With all these news recently, you could think Nintendo wants to be hated. It's truly shameful how the company has fallen since Iwata is gone.

Nintendo has gone after youtubers and content creators for 15+ years. They are infamous for it.

Recently?! Nintendo famously hates their fans for years now.

to be honest, 80% of their customers probably don't even know what an emulator is and don't follow news about nintendo

On the plus side, it makes me feel extra good when I load their games onto my hacked Switch! Echoes of Wisdom was fun, but felt really short. I would have felt cheated if I'd spent $60 on it.

I mean, its predecessor was a basic-ass remake of a ten hour, thirty year old Game Boy game that also cost $60.

True, but it felt longer, even if it wasn't. It also wasn't worth $60, though.

I love that game, but I fucking hate the remake's artstyle. Its completely put me off from trying Echoes even though the premise and gameplay of that one seem right up my alley.

All they have is their IP, they must protect it at all costs. Nintendo doesn't even let Shingeru Myamoto wipe is own ass out of fear he will get hurt.
