In some unsurprising news it would appear as though Nintendo of America has shut down yet another browser-based Game Boy emulator. The Game Boy Advance emulator was powered by Javascript and was playable within the browser, which clearly proved to be popular with internet users. The Game Boy emulator was hosted by popular developer platform GitHub and allowed users to play a number of games including Advance Wars and Pokemon Emerald. Here’s the message displayed by Nintendo of America.

Good move Nintendo
eh i honestly don’t care
Go Nintendo! Pro censorship ftw /sarcasm
you mean… anti-piracy ftw /sarcasm
Well, it would be nice if Nintendo allowed 3ds owners to purchase Advance Wars. I want the original for GBA hardcore.
Emulation itself is fine, as long as you supply the ROM, the website was allowing people to play ROM’s that the user didn’t supply.
Haha haha haha what a loser.
Well duh. What did you expect. Probably some idiot pirates sitting in Brazil or another tax raped country thinking they can do anything. You’re still not getting games for free, nobody is. So shut up.
I got four swords for free. Does that count? It was during the four days for free only thing!
Good.
Nintendo come on are you making profits of the Gameboy Advance and it’s title?
Want to play gba games? Go on eBay buy a gameboy sp and some games or buy a wiiu for the gba vc games.
