The Original Article I found it was important enough for it be easily read in English. Even Steam, and my Own Slave Master has issues with these shady sites offering zip files of God knows what.

With a ‘clean’ URL, producer begs for removal of illegal content Nintendo has been battling piracy for decades. This time, the publisher wants to undo any search links that direct the user to illegal content. Instead of regular DMCA notifications, the gaming company uses anti-circumvention complaints to have Google remove URLs from jailbreak software and flash card adapters from its search engine. The Team-Xecuter program is the main target, but the company also targets legitimate stores like Newegg.

The company has an internal anti-piracy division that signals recent threats and eventually provides oversight guidance. The initiative resulted in several actions against ROM sites, as well as blocking other portals. The attitude also places e-commerces that sell r4i memory card adapters.

However, in recent months the company has adopted another strategy to limit the availability of these sites worldwide by turning to Google directly. The game company has sent removal warnings to the search engine trying to knock down thousands of URLs. However, these requests are not a guarantee of official ban. With that in mind, Nintendo flags the sites for violating the DMCA anti-circumvention provision.

“Nintendo’s technology protection measures (‘TPMs’) ensure that only official copies of its game software can be played on Nintendo’s video game systems,” writes Nintendo.

“The circumvention devices, products or components offered on the reported links bypass Nintendo TPMs so that users can play unauthorized copies of Nintendo game files that are offered illegally over the Internet,” it added in a statement.

Although Google has voluntarily opted out of URLs, there is no need to leave a counter-notification option. The situation puts the “pirate” sites at a disadvantage.

Ever wonder why Nintendo games just come out working when most 3rd Party triple A games have you shouting at the screen in agony over the endless glitches and hiccups and yes hours of first day download patches that don’t seem to fix that?
Reading this ACNH article helps. The philosophy of not, and they do this without Government intervention. Just offer a cooler contract, going day and night and basically putting the employee, half asleep testing and coding the games.
Yes Animal Crossing New Horizons sounds exciting to have, even know there is a lot now to enjoy on the Switch, but really, it’s lot better if there isn’t a lot of irritating glitches from terrible release date timing.

So your some classic liberal trouble maker who fights tax collectors, and one day you find a Blastia is not fixed by a Mage, but stolen.
You wind up in Jail, and well get told how to get out, leading you into intrigue.
Blastia, well it’s like a Magicite (FF6) or Xenoblade Chronicles 2 core crystal. Even Mako, I suppose.
Well with conversations familiar to Bravely or Octopath, Environments like FF9, with Camera Movements like Bravely (Default and Second). A theme of orb like Crystals. No great unsatisfying meaning behind it, unlike Xenoblade games. A FF9 type Weapon/Skill System. Crafting called Synthesis, and yes something like Titans.
In fact the XB2 cycle of Titan to Crystals are here, but no silly blade-person type thing with a Gotcha to it.
A lot of anti-Government, anti-Authoritarian undertones, with some pre-English era Shogun sympathies.
That’s Tales of Vesperia, a deeply engrossing game, with a twist or two. With English and Japanese audio.
