It's tough if not impossible to find now, so I don't blame anyone for not knowing or believing this to be the case whole google results are dominated by more recent events involving more recent emulation cases. But they have literally in the past made the false claim that emulation itself was an illegal practice. Then later they pretend they never said that and most people never see it. I've seen emails from the big N's legal team making the claim, but it was over 20 years ago. I just have a long memory...

people like myself never see it

Totally wrong my guy. I do see what you mean, but im claiming to be an exception to the case you have laid out.

Their actions are more important than their words which is why i made my point. Im well aware of nintendos history with going after emulation. They almost rival the mouse

For the record im not defending Nintendo here, i just apprciate honesty and accuracy. Otherwise its just slander and misinformation which we have way too much of.

most people ~~like yourself~~ never see it

Better?

Anyway their "philosophy" seemingly changes whenever convenient. No slander or misinformation there just sucky reality. You replied to someone mocking actual junk they at least pretended to believe at one point so I wanted to point out they actually have said things like this, coz I legit thought you didn't know. At that time your other reply calling out their hypocrisy didn't exist yet.
