Do either of you know of a great warrior by the name of loves2spooge?
He fought with my father, DildoShwaggins.
Taodung com has the update but not the base.
My friend wants me to ask what site you're avoiding
In case you didn't see it, someone commented where it is.

Now all the emulator devs just need to please not brag about being able to emulate it.
Good fuck Nintendo lol
Oh boy, someone's getting sacked hard
And if you are wondering why Sony is killing physical games...
We'll keep wondering cause the shift to digital clearly isn't stopping piracy.
Like almost everything, it isn't about stopping piracy entirely.
Physical copies get sold early by stores/cashiers that don't care. Or they get outright pocketed/copied at the factories and warehouses. Which lead to the constant "This nintendo game leaked a week or a month or whatever early". Which... less so after the lawsuits but it means emulators can be updated to support the games before they even hit shelves.
Digital only doesn't entirely stop that. But it tends to lead more toward "an unknown fake influencer posted all the cutscenes of this game online a week early".
These fuckers should just release digital first, and physical comes when it's done being printed and distributed. This anxiety over "oh no a finished game got leaked early" is manufactured drama. If the game is done, then it doesn't matter when it gets released, except for artificial marketing angst. Make a good game that players want, and it'll be purchased. Eventually. It doesn't have to all happen at exactly the predicted moment.
Yeah i agree. Ffxvi just came out on pc and square is whining about not hitting sales goals. Like visions of mana just came out and im still playing that. Give me a couple months to buy the game, dorks
Releasing physical months after the digital release basically guarantees you are only selling to enthusiasts and it no longer is economically viable. That is why companies like LRG exist.
Is saving the game from an early leak worth getting rid of physical games? I hope not.
I might be unique in this but I'll never "buy" a digital game. They're impossible to resell and I can't lend it to friends or my kids, they'd need my account or console. Plus I'll have the physical game forever, digital games are only good as long as the servers are up.
I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this, so if companies stop offering physical games then I'm not going to buy them. (I'll just pirate). I've preordered Zelda from GameStop. I support the content I want more of, like Zelda games, and I'll continue to buy each one. If I don't, then they might not make more.
I have no interest in physical games. I'm not willing to carry around 300 cartridges or only have access to a small portion of my library. But Nintendo has to know that physical game collectors are a big portion of their audience (with probably more than any other platform in either raw number or proportion). They can't abandon physical.

Because you can't easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?
lol Nintendo are the only ones who get their games pirated, because they use antique hardware.
Also, I feel like they kinda deserve it for being global vexatious litigants and squashing free fan projects at every opportunity.
Yep. This is for fucking PalWorld assholes patent trolls
You get what you fucking deserve
A quick look at TPB's top 100 games tells me that was a lie.
It's not the "antiquity" of the hardware. It's that the chipset was known and they forgot to lock the bootloader.

i hate people so much :(
oh no! big corpo nintemdo is gonna be so sad!
lemme play a song on the world's smallest violin.
But...but...there might be spoilers!!
I think it's so silly how every article about this talks about the danger of spoilers because the game leaked early. There are going to be spoilers galore once the game officially releases in a few days. What difference does it make?

lemme play a song on the world's smallest ~~violin~~ ocarina.
Ooohhhh nooobody givvvvess a shiiiit
I've got it up and running in Yuzu with prod.keys 18.0. At least I watched the opening cinematic. Not that interested in playing. Just seeing if it was true.
It... Kind of sucks.... I don't think I'll even bother to open my physical copy when it arrives.
I think the idea is neat to echo monsters but to have that be my main attack, it's not fun for me.
