Nintendo has had quite a few bigger PR and marketing disasters over the years, whether it is related to Animal Crossing, Mario, Pokemon, or anything else Nintendo. / rocketelijah
Mother 3 isn't going to be localized anytime soon due to American music copyright laws being even dumber than American video game copyright laws, so that game specifically is out of their control
you act as though they need it lol. there will always be children who will buy their games. that's their target demographic. they do not give a shit if a couple thousand of adults on the internet are mad they can't pirate and mod their games lmao
Okay, with the mother 3 thing, I'm just gonna say it, I feel like majority of the people saying "localize mother 3!" Will also get mad if it's locked to the online stuff, but if they release it normally, people will still get mad that it costs more than $20.
The price announcement of Tears of The Kingdom also coincided with the Nintendo Switch Online Voucher program. Also remember how the reveal trailer got delayed one day? It was supposed to be revealed the same day of Queen Elizabeth II passing.
I still remember how there were theories swirling around then that the game was titled "Death of the Royal" or something like that, and it would be too insensitive to release it, so Nintendo would need to scrap everything. Funny to laugh about it looking back
they fr were like “oh btw we’re delaying this broadcast in the UK :3” but that was most certainly because they saw the news, looked at the title of the game and realized “goddamn it”
19:30 The developers of that Cooking Mama game (Planet Digital) did in fact make a press release in February 2019, stating that the game would be "the first game to incorporate blockchain technology on major consoles" (among other blockchain-y things). So it is pretty understandable why the performance/overheating issues would have been chalked up to crypto-y blockchain-y shenanigans.
They said it yes but it was just a case of a company using buzzwords as an failed attempt to hype something up rather than actual features. It later came out that they had no idea what crypto even was and it was just terms they'd heard that they thought sounded cool. The Switch isn't even physically capable of mining bitcoin.
TPC probably confused nuzlockes with randomizers, as they're paired up usually on RU-vid. So when Kit and Krysta wanted to do a nuzlocke, a thing which TPC isn't that aware of, they probably looked it up, and saw all the randomizer nuzlocke content, thus comparing it to using a hacked version of a game.
I was wondering if maybe TPC just didn't want nuzlocke runs to be recognized in any official capacity, but this theory checks out too. Either way it's definitely just a miscommunication somewhere along the line rather than kit n krysta actively and intentionally trying to spread misinformation
It could've also been because of a misunderstanding, they might've only known a little bit about it and thought the challenge was enforced by a mod or ROM hack.
Love the video!! but i do want to mention the reason brick bronze was likely taken down is because it had a ton of robux related boosts and items. Meaning the people behind it were technically making money off of it
Hi there! Love your videos I'm Native (Kanai/Blackfoot) so honestly on the Mr. Game and Watch situation honestly, I managed to miss but this is one of those situations where it is an offense stereotype that I am personally sick of seeing. It's the 'savage indian' stereotype especially given the original Game and Watch game it was based on. Most of my childhood I grew up with seeing only really stereotypes of Natives that were only based on a handful of tribes (usually the tribes in the plains) I know it's not as bad as an entire football team having a literal racist term as a team name. But it's something I would prefer not to see. This is honestly kinda of a loaded topic once you learn more about what has happened and is still happening to Natives. I appreciate you asking for our opinions on this since in general minority groups aren't really properly listen to.
Sorry this continues to happen to you. I hope someday we can leave all of the ... honestly insulting caricatures and prejudices in the past, where they should be, if they have to be somewhere at all.
i can't really agree that i think there was any justification in not only the outcome but in general directly suing the person who ran that rom website. Metallica suing individual fans for piracy turned them into a joke in the greater music community, why hasn't this happened with Nintendo yet
Little does RU-vid know you’re the best one out there and on the brink of going viral. You deserve millions of subs with your commentary! Please keep moving toward Nintendo Variety as your channel grows
on the price increase, it also varies with country, here in Canada, a lot of Switch games are 80 dollars each even for simple side scrolling mario and 50 dollars extra for the NSO expansion, PS5 games are no different ranging from 70 to 120 bucks, it's pretty insane at the moment and I tend to emulate more just to get games still because costs too much, I have to save up my fixed income money for even one single game, yeah Nintendo didn't think this through with the pandemic effecting price of existence so yeah if Nintendo want us to buy more, then lower prices, especially when sidescrolling Mario is not worth 80 f@#%ing dollars, Mario Odyssey I can see being 80 cause of the huge open world, high graphics, lots of content, 3-D platformer, yeah 80 dollars, but Mario U and Wonder, no, far from it, at most 20 dollars cause it's basically NES Mario but 2.5D instead of 2-D
@@Vulpashmmm, yes, the woke agenda of.... wanting smash turnaments and not having fun fan projects C&D-ed. Listen, i love Nintendo games, but the company sucks ass to an insane degree, lol.
Glad they didn't include the Pokemon seizure incident because there seems to be a trend of RU-vidr who cover it putting the real footage of the show in the videos, me having epilepsy and whatnot it made my heart sink when I saw a split second the familiar yet dreadful episode.
I honestly wish the guy would've just forced them to give him a break by doing it himself. If your safety is on the line, asking nicely will just not be enough. The job was on the line, but come on. Just to clarify, I'm not blaming him. I just wish it could've been prevented because I hate seeing people get hurt for reasons like these :(
i still have those thin wrist straps on two of my wii remotes. the other two in my four set have the updated ones, since they snapped. i didn’t know the old ones were recalled until a few years ago, actually…
I would agree with your point on Zelda but we're already seeing $70 being the new price for games not just from Nintendo. Not saying Zelda is why but it is note worthy to say was what is making more games list at $70. It's not many but it's increasing pretty steadily.
decieded to buy the 20$ online access back during the mario 35 stuff , twas a scam in my eyes since i mainly play single player games and rarely ever touched the multiplayer games , just feels like a extra paywall , plus i dont even main the switch wich makes it feel even more like a scam
I randomly had the sudden urge to play the smash bros games, as I really enjoyed Brawl's campaign and thought that every version of smash had something similar. It was sad when I found out that they didn't.
Speaking of the cooking momma game that makes your fan inside spin like crazy i swear my fan only spins like crazy when i play pokemon scarlet and voilet. Every other game it stops after A while but it never stops with that pokemon game.
The whole native American thing was dumb same goes to the mario wearing a Sombrero, as a mexican myself I feel disappointed they took that off the cover 😡
14:59 im not native, but i went to high school with the same mascot as the Washington football team. Its a slur. Using it as a mascot was wrong. We changed our mascot after I graduated like a decade ago
28:58 Well you know, it is kind of fair though. I can definitely see how allowing fan content could be a slippery slope, you allow one thing and then something that's very similar but with a few decisions that maybe don't really align with what you want your company being viewed as show up, but since you allowed the first thing it would seem fairly rational to allow this because its similar, then while the next one is even further from desirable it's not too far from the second, and so you just have this gradual bit by bit worsening of the type of content being created up until you're suddenly associated with doom and gloom when you're supposed to be a family company. It's not like that isn't exactly how that goes either, companies that allow fan content always inevitably have this kind of crud happen, so best to just burn it at its roots.
A reminder that Tomodachi Life doesn't allow same sex couples, but does allow for couples with a high age gap. I had a few Miis who wanted to confess to others, despite one being elder and the other being around their 20s/30s, I even tried setting birthdays to see if that would change it, but no, ew...
You mentioned Nintendo Ninjas and leaks, but not the part where leaked documents outlined how Nintendo was literally stalking and harassing people who knew how to hack the 3DS?
Company or rich person: *Does something clearly evil* Victim: I'm going to settle and keep everything annnomous. No point in trying to actually hold influential people publicly accountable!
"Nintendo has had quite a few bigger PR and marketing disasters over the years, whether it is related to Animal Crossing, Mario, Pokemon, or anything else Nintendo." That description of yours doesn't make a lick of sense.
I wouldn’t have minded Switch Online if they didn’t sabotage the Pokémon Sword DLC to practically require it to access all the content. Those mega raid whatever dens are almost unplayable without Switch Online. The NPCs I’m forced to team up with will occasionally just straight up sabotage me. It’s a $30 DLC for a $60 game, and part of it requires a subscription to play. What the heck?
@@YujiUedaFan Another 3DS emulator will arise, I'm sure. Although not having access to one for a fair amount of time is definitely unfortunate. Although I heard that Citra devs had discord users in their server paying them for the emulator? I think it was Citra otherwise it's Yuzu (in which case my point is null), but that would be the only reason it even got hit at all.
for tomodachi, if they did add gay jank the rating would go up so I can see why they wouldn’t make another one unless they are absolutely sure it’ll make cash.
my boyfriend says the same thing. he got it for me for christmas, and while he has played it, hasn’t progressed much because he thinks it boring. i haven’t played much of it either!
So you don't know how Mr. Game & Watch works? If that special move would not have been removed then you could have spammed that offensive Native American move as much as you wanted and the problem would have been much worse than just 'one frame'.
I don't think any native Americans were hurt in the slightest by being shown in a video game, there was absolutely no negative connotations or anything, it barely even looked like it was actually a native American to begin with, it looked like a black blob. A single frame of animation that flashes by in a game is probably not going to do any harm to anyone. Personally, I wouldn't have then gone and changed it like Nintendo did, but of course I make games for my own personal entertainment and probably wouldn't even really care if someone might find it offensive because it was never for them anyway, whereas Nintendo makes games for money primarily as well as some side goals which means it is important to cater to the audience even if it means changing a tiny minute detail in a single frame of animation.
