Gonna be very funny to see "it's within their legal right" comments pop up, when the first lawsuit of this video said it was within Blockbuster's legal right to rent out computer software until multiple companies (including Nintendo) lobbied to have that right taken away.
Another UA-cam one that just happened this year: they went after Russ (Retro Game Corps) by hitting him with two channel violations for simply playing Wii U games on the emulation devices he was reviewing, meaning for the last few months, he's been one more violation away from having his channel totally terminated, so he stopped playing Nintendo games on screen. He's one of the last guys on this site that deserves something like that.
What they did with AM2R was one of the worst things I've ever seen from them. 10 years of hard work by a loving fan who did it without getting paid, providing a great piece of content to a starving fanbase that were willing to shell out. They could've hired him or at least bought the rights--but no, they shut it down. It was pointlessly cruel and damaged both the fandom's already-broken trust in them and undercut their attempts to get it back with Samus Returns, Dread, and Prime Remastered. And then they wondered why Metroid fans never trusted them again.
Watch, when the old guard dies off, Nintendo will offer a robust digital service for preservation (compare with Steam and GOG) and recognize the benefit of fan-made works. It's so obviously good that Nintendo will be slow to adopt it, but they will. Only because the new who'd come in have the chance to have heard arguments like these.
Pokemon really ought to not be included in the evidence for 'quality games' from Nintendo. Pokemon hasn't been a quality product since the DS days. Every game since the move to the 3ds and later the Switch has been riddled with cut content, bad performance, and soulless models. They even cut entire games. They used to put out a 'director's cut' game after each generation, and they have stopped that in favor of DLC which pales in comparison. The games I'm referring to are Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, and BW2. We were supposed to get Z, and they scrapped it. Ultra Sun and Moon were almost this idea, but in reality were more of what the original Sun and Moon games SHOULD have been in the first place without being rushed.
to this day, if Nintendo simply released a digital storefront on PC for their old roms, and just released an official emulator and said "We don't authorize you to copy other games to play on our emulator." And just left it at that to wipe their hands clean. They would be as big as Steam. But no, their business is full of stuck up old people who can't figure out their own legacy.
Palworld just got an update that removes the pal sphere animation, and now pals just pop up right next yo you. So it looks like Nintendo might win, or at least set a precedent for winning. Not good for small devs.
@@LynnHermione funny coming from the deviant art fan art creator. your other comment too is funny, remembering how much nintendo and disney went after fan art works too and how much artists have fought to just be able to do that. you can morally slob their knobs only when you stop bordering that territory yourself, abusing and exploiting laws for the sake of getting more money is scummy when stomping on the love and good will of people who only wanna express that, and just because something is lawful does not make it moral.
You can tell who hasn’t watched the video before commenting. Saying Nintendo has to behave this way because of its obligation to shareholders and copyrights when less than 20 minutes in that gets debunked. How many times have people created Goku in a non dragon ball game. But here comes overzealous Nintendo crying about Mario in Dreams. F them and their overpriced games lol
Also, getting a compulsory license to cover a song is pretty easy and there’s nothing Nintendo would be able to do to stop it. But you’d have to register the song, which might be an issue if it only exists as a UA-cam video
Nintendo seems to be a really evil company that made some good games. I refuse to believe that the ones who make the games are the same who hinders the games. (Those people probably got fired if they spoke up.) Nowadays, Nintendo is known for their hate of games and not their love of games.
3:32 THIS IS NOT HOW THE LAW WORKS. Copyright needs to be defended, legally, or it is lost. If you do cr infringement publically they HAVE to sue or others can claim the cr is abandoned. Yall going "but they are such MEANIES theyre Boolying us" is a childish mindset Stop doing cr infringement in public 💁♀️
Copyright Protection is a selective process. Trademark has to be defended consistently, copyright does not. This video is an hour and a half long. You're citing a moment 3 minutes and 32 seconds in, when if you'd watched a mere four more minutes, you'd have heard the part where he says he's not arguing that they can't legally do it, but that they should seek other options than destructive and hostile litigation.
If that was true then Nintendo would have lost their copyright a LONG time ago simply because so many people have pirated there games over the years. Its a bit more complicated then that.

almost like laws are not morals, etc etc
IKR? People like to act like legality is the end all be all of the discussion without realizing that its more nuanced then that.
exactly. its the same thing with disney, the rich pay 10 dollars to law makers so they don't lose 20 dollars to someone else

The shutdown of the etika joycons was absolutely vile. It's insane people forgot and let them get away with that.
As I will always say: Just because you have the right to do something that does not necessarily make it the right thing to do.

Your channel is an absolute gem and so severely underrated. I hope you get the attention you deserve. Absolutely love all your work!
It seems like the Universal lawsuit made them protective of their IPs to a fault.

Honey wake up! New mild conviction vid has dropped
Ooh I got a dog to watch but im stickin a pin in this
Friendly reminder that Nintendo started as a playing card company and very likely has been in bed with the yakuza ever since their start.

That whole suit was a lesson in patent trolling, and man it just highlights how fucked the patent system is.

That game used ai to steal pokemons designs. They deserve to be shut down

@@LynnHermione Except they literally never did that lol.
This video is amazing, i liked and subscribed
Nintendo continuing to operate their copyright like it's the 90s just goes to show the mentality (and age) of the people in charge.
thank you for everything
Always appreciate people calling out Nintendo, one of the many reasons to love this channel.
"And then of course Nintendo found out about it and took it down" summarizes the whole video lol
