Yeah I pirated it, played it for 5 hours. I didn't and don't have any intention of buying a nintendo game ever, even if I couldn't pirate it. They are almost never worth the asking price. Most have the quality of a 40 usd steam indie game, some even of a 20 usd one. I know that this doesn't have anything to do with the creative departments, but nintendo can go fuck itself. Also, a friend of mine whose a fan of Nintendo pirated it even before it came out, but he played it in the switch lol.

Not buying a game that literally only runs well on emulators. Fuck you nintendo.

Nintendo suing a company for a "feature" they accidentally implemented on the first gen switch. (First gen meaning early to late 2017)

I know nothing here, please explain more.

The first gen switch has an exploit that allows you to extract the decryption keys needed to play your games on an emulator at a higher visual quality with support for mods

Should have made it cheaper...

Not enough TBH.

Wait... they're asking for 150k and part of their 30k/month patreon? That's literally nothing for a company like Nintendo...what am I missing?

Edit: k, I misread, they want the entirety of the supposed 30k per month, and for the yuzondevs to stand trial, but that's still such a tiny number for Nintendo. If 1 million copies were pirated, then I would expect them to go after 1 mil x game price. This almost seems like a reasonable slap on the wrist

They're not trying to make money just shut them down.

I played botw. Never would have on a switch. That thing is technologically pathetic. From what I hear it hardly makes 20fps? In what world is that playble. I used to play a fps called combat arms back in around 2006 on an x1600. Both my frame rate and the textures were better than botw. Every tower you climb you just look out at all 4 polygons and wonder if the game is even complete.

If totk was on the same technical level as botw, it's no wonder people emulate their legit copies. They want to play the game they paid for in 2024 with shadows and textures at a playable frame rate. Nintendo won't give that to them but modders usually have texture packs ready to go on new releases that reveals how much their shitty handheld holds their games back.

How cool the building and freedom is means shit if it's a miserable chore to play. You can't even turn the camera sensitivity up high enough to utilize a lot of the building freedom without a camera fix making some cool mechanics or build utility you see people performing in clips literally impossible on the native switch.
