It sucks, but Nintendo had every right to do this.  Just think of the ad revenue these sites get using IPs that they do not own. The fact that they agreed to pay 12 mil speaks volumes for how much they must have made over the years.  I certainly hope however that Nintendo does some kind of real VC on Switch soon to give people legal ways to play these games outside of ebay.  It really is money just sitting on the table at this point.

 

I expect other devs and publishers to follow before long as well.

 

Thoughts?
