How come normies love to emulate Nintendo games on their phones but don't actually buy new Nintendo games or consoles?
Nintendo stopped being good a long time ago.

It's one of those "look at me I've got Pokemon on my phone I'm such a nerd LOL xD" type of things
>>329537968
or it could be that they just wanna play pokemon on their phone and dont have a 3DS?
Here's a better question: why is Saya the best girl?
>>329538018
Nope
Because emulating old Nintendo games is free.
>>329537730
New nintendo games are shit
New nintendo consoles are shit
>>329537730
Most people under 18 are poor or in poor families.
I used to emulate game boy color games on a Pentium 4 for hours as a kid. Could I afford a GBA and 50-60 dollars a game? Not really.

I emulated Earthbound on my phone and stopped playing it pretty quickly because it sucks ass with touch controls.
Funny thing is, shortly after my friends saw me playing it, my one friend who is the ultimate normie blended with the ultimate weeb with a gooey tumblr center poster herself playing it on snapchat.

celeron, i dont fucking remember anon it was 15-20 years ago
it was a PC I bought for like 300 dollars with like 256mb ram and no video card and like a 20gb hdd and a crt so go figure.
>>329538580
I guess I should say pleb I stead of normie.
amazon takes forever to deliver anything to my house even If I use prime.
ive had mishaps with cartrige stuff not working or even a letter explaining
>LOL I was drunk and I switched the orders, enjoy this game instead
Its just more practical to emulate instead of waiting weeks and hoping whatever I pay money for works.
And honestly, if it isnt easily accessible in a fucking video game store, im not going way out of my way to hunt down a hard copy. NES,SNES,N64, Genesis stuff just isnt around unless you want to buy it digitally on a console, which I dont have.
What reason do I have to NOT emulate besides
>its fair to the company xd
80% of the love devoted to Nintendo is based around nostalgia faggotry and people are fucking obsessed with reliving their childhood
Because newer Nintendo games suck.
>>329537730
They actually don't
When phones were starting to get popular, many people were like "Oh I can play Pokeman on it like when I was a kid" then it slowly stopped
This was back when I was in highschool, so like 5 years ago? Stop living under a rock
>>329537968
Stop being so bitter
Well, I'm surprised no one brought the obvious why carry another shit around when you could do it on the phone you are already carrying around?
Other thing: most people dont know that you can emulate almost everything...even on a phone.
I play PSP games there (I have a PSP, but it bothers my boss to see me playing with that on my free time)
>>329537730
Because they don't actually give one ounce of shit about the industry and just looking for something to waste time on their most used platform, mostly for convenience since people use their smartphone for everything
>>329540798
I love playing weeb shit on my phone's PPSSPP
I have a 3DS but I never take it outside, I can play on my phone and look like a normal member of society
It's about their personal image, owning a Nintendo device is like screaming at the top of your lungs that you're a man child and the tweens growing up with Xbox and Playstation have to maintain their mature appearance, playing Nintendo games on their PC or handheld at least gives them a reason to say "well, I didn't pay for any of it!"
What I don't get is when fanboys of one company attack Nintendo, yet wish Nintendo goes 3rd party so they can play Mario and Zelda on their console of choice.
>>329540947
Exactly. It's pretty awesome desu
Saya so best.
Hotaru a shit.
>>329538018
Because you like them slutty.
>>329537968
this is so true
I know so many people who did this, but they usually stop after getting 1 or 2 badges
Normies only ever emulate the old Pokemon games and other games of their childhood.
Why would they ever buy Pokemon Rehash #1953 Edition and Fire Emblem Censored? Gee, I wonder.
>>329537730
Same reason I pirate all my weeb shit.
I have a public image to maintain.
>>329541170
probably because they realize the old pokemon games are ass
>>329541032
Because you can't play on a console while you're and about, dumbass.
>why play games on something you have on you all the time
>instead of having to bring a brick around that only plays games
>>329541305
jezus
i want to rip her clothes off
normies don't emulate
>>329541442
they do
But 99% of the time it's Firered on GBA
>>329541475
>implying it's not the touhou firered romhack
>>329537730
>best girl won't win
Fuck everything.
>>329537730
Because they are scared of looking uncool. Just look at all the diamond dog stuff floating around. We dont give a shit about it but normies are extremely sensitive to that kind of stuff. If they perceive that socail equals or superiors will look down on them for doing something they will do their best to hind it or will avoid it as much as possible.
>>329541518
No one wins though.
Saya is into Coconuts
Coconuts is into Hotaru
Hotaru is into Dagashi
>>329541932
>No one wins
That's even worse.
They're not actually going to pay money for a nostalgia trip like you losers
>>329537730
I assume normies do it to play old pokemon games, but I've never seen any of them actually do it.
I have a gbc emulator with a few turn based rpgs and tcg games (trying to play other genres feels uncomfortable with the little virtual keyboard) so I can play them when I have some down time between classes or are stuck in a doctors waiting room or whatever.
Because my ds got stolen with pokemon white instead
And 3ds is a really weak console.You just kind of dont want to buy a 3ds when even an iphone 5 performs better than it.
>>329544076
Who gives a fuck about performance? Enjoy your emulation with crippled controls, retard.
Because while I really like old nintendo and old pokemons I won't pay for an unsupported 20+ non PC game.
If they want my money they are better off trying to make a new multiplat pokemon game like an mmo.
>>329541305
>>329537730
Because even normies have the sense to not buy shit they can easily emulate for free.
>>329537730
Convenience and portability.
Also because i don't want to go thru the trouble of hunting down a pokemon blue version cart, paying someone to replace the battery, then paying some shitlord $50 for an old sticky GBC with a missing battery cover that reeks of newport smoke when I can just pay $5 for an emulator app and run the thing on something I already own.
I don't buy new nintendo shit because they a havent released anything to justify the cost. The only reason I even keep my Wii is because i don't want a second-hand gamecube and it can run netflix.
>>329544157
Its fucking pokemon.Its not like im doing anything fancy with the controls
>>329544076
Inside*
>>329537968
This combined with MUH CHILDHOOD BUT EVERYTHING THAT ISNT MY CHILDHOOD BUT IS RELATED TO IT BAD AND HAVING THIS OPINION MAKES ME A BETTER AND MORE IMPORTANT FAN THAN THE MORE LOYAL ONES
Had a guy call me out of the blue to help him play Pokemon Fire Red.
He was playing it on his cellphone.
Worst part is he had a phone specifically to play it, not even using his main phone.
So I'm guessing it's a mixture of convenience, social stigma, or just not giving a fuck among other things I can't fathom.
People are weird, get used to it or don't talk to people.
>>329537730
>normies love to emulate Nintendo g
strange
all normies i know hate nintendo because they make games for kiddies and then they go play FiFA or some shit
>>329545273
That's just a facade created by their own immaturity.
>>329537730
Because Nintendo games are good, but not good enough to buy a console to play them.
Also because the consoles that are easily played and emulated on the phone are NES, SNES and Gameboy Color/Advance, and while emulating Nintendo consoles people are sure to play nintendo games. If most phones could easilly emulate PS2 games people would play these instead.
>>329545273
Sounds like you're younger than me. Or I'm talking to different normies than you. A lot I know grew up with Pokemon and still play it sometimes or would play it, if they had a 3ds.
>>329537730
aren't you a little too old to be ironically watching shitty shows anon?
>>329537730
>normies
>emulation
Your mistake was thinking anyone who isn't as autistic as you is a "normie"
A normie doesn't emulate. A normie plays Assassin's Creed on his Xbox and buys no more than 3 games a year.
>>329537730
>why do people play good games and not bad games
>>329546240
That doesn't make any sense in this context.
>>329546240
wrong thread?
