Free roms? (Not illegal ones)

WARNING, RANT BELOW!

If everyone will permit me to go off on a wild tangent, I think that Nintendo sucks.  It's one thing not to believe in emulation, but it's quite another to say it's illegal, that offering legal ROMs would be legitimizing piracy, and not offer ANY way for consumers to play their classic games.  If you'll pardon the poor analogy, that's like the following:

There are two bridges to get to the town of Smallville, where people really want to go!  One is owned by Nintendo, and they put up barbed wire and have guards there 24/7 to make sure no one can get across.  The other bridge is a little bit run down, and slightly shady, but is free for all the public.  The problem?  Nintendo parked a semi-truck on the latter bridge.  They also place landmines on it, and so no one can pass there either.   :timebomb:

It's like this with Nintendo's classic games.  They are Smallville.  Packages and compilations are represented by the first bridge, and emulation by the second.  nintendo clearly doesn't want my money, as I would happily pay for a package/compilation. 

From now on, I call for a boycott on anything Nintendo, until they give us some classics!

(Pants from his intense rant.)
