[QUOTE="Song of storms, post: 8384768, member: 457423"] I was so sick and tired of the whole retarded "you can't download games anywhere else" that I actually took the effort of looking up the most downloaded rom files on famous pirate websites. Title on the left, number of downloads on the right. Super Mario World - ~6,900,000+ virtual console: available. Rarity: common Pokemon Yellow Version - ~3,000,000 virtual console: available. Rarity: common Mario Kart 64 - ~2,700,000 virtual console: available. Rarity: common Donkey Kong Country - 2,500,000+ virtual console: available. Rarity: common Pokemon Gold Version ~2,500,000 virtual console: available. Rarity: common There are a ton other ROMs that have been downloaded millions of times that are all either available on virtual console or you can buy cheap from the original console, or they even received a well-acclaimed remake, available to purchase. The only game I've seen breaking the million downloads that isn't available on virtual console is Dragonball Z: Buu's fury, a third party game where Nintendo has no rights to add on a virtual console on their own. (I can't provide the name of the rom website, sorry. It's my mania to follow the rules) Can we drop the retarded argument that these websites are "needed" to "preserve" games when all they're doing are letting millions of people download games they didn't buy? Of course a company like Nintendo has to step in. Do you want to "preserve" games? Make an illegal website that hosts torrents that lead to games that are no longer available anywhere. But no one does that. Why? Because these websites don't give a shit about your "preservation" morale and just want an easy profit. [/QUOTE]
