Nintendo makes GREAT games, and bad decisions. With one of the most aggressive stances on piracy and homebrew, we’ve seen them come after gamers time and time again. It’s time to equip you with the tools to fight back with these console mods that will free you from their archaic limitations, and allow you to unlock the true potential of the machines you paid good money for. HDMI upgrades, Type C power, Migswitch, JAILBREAKING - and MORE!

If they sold ROM's of all of their back catalogue of games and had good emulators available for free on the Switch, hardly anyone would pirate. Just imagine going to their online store and picking up a copy of SMB[1-3] for a buck apiece and just playing them without any modding or copying needed.

"piracy is an accessibility issue" looking at the general places where piracy is king (3rd world countries or countries with severe restrictions) the main issue is that people can't get their hands on official hardware/software, or it's just too expensive. in South America, where 1 USD is worth anywhere between 3-10 times the local currency, it doesn't make sense to buy 70 USD games, it's just way too overpriced for the local market.

Fun fact: If Nintendo just sold PC versions of their games from their own Eshop, they would lose out on marginal sales of hardware, ultimately reducing revenue. It's really cringe when the internet tries to act like Nintendo has never run P&L projections for selling their games on other platforms. If they could get rid of the cost of researching, manufacturing, warehousing, and distributing their own hardware and make as much if not more by just selling software, they would have already made that decision. People who want to play Nintendo games on non-Nintendo platforms better hope the Nintendo Cinematic Universe is a smash success. The waves of basically cost-less revenue coming in from movie sales and royalties would change the P&L calculations for distributing Nintendo software on other platforms.

Nintendo's insistence on attacking emulation is exactly why their stuff continues to be pirated. They're not trying to protect their catalogue of gaming titles, so the community is doing it for them even if they have to break the law to do it. Nintendo really should learn from the Community's desire for the ability to play old games and start making it a centerpiece of their business model. Backwards compatibility and in-console emulation would go a LONG WAY towards helping Nintendo become the king of console gaming again. Right now, they're bottom of the barrel against Sony and Microsoft.

Jailbreak a Vita and you have the PS1, PSP & Vita libraries at your fingertips via homebrew. Jailbreak a 3DS (N3DS/N2DS is the best option for the stronger processors) and you get pretty much the whole GB, GBC, GBA, DS, DSi & 3DS libraries at your fingertips via homebrew. In both cases the companies that produced the hardware and sold the games no longer sell the hardware new, nor make new copies of those games for said hardware (small caveat in that PS3 & Vita can still buy games off the PSN... once you've jumped through hoops to add funds via PC, PS4 or PS5, but no new game carts/discs are being produced either way), so they pretty much have no ethical, moral or legal leg to stand on claiming "lost sales" on platforms they've deemed End Of Life and prevented people from legally purchasing digital copies of games from their online platform (particularly in 3DS case, as noted by the caveat earlier).

The last point was the most critical. We want to pay for games, we just don't want to be taken to the cleaners for doing so. If you provide an affordable and convenient shopping experience, then piracy will stop. But if you over charge gamers, put in restrictive EULA and make single player games an online only subscription service then we will turn to Piracy. Just as with most things, the best solution is a compromise between games companies and gamers.

Also Majora’s Mask will hopefully one day get an Android port. The discourse I’ve seen on Zelda64Recomp’s GitHub sounds promising.

@@Matthias129I think part of the demand is the insane amounts of money involved with things like skins and such for games on admittedly not Nintendo devices. At least as far as cheating online goes.

Here's another problem which I've experienced first hand, I bought a second copy of mariokart online for my sons Switch and after playing his console was banned, after reaching out to nintendo support they told us the reason, and despite providing them with the ebay receipt of sale ect it fell on deaf ears. I reached out to the ebay seller, and they accepted the return who wanted to send out another copy of the game, but asked for a refund instead. So it's buyer beware when buying secondhand games online now I guess.

What's odd to me is how companies like Nintendo don't just do some in-house work to enable backwards compatibly themselves and then make more money selling more games. They could easily produce a "retro Wii" device which is basically the Wii U they already designed with firmware and software modifications to make it a GameCube, Wii and Wii U box then sell all those titles on their store.

@@Jehty_ For NFS/EA, they usually delist games due to cameo, music, or some other license expiring and the games sales not being enough profit to renew.

as owner of one: One additiona thing your "unlocked Wii U" Definitely needs is an external HDD, but Wii U is also notorious for not supplying as much power as "unofficial standard" has been. Wii U actually follows the standard to the T and the dot but nobody else actually does not even nintendo in past with Wii and future with Switch. So your HDD is recommended to have it's own power supply, so, get one of those huge 3.5 inch external buffalos that have not been sold for years now. I know I did about 8 years before Wii U's release and I was golden. Extrenal HDD these days is almost required given either 8 gig (about 6 or less usable) or 32 gig (about 28 or less usable) models of Wii U. You also will be much happier getting 32 or 64 gigabyte SD card even if you are not using it as much as your HDD but backing up and installing back ups needs up to 25 gigs of space, if you install retroarch SD card is best storage for it to access, and there might be few gamecube games that are not as friendly running in Digital Downloadable Wii game package installed and run from Wii U's system or USB storage that is used for Wii games officially and also now unofficially.

An open source clone was also the motivation for gaining my first soldering experience. The Gamecube homebrew scene was something special, with some profit hungry vampyrs copying other peoples work, but mostly a lot of great people openly exploring and sharing the possibilities!
