"The fan emulation scene has not only lead to countless innovations over the years, it's directly benefited Nintendo."
In other words, asinine Nintendo is asinine. Look, yes, it's their IP and they can be as anal-retentive about that as they want, but they really need to get entirely off of their holier-than-thou moral high horse on this. Emulation is not the eldritch evil that Nintendo is trying to make it out to be. Never has been, never will be. Nintendo sure didn't hate emulation when they were selling all those old NES/SNES/Sega/arcade/etc. games on the Wii, after all.
And regarding the mention of the fan translation of Mother 3 in the article... well, emulation does what Nintendon't.
(For once, the comments under the article are generally supportive. There are a few Nintendo fanboys/rep management drones/"That One Guy"s down there, but those fuckheads are thankfully in the minority, at least in this particular case.)
