I wish the keeper of many fond childhood memories wasn't a company I fervently wish would die in a fire.

I wish the keeper of many fond childhood memories wasn't a company I fervently wish would die in a fire.It's sad but they've been like this since the get-go. They sued Galoob for the Game Genie (and lost), and they sued Blockbuster for copying manuals so that people could have the manual to review when they rented games (and won). Nintendo has always been excruciatingly aggressive about protecting and policing their copyrights and IP, even when they're dead wrong. This is not an attempt to justify what they're doing, just to point out that it's unfortunately nothing new.

trying to justify thier games as AAA pricing. subtier console with subtier gaming. especially around pokemon games. gen 1-6 were good, but everything after that was just a disaster.It's finally gotten way out-of-hand, even for me. Gen XI will be the first main series Pokémon games in 30 years I won't be pre-ordering, let alone even buying. First-party Switch games were already way too expensive, rarely ever going on sale, and now we may be moving to an $80 standard. And it seems the main selling point of the Switch 2 in the latest Direct was a bunch of ports. At that price point, there's no reason not to just get a Steam Deck and sail the high seas for first-party titles. At least Valve won't brick my device if I hurt their feelings.

This post did not contain any content.This is why more games should openly embrace modding. A "we're legally not allowed to do this gameplay mechanic" writeup and let the community unofficially provide it.

Make game open source What do now Nintendo?

The same thing they've done with lots of emulators, tell whoever is hosting the source to cease and desist or face a lawsuit.Once it's out in the wild there's not much they can do

The NES CIC lockout chip avoided the 2600's shovelware problem... and created an abusive monopoly, that generation. Nintendo secretly had color screens developed for the upcoming Game Boy, switched to black & white, and left the screen manufacturer hung out to dry. Which is why the Game Gear and Lynx *coincidentally* have the same resolution. Nintendo was politely informed by SNK that they'd be making their own handheld. A year later the Game Boy Color dropped as a secret fuck-you to the Neo Geo Pocket. Nintendo informed Sony they had cancelled their SNES-CD add-on by announcing an SNES-CD add-on made by Philips. At the Consumer Electronics Show. *After* Sony's big presentation about their SNES-CD add-on.

Yeah, post gen-6 is where i stopped. It felt like the games were really dumbed down, and they leaned way too hard into 3d graphics.As someone who was 20 when Pocket Monsters came out in Japan and only played Red/Blue, which generation is 6?

Nintendo has been called "Big N" for a very long time, so I wouldn't attribute that to this.
