Nintendo has been actively taking down YouTube videos that feature its games being emulated or modded, which has sparked significant discussion and concern within the gaming community. This action primarily targets content creators who showcase modified versions of Nintendo games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and others, often using emulators like CEMU or Yuzu.Reasons Behind Nintendo's ActionsIntellectual Property Protection: Nintendo's aggressive stance is largely driven by the need to protect its intellectual property rights. Under Japanese copyright law, failure to enforce these rights could potentially weaken their legal standing, leading to a loss of ownership
It sucks cause I really like the Mario Kart and Metroid Prime series and was hoping for more 3D metroid games, but there’s just so many other good games out there. Especially with Steam and the Steam Deck. I’ve had every nintendo console and handheld from the NES through the switch, but that’ll be my last console now that the steam deck exists and nintendo has become so hostile.
However I do wish there were more devices like the wii sensor and wiimote/nunchuk. I’d rather PC gaming go in that direction than with VR gaming cause I really hate having to move my neck around with VR.
The Wiiimote and Nunchuk combo needs a little tweaking (maybe make the wiimote more like a nunchuk for ergonomics, give it an analog stick for coarse camera movement) but it was the most comfortable controller ever since I could place my hands in different positions relative to one another.
To your credit, Nintendo’s golden age is well behind them. Most of the best games they’re likely to ever make are already runnable on PC, especially since they’ve been kinda phoning it in for the last decade or so.
