A point the video makes is that derivative works (ROM hacks, translations, etc) are made much more difficult to access as well by Nintendo killing the sites entirely. Those hacks are works in progress with many new hacks released even in the present day.
Super rare games or imports were sometimes hard to find that early in the game. It wasn’t even just the age of the internet, but the age of the emu scene too.
Right there with you. Like as soon as I found out about emulators and “warez” I was nabbing all kinds of stuff I read about in Nintendo Power but never saw in a store to even ask my parents to get for me lol
I’ve been pirating them since 1998. I also loaded them onto my hacked Switch using their own emulators.

True, although despite Nintendo’s efforts, I’ve never had any trouble finding their roms. It’s certainly easier now than it was 20 years ago!
I didn’t even have issues finding ROMs before the 2000s… Maybe patched/translated ones yeah, but bare ROMs… I don’t think so.
There was just less stuff in general on the internet back then, so it was more a case of less places to find them.
