Nintendo continues its fight against gamers

If you're in for a REAL challenge while having a hilarious journey through Unova, try PitchBlack and PureWhite ROMhacks, I love these to bits.

found this rather hilarious jump-rope game using Game Freak's IP 
and yes the creators are making  (some) money off of it it is in one of those 1000-in-one handheld arcade consoles (I found this one at Walmart) i think its released by a company called MyArcade

Can someone explain to me why games like Uranium have been taken down, but at the same time I keep on getting bombarded with ads for the mobile app "Monster Dynasty" - which actually takes every single piece of artwork and intellectual peoperty mae by Pokemon, completely debases them and includes them in a crappy freemium game - that the developers sell at HUGE markups...
One would think that Nintendo should be all over them now!

ikr ive been seeing that one and another one: mega something for pc. and when i try to purposly look it up without getting thousands of dl links i cant find anything...

i cropped out the web link in the click-bait poster.
    sides its probably malware or similiar stuff.

That company? --> https://www.myarcadegaming.com/
Looks like a cheap bootleg. But honestly, what IS this weird stuff that Walmart sells??

yep that's the company.

yep that's the company.

Seemed rather suspicious from the first look at their page, taking a closer look at their producs only confirmed this.

Bump for a semi-related topic in gaming news; both Yuzu and Citra have been taken down in a $2.4 million settlement between Tropic Haze and Nintendo

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news...-for-2-4m/

Main reason was that it "facilitated piracy", but this won't stop people from pirating games and playing them on a compromised Switch. I personally used Citra because my 3DS currently needs repairing (again...) and only played games that I either physically own or have a license for on the e-shop.

*Facepalms* Oh Nintendon't , you are proving once more why it was a good idea to boycott you all those years ago. Why can't they let us have nice things without ruining it? Sheese....

Piracy is a problem of service and simply not being able to afford games at their exoberant prices now in days. If you don't got good service, then you're going to get piracy.

If pricing was the main issue, then surely Nintendo would have been having more problems with their profit margins for all these $60 games because the games wouldn't be selling as well as they have, no? 

I think the main problem here is that Yuzu was visibly prominent in the Switch emulation space, which is already a bit of a red flag since it's the current gen console.  Slap on a patreon with (apparently) paywalled access to emulatable content, and that's a bit of a recipe for getting targeted by the legal ninjas!  Sounds a lot like what happened to Uranium when 1.0 released around the time Sun and Moon did.
