I'm a total n00b when it comes to these.

Are there websites that post and promote them when these go up? I'd imagine they'd get cease and desist letters from Nintendo almost immediately. 

Does anybody have any of these? What's the quality like?

The only bootleg I own, as far as I know, is this:
https://www.discogs.com/Kanye-West-Graduation/release/5211704
And it looks totally legit to me. 

You are correct about the cease and desist letters. 
In general, in this day and age, video game boots tend to be labors of love by genuine fans, and great care is taken with not only the audio but the visual package and extras, stickers, prints. I have very rarely been disappointed, most often I'm floored by the presentation, and if the sound is bad it's usually a lathe cut. 
That said, this Tony Hawk boot doesn't seem to have the same love and care. Seems hastily made, and it somehow looks like it will sound bad. I still want it though.

It sounds fucking amazing.  Got mine in today and spun it twice.  So

.. that's all I've gotta say about that.

Fuck yeah man!   Censored overpriced boots always sound awesome to the suckers who bought them.  Good for you.

What exactly are you doing here? Do you just troll threads of records you have no interest in owning just to shit on those who do? Sweet dude.

Yeah, I guess me saying the sound quality sucks is a bit of an exaggeration but when you compare this release’s sound and presentation to boots from labels in the scene it’s not even a contest. 
 

The fact that they advertise it that it’s /100 when it clearly isn’t doesn’t make me respect it much, either.

 

I’m happy that people are enjoying them, though! I think I am overly critical because I really appreciate the artistry of VGM soundtracks (mostly speaking about the boots tbh).

I own it, just arrived today.  Bought it to flip to a dumb.  Where does that put me,  big guy?  Surely this will strike a nerve, which is great.  To top it off,  it’s a solid laugh for me.  This boot  is garbage, as expected.  There are decent boots, then there are shit boots.  This is the bottom of the septic tank.  Anyone excited to own this is delirious.

No nerves struck here man. You do you. If you find pleasure in buying records you hate just to flip, posting nonsense 5 pages deep on a thread about it, and talking shit on everyone else who’s here to enjoy and discuss the album, that’s all you. Go get em tiger!

Youre so edgy, man.
