The Pikmin 4 ROM has seen it leak online and this comes less than a week before the game launches on Nintendo Switch.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Last week Nintendo held this year's surprisingly packed not-E3 Direct; with a full schedule for this year and a vague promise of a console successor next year, it's very possible that we've now seen our final Nintendo Switch Direct, or at least one with major first party reveals. That makes this a good time to sit back and reflect on a generation of Direct moments, from the shocking and surprising, to the joyous and exhilarating - and, quite often, all at once."
VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "As demonstrated by our finalists, strategy gamers had a lot of variety in where they would spend their time executing meticulous moves and mulling over decisions. Although the following games offer different strategic experiences and force gamers to consider different elements, their core aspects remain similar. And no matter what you decided to play, you were guaranteed a mental workout."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Ah, 2023. You were a chaotic year in terms of wars, climate change, politics, and other bad news, but when it came to gaming, yet again, despite all odds, you were still able to deliver. Even though games got delayed, Nintendo Switch ports got sent out in the wild running at 10 frames a second, companies got shut down, and publishers tried to come up with new ways to make us fear for the future of the industry, a barrage of great games kept being released at a delightful pace all throughout 2023."
Oof. guess people have been emulating this already. And likely at better quality & frame rate than the actual console.. Pretty embarrassing for Nintendo.
Execs at Nintendo must be fuming probably planning on suing someone for this.
Yea, in this particular case I'd say this isn't cool. I can only support Roms of games that are no longer on the market.
Btw, I just started using EmuVR to build my virtual 80's/90's room.. absolutely amazing!
It doesn't matter how powerful Nintendo makes their console, crappy people will still find a way to not have to pay for their games for the sake of "sticking it" to Nintendo or because of alleged "backups" that they are ripping from their own games.
