after what happened with yuzu emu, im done…

EDIT: This post is a joke! It was posted in /c/memes, of course it is going to be a meme! If you consider this news, please re-evaluate your choice of sources.

At the same time, I think it says something about Nintendo that some actually believed this…

    I saw a lot of cool Nintendo Lego creations recently at a convention. Nothing had Nintendo names. Instead of Goomba, it was named “angry mushroom” and stuff like that.

    Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child’s tombstone.

    Fuck these corporations.

      Worked in retail awhile back. Kept having glass shit fall off displays and ends. It wasn’t TOO often, just enough to be an annoyance. They were stacking glass product on top of one another. I explained why this was a problem; they didn’t care. Some time later I came back to the bosses with an argument:

      This is how much we’re charging for the product.

      This is how much I make per hour.

      Cleanup of said broken product takes X time.

      This is how much I make in that time, or Y.

      Which means a single broken product that breaks costs you Z, multiplied by the number of times it happens, plus the cost of the product itself.

      This was what got their attention. These people usually aren’t human, they’re sociopaths. Remember that.

      This is one of those situations where it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. Even the most cold-hearted corporate ghoul is going to understand the cost/benefit of going after that family isn’t remotely worth it.

      Yeah, the lawyers are going to say “no”. But even if they’re stupid enough to sue: some suit that isn’t a moron is going to tell them to drop it during the ensuing PR nightmare, and the family will be swimming in donations.

      You’re still buying Nintendo hardware.

      Honestly, I stopped using Nintendo because of all the joycon issues, the fact they’ve been mainly just remaking the same games for 30 years and they screwed Wii u customers. You need to re buy the same games again.

      On Wii u, not sure if this changed, but if you broke the main controller, you basically couldn’t replace it.

      They have a better rep than Microsoft and Sony , but I’m not convinced they deserve it

      No idea why anyone would buy anything except a steamdeck these days

        still buying Nintendo hardware.

        Steal that too, and if you wanna move the posts again consider emulation.

          Why bother with either? I’ve already played 3000 versions of mario cart and super mario. I can probably skip the latest ones

    I hope the ChatGPT and its siblings bring about the end of copyright. Unfortunately it’s more likely we’ll pervert the idea of personhood yet again and claim these things are people same as was done with corporations.

    Per Snopes:

    What’s True

    A child in Venezuela made a cardboard Nintendo Gameboy to play a home-made version of Super Mario Bros.

    What’s False

    However, Nintendo did not send a cease-and-desist letter to this child, nor did the company sue his family for $200 million.

    A picture with some text is not a news source. Boycott Nintendo for good reasons.

      This is a joke referencing Nintendo suing an emulator developer. It should not be considered news. The money amount is even the same.

        This meme’s older than the latest yuzu thing. I’m pretty sure I saw it on reddit, and I haven’t been there in months. Nintendo’s been like this forever.

    Clearly the father made a lot of money off that social media post. Nintendo is only trying to protect its IP!

    I get my Nintendo fix via Super Tux and Super Tux Cart

    • Insensitive bastard!

      To pay his debt this kid cuts out and sells hundreds of cardboard Disney characters every day! He has blisters so awful that he can now never play a switch even if he had one.
