Nintendo has hundred of games that people are willing to pay massively inflated prices to play, but Nintendo would rather sue emulation projects.

Your comment is 100% true, but has nothing to do with what I was asking about, lol

Nintendo shouldn't be allowed to litigate against people they accuse of cutting into sales of not-for-sale games. They know there is a demand for their old catalog but do not release it for sale, forcing a market for piracy.

Ok, but why should not offering old games for sale be a crime? Lol

It's the combination of suing for sales that do not exist because they choose not to make those sales. I can't type it any slower, man.

I don't like that Nintendo can sue people for something I don't think should be illegal. So what THEY do should be illegal instead!

Is that what you're getting at? Lol
