All Nintendo ROMs are no longer available on Coolrom because of copyright issues.

Nintendo has taken down all Nintendo-branded ROMs from Coolrom due to copyright issues. I discovered this recently through the official Nintendo site and Reddit discussions. It seems their recent stance on emulation is being reinforced. While some believe it’s overreacting, others argue that if you own a legitimate copy, it should be fine. On Coolrom’s Facebook page, many users are still confused, and the company hasn’t commented yet. Would you like your thoughts shared below?
Nintendo's shared torrents now have even more participants. Everyone loves it! Did they start this before or after the developer of the year awards?
Obtaining ROMs is against the law. Please understand that. Emulators are completely acceptable. This explains why devices running older consoles sold officially don’t contain the games themselves—they require a physical cartridge with the ROM, which the emulator loads or reads directly from.
They have done it long before. Occasionally Nintendo undertakes a "clean up," a necessary action to safeguard its trademarks and protect its intellectual property from public exposure. This is crucial for a company because if Nintendo appears in court claiming it "encourages" piracy without taking steps, they risk losing the case.
Nintendo is totally missing us, PC gamers. If they had made great PC titles, XBox and PlayStation 4 might have vanished instantly.
It doesn’t really matter. There are plenty of options for obtaining the ROMs.
