nintendo literally prefers that hundreds of games, representing untold hours of labor and artistic effort, be burned and lost forever than be pirated. they want every 3ds to go in a landfill and be replaced by a new switch. they do this because its easy and they know the bad press will be a tiny blip. nintendo, the corporate organism, does this instinctively. optimize for profit, snuff out anything that means losing a tiny bit of control of a revenue source. nintendo, the business, fundamentally does not view even its own most beloved games as meaningful beyond making a profit. they could be selling gravel for all they care. games, art, culture means nothing to them. if they could round up every single cartridge of the legend of zelda, every single famicom, and put them through a shredder, they would. pay them for your switch online subscription if you want your precious zelda so bad.

this is true of all corporations that sell media, of all art in capitalism. art cannot survive in cooperation with capitalism. under capitalism, art doesnt exist at all.

Hack your past gen consoles, emulate what you can.

Do not listen to the collectors and resellers who will scream at the top of their lungs that piracy bad and how emulators and even official emulation like the Genesis/Mega Drive compilation pack "Ruins the soul of the original hardware".

They're practically the same as the corporation at this point, they want to sell you an NES for 100 dollars and a copy of Mario 3 for 150.

Emulation and Console Hacking are essential for media preservation.
