I’m a fairly pro consumer guy. But this is blatantly piracy of current games. By going to court and inevitably losing he’s going to help Nintendo establish precedent that will hurt us all.
The only reason that I can think of as to why Nintendo would do this is because they are planning on adding more virtual consoles to the Nintendo online membership in the future. GameCube, Wii, Wii-U, etc.
The original case that establish emulation as legal(but not ROMS) was brought by Sony; they lost yet the other company went bankrupt despite their victory due to monetary loses brought by the lawsuit.
@@cool3865 Nintendo is notorious for throwing their weight around when it comes to their content. A lot of accounts and videos have been taken down and blocked for even say negative things about Mario.
Nintendo has a legal department and lawyers gonna lawyer. Even so, they don't have unlimited resources so a lot of what they do will be focused on supporting Nintendo's business strategy. Switch 1 => Switch 2 is likely going to be forwards and backwards compatible. That means a Switch 2 selling point may be it plays Switch 1 games better. It also means for the first time ever physical and digital library will carry forward. This is why for this generation Nintendo is cracking down on modders and emulators so late in the generation; controlling the way software is run between the two generations is particularly important to them this time around.
We call this....A LOST CAUSE !! Nintendo owns the rights and PATENTS to all their systems and all their games. If you don't have Nintendo's approval to use any of them no matter how you use them or when they we're released, if Nintendo decides to go after you,......your just digging a bigger hole for yourself bro !! And please don't get me wrong, I am an avid emulator user, but certain lines should never be crossed, like emulating games from a system that is still on the current market. Not mentionning this could attract negative attention to older Nintendo emulators and punish everyone in the process. Really not a good idea !!
Yes, it is because you accept the license agreement. If you read the license agreement that you accept, it's actually worded in there, and if u don't accept the license agreement, then u can't install the game. But who the he'll is going to read over 10,000 pages
I live in a third world country and all I can say is bootlegging switches and PS4 and PS5 it's all they do here and they know how to get away with it because it's a cash business The rest is history
those are not really PS4 and PS5 consoles, this guy is taking nintendo switch consoles that you can still buy, modding them so you can play downloaded roms (and sometimes even pre-loading them) and then selling them. the switch is still being sold
Hey, man may be fighting an unwinnable war, but at least someone is finally taking a stand. I hope he at least exposes some cracks and opens the door for bigger lawsuits.
@@ludoergodoubt it, new emulators pop up often with new emulated software uploaded daily. If anything there will be an increase in piracy. If you aren’t in Japan nothing will happen to you 🤷♂️
@kennypowers1945 he can absolutely do whatever he wants. He solo against a group of well-trained, well-versed, experienced lawyers for a multi-billion dollar corporation who know how to navigate the system. He can totally do that. It is dumb as f***, but he can do it.
Man you guys are so retarded you don't even know the difference between owning something and making a legal reproductions of something. Remember the FBI warning label on all those movies you used to watch telling you not to make reproductions. It's the exact same fucking deal and trying to pretend it's different only makes you look like a fucking moron.
"I may not understand emulation technically or legally, but I support it" -RGT, 2024 Also is he complaining about lack of piracy prevention on Switch games? The very same guy who constantly complains about Denuvo? Say it aint so lol
This isn't a good one to take to court. Also if emulation goes to court and is deemed illegal there will be precedence and every emulator can be taken down due to the new case law.
Many WiiU titles are available on switch, so uploading WiiU roms and playing them on emulators is still wrong in Nintendo‘s view and quite frankly, the law is on their side.
One thing we can all agree with is- The switch eshop is awful! Really would love to see the eshop like the Wii U. Shopping on switch is like scrolling a pdf. Shopping on the wii u was like shopping in a mall with better music
This makes a precedent set legally and is likely negative for the entire emulation scene. This will make it harder for any future pro emulation litigation going forward.
I think Nintendo knows the Switch 2 is going up against other handhelds that are already out there that might be equal or better than the Switch 2 when it comes to specs. So they're doing all this because they know that the exclusives will be the only reason people will pick a Switch 2 over one of the others so that want to protect those at all cost.
Obtaining games illegally is theft. No matter how you spin it. I’m gonna buy your book, and not copy it, I’m just going to provide a website for info on how to copy your book.
He shot himself in the foot if he did provide pirated copies. IF (big if) he didn't distribute pirated copies, he could've opened a go fund me and paid for a law FIRM at the anti-Nintendo people's expense. Palworld's situation would single handedly justify people's reasoning to pay for the mere CHANCE to stick it to the big N.
“Put uppa’ ya dukes Nintendo” But seriously- your all down on Nintendo the same way most the country was with Metallica back in the 90s. Do I need to remind you WHO WAS RIGHT? The constant angry videos imply nobody understands they’re at risk of losing much of what they love about the gaming industry. The partial fix for music was more touring, we get to see our favorite (and often aging) musicians more. Ya’ll gonna pile into your local stadium to watch a programer program? Nope…. there all just gonna leave the gaming industry, thats what.
Don’t it. Not much will happen. For one he isn’t in Japan and two if he does get sued and can file for bankruptcy and go back to normal life a month later 🤣
Wow... some Nintendo youtubers (not you RGT) are kind of dumb for thinking Nintendo is their friend just because they grew up playing Mario. Nintendo doesn't like any form of piracy becoming popular... why is this so hard to understand. They are a 61.6 BILLION dollar company with a cutthroat HR department & Lawyers. You'd have to have a room temp IQ to go against Nintendo... for modding their proprietary hardware with the express purpose of STEALING Nintendo's software. Just go straight to jail bozo.
Someone has to make a stand if everyone just rolls over for Nintendo then they will keep doing it, and rgt FFS stop sticking up for Nintendo, support people who fight the establishment and companies who patent and copyright everything they think of if you OWN a physical copy it's yours to do with "for yourself and own purposes etc and you saying you get Nintendo's points is a joke and they ain't gonna bleed him dry as he has no attorney to do the bleeding only thing he pays is if he loses and I hope he doesn't as you don't pay nothing until you lose
What if you can't shut it off what if that's the whole point what if he's not the one with the password he could have sold it and someone else ain't shutting it off we don't know
@@LG555that’s dumb, Apple, Sony, Microsoft, etc don’t have this issue. Nintendo is just stupid and HATES making money which is why they are smaller than all those companies.
You know NOA is very much based in LA and very much can sue someone from Michigan. Are you actually fucking retarded are are you just here trolling RGTs channel because you think your cool or something?
He's selling items to unlock the Switch's potential. This calls into question the right to repair. If you buy a Switch there is no law, and should be no law, that forbids the user from modifying it, fixing it, breaking it, etc. In fact, legislation has been made to nullify any and all laws forbidding such things. But providing the games? Nah, that ain't gonna work. His answers are bad. He's f'd.
the laws allow you to fix your system (thanks to the lovely lawsuit that Apple lost for that one) but you can't modify the hardware that you own. currently only three states allow the Right to Repair law, California, New York and Minnesota
I really don't like how this drags everything regarding mods and emulation into the mud. If I buy a Nintendo Switch and Nintendo games and then dump a rom of these games and get the product key and firmware of my Switch to play on my PC or Steamdeck with an emulator to get better performance and install mods or run randomizers (especially Pokemon really profits from that), then that should be fine. I bought everything legally so there is no harm for Nintendo and it shouldn't matter to them how and where I play these games I bought from them (although I'm sure Nintendo would disagree but that's on them for not thinking logically). But what this guy is doing with preinstalled pirated games drags all of us down as well. This just sets another precedent for Nintendo as justification to ruin emulation and go after all of us who still buy their products legally.
People people are jealous these days I remember when I got my Nintendo switch in the mail it was the box was already open luckily I was there to get it I bought a sandwich today at the gasoline station the meaning of plastic was inside the sandwich
