how did lemmy piracy suddenly turn to defending nintendo...

nintendo pulls rom sites down, sure - it's their shit (https://www.pcworld.com/article/402404/nintendo-suit-rom-emulation-game-preservation.html)

Nintendo is using roms from these sites to sell to consumers within their own "ecosystem" (https://www.eurogamer.net/did-nintendo-download-a-mario-rom-and-sell-it-back-to-us)

Not even close to all of nintendos titles are avaliable on their online stores, and the mini-snes or whatever did not have even close to all their titles.

point is. Nintendo is NOT preserving their own games. And they sue anyone doing anything like preserving it for the public.
