Police in Japan have arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of selling illegally modified Pokémon save data to customers online — a practice which is banned under the country’s 2019 Unfair Competition Prevention Act.
They honestly used to be really solid. I’ve been there since the NES. During the GameCube days my house burned down. I had happened to order a cable and then it, of course, got sent back to them. I had completely forgotten about this and they called me to ask if the note was correct that the package was undeliverable because the house being gone.
They sent me a new GameCube and five games of my choosing.
nintendo only does reletively good when their consoles struggle.
whenever they hit something sucessful, they become shrewed and start removing features/make a worse experience at times.
3ds strugles, nintendo gives 20 retro games for free. wiiu struggles, many bogo offers. Switch is sucessful, removes paid for emulated games and pushes them into a subscription service, removes local save backups, removes browser, charges 20$ for online, objectively have a worse online experience to both the WiiU/3DS in many instances. Half asses some games, increases the price of ported games (e.g Tropical Freeze on the WiiU was 50$, then a 20$ nintendo select late in its life, was a 60$ game on the switch)
I haven’t liked Nintendo since they decided to just take 30% of all the money Gary Bowser ever makes for the rest of his life, for the crime of modifying hardware that people own so that they can use it however they see fit.
Nintendo please stop. I really liked you
The first mistake was liking a company.

I feel the same. Over the recent years it’s becoming abundantly clear that Nintendo hates their fans. It’s actually really sad and disappointing.
For example:

And forcing him to be in all of their Mario games (I choose to believe the character is named Gary Bowser too)
