I was the developer of Shantae for the Nintendo Switch | MVG 

Any sensible company would license this emulator to port other games but Nintendo is too stubborn and obtuse for that

@@wile123456 Nintendo’s like: “what, money? I already have a ton of that, why would I want to invest more to make customer’s experiences better and also make more of it”

​@@wile123456 : My God, Nintendo! How could you be so obtuse! Nintendo: What the F*** did you call me?! (from the Shawshank Redemption)

theres a reason pirating exists

@@akiwiwithaface8911 I don't get it! Nintendo literally has money thrown to them like a beautiful stripper do and they don't want it.. and I will never understand why.. it's like they are doing anything immoral they are being simply asked to make games or rerelease a game or make the online services better.. Nintendo running from honest money makes me shake my head..

Now we just need to get cooler master or Corsair to make woodgrain case designed by you, Clint!

Dang...I love seeing a community in action.

But can you put a pi in it?

Hi ETA, big fan.

oh hey ETA prime how about making a video about Poco X3 pro ?

Funny, but sadly true. Nintendo from a legal and business side is not your best friend. They care about keeping the average customer happy (target audience being just people who like their games), but not community homebrew creators happy who want to actually improve what's already there and do a service.

This is exactly why Nintendo needs to be less uptight about it, like it's one thing if you are posting specifically about fan projects (which while still shitty, Nintendo does technically have full right to enforce their copyright), but unrelated Homebrew shouldn't be claimed cause the devs that work on these things might end up being the next big dev working on your platform in the future in official capacity bringing you lots of sales

@@KetwunsGamingPad No company is your friend, period. Some are just more open to doing business with you than others.

Nintendo always had an answer to this particular answer just in case they were asked. They said a specific hour range but I did not pay too much attention to it. They basically that the amount of time that it is matches the normal amount of hours that the average player plays in a week. Every game that every player has ever played on emulation has been following that policy. I do not remember if it mentioned anything about how they felt about their games being pirated fully. They might have said something about it specifically, but I do not exactly remember. Do not ask me where I found this information at, because I do not remember. They have their reasons on not allowing fan made games involving Luigi on the most part being made into an actual licensed Nintendo game. Using Luigi for a party game or family friendly game should not be a problem. I know that they mentioned that rejected some of the Super Mario 64 fan made games already. There is certain facts about Luigi that Nintendo does not want anyone who knows about them to be posted anywhere where everyone can see them. Nintendo also mentioned this also when they got interviewed as well.

I know that Spirit Tracks will not let you proceed in the game if you are playing a pirated copy. Although it might have been made in a family environment, and then submitted to Nintendo like Phantom Hourglass was. I found the proof confirming how Phantom Hourglass was made somewhere on the internet. The game does act very different than a Nintendo manufactured game, so it could be possible the reason is the same as Phantom Hourglass.

My boi play this game too

Lesss GOOOO

sonic.exe fan is here, wtf bruh

Or how they swapped A and B with each other to keep it consitent with the other games on the system!

right, the Saints Row series is a nightmare with joystick delay

Goddamn right. I want to play OoT again but the port on Wii U has soooooooooooooo much delay it's hard to play, esp combined with 20fps it just seems so laggy.

I wish i heard this from cyberbug 2067 devs ngl

Most games effectively double-buffer graphics, due to hardware limitations. They poll input and calculate new game state one frame, then the next frame send that new state to the graphics chip. With emulation you can emulate a frame ahead to get the graphics a frame earlier, removing 16 milliseconds of lag. See RetroArch's input lag compensation.

indeed

The New age

Modding Vintage Developer

exactly, what i was thinking.

The powers of paying Nintendo their license fee. Don't think they managed to do that so cheaply.

My least favorite part about this is that Nintendo has such a hostile relationship with their community in the first place. When someone is such a big fan that they volunteer lots of time to make cool stuff based on your work... that's not a threat. Don't sue that person, hire them. But Nintendo doesn't seem to have figured this out yet. They're still stuck in an old proprietary model of thinking about the world, trying to control everyone and everything, instead of adopting a more open and cooperative model. If they weren't such a big company. their outdated community-hostile practices would have been fatal by now.

@@ToyKeeper So you figure every single pirate is skilled enough to be emplyable?

@@angelusnielson7135 If I understand correctly, you think enthusiasts and pirates are the same thing? Like, the guy who made this video was a "pirate" until he got hired? What a strange way to view the world.

It is so worth buying. The controls respond very well, the animation is fluid, and music is excellent. It is a must add to your library

Same here. It's a good way to say thank you for the awesome game and for sharing your fascinating journey with us.

Nice!

@@PSVitaat2am most ultimate comment crossover ever

@@PSVitaat2am James

Lol

back in the day they used to quality controll their games extensivly before release....i know the unherd legend of the qa controll

Jajaja lol

You guys test your games?

why pay an entire Department to be in charge of QA, when you can just Crowdsource it for free? [/s]

Highly recommend the videos MVG has done on the ports released for the switch and his work on homebrew with the original xbox, super enjoyable to watch

Sephiroth seems enthusiastic too XD

The on.y thing I’m worried about is if there are any legal issues with him having worked with an official dev kit.

@@admiraladama5877 if it's with a developer who got a dev kit officially then I see no problem legally

@@brandon_nope Indeed.

Yeah, I think he got caught between "hold water" and "pass muster". 06:47.

Pretty funny, I'll admit. In his defense, you don't want a leaky mustard container.

Ok Dee

Yep - they're often treated like disposable trash and underpaid, but they put in the work to make sure your game works as well as possible (or in the case of some AAA games, sucks as little as possible).

@@Damaniel3 imagine what cyberpunk was beforehand.... the remnants where what they couldnt fix in time.

Yep, it was very clear we didn't matter to the higher ups when I was a tester at activision about 15 years ago. It's a thankless job

@@Damaniel3 It's sad when you consider it. Management probably views them as people just getting to play video games and get paid for it. But it's SO MUCH more than that. When you're doing real QA, you're not even remotely getting to enjoy the experience. Your mind is on the work at hand, such as the level or specific area you're assigned to explore and find bugs in. You gotta focus and pay attention to what you're doing, where you're at, and how all that translates into your report after. Add on top of that the deadlines and stress of working, it's next to impossible to enjoy yourself in any personal fashion. Once that initial rush of playing the game for the first time wears off, it literally just turns into another job. VERY tedious. QA testers do not get paid enough or near enough respect. They are not just getting paid to play video games, they're getting paid to do a damn job.

@@Cuurian Correct. But emulation is still not a port. It's as annoying as when people say "I NEED MORE STORAGE" when they have RAM issues.

No, sadly they wont.... they are dumb and stubborn with this stuff

For real, I think I've played more SNES games on xSnes9X than on my actual childhood SNES. It was the first time I got to play a SNES emulator on my TV that ran at full speed, which Dreamcast couldn't do, and being able to hold White to speed up everything made replaying RPGs so much more palatable.

If you're still locked down, this might be the best opportunity in your life to learn a bit about programming. Try starting with a fantasy computer platform. Those strip away a lot of what makes game programming so intimidating in the first place, and they tend to use real programming langauges that are easier to learn than most, like Lua. Check out the TIC-80, download some sample games, read up on tutorials, and try to make a little bit of something. Even the smallest app that can move a sprite around is an achbievement, and you'll learn a lot.

@@ohnoitschris @ohnoitschris I can program, just not games. I'm in the midst of designing a cloud based creator management platform.

Watch AHOY, you won't be disappointed

Good thing you said *almost* always and not just always, there are exceptions

Pokemon Trading Card Gameboy was made before the Lass trainer card got made. That is why the card is not in the game. The game is also programmed to make itself unusable under certain circumstances, and it is also designed to crash and block any email and password based from being used again on the same emulation hardware, and likely possibly bricking the actual hardware that the game is being played on as well. The game also includes cards that are actually real and were actually made. Super Energy Removal was still a digital exclusive card at the time of its release, but it eventually got made into a real card. I know that I was using the card a lot in the game when I was younger, and wanting to physically hold the card in my hands. Some the Gameboy Color Exclusive cards are actually made and are real as well.
