Somewhere in the future there will be an information leak or some other reliable source of information from which it will be made known that at some point Nintendo lost years of code due to pure incompetence of some bored employee (even better if an executive ordered the destruction of such data on basis of being obsolete) and had to viciously attack this creator and their site in order to attain a viable way to rebuild their original technology, after realizing people want to play old titles.
