Especially compounding this point are the releases themselves. Can it truly be argued that releases like Fates, Engage, and Bravely Default are worth preserving in their neutered state? Are you really preserving anything at all if you let the original real version of that game be lost in favor of the new shiny release or if you simply archive the censored english version?
I say no. We should be archiving the version that has been untouched by these alterations if we really care about the history of it. There is room for archiving both, but people need to be able to play these games as the devs made them, and the only way to do that is emulation and piracy, because Nintendo sure as fuck isn't gonna do it.
