Fuck Nintendo. Going after emulators then trying to resell 20 year old games.
- I wish Nintendo still sold old games. This is selling old games as a service.
- When have Nintendo actually gone after emulators? ROM distributors, sure, but all the emulators are still widely available.
  
  Valve's legal department contacted Nintendo to inquire about the announced release of Dolphin Emulator on Steam. In reply to this, a lawyer representing Nintendo of America requested Valve prevent Dolphin from releasing on the Steam store, citing the DMCA as justification. Valve then forwarded us the statement from Nintendo's lawyers, and told us that we had to come to an agreement with Nintendo in order to release on Steam. Considering the strong legal wording at the start of the document and the citation of DMCA law, we took the letter very seriously.

That’s neat and all, but I’ve been playing these games on an emulator for too long to bother with Nintendo’s subscription emulator. It would have been nice to have this in 2015.
- These services are for people who don't even know what emulators are (or just can't be bothered)
- Also I couldnt figure out how to change the controls on any of them. So your stuck with whatever some chode decided the control system should be.
