Nintendo

What are some Nintendo VC games that are actually illegally downloaded roms resold to us? What are people’s thoughts about this Nintendo practice?



Is there a definitive list somewhere online of Virtual Console titles that Nintendo ripped from online rom websites?

I know official Nintendo products such as original Mario Bros, the new Medabots port, and maybe Sunshine in 3D All-Stars are roms from the internet, but I feel like I’ve seen articles about more than these examples.

Anyone got any more off examples the top of their heads? What do people think of this business practice? What does this mean for Nintendo? What does this mean for game preservation?
