Nintendo should really make a new Wario game with the genre of "first-person tooter."

The fact that both the first two comments on this article are from people who are in no hurry to check the status of their Wii U but will check to make sure it isn't permanently broken "when [they] can" speaks volumes to how little most of us care about the system at this point, lol. I leant mine to my nephew and am in no hurry to get it back.

I may buy Color Splash and Rainbow Curse before the eShop shuts down, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to actually playing them because of the hassle of plugging up the Wii U and charging my GamePad. I bought Sonic Boom and Pac-Man Ghostly Adventures 2 late last year as well and have barely touched them. Meanwhile, I've been downloading and enjoying literal dozens of 3DS games ahead of the eShop closure, which illustrates just how much more I care about that device over the other. I'd still love to see Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, and somehow Nintendo Land get ported over to Switch so I can just sell my Wii U and be done with it. Worst console I ever owned.

I never download illegal ROMs, though the major reasons are that 1) I'm not smart enough to know how, and 2) I worry about malicious downloads that install malware on my devices. I also just don't like gaming from a PC. I prefer sitting comfortably in front of a TV.

I don't judge other people who emulate if it's a game that's no longer in circulation. I've been trying to convince one of my buddies at work to emulate Thousand-Year Door if he doesn't think it's worth the hundred-dollar price tag for a used copy. It's such a good game, and it's not his fault Nintendo refuses to re-release it. They make as much money off an illegal rom as they do a used eBay copy, so who cares?

If it's a game available on modern platforms, I don't condone it though. I don't want to sound like a shill who supports bad corporate practices. But there are still individuals who work hard to make these games, and yeah, their pay may not be based directly on how much the game sells. But a game selling poorly may limit their future employment opportunities if the company decides to lay off that particular studio. So if you want more of something and to support the people behind it, I think you should buy it.

I'm not gonna shame prople to death even if they do pirate current-gen games, though. Everyone's financial situation is different, and there are far worse problems in the world. So if I'm privileged enough to be able to buy every game I'm interested in, I don't think I should be devoting time and energy to looking down on people who maybe can't afford every major release. At the end of the day, it's not really any of my business.

My motto is "Piracy: At least its better than murder! 👍"

@SonOfDracula I didn't say the article was superfluous--just the fact they're splitting their Nintendo content between two different websites. The content of the article itself is fascinating, I just don't think this new website is going to pan out for them in the long-run. That's just my opinion, I'm not hating on them. No need to be rude.

@ThePizzaCheese I understand having a different website for each of the 3 major publishers, but I feel like they're spreading themselves too thin with this additional website. Nintendo Life was already posting lots of retro content anyways, so this, so it just seems to me like both sites are targeting the same demographic of gamers. It just feels superfluous to me.

Why has Nintendo Life started posting articles that link to this other website? I never see anyone comment on these, so I don't see what this site accomplishes, other than hindering discussion.

@Damo Ah, I see. Thanks

So, this is a console that lets you emulate games? Does Nintendo not get upset at NL for covering this stuff?
