I don't support piracy. I just realized now that what I said is piracy. I have done it many times but its to play the games at a higher resolution and framerate and I would buy older console games on modern hardware if they ran better with better image quality at a low price but both Sony and Nintendo charge too much for them.

I'm talking about the games that haven't been remastered.

That's still piracy.  If the game is actively for sale by the rights holder and you acquire it without compensation, you've stolen it.

I wouldn't promote piracy. However the fact that you can play these games on your phone for free means that even if Nintendo ported the original Mario games they wouldn't sell well. But if Nintendo makes them for $3 on phones it can sell well.

While I would not promote anyone else to do it, I don't consider such old games to be worth paying any money. That is for Nintendo and Sony both. I have bought Halo 1 and 2 recently on PC though because Microsoft made them available for the hardware and they are priced well :)

Btw I do have a PS4 but don't see the value in buying PS2 games for $15.
