[QUOTE=TheLonelyDonu;47501150]Do you guys think that Nintendo will eventually release Skyward Sword for Wii U?
I'm trying to homebrew my wii to play a pirated copy and boy is that shit difficult.
[/QUOTE]
How is homebrew difficult? I'm not saying you should be pirating games, but its a super easy tutorial to follow.
[QUOTE=Y'all.;47501708]why's it better? if i'm spending money on a game i want that money to go to the people who created the game, not a reseller who wants to get their cash back, or a retailer who's making more money than they deserve to make from used games and actively ripping people off. i absolutely disagree with piracy if you COULD BE supporting the creators but you choose not to because you want the product for free, but in this case i don't see how it actually hurts anyone, especially if you're waiting for the creator to put it up for sale again on a digital store so you can directly support the product in the future.[/QUOTE]
I don't think piracy should matter if the game is out of print.
Reminder that piracy isn't evil or morally/ethically wrong. It's a tool to be used in very specific circumstances to experience something you can't experience through any other means.

Well ideally, yes, but you have to acknowledge that some people do just pirate stuff because they don't want to pay money for it.
[QUOTE=Y'all.;47501429]do they even sell skyward sword anymore? if you bought it you'd be buying it used at a retailer or just getting it from ebay or something and the money wouldn't be going to nintendo anyway. i don't think there's anything wrong with pirating it until it comes out on the eshop and just paying for it then. if nintendo doesn't release it on the eshop then they weren't gonna make any more money from it anyway.[/QUOTE]

what the hell are you talking about
[editline]11th April 2015[/editline]
why would anyone use the eshop for stuff anyways that have physical copies
nintendo isn't very cool when it comes to digital goods
It was weird, when I first softmodded my Wii, I made a list of all the games I wanted to pirate, but I ended up not actually pirating anything, and actually ended up buying a lot of the games I wanted to pirate due to either convinience or them getting re-released in some way.

And by this logic, piracy isn't the problem. It's the people.
I use to pirate games and music. Now I'm an adult with a job and buy my own things. Idk pirating it just not appealing anymore.
I only pirate old stuff that's off the market. Got myself Banjo-Tooie and have been playing the crap out of it.
The one exception was Dissidia a bit back since I was low on dough. I made up for it by buying 012 twice :v:
even if I could or did at all nintendo is the last company I'd pirate from
they're games are always pretty worth it and they're one of the actually good game companies out there
they can really piss off their 5$-10$ for games released in the 80's stuff though

While I agree for the most part, I've definitely considered pirating some of their games before, mostly Gamecube ones. Like a year or so ago I wanted to get a new copy of Kirby's Air Ride since mine was scratched to hell, but the only copies I could find were going for over $100.
I think it's only really justifiable with abandonware. Stuff that has been out of print in any form for ten to fifteen years or more, and the creator is no longer interested in its upkeep.
A majority of third party NES/SNES titles, some first and third party N64 titles, and certain under-produced Gamecube titles fit this description. The Gamecube only recently slipped into this category now that it is considered a legacy console (and is no longer officially supported)

Prices for physical copies of these old games are fucking crazy these days too. I remember getting Melee used from Amazon for 20 bucks back in 2010, but today it's up to like, 60. And don't even get me started on SNES games.

You pirated Banjo? I see that game everywhere. I even got a boxed copy. And isn't it on Xbox? I think you guys are looking at Amazon and eBay prices, go look at small pawn shops and you'll find everything you need
used my coins for dr luigi and nes remix since I was 30 short of starfox 3d (even though i had a unredeemed bayonetta code ;_;)
they're both fun little timewasters though.
Something no one has mentioned, but I personally emulate games I already own in official form.
Not all, but the small ones I like to play every once and awhile like Tetris and Wario Land 4.
[editline]12th April 2015[/editline]
The only game I emulated without buying it is Mother 3.
I bought the SNES version of Earthbound for $160. T_T I can understand if you dont want to pay for that. However, these days, it is available on the Wii U for 10

It honestly makes me wonder why so few developers re-release games digitally. There is clearly a market for it.
(Yes, I know that stuff like licensed titles and ones in legal limbo are probably never going to see the light of day again, but surely stuff like Oregon Trail, Backyard Baseball or pretty much anything by LEGO Media or LucasArts should have no trouble being re-released digitally. Heck, we have indie devs like Two Tribes re-releasing games on the virtual console for the 3DS yet major companies aren't raking in what is practically free money from the service.)
Arcade titles are the absolute worst about this. I can name over 100 arcade games that have never received digital releases or even console ports that I'd be happy to pay $5-to-$10 for now. Sega's and Konami's in particular.
I really hope that Bomberman 64 gets onto the Wii U Virtual Console.
I also hope the two sequels that I only found out about a few years ago and haven't had the chance to play get on. I like 3D Bomberman more than 2D Bomberman.

If you liked bomberman 64 don't go near it's sequels on the 64.

It would be so sick if they made an online bomberman game.
[QUOTE=ryfry99;47508153]It would be so sick if they made an online bomberman game.[/QUOTE]
They did. It's called bomberman blast
Also on that subject they should bring back glover on the virtual console.

There was one on the 360, and maybe PSN, where you could customize your characters and have the traditional block versus matches with other people online.
Man, where's the modern 32 Player Bomberman online deathmatches with ghosts and power-ups though?

Super Nintendo games are frickin' whack on ebay. be prepared to drop $70+ for just the game card alone on several of them. Earthbound, Super Metroid, and the Final Fantasy games seem to be some of the biggest offenders. (And all three N64 mario parties, but that's another story)

Konami owns the Bomberman IP at the moment. It is just a shame they are sitting on it though.

their choice is either to sit on it, or risk making a sequel to Edge-rman:

It makes me glad that Natsume is one of the publishers that releases games on the virtual console frequently. Wild Guns (which has been available on the VC for a while) is worth almost $200 without any booklets or cartridges and a complete copy is worth nearly $1000.
I think the biggest reason conker/banjo/bomberman/insert90's game here will never return true to form is simply that... the people (or person) that defined what that game was either entirely stopped caring, passed away, or was fired. The old team that MADE X game, and when I say made, I mean it metaphorically has disbanded permanently
so now you see companies like microsoft, they know a banjo/conker sequal is wanted, they know it'll sell REALLY well, but they don't get that people want what the original team did, and people want a true to form game
they don't want a meat lovers pizza, they don't want a cheese pizza, they don't want garlic, they just want a pepperoni pizza
but they keep adding bullshit to said pizza and ruining the taste, sometimes to the point where there isn't even pepperoni at all
just give people an HD remake with solid controls and true to form everything and [URL="http://money-au.com/files/2013/12/cash-flying-300x199.jpg"]people will go crazy[/URL]

makes sense though
authentic 80's and 90's titles are a precious collectors item that has to be treated with respect
some people don't care and just want to play the game, so they download roms
but authentic copies are for playing the authentic experience + smiling at a shelf

I have the original smash + nintendo 64 and a ton of games
doubt it'd be THAT much though
[editline]11th April 2015[/editline]
actually how much would smash/diddy kong racing/pikachu/perfect dark/007/several other games even make me?
they're all perfectly clean and probably work
