Emuparadise just took down most 1st party Nintendo games.
What are we going to do about this?

Nothing, seeing as I am not a thief.

Nothing of value was lost.

Jews being jews

Big fucking surprise.

wait, seriously? you got a source?

heh

as if they werent availbale in a million other places

You got a torrent to the complete Gamecube and Wii set?

I wonder why. I assume it must've been a take down notice by Nintendo.


Just go look at something like Mario 64. There's nothing there.

I just checked the page, looked for Fire Emblem games and found nothing.
Jewtendo is getting more cancerous by the day.

GC yes, Wii, no.

epforums.org/showthread.php?109899-Nintendo-Games-got-taken-out

Can you post the torrent?


WELL SHIT

Anyone got an alternative?

Wew lad

This, just get your ROMs from other sites

If someone can give me a retards guide on how to make a torrent, I can .zip up my Gamecube/Wii .ISOs and share them all with y'all in a couple hours.

wikihow.com/Create-a-Torrent

Doesn't affect me much, ROM Hustler's always been my go-to place and it doesn't look like they've been hit with anything.

This. It is our duty to gather every first party nintendo game and spread them through share threads.

Just lemme get home and I'll hook everyone up. Keep the thread alive, fags.

Why do you want trash next to your gold?

I'm so fucking pissed cause emuparadise had literally everything, even Japanese versions of the game which is nice since I learned nip.

I can filter out the trash

This gon b gud

History. Collector fags. Maybe the next Angry Video Game Nerd will be poor as fuck, and he'll have to get all his games from torrents. Do you really want him to only have access to good games?

But mostly, history.

Didn't this happen once before?

Yes, with CoolROM, almost immediately following their addition of Gamecube ISOs.

You retards love Jewtendo fucking you in the ass any chance you get.

Thankfully I downloaded every single legitimate ROM from every PS2 era console and earlier, fucking years ago.
I've got that shit backed up multiple times. I just wish we had a permanent digital storage medium, so I don't have to keep backing that shit up onto new drives every couple of years.

How can you blame them when the smelly board owner bought switch for one game?

Your work does not go unappreciated, user.

Now this is the hero we deserve

I don't use emuparadise because they host shit dumps

Jesus Christ, it's really telling what a world we live in when VIDEO GAMES are seen as something worth preserving for future generations.

good thing i already pirated all of the 1st party nintendo games that i want

Why are you even here, faggot?

Explain.

best waifu

The Internet continues to decline. Everything fucking blows.

Okay, look.

Someone actually chronicled grafitti from Pompeii. Because it's history. It's a reminder of what we were. Go and look it up and you'll learn something: Spoiler, people back then are pretty much the same as they are now.

Anything humans make, anything we write or mark down or build or construct, is a part of humanity's greater whole and on some level worth preserving. Some things certainly are worth more effort, sure. But it's not like vidya isn't important.

I need to check my own sentences more often.


Because I like video games.


There is nothing to explain.
Some of us have so little connection with the real world that vidya is all we have and will do everything to protect it.


I am aware.
I still think it is incredibly silly.

If you keep parading around companies like Valve and Nintendo they'll continue fucking you dry.

OH NOES WHERE WILL PIRATE ALL MY MARIOS NOW?!
lol

freeshop

Which first party jewtendo games are even good? I always end up playing third party games on their handhelds.

Thanks.
I don't give a flying fuck

vidya is part of the real world you mong bong

That kinda sucks for newfags, but I archived all my shit like 4 years ago. Thank god 8ch has share threads, right anons?
RIGHT?!?!?!

...

...

Because the last good 1st party nintendo game was Super Metroid.

...

For me, it's more about messing with Jewtendo and other super-powerful companies by showing there is nothing they can do to stop pirating.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK I better download all the games that I want before these cucks take them down too.

If you want, but I know there are loads of anons here who can get you any game you want from the site without it. Have some faith, brother.

Also, all of the fucking romsets are still up. So GG nintendo is to stupid to even know what a romset is.

I feel bitterness and a sense of calm inside me seeing what the threads have become. Polite sage for OT.

Nice job outing yourself kike.

Talk is cheap, you need to back up things yourself instead of relying on others with words like 'faith' so you can be one of these "loads of anons".

Seriously though , asides what other titles are we talking here?

Eh, it happens over time. Everything degrades with popularity.

What part of first party do you not understand?

...

And your point is what? Do you know what torrents are? Dipshit.

golden sun is gone as well

...

they arent.

8ch is still unlisted on google last time i checked the last shit i remember was when the underage BRnigger added a list of links to the share threads on kikebook but other than that nothing has changed much in those threads

all of it

You mean the most commonly downloaded and redistributed ROMs and ISOs on the website?
Oh no, what a tragedy.

Alright, Metroid games seem to be gone, as well as Zelda. Seems to be for all Nintendo platforms. Didn't look for anything else.

True, things are getting worse though. Slowly.

This.

romhustler.net/
theisozone.com/

Do you really need any other game for the Gamecube?

Dollars to donuts says this shit will still be around 5 years from now , besides didn't Nintendo do something similar back in '06 or '07 ? Seems they just do this shit every X years , nothing comes it , rinse&repeat

Can anybody tell me where I can find japanese PS2 ISO's? I just want the japanese version of Zone of the Enders.

im going to fuck a plastic doll

...

im probably going to buy and hotglue it.

Coolroms removed all nintendo roms

coolrom.com/roms/

completeroms still has stuff up

I have around 1TB spare space, Is it enough to back up all nintendo roms?

If not, I will at least try it. Do you guys know anywhere to download it?

...

Anyone got a link to a GC romset?

Everyone should already have all the complete sets for all the old consoles already on their hard drive.

If you don't, bitgamer.ch has open registration and all the old sets up to the PS2 era are available so if you're a retard and forgot to archive all this you can pick it up there. Just be sure to use an alternate e-mail address and don't sign up with a username or password you use anywhere else because I'm pretty sure the retards running the site can't into user information encryption.

This is why you should just get romsets if you have the space. The few missing obscure titles are usually easy to come by still on sites like that.

This is what nintendofags get. This is what nintendofags support when they buy the new consoles to get the thirtieth identical Mario/Zelda/Animal Crossing/party game pack or "original" titles like "kids' version of a shooter SPLATOON". Thank people like Mark for supporting such a jewish company.

Well I have romsets of everything from NES to 64 and already own physical copies of every Gamecube and Wii game worth a damn.
I'd say the only DS game worth a damn is 999 and that got a Steam release a while back.
Still have a 3DS, played monhun so hard I broke the pad off the control stick and gorilla glue only works so well.
Thinking about getting a new 2DS XL when it comes out so I can play xenoblade and then get Ever Oasis.

Wait, is that legit bitgamer back or like the demonoid honeypots? Registration seems to be failing for one thing.

They deserve everything they get so it's a win-win situation.

Blind loyality to Nintendo cannot be forgiven.

This.
I honestly wish Nintendo would die now, they haven't done anything decent since the GameCube IMO and then they single-handedly started the decline of the industry with their shitty motion gimmicks which brought casuals galore into gaming and thus resulting in the stagnant cesspool we have today.
Nintendo should have taken a hint from Iwata and died along with him.

Now that's edgy.

...

It's mostly true tough, and Nintendo kinda died inside with Iwata
The DS wasn't that bad tough

I don't think it's the same people behind the old sites but I've never had issues downloading from it. Not sure about registration failing.

All old consoles' ROMs are on archive.org, including Nintendo first-party shit. What's the problem here?

Looks like I dodged a bullet

So? There's plenty of emulation sites out there. Who cares?

We can also use Vimm's.

checked
Actually yeah the DS was okay.
I'll change that to: everything after and including the wii has been trash.

HOWARD
LINCOLN

What would the industry be like if Nintendo died with the Gamecube instead of Sega with the Dreamcast?

Oh no anons, I'm on your side, nintendo is cancer and should die.
I just can't ignore good sharp edge when I see one.

This happens like every other year or something, Nintendo have always been cunts about roms.

Nintendo is the Disney of Videogames. I mean that in a bad way.

he was right about kojima and nintendo all along

Good thing I have all the roms I need:

$ for i in Roms/*; do printf '%s: %d\n' "$i" "$(find "$i" -type f | wc -l)"; doneRoms/gb: 1728Roms/gba: 12Roms/gcn: 49Roms/gen: 1129Roms/n64: 528Roms/nds: 8Roms/nes: 1609Roms/psp: 10Roms/psx: 6Roms/sat: 3Roms/scd: 39Roms/sct: 0Roms/snes: 579Roms/vb: 27Roms/wii: 8

Can you really call something Disney in a good way?

Maybe when Walt was still in charge.

bitgamer.ch registration email code doesnt work cause I cant read their rules since you can read them after logging in, what i am supposed to write in secret code?

Vimms is a magical place. Untouched by time. If Nintendo goes anywhere near it I'll probably lose my shit.

Nintendo and Disney are both sue happy. Nintendo did with the ESRB like Disney did with copyright.

I'm surprised they lasted this long, I expected them almost immediately after CoolROM went to shit with it. Good shit I have fullsets of Ninty oldshit anyway.

ISOZone also got cucked for Nintendo shit, and for some fucking reason, XBox and PS2 shit. Think was general overall I.P stuff, but it happened regardless.

Any nigger got a SEGA CD fullset at all? Seems like the thread to ask, since can't be fucked to go through each separate download on ISOzone.

That's like 4 too many. What are those games user?

Has anyone with the massive ROM packs just gone through the list file by file and played some of the shittier games no one's heard of? Any funny stories or hidden gems?

Shaman king on GBA is surprisingly competent action platformer with good sprite art. Try that.

I remember Coolrom removed Nintendo roms years ago, I believe around 2012 they did this.

Kirby's Return to Dreamland
Mario Kart Wii
The Mii Channel wad
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Both Super Mario Galaxy games
Super Paper Mario
Wario Land Shake It

I only really play much of the first and last of that set.

Exactly the same.

Dying would have not stopped motion controls.
Nintendo dying would have not stopped Microsoft from dudebroing the industry.
Nintendo and Sega had already laid the groundwork for social gaming and online gaming in the 90s, so dying in the 2000s would have not changed anything.

The good news is , no one would be hurting for another F-Zero.
The bad news— No pokemon porn.


There's something horribly wrong here.


Holla Forums and schizophrenia, not even once.


Captain Novolin is the dark souls of diabetes.

Magic Yarn is worth your time if you play Kirby. Easy as fuck but I can't think of a more comfy game.

Oh shit man, you have like 2/10 taste.

You'd better be talking about Other M and not the Prime Trilogy, you son of a bitch.

I can't find an iso of this little bastard. I want to play it once, even if it's shovelware.

The Prime Trilogy is something that I can't blame the original fans for not liking, but are retarded if they think they're bad games by any stretch. I actually like 3 the most but 2 is probably the best

Didn't the movies with non-whites actually earn LESS than ones WITH whites? That's a pretty fucking bad business decision if you ask me famalam tbhimo

3D metroids are shit.
Fusion is shit too, probably even more than 3D ones.
Deal with it waifufag.

I try so hard to like Metroid games. I really do. But something about them put me to sleep. I played a bit way through the first real area in Prime but something about it would just really fall off and I'd get bored. It sucks because they seem respectable, I might try again sometime.

Wouldn't be 8/v/ without them

It would be really cool a torrent called "Nintendo molesting pack" where there are complete Nintendo Ds Roms FULL packs and Nintendo Advance FULL pack + NES, N64 and SNES (of the nintendo GAMES ONLY)

No, really, who cares?
There's shittons of other emulation sites out there, and Holla Forums has share threads all the fucking time. Emuparadise getting fucked is no big deal.

It is for the normalfags who depend solely on it.

DopeRoms is pretty nice, but I don't know if they've been hit yet.

Are there any "essential" first party Nintendo games to be emulated that the majority here have not already played at least once?

If taking them off helps emuparadise stay up for everything else, I'm good.

Didn't this happen a fucking year ago? Or was that Coolrom?
As dumb as it is, they have every right to do this and anyone who says otherwise is fucking delusional. Why the fuck would they want to let piracy be so accessible? Because they adore Holla Forums so fucking much?

Oh no, a couple faggots will screech for a bit, this is surely the end of Nintendo!

You're right about Nintendo drones. But in this case it's like taking down a torrent site. Unless they go full lawyer and take down dozens of sites we should be fine.

Then again a lot of sites might have roms that might not be available on any other site.

Bait.

And no, I don't think this is good, but what is there to do against it?

The only essential first party nintendo game is super metroid.

...

...

No, this is the actual bait.

I really don't understand why anyone would even bother to type this out other than for weak bait purposes. It's such an empty fucking statement. No one cares whether they're in their right or not, nor is anyone arguing they're not.

autism

That's not what this is about. It's about downplaying the fact Nintendo are being jews again by going "it's just one website though! who cares??"

Capitalism isn't incompatible with anti-whiteness. Note how politicians talk about terrorism and demographic replacement: Even if dead white people weren't intrinsically good to them, the financial cost of terrorism isn't enough to offset the financial benefits of a brown serf class.

The Mario games are mostly for my son.
I've already played No More Heroes and the Metroid games to death. I mostly just got the isos for games I haven't played and always wanted to.


The gb, gen, n64, nes, vb, and snes are the full set of US games, as those are small enough and compress even smaller. The disc-based systems I have to be pickier for because the ISOs are so large.
No PS2 games because I couldn't get pcsx2 working and gave up on it.

So what IS the argument?
That Nintendo are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!

cuck

There is none, which is why your terrible bait falls flat. OP asked a question.

You're really bad at this.

Emuparadise was never to great to begin with is why I'm not really that pissed. And what do you plan to do anyway? Like I said it's like a torrent site being taken down. Nobody likes it but we just move to another site.

Anyone got a good source for the Gamecube/Wii era of games (including non-Nintendo) that don't involve bullshit like this? Torrent magnets or anything?

Hol up officer jerkings, we're not pirating here! Have a good day!

How's that? I knew I could always find whatever I was looking for on there.

It's about being anti-consumer mostly. I can use your argument for pretty much any other company that gives little regards for it's customers. It really makes you sound like the worst shit eating bootlicker.


So what IS the argument?
That EA are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!

So what IS the argument?
That Ubisoft are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!

So what IS the argument?
That Konami are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!


So what IS the argument?
That Microsoft are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!

So what IS the argument?
That Kotaku are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!


So what IS the argument?
That Zenimax are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!

So what IS the argument?
That Bethesda are being meanie poopyheads? Oh no, they wanna make money, what kikes!


This is how you sound.

It's just bloated is all. On Vimms I can pretty much find any game in a simple list and download it easily. Emu has you go through a giant list and shit. Not as simple.

Not to mention Emuparadise has some nifty stuff like dev kits for the old consoles (PS1, N64, etc) and a bunch of documentation on them. I wonder if those got hit yet.


I'm onto you, user.

Shutting down piracy isn't being anti-consumer. You might as well say that stores are anti-consumer for having loss-prevention.

Your analogies retarded, unless you're strictly talking about those companies shutting down piracy websites, which would also be reasonable.
I like my roms and all, but you'd have to be a fucking vegetable to think that any company who doesn't just let it slide is "anti-consumer".

It's anti-consumer when you'd take something extremely outdated down and re-sell the same product for 15+ bucks a pop. Call me a vegetable, I really don't give a fuck.
If Nintendo had better deals when selling their old ass games, then we'll talk.

Please don't lewd Shantae, she's pure.

Is the most retarded question I have heard all week. There is nothing to do. They're in the right, legally and otherwise.


Is it anti consumer of them to sell them at all, rather than putting them out for free? Is it anti-consumer to not hand out Switches and 3DSs for free as well?

Imagine fucking that gondola.

I just realized. Does that mean that if you bypass their crappy anti-adblock window you're basically pirating their website?


I can agree that it's a bit cluttered, yes. That's about it though.

...

I prefer the philosophy that pirates are your competitors in the industry. It's funnier to think about and you realize pirates offer better services and products (since they remove defective features like DRM) than the companies themselves. If they want to evangelize pirates, they have to take new approaches.

Off with you stupid fucking drone.


You wouldn't pirate a website, right?

Good for you, I guess. But there's plenty to do about it.
You're just pretending to be retarded now. Go play video games or something. You're not getting any more (you)'s from me.

Every single post here is just "oh just use another website I guess".
Wew, what a great protest.

Do you even know if half of these games are out on virtual console?
Ninty lost the right to make money when they stopped trying to listen to the gamers and launched the switch.


you wouldn't download a car, would you, user-kun?

user from earlier here, here's the torrent to my small collection of Nintendo Gamecube, Wii, and Wii Virtual Console games (that I got ALL from Emuparadise).
Please share far and wide, just this small bundle can make Nintendo kikes kvetch hard.

puu.sh/wfryB/cadaf1d067.zip

Reminds me of this.

I fucking HATE those people, user. I'm one angry motherfucker and it pisses me off when people suck corporate chode. When people let it pass simply because they have a bias and "It's okay when [X] does it" and "It's the law! Just LET them fuck you over, goy!!". It sets my rage into overdrive. This stupid shit has to STOP.

That makes a whole fuckload more sense and fuels my argument against them even moreso. If pirates can offer better services than a multi-billion dollar corporation, then you [the company] are clearly doing something wrong. Now people in this very board are defending Nintendo (for free) due to brand loyalty, nostalgia and an emotional connection that makes them think they can do no wrong. It's fucking pathetic, like being a corporate whiteknight.

It's understandable if a [modern] console has JUST been cracked and they're trying to plug in all the holes, because they're losing an extreme amount of sales due to pirates, but that does NOT apply here.

They stopped listening to Holla Forums. Or rather, they never did listen to Holla Forums. But normalfags, which are viewed as gamers and technically are, love it. And they're where the real shekels are.

Just because you don't like it, does not make it anti-consumer.

post in sharethread, my fortuitous nigger


To be fair, he probably isn't even a cocksucker. The smugs are too on-point to be anything but a shitposter's work. That being said, we've overcome worse. We're all gonna make it, brah.

Thank you.

For reference.

bigboygames.com.br/nintendo-wii-u-s1096/

Isn't that the gayass site that makes you register for an account before you can download the roms?

Anti-consumer, by definition, could be construed as any stance worse than it was in the past.

Fact is, consumers don't necessarily care. Rather than complain about such things, we can just hang back and watch one or the other self-destruct as per usual.

Chill, fag.


always

Didn't force register, but had a lot of needless fluff and pages to get to the actual download. Coupled with annoying captchas. It isn't the worst place to grab ROMs.

what a time to be alive

Also, they have happy hours, which is pretty rad.

see

Not that I think piracy is wrong, but removing games from websites that offer their download illegally is completely withing nintendo's right.

What's the big hoopla?

I raise my kids to be gay because it's within my right.

in other news: how to fuck up a reply you know you got right

There is no legal way we can fight it so all we can do, assuming we ever do something (we don't) is put games in a separate host unitl it also gets DMCA'd or whatever and so on and so on

Oh god, you've done it.
You've found the perfect metaphor, this is incredible.

In all of my life I never thought I would see this moment, but here I am

Nothing. The law is the law, now, go and pay for child support while downloading all the rightfully overpriced DLC the companies worked so hard on and the expansion passes with Denuvo for your windows 10 desktop, powered by Shekelbergâ„¢ programs and bonzy buddy. There is no way around it. It's the law.
Also, visit our forums, but if you dare complain about anything you STILL legally bought and overbought, you WILL be banned.

You're welcome.

To be fair I never would have noticed this without the first reply.

If you've bought it why don't you rip the game yourself so you can emulate it?

It's moreso comparable to being a pimp, and wanting to make money off of people fucking your bitch rather than she hand out freebies.

I can emulate PS4 games?

The Virtual Console prices are shit for sure. Shutting down rom sites is not anti-consumer, though. There are legal ways to get around it regardless. Buy the console and the game used, and they won't touch you; you can get those shitty NES clones for like $15. Or just download the roms, they still won't touch you. You're conflating two tangentially related things (Virtual Console being shit and the company shutting down piracy sites). They aren't the same thing.

I raise my kids to think that it's bad to pirate game and suck cock instead. Pretty comparable if you ask me. Did you get the same treatment from your parents?

You can't download PS4 games or emulate them, what's your point?

can you at least try and look human

That sometimes corporations abuse the power they're given and you anal sucking shitsponges give them the OK.

Stopping people from illegally downloading your products is abusing their power?
Are you a commie?

Even if you could emulate the ps4, what games?

Bloodborne and uh…
uh

Wait
I got it
Fuck

Bloodborne and Persona 5, I suppose.
It's been 3 years now, I think.

I think you might be able to use The Iso Zone, but they have a limit on download speed for games
theisozone.com/

You can stop posting Marche.

As commie as any such argument may or may not be, let's look at the facts here.

So now we have incentive to swap your console out for a PC.

And now you have incentive to expand your library. Everyone online who has gripes about the way consoles are going has incentive to crack them.
You know who's giving them this incentive? The fucking corporations.


It may be "within their right" to ignore the most glaring issues of their models and blame everything on pirates, that doesn't make it correct. Same goes for piracy, if you'd like this debate silenced.

So of course, instead of supporting good games, it's better to pirate them to show that making a quality product is completely worthless.

I don't know what you're trying to prove here by talking about denuvo or switching from console to PC, this has nothing to do with that.
Nothing is being blamed on pirates. I know piratefags have the world's thinnest skin and always think they're being blamed for everything, but that's not what's happening here.

They removed illegal downloads because that's what they are, illegal.
If you spent 5 years working on a game and people were downloading it for free, you'd do the exact same.

HOLY SHIT. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THESE YEARS!?

I think this might be an indication Nintencuck might try to take another serious jab at the VC for the Switch and want to smash any pirated competition. But at the same time, we've been through this song and dance, and if the Wii, Wii U, and 3DS are any indication, they'll slowly fuck up and give up selling retro games and in turn a source of free roms and isos will fill the demand better than Nintendo.

I remember the old site Emuasylum back in the day (2004) that pulled its Nintendo roms. Then we migrated to Coolrom. Then they got slammed and we moved to Emuparadise. It's a cycle of life at this point.

If the game is good and the company isn't shit, a significant amount of pirates can be evangelized into paying customers. This is the state of the industry whether they like it or not.

Do you have any example of that happening, ever?

I'm a piratefag myself but can't understand how some of you aspies think that Nintendo should "die" over this

get out of the commune and learn how the world works you filthy pinkos

Hotline Miami 2?

This. I bought 1 as well. Good game, no need to pirate. Same goes with a lot of indie titles that weren't shit.

You're not a piratefag, you're nothing but a shitposter who is ID hopping trying to stir shit.

If you've looked at the effects of piracy for ANY length of time, you'll notice that more often than not, good games make money and bad games get pirated to hell.

I'm saying that companies can only stop piracy by ceasing to encourage it a la Streisand effect.

Furthermore, the people working on those games aren't issuing takedowns. They worked on those games ages ago and already gave up hope of them selling anymore. A department of Nintendo separate from the developers is doing it. It's their job, and they protect company property with as much feeling as those responsible for hiring them. Which is, to say, absolutely none. You have no reason to say "what would you do if you were an artist" because that's not even an element into play.

Indies enter the market without all that hired fucking muscle because they know they can sell games if they just do a good job.

All I can find is that the dev said to pirate it if it's banned in australia
Is that what you're talking about?

Nintendo's already dead. It's nothing but walking shells full of sheckles now.

That's the bunny. I pirate the first game and bought the second, even if the game turned out to be windowed

They only appeal to retards and children now….and since the world appears to be producing too many retards they will probably become the industry leader.

whatgamesare.com/2011/01/love-your-pirates-heresy.html Good timing, because I was about to bring this up. Addresses how setting up the brand and accepting early piracy ends up making later products more likely to be bought while the audience is growing (assuming the brand isn't shit and we're not limiting scope to imageboards)

That has 0 to do with what you were just talking about. A good game is bought because it's good and doesn't have bad practice behind it.

You mean like Fallout 4 and Ubi games?
Oh yeah, totally, those haven't made any money.

What do you mean it's not even an element that is into play? These are games that Nintendo paid devs to make, the money from these sales always goes to Nintendo, not to the developer.

They didn't remove every single Wii game on emuparadise, they removed the stuff they made. Which is stuff that was made by nintendo, which is OF COURSE, protected by Nintendo's lawyers.

What kind of fucking mental gymnastics do you have to do to get to this point?

I'm not going to bother to reply to everyone I saw showing this belief ITT because I'm actually playing video games but if you think the quality of a product is in any way related to it's success you're fucking retarded.

Okay, I mean I'm glad you've done it, but Hotline Miami 1 sold more than 2 so I don't think you can really use this as proof that this is something that works in a grand scale

This is really good.

It's either going to get bad, or REALLY bad. It's a fucking garbage feeling seeing people from the Wii days become shallow whores who no longer bash DLC, Skylanders like locked content (Amiibos), or prioritize core gameplay, but instead, care more about making the game cinematic and pretty instead of f u n. This board is the only saving grace, and from this thread, we're already being run with the halfchan/reddit NIDF.
It was only a matter of time I suppose.

To be fair, if a game is over 10 years old, it should really be free.
The devs got paid, the company made its money and everyone has had their cut.
After that point, not only does it make obtaining an old game difficult but also getting it to work, since you might have to deal with scratched discs and old hardware.

From a business perspective copyright makes perfect sense, but everything after 10 years is pure jewry.

Yeah, the English versions of games aren't so hard to find, it's the Japanese versions that are the rarity.

So after 10 years I should be able to use any file on your computer?

Holy fuck you better be baiting

The files on my computer aren't a product you fucking retard.

Alright, I agree that quality isn't the most defining characteristic of a game to produce sales but to say it's in no way related really is stretching it.

Capitalism and modern intellectual property rights are just as Jewish as Communism.

If you support the right of international corporations to exert control over arbitrary data as though it were actually fucking scarce, and at that data that they haven't sold for fucking decades, then you're a shabbos goy of the highest order.

How are they not a product?

Who sold it at any point?

They're not for sale. This isn't rocket science.

I wish I still had happy hours.

Maybe it at least means a new competent VC service.

Now this is some impressive denial

Alright alright, you win goodest goy of the year. Now go

K I K E

Those are a mixture of mainstream and latest platform. They're either impossible to pirate, or their shithooked audience from what good games preceded them are too stupid to know any better. The circumstances vary.

Shit, nigga, either you're the one doing mental gymnastics, or you need to work on your phrasing.
Either way, once again: They literally have no reason to stamp out emuparadise. Pirates are always too resourceful to let just one site takedown affect them, you mong. And their pay from old IP is utterly insignificant, they're on fucking ditched platforms. I mean, do you honestly believe that Virtual Console and backwards compatibility revenue is enough to justify this where any profit is concerned?
Keeping lawyers on payroll so you can use that muscle isn't protecting your IPs, it's a purely symbolic and wholeheartedly petty "fuck you" that not only accomplishes nothing, but explains to the world exactly how little you understand of the market you chose to delve into.

Those are my mental gymnastics. Feel free to correct me if I missed anything.

The people with your advertising aggregate ID.
If you are using any Operating system released since 2004.

Use another site. Or torrents. Basically, not be a retard,

Congratulations for being the dumbest faggot in the thread.

Slow down Moshie, you are outing yourself way too soon. :^)

Who's advertising my files? You're fucking retarded.

You're such a silly boy. I'm not selling MY files.
Your logic would be like DEMANDING Nintendo to give you unreleased betas, test files and cancelled games that they never even announced in the first place.

Here, have this download.
mega.nz/#!XM8X1LwK!AIA7zYel04qa0lcc5SSGkFux6lwNSYv7Tm0OfdZgvAI
This is a product, finished, packaged, sealed and sent. They published it.
Let's say, it was on sale 10 years ago.
Now it's going to become (and it is NOW) harder and near impossible to obtain this very file from someone who isn't me. That's when you can take it and make it yours, not in copyright (obviously), but in package. As an eternal archive.

I want to see where you take this.

Don't forget nearly %45 of a games budget going into advertising. It's amazing people don't pirate more when they look at blatant advertising hype and lies.

Ah I see, so what you wrote is only true in very exclusive and particular situations and only applies in those cases where it proves you're right?

The whole argument of
Is fucking stupid.
Anybody sane of mind would try to stop someone else making money from something they own.

This isn't even about backwards compatibility, Wii and GC games can't be bought via VC, so it's clearly not a way to make money from that. This is being done because a website that has nothing to do with you is making profit from something they don't own and because they clearly just don't want people downloading their shit illegitimately, I mean it's not that complicated.

user, I…

Probably cause 1 got shilled to hell and back, 2 got a little less of it, relying on it's established brand. Like every one else is saying, games making money has nothing to do with games being good. If all you care about is making money, don't invest into art.

What's in the link genius?

Also, It's not a product because I didn't classify it as one.
If I sold "Durngle 6000" and put it up, then you could take it, but if I didn't, and kept it to myself. Nobody has do (nor can) do jack, because there is no reason, or specific demand to do it.
Your logic hurts my brains.

Phantasy Star Music Collection (early games)
Really good stuff if you're a PSO fan, the archive actually is rare, download it or save it to your own MEGA.

They only did that for Wii isos at the behest of the autistic faggot that was offering the isos through their forums.

They did implement a captcha, but it was after a ddos attack in 2011, when everyone thought the site was dead.

Anybody sane of mind wouldn't buy terrible games either, but here we are. And piracy will always exist. You're retarded if you think otherwise.
This is to retarded to even debate against but here I go. Emu sites don't make profit. They hold on to games for people to enjoy because otherwise they wouldn't be available. Do you want to put your faith in the fanbase interested in the hobby, or a greedy company interested in money? It's an obvious choice. I have more faith in the fans to preserve something than a company that could care less.

There's nothing illegitimate about it if it's not available otherwise. And it's even more illegitimate to pay for a re-release when it's not going towards the people who made it.

"the provided key is invalid"

I just clicked it, try another browser, or MEGASync/Jdownloader

And this has to do with this because…?
Are you saying Mario 64 is a bad game?


Oooooh, is that why it doesn't have any ads?
I can't believe Emuparadise has been doing us such a great service all these years and getting nothing in return.

Oh wait, it IS full of ads you absolute fucktard. Every site that offers downloads for old games illegally is full of ads.

If you don't own the game you have no right to download it. That's it.
If you want to own it then go buy it. Just because it's not available for the original console anymore doesn't mean that it gives you the go ahead to torrent it.

Holy shit

...

...

Gee it's almost like popular sites hosting a fuck ton of content costs money to keep running.

This would be nice if we were all rich jews in the top. If anything, this is more fitting to a CEO, but I know you're just funposting. My turn.

That is my point. You have none. There's no reason to actually go through the effort of stopping somebody from piracy when the game will sell anyway.

It's called server hosting costs. Are you so inept that you're just going full tinhat on me? And they're making money from ads. Not from the roms. Jesus fuck you're a good goy.

If I can't download it in any other way I have every right to download it. You're in support and advocating that games should die. Go fuck yourself you stupid cunt. Only a marketer or a braindead fanboy would actually think this.

There are games that aren't available at all. And games that are re-released with inferior changes and with worse practices. You're fucking retarded. Go suck on a shoe.

I wholeheartedly believe that, but can you gimme a source anyways?


I actually lost the anons' compilation of this, so I have nothing to back that claim up. Shit. I don't believe in what you just said, but I'll at least concede.

Please forgive me, I've been stumbling through this like I'm inebriated. I'll try and address things more concisely.

If I had hired a dev team to make a game ages ago and didn't hold any hope of decent payouts from it ever again, only to find out a site was making revenue from hosting a DL of it, do you know how many fucks I'd give? Do you know how much I'd care if someone made romhacks of my IP which aren't proven to impact sales? If they made them from my very own game ideas? (They took down those too)

I wouldn't give a shit, because I'd be busy trying to keep my consumer base by making good games instead of wasting my time and resources enforcing DMCA on dead IPs.

please explain what you mean by this, because i'm wholly stumped

Correct.
Damn, really? I thought Wii U was doing that.

There is no reason for me to believe that wanton DMCA for dead platforms is beneficial to Nintendo in any way.


what are you talking about? we're talking about old, good games, not the effects of modern piracy

He's right, they make tons of ad revenue dude.


The only retail which would legally do this is an online scalper.
Fuck that.

I should add that there are many emu sites that don't host adds. So your argument is invalid even then.

thankfully, tomorrow there will be 10 new sites trying to fill the void that emuparadise left. I remember those kikes also shut down n-roms.de
it was one of my staple sites whenever I wanted some roms.

Care to list all the ones you know? Asking for a friend.

I don't have anything on my drive right now. But if you look at graphs on where most AAA game budgets go the marketing is almost always above a quarter of the costs.

I'm talking about how games today are bought despite them being bad. The argument that piracy can be stopped by people being "sane" enough to stop doing it would be just as successful as telling people to stop buying the trash we see today.

I would actually be happy to see people enjoying it and it also helps you sell other products you make in the future

"Any sane person" my fucking ass.

Read the thread. They're already listed.

This is so fucking retarded. It's like saying there's no reason to burn money since you can always earn more.

But they don't.
Because once you own it you can play it whenever the fuck you want, no matter how you earn it, be it digital or physical.
Fuck off.

Damn that's harsh dude, the 12 year old in me is very offended


Okay, say you personally wouldn't give a fuck. Are you actually saying that nobody, ever, would give a fuck about someone making money off their own work?

Is it really that hard to come to terms with that?

Nope. Even though GC is fully playable from homebrewed consoles.
But you know, Nintendo's retarded.

But it's not detrimental either. So why let someone else give away something you own when you can just both fuck these people and protect your games?

If you actually want to play Mario64 in 2017 THAT badly, then you should either already have a way to play it on the original console, or you should buy it.
That's just how I feel about it, I can understand how someone could disagree.

Is that why Skyrim sold well despite being a terrible game? You're the retard here.

I can do the same by downloading it from an emu site. What's your point? And if people like you allow this shit to continue they're going to start enforcing streaming only on many games. Which leads to trials, which leads to subscriptions to play your fucking game. Isn't the Switch doing this right now with its older titles being available only if you pay a monthly service? Jesus you're an idiot. I can't say it enough.

This has entirely nothing to do with what you quoted

Well hopefully you won't anymore :^)

The fact you think that argument holds water here shows how nee you are.
Your feelings are not an argument
Then why waste everyone's time arguing about this bullshit you fucking Nintendo dick riding faggot

*new you are

I think you've lost track of your own argument. You're not going to stop piracy by saying people should think in a "sane" way when it's that very sanity that allow people to still play the game in its purest form.

Nice to know you've run out of arguments. We're at the point now where I just laugh at you.

You said "Any sane person." At least own up to that one.
My argument is that they're the complete opposite of sane for trying so hard over something so inconsequential.

Babe, that's the only tune I've wanted you to whistle.

If it's not productive, it's counterproductive, because getting things like that done costs resources. Even if it doesn't alienate them PR-wise, there's no real reason to continue aside from making a futile gesture. Ninty loses on this deal no matter which way it's spun so long as the positives don't eclipse it.

Our family used to be poor as fuck lol, my mom's friend used to let me borrow it for a week or two on occasion. This is NOT intended to dispute you so much as it is me enjoying the argument cooling off.

From a third party. Nintendo doesn't profit from that in any way, dude. You're basically saying that if you sold me a shirt and stopped making them a couple years later, you'd want me to sell the copy you sold me instead of making more to give away for free. Possibly at a mark-up as high as x5. Does that not strike you as odd…?

WELL HERE IS THE LOGIC. IF NINTENDO DIES THEN THE GAMES BECOME ABANDON WARE. IN WHICH CASE WE CAN BUY THEM FROM GOG.COM WITH A BUILT IN EMULATOR FOR $10-$20 PER GAME!

Damn, how can I possibly argue with that logic?
You bested me, sir


And my point is that it's not inconsequential.
This makes sense.

You do know that all you have to do to get this done is send a letter to the website?
It's possibly the lowest effort legal action.
Most times they don't even write a new letter, they just use one that was pre-written.

I honestly would, not even kidding.

I do understand the whole "giving money to a third party argument", and I do agree that Nintendo doesn't get anything from that (apart from VC games), but it's still better than someone just giving it away for free at absolutely no cost whatsoever.

And yes, while there are scalpers for old NES, SNES and 64 games (which are on VC), Stuff for GC and Wii are still relatively cheap, so it's not even about giving money to scalpers.

i-i only bit it once okay

They did the same thing to coolrom a while back. It's disappointing since it's not like anyone buys shit from the eShop.

I'm afraid It's no longer bait user. I wish I had the picture of the fish biting its own bait.

Every single time with these threads, that or they go with the "they must defend their IPs or risk losing them!" bullshit. I hope its bait but you just know there are plenty of brainwashed corporate whores out there defending unethical practices because its legal. Boggles my mind to see people defend companies like they are their friends

Because it's not. Post games that failed because of Piracy. Protip: You can't.


If he's putting effort into his posts it's a good excersize in seeing another opinion and why it's wrong. I've never seen a factually solid argument for anti-pirate fags. And I probably never will. But if one of them decides to put up a bunch of bullshit "facts" I'll have the knowledge to prove them wrong because I spent time debating why those facts are wrong. Also because I think he's actually serious. Which is just sad. At the very least if you stomp out retards like this, you're probably guaranteeing that this mental illness won't grow here.

When I said it costs resources, I was assuming they kept lawyers on retainer in case of resistance. Assuming.

You bested me, sir
Damn, how can I possibly argue against that argument?
You bested me, Nintendo social media intern.

4chan.org/


hello rato

That's not what that discussion is about

user, you made no argument.
What am I supposed to answer you

Your entire fucking argument is about piracy. Post games or fuck off.

My argument is not about games failing because of piracy.
Again, this has nothing to do with what you quoted.

So what are the alternatives/online backlogs? Don't get me wrong, I already saved all the games I wanted up till the WII/DS, but I am sure as hell there's something I missed and I might check out the 3DS stuff for whenever Citra becomes stable.

Prove that you aren't a bona fide Nintendo shill, and stop arguing based on how you "feel". Why are you even arguing still when no one here believes a word of your bullshit?

thank you user

Every argument ever is based on personal belief, so there's quite literally no way to debate or discuss something by taking out the way you personally feel about the issue. Since that's literally what creates the discussion in the first place.

Also calling someone a shill still isn't a smart way of discussing something

Your entire fucking argument revolves around piracy you dumb cunt. Now name a game or fuck off.

Well shit.

I have all the SNES, N64, GBC and GBA games, but I might need to grab a DS, NES and some GCN sometime soon.

My argument revolves around the fact that nintendo has the right and the reason to do what they've done.
I have never mentioned games failing because of piracy, and that is mostly because these games are 20+ years old, and they clearly can't fail if they've already been successful you spaccy faggot

Why is it that all the corporate cucks show up in threads like this but never bother posting in the dedicated piracy threads?

Arguments are also backed objective evidence, and all evidence you've posted has been roundly refuted, only for you to admit "hurr this is how i feel and even if i understand you ill keep running my mouth anyway".

It is when you fucking post like one. Is that for you to even admit "no asshole, I don't work for Nintendo"?

>a smart way of discussing something
You sure would know about smart discussions with your fallacious bullshit arguements.

They're thots user

Please, I'd love to see which.
Or any of the evidence that was posted against me.

(protip, nobody posted anything, because this is a moral discussion, not a "who's right and who's wrong" discussion where you need proof to back up your claims)

Please stop being so gay

Which is completely defeated when that right serves no point. You're basically admitting now to having 0 argument.

Because it's kind of hard aiding in pirating a company's product while on their payroll. That or they're genuine cucks who can't fathom a term like piracy

Don't play gay nintendo shit so not really affected by this. I'm sure the same people that watch literal garbage like Vinesauce are most depressed by this loss though.

It serves the point of stopping people making money off their intellectual property, like I already explained countless other times, and you would know if you actually cared enough about the argument to at least read more than one post

That is seriously some jew level tactic of worming your way out of backing up your bullshit you fucking kike.

We've been shitposting this whole time with Mark, haven't we

Funny, emuparadise didn't sell the roms.

alright user, it's true, you were right all along, even though you haven't read any of the discussion you clearly know better than me or the other user what we were talking about


Oh, you're right.
I'm sure the fact that the site is fill with ads doesn't change that at all too.
Those ads must be there because they want to advertise things they like for free
huh

Oh don't give up user, after all it's a moral argument! Just say "what you FEEL is right" and you'll win :^)

You were already proven wrong about by how sites use ad revenue to account for server costs you dumbfuck. They weren't selling roms to keep the site up, so yes, I have been watching you get blown the fuck out for two hours.

user this board attracts lolbert like flies. Eventually they will start lurking Holla Forums and realize that (((Murray Rothbard))) is just as big of a Globalist Kike as (((Karl Marx))).

????
When did this happen?
Servers cost 20$ a month, with infinite space.

These guys are probably making thousands of dollars with those ads.

Why do you need to argue with dumb shit that you clearly know nothing of?
Goddamn

Proof please.
Yes how dare they make a living selling ADS and not THE ROMS THEMSELVES.

Why do you need to argue with dumb shit missing the point and not backing up your arguments?

Oh yeah, no one needs evidence in this case, it's all "moral".

Shit man, 20 bucks and infinite space? Why in the world does Wikipedia and 4chan ever beg for cash?

user, this is a moral argument, we don't need facts here :^)

ad revenue!=selling roms

You forgot to include bandwidth costs.

Infinite space is a marketing meme. Once you actually use server space and bandwidth you will find that it is a bit less than unlimited and closer to 1-2TB per 30$~. Ads also really don't make a ton of money unless you have some system that lets the advertisers know your site made people come and buy shit , generally tracking, and people generally don't like that and block the tracking or the ads entirely. So you essentially only end up getting ad views from kids and old people who don't really have the ability to steer the purchasing of the public at large or buy things in general.


It is debatable that without the content they provide illegally they wouldn't make the money they make from people "viewing" the ads so they are "indirectly" profiting from pirated content. Or that's probably what it would go to court for if they didn't cave to the C&D.

Rom sites would have far less traffic if publishers didn't jew the shit out of re-releases or just not release old games because
then bitch about rom sites "stealing" revenue they wouldn't get anyway.

Did you clock out for the weekend, faggot?

ITT user has drain bamage

...

hello rato

Nobody's making money from it. And nobody would be able to play many games without those sites. Again. 0 argument.

sauce?

For the record, you can still check via archives for the list of games that have been purged, just so you know what to scavenge for if you missed them the first time.

Darkumbra user. You need to make an account and post to show links which is shit but it has pretty much every Wii and NGC game under the sun. Also, here you go

Your wife's son

you can try to look for them on doperoms or romnation.

The ISO Zone and Planet Emulation too.

okay listen here you little shit. Honeypots are only used in cases like CP, arms dealing and generally illegal shit that the FBI actually cares about and can prosecute for. Even when they are, they stay up for like a month or so, then the FBI acts on them and acts on them to A. get the site shut down ASAP B. Catch as many people as possible before they catch wind that something is up and cover their tracks and C. Not waste money in both server cost and manpower to keep it running. The FBI would not keep a honeypot up and running several years to catch people who are fucking torrenting shit because even if they did have the thousands of copyright holders all prosecuting, you're talking about thousands if not millions of people that would need to be arrested. Stop pushing this nonsense because you wanna look like some hardcore technerd when you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.

Private trackers don't have this problem.

There's also Ni-Oh.
