more obscure ones released before the RUclips-age.
or handhelds like the ds,psp,3ds etc
@@yoshikempenaers8621 I think what you said is just a consequence of what Nido the King said. The reason it's hard to find "real" footage is because the fake footage is so much better, so that's what people do. I can relate, I'm actually making a review for Mario 64, using footage from the original cart, and I didn't even realize how blurry it looked until I captured footage from Star Fox 64 off the Switch service for a joke and the contrast for those three seconds was insane. I'm never recording off of original carts again if I can help it. Unfortunately I already have a whole season's worth recorded...

seriously. I've seen let's plays before where they use real hardware and recording devices, and it's looks shit because the video quality of the original console is so bad
Okay but "you couldn't pause the movie in the theater" is the PERFECT analogy for save states
Not really.
@@DrUnfunny Explain please.
@@bombyman84 Well as Scott says, it's not fair to compare video games to movies, besides, some games COME with a form of save stating included
@@DrUnfunny Old video games didn't have saving, so you'd have to replay a game ALL the way from the start
@@liammcnicholas918 I fail to see how this fact shames save-state users, if anything I'd rather download a rom of Mario 3 for saving than make $60 deal with Nintendo to get official save states.
Remember, paying 300 bucks for a fucking SNES game wasn't the developer intended experience either.
Truth. One guy can make 300 bucks from one old cartridge that the game companies won't see a dime for, or the company instead could make $5000 selling 5000 digital downloads for a dollar a piece. Company makes money, customer gets to experience game for virtually no legal/financial risk, and everyone can be happy. And the cartridge people can do whatever they were gonna do anyway.
Yes
And also remember, collecting the games in the first place are how we got said roms.
Emulation or Hardware, play either. Both are important.
Nor was completely re-writing the game to play how the original did. Ironically wouldn't emulation be more faithful at that point?
Adjusted for inflation, they did intend for them to be like.. 180 bucks.
Gabe Newell summarized it perfectly: "The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates." And that also applies to game emulation.
And that's why Gabe is god.
can confirm. used to play pirated pc games before steam made it really convenient for me to buy games online
GabeN literally built an empire out of the neglected PC gaming market, game stores and publishers only cared about console and mobile, even Microsoft shunned PC gaming.
Same thing applies to TV/movies/music. Streaming made it a LOT easier to consume content conveniently, so piracy went down drastically. But then streaming got split between tons of different platforms, so piracy's back up
Where i live, triple a games are 15 dollars, it is still to much for my people since our money is near worthless but people do buy from steam because of it. Noone is giving 600 on a game, when average salary is 4000
Isn't it fitting how GabeN is the only guy still in the tripleA video game industry to decently understand why piracy is actually done. The creator of Steam-the platform that re-released the most video games- is the only person in the triple A video game industry. SEGA may go easier on piracy than any other game company, but that's because they can use it to find remarkable potential employees.
They ended up paying for Denuvo on Sonic Frontiers
@@M_CFV They were already doing DRM at the time of Sonic Mania & Forces, that caused a game-breaking bug at the time

Indie studios are off limits for me tho they don’t deserve to be pirated
Imo emulation is more justified especially when games are no longer being sold u buying a game for exorbitant prices online from eBay and pirating it would accomplish the same thing. The company not getting money. Its just one is utterly breaking ur wallet while the other can be done at no cost
@@theartillery9724 There's also no need for Indie games since most of them are much newer, so they can be found on most modern consoles or online services like steam. It's really only older games from larger companies that really need emulation.

@@seetrogreen2042 Exactly, I just started using it a week ago and it’s already running really well on my Mac.
OpenEmu is the best to use for mac emulators, but it’s kinda limited like I haven’t figured out how to change things like Lil Manster to add the QOL changes that emulator added (idk how to patch the rom)

Tbh, about the savepoints:
Back in the day games were made way more difficult to make then seem longer, so a bunch of them were just unfair. In those cases i feel like saves work just fine
Especially for NES games. There’s a reason the phrase “Nintendo hard” exists.
Some people hold that unfairness as quality as in hard good easy bad, when really there a more ways to make a game hard without being unfair or giving one checkpoint every 20 level

As a latina the only reason I got into gaming is emulation/piracy otherwise I would have never been able to afford any legal game even today expending on something like a switch is a luxury I can't afford. Growing up some of my fondest memories come from video games so I'll always be thankful to the fan communities that pour so much effort on emulation
Growing up poor with little to no money to spend on games in a country where even if you could they are really hard to get/expensive really makes you appreciate emulation for what it is. You can run emulators even on very old phones and have an enjoyable experience
Same for me!
Games were really expensive for us before (they still are tbh) but now we can somehow afford them (talking mostly about me and my family here)
My brother used to emulate old games on our pc and bc of that I had the opportunity to play a lot of games that I probably wouldn't know today. I personally view emulators like an alternative to play games for people that can't afford them, especially old games since they don't require a really powerful pc/phone.
My hacked Wii agreed
@@claymore339 Indeed. That's something americans can't comprehend.
Same... if it wasn't for that i don't think i would love games if it wasn't for emulation and piracy-
The illegal part of piracy is uploading roms/games online. Downloading a rom is not illegal (depending on were you live), thats why if you look up anti piracy screens (real one's) it usually say something like "Report this copy" or "To report this copy call [Phone number]" or some times "We hope that you buy a real [Console] and legit games"
Downloading is not illegal. uploading is.
not games on the market though, it's illegal to not buy the game, however the games not in the market is fine

Another feature of emulation is the ability to make rom hacks and fan games. GBA Pokémon in particular has a ton of rom hacks ranging from catch ‘em alls, adding mons and mechanics from newer games, extra hard difficulty, and even completely new games with new stories. Radical Red is one of my favorite Pokémon experiences and I think stuff like that deserves a place in gaming

emulation is terrible. Now excuse me while I go buy paper mario: the thousand year door for $125 from my local video game store which is more than double the price from when it released 18 years ago and where none of the proceeds will go to nintendo.

@@Mrgrimm150 yeah
Fan games make emulation a must for me. Radical red and team rocket edition made me feel like I did on yellow all those years ago on my gbc
While still think radical red is too hard to ever be a real game, I really wish the real games would take notes from it. Along with making the game harder, npcs used a lot of different strategies and items, forcing you to do the same. Games like RR prove Pokémon’s battle system is much more complex and interesting than you’ll ever see in the main game
@@Blastronaute same goes for the "newer super mario bros" series, which COMPLETELY overhauls those games. Not 1 level is the same, and in some cases the game feels 100% diffrent. Its not like the minecraft "create" mod, which ADDS things that change the game a lot, but you can still ignore or forget.
The problem with companies "just emulating" is that fans have been doing it for decades for free at significantly better quality, while the big companies expect us to pay $70 for the original with like, two extra features

@The Lost Wooly We don't buy emulated games. We download them. I already bought the game years ago, and the company that decided I don't get to experience it anymore when my decades old hardware failed can just deal with it
@The Lost Wooly i know thats not how you think but god that mindset is so stupid
@The Lost Wooly I just have trouble understanding the whole "might" want to rerelease. Rereleasing should be a no brainer. It costs nothing aside from maybe figuring out how to emulate it on the specific hardware like the Switch and then putting the game file up on the eshop. There's no retailer fees or risks if the game doesn't sell well, there's only money to be lost by not doing.
Heck, if they don't want to build the emulator, then let us continue using the private ones and sell the game files behind a legal download link. Even if it doesn't help with the convenience and people could just copy and share the files, it's already being done anyway! At least then download links would be trustworthy and get rid of the main justification for pirating of having no alternatives to play the game.

The piracy/emulation situation always reminds me that games are more for gamers than for developers. Game companies don't want to preserve old games because they don't make them money anymore.
If GBA was released on 3DS VC I would have bought so many games, but no the one thing everyone was asking for and they didn’t do it, so I got all the games for feee on my 3DS instead, their loss I would have gladly paid $10 per GBA game for no reason
To be honest games for me should be prioritised more for the devlopers, not company developers that just want to profit of the works of their employees but the actual developers that create the games, is after all their work and if you apreciate the game and it's vision for what it is, then I think it should be respected to preserve the game as the creator intended, since modifications that emulation produce in fact modifies the experience that the creator had for it, or if they want to still preserve to this day or want to wait for a time to make it available again, is no only their product, but their creation as well and it could feel bad if a random person now wants to determine the fate of your creation without you having a word about it, videogames are not natural resources that should be available for anyone. If the creator is fine with it then go for it since it provides the opportunity to expose the game for many people, but if the creator has it's concerns and do not want the game to be exposed in that way and wants to wait foor a time to expose it, it is that bad?
Emulation and pirancy are always gona be a topic of debate and we need to consider every variable before commiting into it in my opinion. It varies so much in many cases and can not be an universal truth that is only good or bad.
agreed the second they make it impossible for gamers to get the games officially as far as I am concerned its fair game
@@supaskiltz9877 you probably already know this but you can get semi-official looking gba vc, now it doesnt use an official nintendo emulator but it looks convincing enough, get the ultimate injector it makes a cia of the rom
I personally think that there should be a law where downloading ROMs off of the internet FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY should be legal IF: 1. That game is currently not available to buy officially, and 2. A certain amount of time has passed since it was last offered for people to buy officially. It's like a similar idea to copyright: If they want their games to keep being safe from downloads of it online, then they have to keep releasing them and/or giving the fans official ways to play them. Of course that might need some tweaking, but I think it's a good start.

It’s interesting that Scott says emulators don’t work half the time. I’m not sure what emulators he’s using besides Dolphin, but I’ve literally never had issues with emulation. It’s as easy as download the rom, load the rom on the emulator, and you’re set
he's mostly a mac dude, I'm pretty sure he was talking about the state of emulators on mac for that.
Emulators on Mac are still a little rough, but still very capable of functioning if you tinker around with them. The one he is shown using is OpenEMU, which is similar to RetroArch, as it has a lot of different emulator cores.
It can still be tricky setting up the paths for game detection and save files can be tricky if you don’t know what your doing plus you can run into problems of having to unzip and reformat file types which isn’t hard once you know what you are doing.
Newer consoles that have bioses and keys and stuff are a bit harder but it's really not that hard to figure out how to get that stuff

That is exactly the point. Nintendo wants their fans to do not have control in what they can or cannot play. It is so convenient to sell the same 30-year-old game for the 20th time in the same decade to the same target audience for an absurd price. With emulation, fans don't need Nintendo's re-releases and collections. Furthermore, Nintendo finds its own trademark divine, and seeing it for free online is so painful for them. "Why does Nintendo don’t just release Virtual Console on Switch? They would win even more money!" Simple. With Virtual Console, fans would play whatever they want for a fair price. Everything Nintendo doesn't want. Emulation makes old Nintendo's games old, and their stupid re-releases give them a bit of youth. Nintendo want you to love their retro games and still not be able to buy and play them, so when they release Super Mario 3D All-Stars, for example, you'll buy immediately.

Also I had an ancient pc and the emulators worked decently on them without much lag, so I was able to play them despite my hardware being terrible. My parents also didn’t want to buy me any consoles and all I had was an old pc, so I made the best of it.

One of best things about emulation and piracy is making games available to people who can’t afford it, specially in what you would call “third world countries”. Videogames are an ultra expensive luxury item in these cases, with one game costing like a fourth of a minimum wage income in some places(as is in Brazil, where a triple A game costs 300BRL and the minimum wage is 1300BRL.)
I really like those emulation handhelds that allow you to play these old games portably with a controller, but also offer the same features as pc emulation does.
Also, If a game isn't being sold anymore then its morally correct to emulate it.
thats the only real time I accept it. I want to play Boxboy on the 3DS but the game is digital only and the E shop closed, so I now have to resort to emulation.
Pirating a video game is (in most English speaking countries) is illegal, but it's not a criminal offence. That means that the company has to actually contact you and sue you personally, which is really not worth the effort for targeting the people downloading, only the people supplying the copies on a mass scale.
You think one guy sued an elderly woman who put a listing for a CD for $10 all she did was sell her husbands old stuff but since it was an illegal boot she was fined $10,000

@@jmurray1110 Imma be honest, that sounds like an extremely specific example that seems more like an exception than anything.
@@DarkeningDemise not if you take the proper precautions
I lived since my pre-teens until early adulthood in the US (coming from South America) and I emulated games a lot because I liked emulation and seeing what it was capable of, and because I mostly emulated games that at that time were not available anywhere else, and I was not going to get an old tv just to play some games, it was mostly games I had missed (knew about them but didn't have the opportunity to play them) in my childhood in the 90's and so I emulated them, nothing ever happened.
I otherwise owned all the current consoles (at the time) of the 6th and 7th gen and paid for every single game and played online. The same thing with PC gaming for the last almost 15 years, I buy everything legally, specially since Steam and other stores started having regional pricing (I stil paid the normal 50-60 usd for a game from time to time, but now some cost 20-30 or less sometimes due to regional pricing).

It's as the saying goes, "One bad apple ruins the bunch."
Another great benefit is being able to try stuff before you commit.

I see pros and cons from having both accessible. I probably lean more to being a purist as I now stream with the real hardware as much as possible. It is nice to have the backups ready in a time of need, and in some environments it's more accessible especially if the game is rarer or if it's on a hardware you're trying to preserve.
Honestly, thanks to emulation I became a Nintendo fan in the first place. I used to play gba roms and love the games like pokemon, Kirby, megaman, and since then I have wanted to buy the consoles and their games

They own the plastic that hosts the game (wether it's a disc, card or cartridge) but the game is still 100% owned by the copyright holders. Buy a game is actually, as you said, paying for a lisence to play it. The advantage of getting a physical copy however is that the license is transferrable.
Im so glad I got into emulation, its so much easier and not a hassle, plus the price for retro games are insanely high and not worth the price. Also just being able to tweak the games resolution, putting texture packs, fps boost, cheat codes to mess around with, and widescreen hacks just make it a much more comfortable experience.
Long as they refuse to offer superior versions on their official systems, PC emulation should be fine

Bruh I remember that part from spongebob
If it's from a generation that's extremely rare or expensive I get why people do it but modern games that are cheap and readily available to buy there no excuse for piracy imo.
i've gotten into flash carts lately - i feel it's the best of both worlds. you can play games on the original hardware - as well as romhacks, fan translations, unreleased games, homebrews, ultra-rare/expensive titles, and randomizers. some of them even have save states!
Big shout out to the random dude in college who put left 4 dead and star fox 64 out of my Macbook pro in 2008. You gave me many hours of joy And I can never thank you enough.
Emulation is so important for preserving gaming history. When stores like the PSP close and a whole library of digital only games are lost to time for one reason or another - emulation can help keep those games alive. The same can be applied to retro gaming as a whole. it is SO important to keep gaming history alive and its a crying shame companies either don't care to preserve their games themselves or actively stop it like Nintendo.
I almost always suggest trying to go through "legal" means to play games but when its not possible or just not a feasible option due to a variety of reasons - emulation should be welcomed into gaming with open arms.
It is welcome, the ones against it are corporations (nintendo included) that get no money out of it, and since they only like money they fight against it
If it wasn't for emulation, I would never get to play some of the best games and classics on PSP or GBA, now they are some of my favourite games and I can have a sentiment for something I would normally miss.
I understand the legality issues with emulation but... If you just want to play a 20 year old game that is so hard to buy anywhere that it sometimes feels even more illegal than actual piracy, it's hard to argue against the emulation and, as you said, how it allows old classics to stay alive and be available for younger generations.
PSP doesn't even have batteries made for it anymore and most of the original batteries are swollen and dangerous. Who wants to play a PSP plugged into a wall? Not certainly as it was intended.
@@intheshadowofathousandbean563 GBA games are so good they make fantastic emulated and mobile games, simple controls with strong gameplay.
@@cattysplat Exactly, I don't want to risk my psp exploding on me if I want to play some Killzone liberation. Emulation needs to be embraced
you can completely legally dump your own roms, without downloading them. you just gotta buy an adapter to connect cartridges and such to your computer. this was legally proven in the Bleem! vs Sony case
I was just about to say this. Nothing illegal in Preserving games you Backed up yourself. so long as you don't Sell it or Distribute it, it's fine
Theoretically, a downloaded copy should be identical to a dumped one, so try proving that I didn't lose my dumping device lol
More modern systems like the Wii also allow you to dump with homebrew software
Which means you can freely download them because who the fuck can actually prove that dump is yours or one you downloaded because the file is going to appear the exact same either way.
And they know this, if it wasn't the case they would bring people who download these games to court just to prove a point and deter people.
Researching this case is sad. Sony sued them so much until they couldn't afford the fees and they were forced to shut down.

Pirating and emulation are almost always issues of CONVENIENCE.
If a decent port is available from the original publisher for a decent price, the majority will choose that.
If a game requires old hardware, is incredibly rare or grossly overpriced, people will emulate.
As much as Nintendo and other companies complain about emulation, it is really quite a simple (and profitable) fix for them to just perserve their old titles.
When they do rereleased older games, all I see is people complaining about having to pay for them and go straight back to pirating so why should Nintendo bother?
@@crazyfire9470 this
@@crazyfire9470 Exactly. Nintendo Swith Online is 20 dollars a year for a bunch of old games, and people still bitch about "I don't really own them". And with the virtual console, the same stuff, complaining about paying for old games. So a bunch of people only want shit for free. Like fans that pirate tv shows and then complain when they got cancelled because they didn't made any money.
@@crazyfire9470 From what I've seen that's mostly with games that they have effectively already bought. Like,, 'Why do I have to buy this again on the Nintendo e-shop, I already bought it on the Wii shop!' I hardly ever see people who complain about having to pay for games that are released for emulation for the first time officially (like,, No one complained about having to buy Earthbound once it was finally added to the e-shop, just moreso confusion over why it cost twice as much as other snes games)
@@crazyfire9470 You see that because the price points are insane. Project64 was able to emulate Majora's Mask in 2011 perfectly, and that's available for free. The game is 21 years old.
Charging $50 or $30 or even $19.99 for the convenience of playing it on a modern console is absurd. If Nintendo can get MM to work as easily on Switch as I can on PC, then it's highway robbery to charge $20 for that. Rerelease emulated ports that have been long available elsewhere should be dirt cheap.
I'd pay $5, maybe $10 for an emulated port of N64 MM on Switch, but it really should be like $3.99. Any more than that just isn't reasonable for the work involved.
Interestingly some lawyers have brought up the legality of downloading game copies you already own. It basically boiled down to this: If you already own a copy of a game, you are legally allowed to make a backup as it counts as software but you have to do it off of your own copy yourself... Maybe. See, they also stated that whether or not downloading it or making it yourself matters when the end result is the same is up in the air as it was never tested by courts. (See the video: "Smash Bros. "Big House" Online Tourney Cancelled by Nintendo")
Something tells me game companies don't want to test it either because the last time something like that happened, the one who tried it lost hilariously and they're scared of it. "Bleem!" is what I'm referring to and courts ruled that the emulation was legal and their use of screenshots to market it is fair use. Now... Some people think that the legal fees were what put Bleem! out of business which is what Sony was going for to begin with. But that's debatable because it ended up setting a precedent for the future of emulation, opening up more than just Bleem! to get a foothold (which it did), but no one knows for sure why Bleem! went under. They might've made more stuff than they sold thinking that it would catch on more than it did for all we know. Plus Sony would never have known what their funds were and they could've lost a ton to Bleem! and inadvertently funded their operations.
Even when Nintendo took ROMUniverse to court and "won", they didn't exactly "win". See the video "Nintendo Wins Empty Victory over ROMUniverse (Nintendo v. Storman)". So the more things that come out about emulation and ROMs, the more it looks like smoke and mirrors by companies just to scare people so they can generate sales even though people who weren't going to pay still wouldn't. Sort of like how they handled copyright on RUclips where they would claim basically anything even though lawyers said that they couldn't. Primarily companies do so to intimidate people into thinking they had the right to and to make money they weren't entitled to. When people pushed back, the companies had no choice but to back down as their public relations were so negatively perceived between them being found to have been illegally abusing the copyright system and going after their most devoted fans that it became a nightmare for them.
....Needless to say I find this topic incredibly interesting which is why I looked into all of this, lol! I think it's because it's such a gray area that there's a lot of possibilities. Overall, I too would agree that however people play games isn't a big deal, nor is emulation. Companies aren't really "losing" sales that never could have existed to begin with and they are certain;y not going under anytime soon. Developers are already paid during game development anyway as well. Anything after that point is just funds that go to the company and not the developers that actually worked hard on the games to begin with. Thus companies are really the one double dipping and trying to make people feel bad. Heck... more than double in a lot of cases. But then there are cases like you mentioned where they complain about games being emulated they aren't even selling anymore like Melee. I've seen people actually make arguments that they don't have to make their entire library available and that people aren't entitled to have access to them at any time. But if companies don't care enough to keep them available, then why would people care if others emulate them?
Oh hi there, PkGam!
If so then I don't get why people bitch so hard about Nintendo in this point, they can't stop piracy, so why is there even a discussion? Like that Mario trilogy controversy, or is it people nothing better to do than whining about corporations?
@@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr Because Nintendo still works really hard to make it impossible. Emuparadise was a safe website that made it really easy to get old roms. I don't have the super expensive hardware to rip my old game carts, so this was an amazing thing to have. Nintendo sued them into irrelevancy, and now they don't host roms anymore. Now you have to go back to the sketchy sites again, or sources I won't mention here for fear of Nintendo shutting them down too. These giant corporations deserve all the criticism. And you dare to call it "whining" when we point out their abusive behavior?

I just realized the opening joke of this episode about the bank and how hes gonna "give them a 20" was a reference to the opening gag in the following episode
The emulation (eek!)
Preservation is my eternal middle finger towards anti-piracy stances. It's clear from lack of legal support that no company is invested enough in their own history to attempt true, full scope preservation. The best they can do is rereleases of the hits everybody knows or batches of backwards compatible titles baked irregularly. If Nintendo in particular have a problem with retro emulation then they have my permission to do better. For that, we're still waiting.
A lot of companies are erasing their history because it makes their modern stuff look bad.
The real crime is that I can't like this twice.
I don't understand why theft and vandalism are seen as morally grey these days. Companies don't want true full-scope preservation because then everyone will be so busy playing old games that they won't buy new games that companies can charge more for.
Everytime emulation or video game piracy comes up I think of Ross Scott's videos he's made on the preservation of games and how, many studios don't allow this and or care for older titles they've made, and going forward many games are a "service" per say so when the game developer pulls the plug on an always online game your screwed out of being able to play it. I'm all for preservation, I believe we should be allowed to play older titles that we may not be able to play because of console or cartidge availbility, or price.
well even then we are seeing with nso expansion pack they do the bare minimum and up charge for a sub par service.

Great point about the original games "feeling right" on the original consoles, i've never considered before that the type of controller you used could change the experience you have with a specific game

It's true for some games, I tried playing Jet Set Radio through the ps3 HD version and it felt pretty weird and I was messing up alot of tricks, so I just chalked it up to the game being old and put it down.

Yes I use everdrives cause it feels better, tho I use a ps4 controller for pcsx2 and it's close enough

this is especially true with games like NiGHTS into Dreams on Sega Saturn, where the game was designed concurrently with a specific controller, there's a ton of little nuances tht future ports and modern thumbsticks just don't capture quite as well

Sega is like the complete opposite to Nintendo when it comes to emulation. I recently got some games from the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Classics on Steam and they literally provide you with the roms. You can either just play them in their emulator or if you feel like it just pop them in your favorite emulator and have fun that way. This approach where you just spend a buck or two to play old games, which you then actually own almost completely negates the need to pirate stuff.
To play devil's advocate. Nintendo still makes their own hardware, unlike Sega, so they have an interest to keep their games exclusives.
