So let's supose for a moment they do distribute the code, so what? It's really the end of the world?

Nintendo doesn't sell GameCube or Wii games anymore, if you wan't to play them good luck finding the products at good price (also, again, doing it in a second market where Nintendo doesn't earn anything, just the speculators).

We always say that piracy solves a problem, and in this case is to mantain an replay those games that were forgotten. At least Xbox is retro compatible and Sony, although not having all games, has a variety with Plus.

Its true that Nintendo has something similar to Sony, but only with the classic games and only a few, it doesn't have Wii or Gamecube.

Sorry for the long text, but I really hate Nintendo for doing this kind of things. Just a shame they do such great games so people forgive them.

I agree, I think it’s bullshit. The second a console is discontinued and games are no longer sold new I think emulation should be 100% legal.

It's 100% legal anyway. What isn't legal is distributing rom files of the game or BIOS files from the system.

Sorry yeah I mean all aspects of emulation, including ripping and distributing the games and system bios etc.
