Nintendo worries me

[segamer]

A website that hosted an archive of Nintendo Power scans was taken down by Nintendo last week. I'm not sure why Nintendo is so gung-ho over old IP. I am thankful that Nintendo has left TCP alone... GULP! Knock on wood!

I do understand Nintendo being overly protective of it's IP, as Nintendo IS their IP. Without Mario, Zelda and Pokemon the company is nothing. Why would you buy a Wii U to NOT play first party games.

That being said, they to need to calm down and take a note from SEGA, or Star Wars or something, and let the fans show their affection. If you are not going to celibate Metroid's birthday, don't crash the fan's party (AM2R). There are probably better ways to protect your IP while letting fans create. I know there are 'protect it or loose it' clauses in copyright. If a company fails to protect their IP, it can be used against them, and weakens their ability too.

Especially when you take down something like the NP archive, yet you have no official upload of it all. Well, there are still ways of finding it. . .


Maybe Japan has stricter laws or something and killing all the fan projects is mandated from them.

Nintendo hates us. All I did was scan the box art of games that are owned by Nintendo, as well as instruction booklets and cartridge labels.

No. I still have them on box.com. In fact, I'm so gonna miss Nintendo Power archive.

i got the CBR files does anybody know where i can get a free and good comic book reader?

[wiggy]

Iirc, I believe you can just change the extension to .PDF and read them that way.

[Seraph Man]

If they are CBR files, you can always rename the extension back to RAR and extract the images.
I use Comic Rack for my digital comics.

On PC one of the most popular readers would be CDisplay Ex:

+1, anyone got these?

I was able to snag them (I believe all of them, 134 total) in CBR form.  There are some issues missing chronologically, but I do not think they were uploaded to begin with.

If you guys decide to share, please do so between PMs. I really don't want Nintendo to red flag this here
