There's also the Virtual Console, or eShop, whatever it is now. Nintendo is known for milking their older games by re-releasing them for each of their new systems. Or maybe it's plausible that Nintendo was so pissed off about the release of Conker's BFD that they got rid of the company out of resentment. I know Microsoft put a vice grip on their balls after acquiring them, but I have a feeling something fishy was going on beforehand. It just makes no sense why they would sell off one of their best developers unless there was some predictable outcome like Rareware showing signs of weakening due to internal conflicts or something. All I cared is that nintendo didnt lose profit, and since they stopped producing they wont be makingĪs much as I agree, I think there's a possibility that Nintendo knew something about Rareware that we didn't. I just thought it was too soom but your points make sense. Plus my favourite game Melee would barely exist withiut emulation. Yes ai understand a need for emulating otherwise there'd be so much less experience of great ilder games, and my favourite mods of like mario 64 and the kaizo mario world. Thanks to emulation efforts, that game is not lost and can still be played today thanks to the work of RPCS3 and Xenia developers. This game was a pretty good beatemup, and its no longer sold anywhere. While not a Nintendo title, an example of this is the game 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game'. Sometimes licensing issues hurt re-releases or its just too expensive or something. Consoles don't always have backwards compatibility and lose support over time. Additionally, emulation is important for preserving video games. There are even measures in place for Cemu to help push this. One could use their Wii U to rip their own Wii U games and then emulate them.

Piracy is going to be less and less of an issue as sales for it become more and more a non-issue for Nintendo.įurthermore, emulation does not equate to piracy. The Wii U has ceased production and is soon to be replaced. At some point it'll happen and not matter like in 5 years but for now it's eh And a lot of people become pirates when it's easy. WiiU wmulation making suck progress is NOT a good thing.
