​

The troubles keep coming for Super Seducer creator Richard La Ruina. After having the latest title, Super Seducer 3, banned for sale on Steam, the proposed Nintendo Switch ports were also rejected on April 1. In order to recoup some of the porting costs, La Ruina has decided to sell the Nintendo Switch version of the first game as a ROM through an auction on rarible.com. Advertised as "possibly the rarest video game ever," the auction states that the game will never be officially released on Switch and no digital or physical copies exist, aside from the developer's. Presumably, you will need a Switch with custom firmware to run the ROM, though no specific details have been given at this point.

An NFT is a non-fungible token. It uses blockchain technology similar to cryptocurrencies, but each token is unique, granting the buyer digital goods. The owner of an NFT does not gain the copyright of the item, only the right to resell the token on the blockchain. If one of these NFTs are purchased, it would be up to the owners whether they wanted to release it publicly or keep it for themselves.

As a ROM? Damn, that's bold.

Can...can he do that?

if only i played Super Seducer and learned how to comment to you both (@Seriel and @Chary in the top 3 sexist girls on temp) with a sexy answer.

I don't know if the potential buyers or the creator is more stupid.

can't wait for someone to flex hard on game collectors with their one and only super-seducer-3.nsp

 

[LightBeam]

So I guess we could possibly get a backup ? That's quite funny, I wonder if it will get him into troubles

 

[ZoNtendo]

pretty sure this is not legal if they used the official devkit to make the game

 

[Vila_]

Very cool

 

[HideoKojima]

After it's sold...

Rom leaked!

 

[masagrator]

This won't run on anything else than devkit anyway because it will be encrypted with devkit keys.

 

[duwen]

i give 'im tree fiddy

 

[Deleted User]

I see a lawsuit in the future. There's no fucking way that that's legal.

 

[Rabbid4240]

imagine harming the environment with a switch rom that just porn

 

[Reynardine]

This would be interesting if it weren't such a mundane and tasteless game. Is auctioning a rom file even legal?

 

[diggeloid]

This has got to be a breach of contract. You can't get a Switch dev kit unless you sign a bunch of contracts and NDAs, and while I've never seen one, I can't imagine distributing a ROM like this is something Nintendo would let you do.

So a questionably legal ROM of a crappy dating sim whose only value is in the manufactured controversy surrounding it. Wow. He's gonna get rich.
This is a bullshit publicity stunt and nothing else.

That's the first time ever an "official company" releases a game as a rom directly (and only) for CFW users, right? Interesting.

As crude as it is this brings an interesting entry point for digital sales being hosted by blockchains. If the said blockchain would outlast, let's say, Sony's or Nintendo's "arbitrary" right to close shop on future downloads... it could potentially"future-proof" digital sales--with the rom being free to be hosted and the license being associated with a digital wallet.

You could even transfer ownership or lend digital goods.

Please, create the port, not that...
