Refreshingly honest Jim. He hasn't talked about Nintendo in a long while.

Next, here’s some additional details from the Japanese FAQ:

• as mentioned above, the person who created the Family Group is the Admin;
• you can have up to 8 people in your group, including the Admin and any associated Child Accounts;
• Child Accounts created before May 15th are automatically added to your Family Group;
• you cannot be part of more than one Family Group, at least not with the same account;
• anyone that’s part of the Family Group can subscribe to the Family Membership: it’s not just the Admin that can do so. Also, when someone subscribes to the Family Membership, everyone else in the group automatically benefits from it;
• you can set specified members as Guardian (for Parental Controls). Only members who are at least 18 years old can become one;
• this may seem overly obvious, but Nintendo specifies that members of a Family Group do NOT share Nintendo eShop funds, purchase history, or My Nintendo Points.

Look at Arlo,
He's a Nintendo Fan who takes a balanced view of the company he loves, and what they do.
Look at Jim, he tries to gain views by being controversial and "edgy".
Don't be like Jim, be like Arlo!

He's the biggest troll on the internet; takes the tiniest negative thing and blows it way out of proportion just so he can get some attention.

Occasionally, he makes a good point and shows some semblance of intelligence, but he ruins it all with his obnoxiousness and generally being an a$$hole.

Expressly not the same thing.
It appears that the Virtual Console brand is being retired and they are likely to bring some other way to the table, to allow them to charge everyone again for the same games they've bought multiple times, and will buy again!
We just have to wait to see what they have in store.

It would be a handy shortcut though, to sell the Ninty Gamecube back catalogue for example, plenty of great content there, from the original Luigi's Mansion to FZero GX.

Is there a list of the 20 nes games? Some old games I'd love to play against online opponents.

Sure it's not the first console to be banned due to hacking. Same with MS and Sony. If you want to hack your console, it's best not to hack the one you play online with.
And sure would you want to play Mario Kart or Splatoon with someone who has it hacked?

He doesn't state in his video though that the Outrun files are a free for all, he's talking about not using Nintendo development tools to port to the Switch. Nowhere does he link to or share any copyright protected code. The code he has ported, is the open source code to Cannonball, which is a rewrite of the Outrun engine. I can't find out if this rewrite is or isn't using any of Sega's original code, but the fact it's freely available through GitHub suggests there's nothing untoward with Cannonball itself. Where copyright is potentially breached, is requiring the original arcade rom file for Outrun, which supplies the graphics and sound to the rewritten Cannonball engine.

As for the exploit itself, I'll 100% be using it once Atmosphere is launched, and Retroarch is ported over to the Switch.

If the console was modded and he was playing copyright material then it serves him right.

My money's on this being a targeted ban.
