What a bunch of bullshit. If you want to play "Bubsy" on the SNES. That game will NEVER be re-released on the virtual console. What am I supposed to do? Buy a used copy on ebay instead of downloading the rom? The developers don't earn a dollar like that anyway.

If you can't see the difference between someone losing a car, and a virtual copy of a game being created out of thin air, I don't know what to tell you.

We're basically talking about ROMs, ie: Abandonware. Nobody is really making money off of these and as much as Nintendo looooves going after ROM distributors, 90% of 8 and 16-bit-era games have basically been lost to society through legal means. Primarily because their publishers no longer care/earn enough from them…

Just because someone uses an emulator doesn't mean they're "stealing games". I don't want to set up my NES or go find my Game Gear for an hour everytime I want to play a game from that system, when I can simply load up an app on my phone or computer and play it in a matter of minutes.

I have my original copies of Blue and Gold on my desk right now. I also have both on my Galaxy S3. I already own the games: my parents paid full price back in the day for them.
I also have a working GBA. The convenience of my phone trumps bringing more hardware to, say, work or school.
Now if Nintendo made actual…

I am still downloading roms.

You should have a look at my SNES shelf, all of which I bought new, and then have a look at my emulator library.

Technically emulating games are the only way some can be played. Also, if I own a copy of DKC2 from 1995, but I don't have a snes to play it on, I see no harm in emulating it. They made their money off it long ago, and they won't receieve any money if I buy a snes at a yard sale. Essentially they're just making you…

Thank god they didn't.

Thank you, Pope of Humour, you may go back to your ablutions now.

When will we get Bad Company 3, with Battlefield 3's prone!

Better yet, they removed their metacritic score from their page in Steam.

It is shady as shit that they just renamed it to dodge the well-deserved criticisms of their workings earlier on. Shadier yet that Steam was like, "Well, sure."

Remember that Infestation is War Z renamed and should be avoided at all costs. (http://kotaku.com/5969784/the-wa…)

You can't fool me, replicant!

Fail, only 2 out of 3 pyramids fell.

Sounds like someone played The Last Airbender a few thousand times.

Luckily, nobody cares about orphans.

If only he'd just killed an unarmed black youth in "self defense" in a dark alley he would have gotten off free. This kind of speech must be punished!

I'd give a damn but I'm too busy plotting to burn down a homeless shelter and orphanage. lol jk.
