[game_preservation] More games pulled from virtual console

[Frank Cifaldi]

Indeed. As far as I know, the raw files from every Virtual Console release
have been ripped and torrented thousands of times over, so I'm not
personally worried about games getting pulled. It's not ideal, but it's the
best we can expect to have accomplished I think. Too bad we can't say the
same about other digital Nintendo stuff from the past, like a lot of the
games that were beamed into the BS modem in Japan.
