Eurogamer: Did Nintendo download a Mario ROM and sell it back to us?

Why is it "really disappointing"?

Nintendo owns the IP and created the game. Its a little lazy that whoever was tasked with creating the VC version didn't have a copy to dump the ROM from on-hand, but I'm not really sure how this affects people.

Technically this makes Nintendo a pirate. And I think I will buy Zelda botw and rip it in my PC to play (just like Nintendo I am not doing anything illegal).

i dont think that makes them a pirate since they own it.

ive never heard of a pirate stealing something that was already theirs.
