Oh boo hoo hoo, people are emulating melee in a tournament to be able to battle online, who the fuck cares? It's not as if Nintendo is even selling it. It's literally unavailable, it's not sold in any store or digital platform worldwide, so what the fuck? If they ain't providing what the community want, then they can go fuck themselves and the community is gonna provide it for themselves
The simps against emulations are really getting on my nerves. If it wasn't for emulation and piracy you couldn't play 99.99% of games made in the past, they simply ain't being rereleased. There would be no speedrunning community, no twitch, no fucking anything

Fucking this. People don't realize how much of the gaming community was built at least partially on emulation. Piracy and emulation is probably what got cult classics like Earthbound out from under the radar. Most people I know first played it through emulation. Nintendo probably wouldn't have bothered re-releasing it on the VC otherwise.
And if Nintendo is going to go after those who use emulators, they might as well stop certain developers from putting their games on there systems because it isn't uncommon for developers to have ROMs of old games for research and reference. Not to mention developers like Toby Fox who were previously ROM hackers. Why does Nintendo think they can go after an even because they're using emulators for better picture quality but will allow developers who were previously ROM hackers or use their ROMs for design reference?
