Nintendo is Infuriating 

mmghgff nern profile picture

I don't get what people are saying shit about you, you're right. If we can't have access to our favourite games anymore emulators are the way to go.

​@@rachaelrandomassname1848If anything this has just been really fun. I just hope all of the people subbing don't expect this kind if negative video so often. It's just not the type of stuff I want to constantly put out

And the whole thing it's a never ending war, as many lawsuits Nintendo is capable off they will never fully cleanse the internet of Piracy and Emulators

@@ColeTheFactGuy Ended up here from a random youtube recommendation. RU-vid must've had an update to the algorithm, because I've noticed smaller and more relevant videos in my recommended section. Came for the admittedly negative rant and the way it probably resonates with the way I've been feeling about Nintendo, but I'm sticking around because of the way you communicated it. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the content you're going to make, positive or negative. Good luck.

Fuuuuck that's a good line. I wish I came up with it

Yeaaahhh booooiiii!! (Being broke is a good thing sometimes)

They're fine with that, actually. They want you to rent their games for the duration of your subscription. Oh, and not the whole library. Just a rotating cast with a lesser collection of mainstays.

What a load of bullshit. You act like they invaded your house and deleted your games.

@@renatoramos8834 For most companies they figuratively did do that at one point in time. Nintendo and Sega are 2 of the only Triple A Companies that hasn't done this yet

Obligatory? lol never heard the last part

Redistribution of paid software is common but "zomfg, don't you dare do it to our video games we'll summon our lawyers!" 🙄

If there was a company that I wish that that saying applied to Nintendo would probably be on the bottom of the list. Don't get me wrong they WOULD still be on the list but I hate most western game companies way more.

Nooooooooo if you pirate then they lose 60 dollars which will hurt their wallets with billions of dollars soooo much

​@@nobody..--. Th3y dont oose anything. Most pirates dont purqte games because they dont want to pay for the game but becayse they cant afford that. Nintendo wont get theur 60 bucks from me even if I wknt pirate a game. You know wjat is even better? Piracy is the best commercial a game can get. In countries like poland nack in the 80s 90s and even now nintendo newer cared to even lay a finger to make any of their games accessible there. Everyone was having bootleg famicons and thanks for that everyone knows who mario is. I can guarntee you that without that absolutley no adult would buy a switch for themselves

if thats the case they better get used to me not buying their games

Fair

YAAAAAAAARG HOIST THE SAILS WE BE VIRTUAL MACHEENIN.

I mean, legally speaking, you never owned your games. You just owned a license to it and a disk containing the software. Same to how you will technically never truly own a house. Your house is on government ground, and most likely funded with money loaned from the bank. Ownership means that if you die, whatever you left could be legally grabbed by anyone. But that doesnt happen with your house. If no one inherits your house, it will be taken by the bank and the government. If you truly owned it, anyone could claim it for themselves. The only real argument you can make surrounding games, is that you own the license, so you should legally be able to access what the license is promising. And I think there is a courtcase going on doing exactly that.

@@Predated2 except you do own a house. You can do work on it, move it, change it, demolish it and build a new one and it's all legal. With games if you tried doing any of that it wouldn't be fine. You can also choose what happens to your house when you die. Seems like your comparing oranges and apples here.

And i did, at the first opportunity.

I wouldn't. No place to put a 3D-printer large enough for that.

@@MyRegardsToTheDodo step 1) buy normal sized 3d printer 2) use it to print parts to make larger 3d printer 3) repeat until large enough 4) car 5) keep repeating 6) house

@@KyrstOak I think the original ad said "you wouldn't steal a car".

@@TMHLBPFan it closes in a couple months its still up atm

Probably because 360 games are stored on the same servers as the One and Series servers because of backwards compatibility.

@YD_. the ps3 and vita stores are also still up miraculously HOW THE HELL IS THE VITA STORE GONNA OUTLAST THE 3DS

@@Kneevirus I don’t know enough about Sony to know whether or not they have the PS3 or Vita games available from the PS4 or 5 online store. If they do, it’s probably also the same servers. I do know that Nintendo didn’t store the 3DS/WiiU content on the same servers as the Switch, meaning that they have to pay for the two sets of servers separately. The difference is that the Switch servers are turning a profit via Switch Online and can pay for themselves while the 3DS/WiiU servers were free to use, so Nintendo had to pay for the servers through profit from other things, aka, they were offering online services at a loss. It made sense when those were the flagship consoles and everyone was buying games from the 3DS/WiiU eShops, but because most people can get whatever game pirating since the older consoles were so easy to hack and since less people have been using the 3DS and Wii U, I can understand from a financial standpoint why Nintendo opted to close their servers. It’s not like they’re making the 3DS and Wii U unusable. They’re not Ubisoft, the consoles still work.

Im actually wondering how that would work now 🤔

@phinalbossbeater I'm sure if you find a good engine in a yard somewhere with good enough printer material to withstand everything, it COULD work

Buy a Ferrari for $500,000 or go to Emuparadise and download one for free? The choice is simple, here.

@@C.D.B.E.E. 3D printers. You'd need the correct materials. As the schematics download the car prints.

The crunchyroll one is the most frustrating. I would have issues where I'd be logged out a dozen times a night. And sometimes it would tell me I can only stream one instance of the app despite it being the only stream. I lost about 2-3 days of my subscription due to issues. But they will never ever give me the days back or anything. Any email hits a faceless drone that hates his job. They won't fix your issues because no one will fix theirs.

@@halftimex25 Seriously though there was a 2 WEEK period where it the app was just down with no explanation! Then when I cancelled they continued billing me for several months until I notified my bank and they dealt with it. We can't even blame the bot for not caring

@AddictiveSin that's why i only buy gift cards for it. But careful when buying them digitally. They can take hours sometimes to deliver.

Adblockers are not piracy, no matter what fairy tales RU-vid would like you to believe in. Not sure what you did with the Crunchyroll situation; I guess dowloading the torrents instead, which would classify that part of your story as piracy. But blocking ads is _not_ piracy; stop thinking it is. It is perfectly legal, just as it has always been perfectly legal to go to the toilet and grab a drink during commercials on TV, or simply turning the TV set off for 5 minutes while you wait for the program to start again.

@EvenTheDogAgrees tbh I think it should be borderline child abuse if you let your kid watch youtube without one. (Watching it in general, maybe) there are just too many freaks and pervs frying to push a kink on the younger people watching kids content. I'm talking vore,poop play has become crazy big for some reason that skid toilet thing or the Elsa Spiderman pregnancy piss stuff. RU-vid is disgusting without ad blocks. Even watching now I get a Mobile game ad showing a lady swallowing men who are lining up only to crap them out of some tentical limb. RU-vid ads are approved by a bunch of degenerates who should be held accountable for the shit they approve.

well as long as you make sure to buy it in the limited time the shop exists. at least if we are only talking legal ways. if you didnt buy everything you wanted on the 3ds shop your SOL if you didnt download it soon enough or if you had to delete it to make space for something else

And at least return copyright to its original length. Used to be copyright would only last a few years, now it lasts two lifetimes, mainly because of Disney's lobbying. These corporations intentionally are trying to functionally abolish the concept of public domain, just so that they can horde "intellectual property" indefinitely.

That would be amazing for abandonware.

See I want to think this would be nice but I guarantee you they will just slap everything behind a super expensive premium tier subscription you can only get on their newest console so they can loophole their way out of it while still making money off everyone

@@3am246 Lmao like Nintendo and its $50 tier for N64 games ?

And then if it doesn't sell as much as a throwaway Pokemon game made with zero effort and zero budget, they'll just say, "Oh, I guess nobody wants Metroid games anymore", and then cancel the entire IP.

Like how the censored Paper Mario cause they're too worried about "offending modern sensibilities" or some crap.

@@mrscruffles801 I'm _pretty_ sure i know what you're talking about, and can i ask exactly how it's 'censoring' to modify the english script to reflect something present in 80% of other language scripts for the game, including the Japanese original?

@@GoodGirlPeruru I'm referring to Goombella's being catcalled being censored, though since you decided to bring this up, no, Vivian was not a transvestite the original translation of the game. The original translation has been out there for a good while now, and the dialoged from the original is not the same as the new dialogue in the remake. There's a mod Called TTYD Plus that shows what the correct translation was, and in it, Vivian is described a crossddressing boy, not a t-girl.

Actually Nintendo hates Nintendo Fans more than anything else

@WuAgent What- that's like the most BS thing ever. People BEG for Nintendo to keep the 3ds server up, but somehow it wasn't profitable!?? Ffs, the vita sold worse than the 3ds and Sony still kept the servers up.

​@@tallyikroe2476Depends a lot on the publisher. Among the Paradox community, pirating is mostly common sense

Did you know the music for that anti-piracy advert was, in and of itself, stolen? Oh, the irony

Me looking at the Tesla-autopilot "game pass"

Yes! I bought so many games on the Game Cube for 20 or 30 € (which has always had a close to 1:1 exchange rate to the Dollar) as ORIGINAL BRAND NEW copies from stores! Those include 2 of my favorite games: Super Smash Bros. Melee and F-Zero GX. Many games back then were even 50 € at release. Nowadays, Nintendo asks you to pay 60 € for the near 15 year-old worst ever 3D Zelda game: Skyward Sword

Just recently I bought the Nintendo selects version of Super Paper Mario for 20 Bucks, which was also the original price for that. Nowadays Nintendo is like: „Here‘s a Sale where only a select few Games are like, 15% cheaper“

To be fair, people ignore the fact that Nintendo tends to leave a lot of fan-games alone. There's a huge Mario fan-game site that has been around for years that they never touch, for example. What about CTGP for MKWii? My point is that people broadly say Nintendo takes down all fan-games, when in reality, they seem to only go after some higher profile ones or ones that may impede a new release (in their eyes). I'm definitely not saying that makes it right, but I'm also saying more nuance is needed when approaching this topic. As for Sega, let's not pretend they are letting Sonic fan-games exist out of the goodness of their hearts. The Sonic Mania situation was really great, but acting like Sega is some paragon of virtue when it comes to fans just isn't true. They have taken down fan-things before (just usually not Sonic). Yes, not as much as Nintendo, but let's not pretend Sega is more lienent for any other reason than Nintendo does the things detailed in this video (they're both big companies who want to profit in the long-term).

Nintendo only goes after fan games that wants money or donations to make it, which is highly illegal. A lot of people don’t understand that Nintendo doesn’t care or mind fan games, they just care if you are receiving donations for that project.

@@Traveler_of_the_Stars Source for the latter?

@@Unchainedful I think Gamefreak is a more pressing issue as most of what Nintendo is being accused of is 100% True with Gamefreak

Not wanting to defend Nintendo, but the quality of Nintendo games is much higher than Sega's. Sega basically needs any help they can get lol. Just look at the quality roller coaster that the Sonic games are.

It wouldnt have been but companies made it purposefully really hard to move digital copies of games, except steam, which is why PC is just where true gamers play

​@@lemonscentedgames3641steam was responsible for popularizing digital copies in the first place, it makes sense they have the best system given Newell's statement on piracy

It’s once again, technology being a double edge sword. Able to be used for good or bad. No longer do we have to worry about waiting forever to get a game we love on launch day because it’s continually sold out. It’s there for everyone at the exact same time. But it also gives companies the chance to do what was discussed in this video. I know my optimism is misplaced in this world of disgustingly rampant corporate greed. But things don’t have be this way in terms of the negativity. Ultimately it’s us as consumers that can change things.

Same thing for music. It condemn people to buy something that isn't their and will never be.

All this recent 'get comfortable not owning your games' crap is why I'm looking to buy some physical copies of games I enjoy; that way, when their digital marketplaces close and some publishers pull the games' licenses (looking at The Crew as prime example here), I'll still have a physical disc to pop in. Will I find discs for all the games I'm looking for? Maybe not, but I won't know until I at least check. As for my 3DS, I'm happy to hold onto it and play one of the various games I've got for that. Primarily physical copies, but some digital.

Based comment

People already say this shit when i tell them to emulate, they dont get that emulation is technically legal if you dump ur own roms, and that if u buy a copy of whatever game on ebay nintendo doesnt get a cent anyway

@@lemonscentedgames3641And yet they’d surely consider dumping more prohibitive than piracy, which doesn’t really help the issue. Even I can’t quite figure out how to dump gba games (not that that helps with the cartridges I’ve lost over the years).

@lemonscentedgames3641 but but but, muh nuntendoh nostalgia that costs $600 for a barely working cartridge of a terrible game

​@@David_the_Psalmist Google my friend, it teaches you everything you need to know. The real problem isn't with the know how, it's the confidence of the individual user to do it. I wasn't sure I could hack my PS2 to play games off of the DVD slot, now, I just jacked my 3 system

Also them staying full price forever does the opposite of negatively affecting the second hand market, the only reason it's been shrinking is because more purchases are made online

Yeah we should and need to do that. The justice is awesome and oh so sweet but hurts them like the bite of a crocodile. This is the globalist plot of “you will own nothing and be happy.” Masked evil words to make it seem good actually makes it far more sinister. These people think they own us. Well, time to show these goons who we really are. Don’t mess with customers. Look at what happened to “modern” Disney movies and shows as well as Bud Light. Protest and fight back with your wallets. I heard the streaming industry is starting to collapse. More and more people are not participating in their predatory practices and wokism. I also heard that stores are pulling DVDs and disks from their shelves. I think this is a way to fight us and force us to rent their stuff as they milk our wallets every month and year. I think this is also prof that they are starting to get desperate. These people are dishonest companies.

Guess this big time game companies haven't learned from their constituents~ "Always fear the general public"

I’d rather Nintendo at least, not to die, but to just in some sense realize this and become a better company for it

@@CallMeBackSamantha I dunno. Nintendo likely isn't ever going to learn. They've been this way even when good-guy Iwata who can do no wrong was still in charge. I say Nintendo is only useful for making quality games on a somewhat more frequent occasion than your average AAA company. Thing is, that's not impressive anymore thanks to the indie scene dumping out quality games every other week for less money. So really, Nintendo is completely useless in my eyes, and being useless in a consumer driven market should be a death sentence. It's only fair.

@@psycholuigiman I agree but also I’d rather not mario, Zelda, pokemon, etc etc, to leave because those are at least like, half of the games I play, and even if the games are hit or miss, they’ve still got hits, even if annoying for a variety of reasons.

Modding a game is legal as long as you don't use copyrighted code or don't release the mod. Doesn't matter if you release it non-commercially or commercially, if you use copyrighted material you can't release it. Even with a phyiscal copy you only buy a license, but the company has to make sure that you can keep on using that license, so I am actually not sure if it's even legal for them to shut the stores down.

@@cwega2463 Yeah exactly, like I got into retro gaming when I was 12 (born 2007). Like the first Retro game I played (that I pirated) was Mario Sunshine. Then as I got old I started collecting old Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U games that I would want to play as I have a Wii and Wii U to play them on.

Yeah, but you're an exception. You're a niche market that was probably giving them money anyways because people who like retro stuff often play the new stuff as well. People like us are a drop in the sand compared to normies.

And they're dead wrong. When I've tried following homebrew tutorials on youtube for my wii u or wii (vwii) that the person voicing over those tutorials were younger then me?!

Based, who said that

@@jeanremi8384 Tyler James Hill, apparently.

Ikr as life long fan for going on 20 years it’s really sad and infuriating!

i heard that microsoft paid devs to not make windows copys of their games so they could push the xbox. thats a huge amount of hate right there, look it up

You are LITERALLY on youtube bro.

@@LiftandCoa Care to clarify that?

​@@knivesron Not to mention that people with low PC specs can't get, for example, the original AoE1 nor AoE2 in their CD versions (expansions included), we really have to purchase the "Definitive Editions" of their products And even with the introduction of the Return to Rome DLC, people would prefer to pirate the CD AoE1 + Rise of Rome (not saying AoE2DE is bad, tho)

Once upon a time, I had a brother named luigi, and he only wore green.. You can truly only guess what happened to him after they took him (joke)

Disney sued over micky mouse on a orphanage wall iirc

Nintendo had police raids someone house for selling Pokémon doujins

They already did that multiple times. I don't think I have to remember how the pieces of shit knocked down Super Mario Royale, and then make a cheap copy port of EXACTLY the same thing. There are more but this is the most despicable.

@@nokrot you're referring to sm35 right? Whats worse is that they shut down that themselves less than a year l8r.

If you found a dinosaur bone scientists would steal it without compensation beacuse it's history Games are becoming young history

Sorry, but that is plain dumb. If you don’t like their new games, don’t play them. Stealing stuff for no other reason then you don’t like it or you are too poor doesn’t justify anything. In fact, now Nintendo has even more of a reason to shut down these services, because people like you steal their games despite not liking them. Once again, don’t play their new games. It’s not that hard. I haven’t bought Nintendo’s new trash in over a year, and I bet they would be furious if more people started to generally stop interacting with their new products.

That same logic justifies any kind of theft. Should I be allowed to steal a Lamborghini because I can't afford one? No. No I shouldn't, but that's the exact argument you make. You are not entitled to the labor of others. Especially not when it comes to a luxury/entertainment product.

@@jamesdinius7769 Aaah yes the well known form of theft “creating an exact duplicate of something you weren’t buying either way” piracy is by definition not theft, the logic doesn’t justify any kind of theft because the actual acts are fundamentally different. This is like saying an engineer is the same as a bank teller.

​@@jamesdinius7769my guy , that's not what they're implying and they explained it to you very detailed with everything tinsy detail Like are you dense?

​@@Takinu They're not "stealing" if said software is already updated in the internet and free for you to download, when the game already died because they're no longer selling it , quit your 🐂 💩

...DONT WORRY DUDE, SWITCH2 IS GONNA FALL, BECAUSE THEIR MANAGEMENT ISNT BETTER THAN SEGA'S WAS WHILE SATURN AND DREAMCAST WERE A THING .......BUT AT *LEAST* WE'LL GET A *_VITA 2_* , HEHE

I mean, Thats how the playstation was born

Nintendo fans are gamers worst enemy.

@@propheinx2250 real

Nintendo is stealing form it's self.

Mood.

Jabba the Hutt? Nah my friend. Nintendo the Hutt. Runs the Outer Gaming Rim with an iron fist it do.

and also the Happy Birthday Song

Outdated? Not entirely. Just needs some updates.

@@darkzeroprojects4245 I feel like needing updates could be seen as being outdated.

Blame Disney

It needs to mimic the Patent Laws or at least bridge the gap. If it wasn't for the lobbying of that mouse company, copyright law wouldn't be liftime ownerships and then some because their creator died years ago. The weird part is how Disney is re writing their own history with censorship and retconing. As progressive as they are, they sure like protecting Mr.Disney's IPs despite how much they (theoretically) hate him. Nevermind that most of the originals weren't even their stories. They themselves took the story, did a little modification, and sold it under their name as their own. With today's laws, Disney wouldn't even had got off the ground in the first place. They support and pass the laws that would have put them out of business. It's almoat like Lobbying should be illegal or something.....

not their discord server though!

@@nuclearstarr115what’s wrong with their discord?

Skyward sword hd was an instant pirate for me.

Its basically asking "is the price they are asking Fair or Reasonable, or too outlandish for justification" For an example. I think the vast majority of people would agree that buying: Super Mario Odyssey Super Mario Wonder Breath of the Wild Mario Maker 1 or 2 Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Animal Crossing New Leaf Pokemon Platinum Pikmin 3 Metroid Dread Just. Any Metroid Game other then Other M and that dumb reskin of a proto type for the 3DS Buying each of them at a Price Point of $60 is fair and reasonable for what they are asking of people. But then theres games like: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Pokemon Legends Arceus New Super Mario Brothers 2 & Wii U Deluxe Wario Ware Games Mario Strikers Battle League Club House 51 Games Pokemon Mystery Dungeons Rescue Team DX Captain Toads Treasure Tracker Yoshi's Crafted Wooly World Buying each of these are $60 would be based on prefrence. on the consumer but in a lot of cases It would be a hard sell for people as what they are getting isn't worth $60 most of the time. more around $40 imo And then theres: Pokemon Sword and Shield Mario Tennis Aces Paper Mario Sticker Star Paper Mario Color Splash Mario and Luigi Paper Jam Super Mario Party Mario Vs Donkey Kong Remake Nintendo Switch Sports Where You cannot justify buying these products at $60. Heck I think people wouldn't pay 20 Dollars for these games if they knew what buying them would give you. So you have to ask yourself the question I mentioned of "is the price they are asking Fair or Reasonable, or too outlandish for justification". If the Answer to that question is the latter. then you have to ask yourself "if you support/care/hate the company that the game is a part of" if the answer is Support then buy from the company itself, If its Care then I would say do the above with new games but pirate the old games that Nintendo isn't making money off of. and if its hate then Just have at it.

​@@tallyikroe2476to be fair you cannot giving fault of nintendo for the pokemon games the one who handle all the merchandise and of pokemon is PCT that is very indipendent to nintendo at this point pokemon its very much his own brand that is affiliated mostly by the mark with nintendo

I haven't decided yet if I should buy a Switch so I can buy this Japan-only third-party game to support the series and possibly show the company that there's fans outside Japan that would like an international release. But on the other hand, I don't want to keep supporting Nintendo and I don't see much of a point in buying a Switch just for this ONE game. ~Plus that game is a low-effort port.~ Every other Switch game I'm interested in I want to emulate instead. Oh well, I guess there won't be a Switch in this house after all.

Don't care. They work for the same company, under the same executives. Hitting their wallet is the only thing that'll bring them to heel. It is not possible to support the developers while also meaningfully harming the corperate

Not my point, but I get where you are coming from

​@@DugdoesDigging Exactly, I'm glad I'm not the only one that realized that as well. The problem is when people are blaming Nintendo as a whole, you're dragging in its developers and employees, considering the fact they have absolutely nothing to do with the DMCA legal team in Japan that makes those decisions.

No one is blaming the artists. But as artists, they should know that the future of video games as art is strictly indie. Working in Nintendo/Sony will soon become like being a session musician for a pop music corporation. The only thing that "holds" the fans from going strictly indie is certain IPs that we've loved when we were young (Then again, for example, as an old time Final Fantasy fan, I don't see any reason to get Final Fantasy VII Remake that craps on my love for turn based JRPGs, when I can get Chained Echoes which respects my intellect, and my hard earned money will support the work of an actual artist).

​@@Frustratedartist2 @izzyj.1079 says otherwise.

Greed completely consumed them over

@@Gn01717 sin tends to do that.

Yes I em new Nintendo for

And considering how shit Nintendo's security is, you know things weren't going well

What happened with Thousand Year Door?

I think what was more of a shock was the fact this game got a remake in spite of the state of the Paper Mario Games and Community (not saying Origami king is a bad game, I have never played it but it seems to be a good experience, The other 3 games are shit though)

Citra was more collateral damage

@@tallyikroe2476 Yeah they went for th4e switch emulator, and it just happened to also splatter onto killing citra

I mean, I'm a game collector. I try to go out of my way to get physical copies of games as often as possible. A lot of the stuff I complained about isn't even about me, I have literally every game I mentioned. But if companies are gonna shut shit down then piracy is the best option

@@ColeTheFactGuy Piracy has done more for the preservation of game legacy than any company could ever hope to achieve. If we can still play magical pop'n today, it's not thanks to nintendo.

I disagree. Proprietary platofrms are the spice of life. Otherwise everything would be too homogenized and lame.

@@wolfetteplays8894 I don't see how being proprietary helps creativity. Have you seen what some free and open source games could offer? Sure, no big budget, but creativity never required that.

​@@wolfetteplays8894Steam and gog are the only stores people actually use. Epic is just for fortnite/free games and any other storefronts like origin are practically dead in the water outside of being forced to use them for specific games. If storefronts had shared libraries then we could actually see some competition by providing better services like download speed, discounts, interface options, profile customization, etc.

I'm sure members of The Crew can still play their physical copy (they can't)
