    More like: Nintendo, “here is an HD remake of that old game you wanted.”

    Fans, “We don’t want to pay for old games!”

      Leaving this here:

      Nintendo has also committed piracy of their own software, by downloading a rom that a piracy group extracted and uploaded to the internet, so that Nintendo could then can re-sell the game back to us.

      If Nintendo will sell me the old games I love, I’ll happily rebuy them so long as there’s no installed killswitch (sorry, “DRM”) that will take it away from me one day.
