Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?

I've found an update file but the base game doesn't seem to be anywhere I have access to.

26

On which website, so I can avoid it?

There is a torrent floating around but availability is 20.9% at the moment.

PM me a link?

Taodung com has the update but not the base.

My friend wants me to ask what site you're avoiding

Now all the emulator devs just need to please not brag about being able to emulate it.

i hate people so much :(

oh no! big corpo nintemdo is gonna be so sad!

lemme play a song on the world's smallest violin.

I'm gonna assume you're just a really sad person who hates everyone, and this comment is off-topic, because there's no way you're in the Piracy community complaining about a Nintendo leak.

And if you are wondering why Sony is killing physical games...

We'll keep wondering cause the shift to digital clearly isn't stopping piracy.

Like almost everything, it isn't about stopping piracy entirely.

Physical copies get sold early by stores/cashiers that don't care. Or they get outright pocketed/copied at the factories and warehouses. Which lead to the constant "This nintendo game leaked a week or a month or whatever early". Which... less so after the lawsuits but it means emulators can be updated to support the games before they even hit shelves.

Digital only doesn't entirely stop that. But it tends to lead more toward "an unknown fake influencer posted all the cutscenes of this game online a week early".

These fuckers should just release digital first, and physical comes when it's done being printed and distributed. This anxiety over "oh no a finished game got leaked early" is manufactured drama. If the game is done, then it doesn't matter when it gets released, except for artificial marketing angst. Make a good game that players want, and it'll be purchased. Eventually. It doesn't have to all happen at exactly the predicted moment.

Yeah i agree. Ffxvi just came out on pc and square is whining about not hitting sales goals. Like visions of mana just came out and im still playing that. Give me a couple months to buy the game, dorks

Is saving the game from an early leak worth getting rid of physical games? I hope not.

I might be unique in this but I'll never "buy" a digital game. They're impossible to resell and I can't lend it to friends or my kids, they'd need my account or console. Plus I'll have the physical game forever, digital games are only good as long as the servers are up.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this, so if companies stop offering physical games then I'm not going to buy them. (I'll just pirate). I've preordered Zelda from GameStop. I support the content I want more of, like Zelda games, and I'll continue to buy each one. If I don't, then they might not make more.

Because you can't easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?
