Pointcrow's video • Nintendo is Taking Dow... This is the greatest common nintendo L of All Time Merch moistglobal.com/ I stream every day / moistcr1tikal
Ridiculous how companies like Nintendo and Disney have incredible, child friendly, nostalgic content and yet they come down on its own customers like the devil . Insane.
I can't say I agree. Most of Disney's content since the 50's (not counting Marvel or Star Wars media) is often poorly made, and at least Nintendo isn't involved in terrorist attacks or other ridiculous things like forcing the public domain laws to change. If they were, I'd lose my respect until new people are in charge.
It sounds like Sony Betamax all over again. i for one am done buying Nintendo products. Not because of anything any content creator has said; but because of how Nintendo has utterly lost its way. I think they would even; today; go after the creators of Game Geine. The original mod box that truly started it all. And you know where they would be? The same bin as Sega Saturn.
Well Nintendo has copyright struck themselves before. There was also the imposter Nintendo going around copystriking videos. I think the guy was in Japan and thus Nintendo went after him and asked the government to press charges against the guy. No idea what happened afterwards but if they went for it the guy is 99.9% in prison.
@@s0mguy777 he dead... but I am basing it off of Japan's prosecutorial sucess rate. It is very high because they only go for cases they know for sure they will win, even more so than in the US.
Honestly their games are okay. But it's better to stop buying them. Let Nintendo sink and it would be better for all gaming. If devs stopped making games for Nintendo we would all be better off.
@@JamieZero7 ...but many of us need new Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, etc. video games! How about letting Nintendo, *_itself,_* sink but keep the Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, etc. video game franchises alive there?
I feel like that that's just Nintendo fans in general. Sometimes I get so irritated at the company and will just start ranting and my family gets confused because I love these games and I usually reply with something along the lines of "I'm a fan of the games not the company."
"Nobody hates Nintendo fans more then Nintendo" is probably one of the most accurate statements on Nintendo. It's like they hate free advertisements and traction through word of mouth. Hopefully they get better in the future.
They won't in the near future and never will in the far future. Japanese companies will NEVER understand fair use and will ALWAYS believe their retarded laws from their island apply to the whole world. Over there there is no such thing as fair use. They would rather disappear the product entirely off the Internet and make it nearly impossible to purchase is legally if it means it cannot be distributed, even officially, on the Internet. For examples just look at some music for openings and endings for some anime. If for some reason the only version of it you can find is one where the sound is slightly wrong or it sounds slightly faster or slowed down, that's because that record company went nuclear with anyone uploading that music and refuses to upload official versions of it on the Internet. And if you would want to buy just that one tune to listen to it? Too bad either only in Japan or you have to buy the ENTIRE album with music you don't want to get it. And because of this they enable dodgy places to sell things like that because you know JAPAN LOGIC. If your RU-vid content is exclusively content from one Japanese company or you have content that comes from one here and there you have to always be ready for it to go NUCLEAR at random at any given time of They just so happen to change a CEO and that new guy is a complete clueless lunatic. Treat content from those companies as always live nuclear volcanos. How people haven't learned this already by now where every company from Japan has done shit like this and some like Nintendo have been repeat offenders with multiple counts, I will never understand.😮
@Jay Talents No bro. That's only them damaged hoes you been messing with that are more likely to love people that don't love them back. Yaknow. People with issues. Normal people don't love those that don't love them back.
@Jay Talents it's sad really, it's been a huge trend to get completetly attached to childhood games or movies and not see the absolute evil in the company. People just turn the blind eye because the games remind them of better times that they are for some reason unable to get now.
@@moonlightmando7163 you are correct and they missed out on a billion dollars of good will because of it. Like you’d think the smart pr move would be to allow that instead of shooting themselves in the foot.
@@st8ofmind325 I don't understand why they would want to lose out of goodwill and free marketing, it's a fucking grave, not a fucking indie comicbook stall...
I know the exact reason they gave him 2 strikes. I recently learned that if you get a strike on your channel and appeal it but lose, you can get ANOTHER strike for “lying”, which would make that strike 3 on his channel and it would get him banned. It’s a scare tactic to keep people from making appeals. MXR Plays and TwoSetViolin are some classic examples and explained it in a few videos.
This is like buying a copy of the Monopoly board game and making your own house rules to play the game your own way. Then, Hasbro kicks in your door and throws your living room table out the window and sets it on fire.
Nintendo Lawyer: You are illegally profiting off of the sale of our copyrighted material and we demand you stop immediately! Clerk: Sir, this is a Best Buy...
I respect their hustle. Their sustainable model doesn’t care about your advertising, and you are profiting off of their copyrighted material. Quality products sell themselves. Accidentally play a song in the background of your videogame stream and you get pulled down? Copyright is real, American companies like the advertising because they produce call of duty and madden. Nintendo is different.
Pirating Nintendo games is ethically right. Not only are they the only company that still keeps all their games locked on an archaic console at 30 fps, but they are goobers who don't deserve to be supported.
i still remember the time where nintendo asked people on twitter whats their favourite music produced by them and all responses where shown with copyright struck videos
@@incurableraven4960 scummy? The people doing that were scummy? Nah, with the attitude Nintendo has shown their devout fans of their games like how Charlie said it almost like they hate us, they deserved that, let it get under their skin and bother them because they deserve that kind of disrespect being thrown at them, especially with Nintendo putting people's livelihoods in jeopardy for such small things. So this is really what they had coming to them as pushback from the people they owe their success to.
@@joel3683I think raven meant Nintendo was scummy, likely understood the situation as “hey show us where people uploaded our music so we can copyright strike them”
SEGA loves when people mod their content and happily accepted ocs in their game Sonic Forces. There was also a case where SEGA personally stepped in and took down a Sonic game because the owner was a pedo, never touched any other game just that one. Don't lump SEGA in with the dumpster fire that is Nintendo.
Ummmm excuse me? Saying that only japanese companies refuse to learn how to use the internet seems a little racist to me, are you saying that only because they're japanese they have no mental capacity to learn how to use the internet? Lmao ok bigot
They really do hate it. It's such a shame! Because if they took even a second to look at something like Minecraft, they'd realize just how successful free advertising can be lol
RU-vid allows companies to abuse its system because they're fed up being sued for billions of dollars in lawsuits so they just said fk it. So now they just sit behind DMCA safe harbor laws and say "if you have a problem with your strikes, take them to court" well I want to start seeing them dragged into court.
It's either this or no youtube. The moment youtube has an opinion on copyright, they are responsible for every single copyright violation on the platform.
@@Veetiful Or they could remove the strike/claim system entirely and force these companies to have to contact the creators directly, and go through normal legal channels.
True, the fact that like anyone can come in and copyright strike videos at any time for any reason is stupid. There should b some like reasonable safeguard in place that goes actually this doesnt break your copyright. Heck it even complies to ur own terms of service
They knew perfectly well what they were doing with that double-strike. That's such a messed up way to imply Crow's on thin ice with them, like.... ANYTHING could take him out from that point on. This is all just... so messed up.
Fun fact: Back in the Wii U days, when I had an active channel, I got contacted by Nintendo Switzerland about a partnership. They'd send me a Wii U console with two games to advertise in RU-vid videos. A week after posting the first video, it was striked by Nintendo. Once I got back to Nintendo Switzerland they told me that there was nothing they could do. So I basically got a Nintendo Wii U for free 🤣
@@flamedramon68 I can't tell if this is bait because it literally takes two seconds to see the 1.9k subs or you're just too lazy to click on someone's channel xD
For a company that single handedly saved the gaming industry in the 80’s, you’d think they’d be ahead of the industry… but no. They’re decades behind everyone else
Well, they are still one of the most successful gaming companies in history and the most cash infused gaming company in Japan so until that changes, they are going to keep doing what they have been doing.
Because "photos allowed" to them means "photos to be displayed in this museum are allowed to be on display in this _art_ museum", in other words, an ambiguous "photos allowed"
No it's like if they said "cameras allowed but do not draw on the paintings" and then you draw on one of the paintings and take pictures and then take pictures of a bunch of other things too, and then they come and take your camera and you cry because "not all of your pictures were of paintings you drew on". This guy's an idiot and he knew how careful Nintendo is with modded content and anybody interested can look into their past and why they need to be so careful with copyright laws
One of the main reasons minecraft is the highest selling game of all time is because they actively incourage and display mods. They even hire mod creators because they know that those people the their biggest fans and provide as much enjoyment to people as the game does by itself. Mc even goes a step further and makes it easier for us to mod their game.
@@sollertiskhan3254 Nintendo is successful because they're a console creator and they make multiple unique games that are only playable on their consoles. If they adopted the technique of embracing the community rather than treating them only as end-users, I think they'd benefit a lot.
@@mariustan9275 he played mods. He didnt make or distribute them. He just played them, and almost got his channel deleted, which is his job, so that would have been horrible
to be fair, i don’t even consider FNAF security breach to be a horror game at all. it’s a poorly-optimized “walk around and do various things for the sake of doing various things” simulator that just so happens to use a few characters from older FNAF games. the only thing even remotely creepy in that game was the weeping angel endoskeletons in the basement, and even then that’s quite tame compared to some horror games. there’s even FNAF fan games and fan-created content that do a much better job of being “scary” than FNAF SB.
0:47 cat jump scare, man the craziest things can happen with moist critical like that one vid of him jumpscaring or doing nothing for a few seconds at the start of the video
from what i’ve heard the NOA in-house members are treated well, but outsourced/contracted devs get shafted. there’s some articles online about this if you’re interested. dunno about NOJ but I imagine it’s probably similar.
Nintendo: We don’t understand why people keep pirating our games. Also Nintendo: We don’t encourage any online content whatsoever and will go after anyone who even shares a blurry image of our products! Nintendo: We still don’t understand why people prefer to pirate our games instead of buying them. We’re so nice.
As Gaben said, "piracy is a service issue." Nintendo makes it such a pain in the fucking ass to play their older games, especially Virtual Console games, that piracy is way more appealing. Nobody wants to buy every retro game again when a new Nintendo console comes out.
@@CrizzyEyes you cant even buy them anymore, you just borrow them netflix style by paying for what is literally and i do mean literally THE worst online service to ever exist (its 2023 and all their shit is still peer to peer with crap netcode and the lowest tickrates on any multiplayer games)
Honestly, I think when games are not being officialy sold anymore for a set amount of years, they should be free game (excuse my pun). This puts the people who made them in a spot where they either provide them for sale if they care, or allow all the people to enjoy them for free if they don't care.
More often then you think, sadly enough. This is HARDLY the first time they alone have done this, and it has been a thing in every medium of art, work, and religion since the Dawn of man. It’s why we use the term “Never meet your heroes” because most of the time, you are going to get disappointed
@@azurequill3851 bro pulling out religion and work out of the blue. This is just bad corporate behavior, that appeared in the XX age. It isnt that deep lmao
lol well theres a difference between enjoying a game and making money off somebody's product. Probably all this is cause of the new release and so that people wont monetize its gameplay. Its super greedy but also eh it is their product anyways. Its not like we dont know where they stand on people making money off their ip. You want the content you buy the game. Maybe nintendo should lease rights to stream cause streamers are free marketing. okay upon watching a bit of pc's vid its dumb if he followed their guidelines. Extra greedy. But alas...point stands.
7:55 For years the Pokemon Community has suffered from shit like this, yes we enjoy the vanilla base game of Firered but some of the mods and Romhacks that have come out are amazing.
The reason they are so protective of their ip is because of what happened between them with donkey kong and king cong when the company was young. tldr: the owners of king kong sued nintendo to get a piece of the donkey kong pie and they ended up losing the rights to king kong, seeing this massive company lose a big ip like king cong due to donkey kong basically scared nintendo for life and scares them into being SUPER protective of their ips in order to keep anything like that from happening to them. its fucked up ofc but there is a reason
Well, that's the thing. The concept of King Kong isn't owned, he was in the public domain. However, the film rights was separated in two during the creation of a King Kong movie in 1974: Universal and Paramount. Universal wanted to make their own Kong film and because Paramount had the right, they proved in court that King Kong was meant to be in the public domain due to the novelization of the 1933 original movie. They did win that suit, though four years after the 1976 movie released, they tried to sue Nintendo because their Donkey Kong "looked like" King Kong. Needless to say, Universal lost that suit when Nintendo used the 1970's suit to show that their argument was invalid.
@justingovas415 Not really. There's more stuff too. Pokemon and Mario are some of the biggest grossing franchises, heck Pokemon is THE largest. It beats our Mickey Mouse. And despite owning these, they don' have the same level of capital like Microsoft or Disney to defend their IPs if they get lost. Imagine it like this: a Japanese immigrants has just arrived in America. He's new, speaks decent English and can run his small store and make a decent profit. He faces some challenges running it and some racism but overall manages. Then one day it's discovered the land he owns is on top of an enormous oil reserve, worth millions maybe billions of dollars. Word gets out and suddenly much larger companies start showing up, trying to get the immigrant to sign over his land in some scam deal because he is unfamiliar with English. The immigrants fiercely defends his ownership but has nowhere near the corporate power of all these giants, and a bunch of smaller companies and people are trying to get a piece of the pie too. Suddenly aome of the immigrants own neighbour's start trying to take his cash. This is essentially Nintendo's position. They have some of the world's most valuable IPs, and other larger and smaller companies are constantly trying to find some mistake to exploit to take their IPs. They constantly have to be defensive about what they do in case they lose the thing that keeps them relevant. Like, Microsoft is not only a gaming company behind Xbox but also a general computer company that makes things lots Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Disney has been in this industry for much longer than Nintendo has. Despite how bug Nintendo is, other companies are much bigger.
Charlie getting jumpscared by his cat is fantastic bc back in the day his whole thing was playing horror games with absolutely no scare reaction whatsoever
Nope its more like: 'Buy our games and have fun THE WAY WE THINK ITS PROPER...oh...and dont share it in the internet...or we sue you...btw, buy 3 Switch in diferent collors too...and Pokemon games that are shit filled with bugs...ignore the problems! We are family safe and friendly!'
@@Microwave_Dave "then" is still perfectly acceptable in the confines of the sentence. Some people also use both terms interchangeable for some reason.
@@Sir.Slayer It actually is incorrect, grammatically speaking, but f*ck people who scroll through the comments just to correct people on their grammar. It is a RU-vid comment, not an essay.
Nintendo punishing Pointcrow for enjoying their games is the equivalent of Disney suing a family for putting Spider-man on their deceased child's grave
That's actually a real thing, but with Winnie the Pooh instead... _(no, i'm not kidding it's a real case and that's the part that i can only perceive as frightening, it's not even the worst thing they've ever done, that's just a tip on this ''Dark Company Rabbit Hole'' that it goes on and on the more you dug in)_
@@livingdeadzombae no the thing is Disney actually sued a family for putting Spider-Man on their sons grave. Showing that they truly have no empathy for their fans similar to what Nintendo is doing.
@@milesedgeworth_prosecuter it’s a policy walt disney himself literally made (im not saying i condone it) but its not a comparable situation and he wasn’t sued. he was told he couldnt make a headstone with spiderman on it. you guys don’t know the full story and yall get so happy to tell something wrong abt something so old. it’s not comparable find a different analogy instead of fucking a dead kid to an animated game (edit: mind you the boy was a toddler it’s literally sickening you guys think a life is comparable to a small amount of videos)
@@milesedgeworth_prosecuter the thing is actually 🤓 like thank u i needed you to restate the original comment that i replied to. absolutely was so necessary
There was a very old Mario letsplayer in the Y2K era of RU-vid. Just some honest to goodness guy trying to play games, he released 3-4 hour passion projects doing nothing more then slamming over and over how much he loved their products. His name was lost to time and memory, but JUST after he hit 500K (huge deal back then) they had threatened to sue him for the fact he had ad services in his video. Had a huge teary eye “goodbye” message the day before his deadline to delete his channel, only for it to be the only copyright struck video he ever had, so they censored a guy’s explanation of why they were taking him down.
At this point, anyone who has suffered financial loss due to nintendo flagging FAIR USE content need to band together to form a class action lawsuit against them. They need to be taught a lesson + it would create precedent!!!
The best legal team in the world can only go so far. I can’t imagine how they would go about twisting the situation in order to justify their behavior. If this isn’t considered fair use, what is? There are bound to be plenty of precedences that would make ruling in favor of Nintendo impossible.
It must be scary for point crow and other content creators who focus on nintendo, in a blink of a eye they could just lose their whole caraer for nothing.
I used to like PointCrow until he had that silly spat with Smallant1 of which I believe he is in the wrong and I don't think he's apologized for it yet
Nintendo is the Disney of the video game industry. I'm surprised they haven't sued a daycare for using Mario wallpaper yet. (Which is literally something Disney did some time ago, they sued a daycare for using official Mickey Mouse wallpaper that was bought from a Disney theme park.)
cause charlies content is mainly nintendo. if pointcrow says one more thing to piss them off they could even sue him or take doen his all income just for the lolz
pay attention to pointcrow's situation here, hes been checkmate'd by nintendo , and all it takes is for pointcrow to say something mild for nintendo to put his carrer out of its misery.
Never forget that Nintendo's official stance is that Pokemon Nuzlockes are the exact same as piracy. Using a self-imposed ruleset in an unmodified copy of the game purchased at their retail stores is considered illegal.
@@TheFuriousNightFury Content creators on the official Pokemon channel suggested doing a nuzlocke playthrough and the official response they were given wasa hard no and specifically that nuzlockes are considered the same as piracy.
they should literally be paying people to play their games the way that some of these youtube gamers do. why are there not certified nintendo pros that get paid to play and advertise the games?
Actually, yeah, doesn't Nintendo have a "treehouse series" (or something like that) where people play their games? That would add onto Nintendo's ignorance even more..
There shouldn’t because they haven’t done anything wrong and public outcry over a company justly protecting their IP should not penalize the company from the smooth brain masses
i mean, its not abuse. they legally can do it. and even if it was, youtube wouldnt be able to punish it, it would have to be in a court of law (like with H3H3 or similar cases)
PointCrow has made a point IN STREAMS to state that he doesn't give out instructions on how to mod the game or where to source mods from specifically because it could be seen as him encouraging it by Nintendo, he's been as careful as he can and puts so much heart into his videos. You can see the insane amount of love he has for this game.
@@manthacake7881 modded Zelda is something you play on a pc. Zelda on pc is free. In a way he’s marketing the pirating of the game. You gotta look at it from Nintendo’s standpoint.

@@fabiol.720 PointCrow does say in his video that he can't afford to incase he loses as it basically ruins his life along with everyone that helps out with his channels. He is just extremely nervous about doing it and I don't blame him.
@@That0Homeless0Guy youtube shouldnt allow a single company to file more than 1 strike at a time imo, idk how that's not standard policy if it's possible to bundle multiple videos into one strike anyway
It still pisses me off that Nintendo refuses to release any of their music, but then also gets mad when people download it illegally.....like what am I supposed to do?
What they want you to do is access the music only through their official pipeline, which is buying their games. Then, and only then, can you hear their music.
I think Nintendo started putting music on RU-vid, cashing in over the channels they shut down. Edit: I might be wrong but I swear I saw them upload it somewhere.
I always thought Nintendo was stingy with their own IP. It’s so stupid how they discontinue various older services, like the Wii shop and the Network the WiiU and 3DS ran on. It really pisses me off they got rid of the multiplayer Mario 30 game.
@@MizuGaming The relevant authority is The United States, but even so your point is wrong. Japan has a number of laws that allow you to use copyright works in ways that could be interpreted as "fair use".
fair use is only good with premission and if the owner says no you can't use it. hacking a game to mod it is not allowed, in japan he would be in prison.
A lot of Japanese media companies see modification of a game or movie or series or whatever in any way (or even just enjoying content in the "wrong" way) to be offensive and disrespectful to the people who made it. They're wrong, but that seems to be the source of their intense, vicious hatred of people who like fun.
The ironic thing is that they're probably the same people who scream bloody murder when people demand they follow their countries law. For instance credit cark companies going after things like Pixiv.
Apparently, according to PointCrow himself in his tweet, the copyright strikes (4 of them) were by Nintendo Japan while the copyright claim (multiple) were by Nintendo America.
Considering these are the same people who think something simple as tipping a server at a restaurant is disrespectful, this really shouldn’t be surprising. Edit: Not sure why people think I’m “an American for thinking that it’s silly to not tip someone.” I never once said it was normal to tip someone, I just find it a little odd that tipping someone is disrespectful especially since you’re basically giving them money for doing a good job. Also not sure why people think I’m an American in the first place.
@@ShockInazuma tbf I’m pretty sure they have a living wage and don’t need to rely on tips like some other countries. I could be wrong though, probably am.
The way nintendo runs their company is honestly so confusing to me sometimes because they will take down videos of unmodified gameplay, but other bigger channels will be using an emulator to run their games (meaning you don't need any nintendo merchandise to play their games) and nintendo will do nothing about it.
There's so much genuine filth on this platform that kids could watch-- PointCrowe is genuinely one of the wholesome video game content creators. The fact that Nintendo/RU-vid go after him is honestly giving me second hand embarrassment.
@@leonardo.diCATio actually i hate nintendo, i go out of my way to pirate games i already own. im not defending nintendo, i dont want to be known as that because the switch is garbage. i just want the truth to be known. The reason so many lawsuits are filed by "nintendo" is because their lawyers are so out of touch with reality they dont know what they are talking about.
Reminds me of some of the interviews with Nintendo of America staff, where they talk about speaking with the Japanese Executives, that they simply do not play or even look at other game companies. Like they were talking about improving the online aspects of Nintendo to be more like Xbox Live or Playstation Network, and the Japanese Nintendo executives had never heard of those. They end the interview by saying Nintendo is about 20 years behind every other competitor when it comes to online aspects.
Weirdly the only thing I can think of similar to what Nintendo did to fan videos is when Games Workshop changed it's policy for fan-made content from malleable allowance oh fan content to a strict no fan made animated content and then allowing some animators to continue there works on Warhammer Community, but even then they didn't strike down any videos like Bruva Alfabusa's What if the Emperor had a Text-To-Speech device series, now they just can't continue making them
