This is what Nintendo does cause they've got more than enough idiots buying anything with Mario on the cover, no matter how shitty the actual game is. Why are any of you surprised? This is the same company that didn't bother releasing the entire 'Mother' series properly until it was already fan-translated by the internet and the rom was floating around for almost a decade...
Why do you think they even bothered with Virtual Console for the Wii? They finally saw the appeal that digital-emulation had with people and decided to cash in as much as they could. 15 years late, but still, they finally did it, as overpriced and eye-gougingly retarded limited as the selection is, still.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Wii hackers were able to obtain the source code for the Wii emulators and find entire portions (if not outright theft) of open-source software being used in violation of copyright licenses.
Nintendo will just wait for fan-translators to do the work for them (which they will) and then they'll steal the translation, remove any references to the fan translation/group, and then release the finished product here and call it a day.
Fuck you Nintendo, fuck you to hell. Crash and fucking burn and end up like Sega...I hope.
