I can get these old games for free so why should I pay? |

Er, you've apparently never played Majora's Mask on the GameCube.

Get a better emulator then. Back when I used to use them I didn't encounter troubles. Sorry but free for all is beating 9 dollars for one game. |

said by Sofa King8 :I can get these old games for free so why should I pay? Perhaps because you getting the games for free is illegal... The emulators are not illegal- the roms are. I'm not judging you, just stating that being able to play legally, on the TV, with a nintendo controller maybe is a better gaming experience. |

I could go on and on about poorly coded emulators that display strange sounds, artifacts, and colors. Yes, even your beloved ZNES and others have these problems (it varys from game to game)
Rest assured since Nintendo WROTE the hardware, provided the framework, and licensed the content, they will have no problems with any of their games when played through the Wii emulator. |

You shouldn't, but some gamers who aren't as tech savvy as you or me will probably fork over the 4 bucks to play a "classic" game.
Remember people, we're the ones (for the most part) the technophobes and not so computer literates come to. A lot of them don't have a clue how to run emulators, etc. |

Illegal, probably, but legality is not related to morality. Most people who want to play the old games want to play the old games because they played the old games.
Most people who played the old games played the old games because they owned the old games because they paid for the old games. |

your right, why should Nintendo make any money off their games. For that matter why should movie companies make money, or artist make money for their work.
oh yea...and the next time when you take my order at Burger king I won't be paying either.
Sorry to get nasty, but as somebody who is 40k in the whole for a education to write programs, piracy kinda makes me mad.
They are providing a way to play classic games on a modern platform. Take the chance, and get legal. |

That's funny.
I still have about 50-some original NES carts in a box. I bought them all for "full" price, back in the day. Legally.
Tell me I don't have a right to play them on an emulator now, and that it's illegal. I bought them *once*, they happily took my money then, amd I ain't buying them again just because the original console was poorly-made and had a relatively-short lifespan. |

I don't see how the console was poorly made it is 21 years old and I got mine on the first christmas it was out and guess what it still works flawlessly to this date and is still hooked up and played. I think alot of the problems it had was bad tempered little kids that got hold of it and everytime teh game did not fall over to them to be beaten in a heartbeat it was thrown kicked yelled at hit and what ever thier little tempers could muster up. Hot at all saying this is why yours broke but I had a friend that would trash a console in aa matter of weeks to funny |

YOU do, aren't people that own the actual games allowed to have the roms? Isn't it legal for "backup purposes only"? So yeah..but for everyone else who doesn't (including me)... it's illegal
