When I was in school, I bought a Gameboy XPloder for 80 bucks and cheated Mews in Pokemon Red. I sold the Mews to everyone in school for 5 bucks a pop and made back way more than I invested. I don't care if Nintendo finds out because I was 12 when comitting this heinous crime. As a bonus, I also never taxed those business profits. Checkmate capitalists.
Checkmate capitalists.
You didn't beat capitalists; you joined them!
Don't be ridiculous, he seized the means of Mew production.
monocle pops off face in shock
Holy shit man, Lex Luthor over here!
Next week: Paco Guttierez, age 9, arrested and sued for $200 million after building a cardboard Nintendo game because his family couldn’t afford the real thing
Nintendo please stop. I really liked you
The first mistake was liking a company.
They honestly used to be really solid. I've been there since the NES. During the GameCube days my house burned down. I had happened to order a cable and then it, of course, got sent back to them. I had completely forgotten about this and they called me to ask if the note was correct that the package was undeliverable because the house being gone.
They sent me a new GameCube and five games of my choosing.
nintendo only does reletively good when their consoles struggle.
whenever they hit something sucessful, they become shrewed and start removing features/make a worse experience at times.
3ds strugles, nintendo gives 20 retro games for free. wiiu struggles, many bogo offers. Switch is sucessful, removes paid for emulated games and pushes them into a subscription service, removes local save backups, removes browser, charges 20$ for online, objectively have a worse online experience to both the WiiU/3DS in many instances. Half asses some games, increases the price of ported games (e.g Tropical Freeze on the WiiU was 50$, then a 20$ nintendo select late in its life, was a 60$ game on the switch)
You're confusing Nintendo, the company, with the people who work at Nintendo (minus the corporativist scum). They absolutely have some of the best game devs in the world. They also suck and degrade the gaming sphere on a regular basis.

I feel the same. Over the recent years it's becoming abundantly clear that Nintendo hates their fans. It's actually really sad and disappointing.
For example:
- Smash Sports exists DESPITE Nintendo
I haven't liked Nintendo since they decided to just take 30% of all the money Gary Bowser ever makes for the rest of his life, for the crime of modifying hardware that people own so that they can use it however they see fit.

It’s a good thing they got that scoundrel off the streets before anyone got hurt… /s
Disgusting criminal scum!!! /s
Cops in japan literally has nothing to do. I bet they're excited to finally see some action.
You know that Japan has crime? You know that large crime orgs operate in Japan? Everything from drug trafficking, sex trafficking, extortion, protection rackets, arms smuggling is happening.
Exactly. If I were a cop there I'd feel much safer arresting nerds that modify save files.
Nonsense! They used to stop me all the time for riding a bicycle under the influence of being not Japanese!
The world is safe for another day.
Easy headline to lol at, but this poor guy is fucked. He was doing it to earn a living, now he faces 5 years in jail and/or a $32k fine.
Just another reminder that Nintendo and the Pokemon Company both hate your guts. They see you as an obstacle between them and your money, and they'd kill you if they thought it profitable. Pirate everything. It's always morally correct.
Hold on, you can sell made up pokemon that are slightly edited for $84 a pop?
What?
You can buy jpegs for 100k and sell them for 84 bucks too
Urls of Jpegs lol. Not the actual image.
$84! Has the price gone up recently? LOL
He's selling modified game save files it sounds like. No Pokémon were hurt or genetically modified in this man's pursuit of profit.
Ah so he was commiting temporal anomalies and risking a subspace collapse from tampering with multiversal duplication.
5 years in prison sounds too lenient (/j)

Nintendo moment
WTF, is there no death sentence in Japan for crimes against humanity and the damage done to rich peoples bottom line? /s
I still remember when they went after the R4 devs and it accomplished nothing because there were already at least 30 other flashcarts by that point with hundreds of R4 copies.
dystopia dystopia dystopia dystopia
This is too much, this has to stop. Can't we do anything??
Don't buy anything from a Japanese video game company.
No that vote with your wallet shit has gotten old and crusty. I can't think of a single company that has worked for. There needs to be legal consequences for this, fight fire with fire
