Counterpoint: Debating the semantics of software piracy is supremely gay and the amount of people who are directly ripping game files in order to emulate on another platform (or on the same platform, but through a different form of media, i.e., multi-game loading SD cards and such) is most likely minimal compared to everyone else who is just essentially pirating software.
From what's been leaked,it's more or less the devs playing it safe, for the most part. Just don't expect much of anything new when it comes to the Bros. Attacks

It does feel like they're trying to figure things out as opposed to going crazy right out of the gate. When I say it's "OK", I mean that everything it's currently doing is competent. So far, it's merely above Paper Jam just for having some level of complexity to the plot.
I seen some footage and its not exactly looking like a very good game, especially since it has aspects that are clear that the main majority were not understanding of the series' quirks, like Luigi primarily using the A button rather than the B button. The game looks meh, too.
Today on "Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes", we have a guy who streamed himself playing a leaked copy of Mario & Luigi: Brothership on an emulator and told Nintendo's Legal Team"I can do this all day" is currently being sued.
Beat the first boss in Brothership and...yeah, the pacing issues are starting to make sense. I've been enjoying it, but if the whole game is like this I might change my tune.
Speaking of pacing, I've been playing Balatro on Switch recently and... yeah... this game is probably 75 percent waiting for animations to play and 25 percent actually picking and doing stuff. Is there a way to turn that stuff off?
"It's okay" is the "it's dogshit" of any game made by a triple A non-woke studio
I was vaguely interested in brothership but seeing all the buzz about it be nintendo hyper fans jerking off to the boxart along with them making corporate-y feeling decisions like making Luigi AI controlled makes me think it's boring as shit. I'm sure the visual effects feel good when you hit an enemy and it makes a little ding when you collect a coin but that doesn't mean it's good, or even okay. A bottle of polish with no shoe to go on
No you misunderstand. It's "okay" using Nintendo baseline. That means that it's a bug-free experience with tight controls and mechanics, and an enjoyable game that would be the best thing ever to kids or people who haven't played enough Mario & Luigi games for it to feel overused. The concept is interesting but nothing particularly new that would hook a gamer that has played them all and wants more. The battle quicktime timing seems to be a bit more forgiving then older games.
That's a different baseline then AAA slop from other developers, where "Okay" means "a tolerable amount of bugs and wokeshit with characters design decent enough that I'm not itching to put a bag over their face"

Never forget that streaming gameplay is and up until this point always has been a legal grey area. This would be a pretty awful case to see go to trial too, I hope that faggot folds without seeing the inside of a courtroom.

To treat fictional characters like they are real is stupid. You can argue that it is degenerate and bad even, but to treated as serious as real children being harmed is super retarded.
I'll help you out: you are literally having an argument with Null, the guy who, if my memory serves, has revealed that there was a near-if-not-actually 100% correlation with 8kun (I think that's the right site?) posters posting lolicon then posting CSAM with real kids. He has every reason to be suspicious.

Oh boy! More platformy actiony goodness from Nintendo!! I love to play Nintendo games on my Nintendo Switch! Gods, do you remember when they played Jump Up Superstar at the end of Super Mario Odyssey? It still makes me tear up just thinking about it!!
This is not a great argument to make, it's extremely common among the Twitter lolicon-profile set.
In fact it's so damn common a Japanese developer used it a few months ago in response to being questioned why his team stuck upskirts of a robot based on a 10-year-old girl virtually everywhere in Marvel vs. Capcom. The optics of using it are terrible, in other words.

That does not mean it is not a valid argument. I gave a lot of reasons why going after loli is far more counter-intuitive than it would otherwise seem so do not use the "Hitler ate sugar" fallacy.
Fictional people should not be real victims. Say you make a machinima of a grade school girl being beaten only to be saved by your OC. In the eyes of such a law, what you did is show a minor having a crime committed against them and you will be arrested. Hell, in the Punisher, his wife and kids are killed as his backstory. That backstory would be illegal. You could try to make the law be about sexual crimes but that still would not work. Romeo and Juliet had a 5-year age difference between them. Would that make it grooming under such a law? Would we ban Shakespeare now? A lot of stories that shaped our world contain elements that are not PC. Not to mention that a law like that is hard to future-proof. What if a judge decides that handholding is a form of sexual contact? Can you imagine the fallout? And there is the other thing: All an artist has to do in order to get away would be to proclaim his characters as adult porn actors that play kids as a form of Dawson Casting. How do we work around that? It is the word of the author, afterall.
Such a law would be a nightmare to both prosecute and enforce, not to mention all the money it would cost and how ineffective it would be. And I do not think anyone has faith in the goverments to make the law fair and enforce it evenly. I do not think one can trust them nor should. Not to mention that overturning the law might have other dire consequences: Remember Mr. Hands?
Long story short: Washington State repealed the law banning oral and anal sex forgetting that the ban on bestiality was attached to it and accidently made that legal too. If there is a loli ban and that is later repealed because it causes more problems than it is worth, who knows what will happen next?
We can mock the lolicon crowd but actually going after them legally does not work unless actual CP is involved. In my opinion, the line can be drawn at making loli content with an actual person as the model like what Shadman did with Daphne Keen. I think that could work.
