If you look at the replies a lot of people are thinking copyright trolls are responsible and it's not actually Nintendo

I feel like they are trying to push Japanese laws regarding piracy and console modding on the rest of the world.

Would you not buy it at all or buy it used then mod it afterwards to run your "homebrew" applications?

30 years after the rest of the world, so estimates are probably 30 years after the heat death of the universe.

I mean the piracy community is a hydra, if you cut off one head there's another waiting, but they do make it annoying. Look at how many websites are hesitant about posting Switch content. It might be a "dragging heels in the sand situation" but it does provide a bit of resistance towards piracy.

All that said I don't think Nintendo realizes how many people are in the piracy headspace of "they wouldn't have purchased it even if piracy wasn't an option". I imagine a lot of people who pirate Switch games don't even own a Switch. They just want to play one or two games don't view the cost of the console and game as worth it.

If the purge was real they'd have a private security firm there to turn you into a reddish paste.

The entire point (aside from being violence bait) of the movies is that the violence is a tool of the ruling class to keep the masses at each others throats.

Be the purge you wish to see in the world.

Speaking of which does anyone have a quality article about that recent time where Nintendo's lawyers showed up at someone's door and confiscated something? I believe that's what happened but I could be incorrect.

Searching online I am just finding other examples of Nintendo shenanigans.

Eidt: I was thinking of this story regarding Magic the Gathering Cards and Wizards of the Coast not Nintendo

I don't think so. Tetris is still up for example and some SNES games have been taken down. It seems quite sporadic.

Dozens of places. You can search ROMs megathread online and a list of some will come up
