2:41 Yeah that would do it. To quote the former Chief Lawyer for the Pokemon company "...the worst thing on earth is when your "fan" project gets press, because now I know about you."
god that guy was so annoying in his interviews. "We don't want to take down fan projects, but we're also one of the only companies to do it to this extent. Also my finest achievement was catching a child over data mining."
please post that quote to every single fan project en mass, so these potential great games don't get destroyed on launch because the devs, AGAIN, think they can just make anything and not get in trouble. we can sneak past nintendo if we stop being so dang obvious about it.
@@MrHocotateFreight *sneak past TPC Nintendo isn't particularly aggressive toward fan projects so long as they don't directly compete with an official product that's still officially available in some way or about to be released. TPC are the ones highly aggressive toward fan projects. Nintendo and TPC aren't the same company. Nintendo is 1/3 holder of TPC, the other 2/3 being Creatures Inc and Gamefreak. Considering Nintendo otherwise not being nearly as aggressive, it's safe to say that Gamefreak and Creatures Inc are the ones that hate fan projects. It would be nice if people would educate themselves on this, as the information is very easily accessible, and stop attributing every action of TPC to Nintendo.
@@Sin_Alder Nope, it is definitely not only Gamefreak and the Pokemon Company that are like that it is Nintendo as a whole. I'm not sure how anyone at this point is unaware of all the projects Nintendo themselves have taken down. They even went far enough to go beyond full games and hacks, and go after content on the steam workshop making it be removed, and prohibiting any more being added.
Yup. Thing is, Nintendo has to defend trademarks. Granted, if no money changes hands, apparently they CAN choose to ignore it, but UA-cam videos tend to be monetized, and so … yeah. The issue is, Nintendo is HIGHLY litigious.
The painted on "bikini" on the model is something that I learned from an industry veteran who taught 3D modelling. It is indeed a last-resort-fail-safe for when either the assets that are supposed to cover the body won't load or if the model stretches out through the assets from glitches or faulty animation. Anyway, here's a strange story: When I went to bed 9 hours ago, I put my PC into standby. When I got up and woke my PC up, the tab with this video was already open. However, the video was uploaded only 4 hours ago. Truthfully, I'm just a _liiiittle_ bit scared.
More like people keep pushing the limits of what is considered fair use and now companies are forced to take action, less they want their IPs to devalue.
@@DogsRNice See, the difference is, big tech companies MAKE money when AI does it. When a fan game releases, they see it as LOSING money(time spent playing a fangame is time NOT spent buying new games/microtransactions). While this is totally stupid, it's how they justify attacking free projects, and unfortunately unless we get some copyright reform that's not gonna change.
The failsafe is interesting because The Elder Scrolls Oblivion actually got re-rated to M partially over a glitch that let you unequip the “nothing equipped” clothes in its 1.0 version. Granted that was also right after the Hot Coffee incident, and I don’t think the ESRB would throw the book at Nintendo, but it’s probably a smart idea to have an extra failsafe.
Not even just the ESRB. There are lots of beurocratic organizations that police content in entertainment worldwide. Sometimes, it's easier just to have a "one size fits all" solution. Like permanent underwear.
The PC version of Oblivion on disc didn't even HAVE the never-nude baked in. Imagine my surprise when I was removing everyone's clothes in the Bruma Castle and my father walked in on the Countess without pants.
For PC games that could run with buggy hardware or drivers this is actually much more important than on consoles. Back then at university we had the fun issue that the newly installed machines with Nvidia Quattro GPUs and Windows Vista's builtin driver for the GPU had counterstrike run with permanently flickering walls - which got popular among students as "wow, these machines have undetectable wallhack". After a few weeks they of course installed the proper drivers by Nvidia, and the cheating fun ended ;) Definitely do not want such a driver glitch show player models nude on screenshots... that will end badly... so better avoid too "salacious" details on the models, and "censor" the skin textures just in case (the latter does not even cost any performance, it is just different colors, kinda more like body paint than clothes).
They could indeed have made these parts of the models empty - either by simply not having geometry there (that would reduce fillrate but may increase polycount and hurt fps), or by using transparency on the texture (not sure if that is an option in their shaders). However I have never seen any game cut player models into parts like that. Textured-on clothes are much more common, also because this is what literally all games without configurable clothing do. IMHO Nintendo should have printed a phone number on that part of the texture and asked the caller to say "aardwolf" after calling that number, as a way to gauge if this is ever seen ;)

@@Kass686 nope it's perjury as you swear under oath on the form. just UA-cam aren't going to report you to the authorities for it unless it's an extreme case
I think we're so used to UA-camrs abusing the system now that we forget that the DMCA system is in place to help genuine companies who want to protect their work. This is not a case of one UA-camr striking another for making a critique video, this is a case of a company who owns the copyright to one of their games not liking how said game is being portrayed in a video, and taking action. Nintendo owns the copyright to ACNH, it's well within their rights for them to take down videos/send cease and desist letters involving the game if they don't agree with how it's being portrayed. Nintendo does have a history of doing things like this, and it does suck, but it is still well within their rights, as they own the copyright to their games.
They actually can since ACNH is from a Japanese company, and there is no fair use so if they dont like what your doing with their properties they can legally say i want this taken down cause i dont like what you said
As unfortunate as it is that the video was taken down, it’s very cool that you got it back and haven’t had any issues with the video since. I think it was probably just a case of Nintendo taking action to cover their bases in case someone else did something that was similar, but more damaging to their brand.
Hi! I’m one of those fans who hasn't seen your other channel yet. I think your theory is spot on! Anything that seems too "edgy" definitely catches their attention. It’s great they didn’t choose to dispute things or spend the time doing so anyway! P.S. At 3:46, you said "doo-doo."
Nintendo definitely makes decisions based on what their perceptions of things are rather than the actuality. I used to work as a developer at a game studio that worked on a DS game, and I mentioned that on my blog. One of the DS hacking sites then linked to my blog as a “DS developer with loose lips,” and Nintendo came across that link, scoured my entire website for any evidence that I was sharing Nintendo proprietary information, found “fourteen pages of code” (on my programming blog, which otherwise had nothing to do with the DS), then informed my studio that this was a problem for them. Before I knew it I was fired for NDA violations, not because of anything that I did, but because of the perception that Nintendo had of it. (Fortunately for me I was trying to work up the nerve to quit from that terrible studio anyway and the timing worked out really well for me, but it’s still an example of Nintendo potentially ruining lives over their perception of a thing once it gets too visible in the wrong way.)
First, the word "nude" calls attention right away, especially in some contexts, to a lot of people. Second, they probably want people to not even call attention to it at all? Weird, but it fits Nintendo, to me. Especially the older guys there.
That's what I thought too. But then when he read it out to me, they said that the character is A never nude. The fact that that's the title and he didn't mention it being a typo or anything made me look it up. Apparently it's a term for someone who has gymnophobia, or who is pathologically afraid of being nude and always has clothes on. I don't think that's a different enough context to change the question though, so it's still a bit weird IMO...

@@MrMeme6484 They're "games journalists". The kind that have promoted and supported every single thing that's wrong in the gaming industry for the last 10+ years.
Typical Nintendo though, unfortunately. It's why so many content creators for a long while there wouldn't even play their games, because Nintendo tends to take things too far when they get in a mood about "protecting their IP", and a lot of people get caught in the crossfire.
1:00 Over the years my opinion of the company has only dropped further and further. It feels like they have a meter on the wall in Nintendo HQ telling them how much good will they have in their fan base, and if the meter gets too high they go out and axe a couple fan projects, shut down tournaments, or send private investigators to people's doors to tell them "We clearly know where you live, we know where you work, we have all of your phone numbers and email addresses, and we have all of the same information on your S.O. and your immediate family. With all of that said, Nintendo wants you to stop making emulation happen". At this point, fuck nintendo.
"No one likes suing fans", the article says, but not every company is as litigious about these things as Nintendo is. Nintendo won't sue the fans, as long as the only thing they're doing is playing the game. If they catch you doing anything more than that, all bets are off. Fan generated content is fan generated content, and nobody in their right mind is going to associate that with Nintendo the company.
you know what would be cool if nintendo was like "we see this is popular, this boundry break stuff, let's give you the tools to actually work the camera without having to jerryrig something". it would be cool if Nintendo had someone on staff that could jump on the videos with you and show you even more hidden stuff. you are coming at the game from the user side, imagine seeing the game from the development side. Who knows there might be more stuff hidden outside the maps of nintendo games. HECK imagine if they put the videos as easter eggs in future games. just a set of random ideas.
The N company has never been known for playing nice. There was a trade show back in the 80s where a company was showing off their (licensed) DK port to home computers. This was before N had their FamilyComputer. The N executive, in front of the whole crowd, started shouting at the developers about "Why is there DK on a computer not made by x?! Delete this and scrap this whole project!". As the N executive was walking away, they elaborated to another company's exec about how you have to "put some of these people in their place". I'm largely paraphrasing here.
Well not only does Kotaku also have lawyers, but it seems stupid if they want to scrub the never-nude from existence why keep evidence of it up even Splatoon 1 (maybe 2 and 3) had very rudimentary never-nude models, and there was once very easy glitch to activate them
I mean, why even make the underwear layer? If the tank top and shorts are never supposed to come off, make that the base model. In that case, if that were to be removed, the character would just be a floating head & arms.
Because in a game where clothes can be changed, you want to keep the option up to easily add in clothing items that may show a bit of skin. If the tank top would be a part of the normal character model, this would mean you can't do things like V-Cut shirts or clothes with an open midriff without swapping the whole upper body of the model. This would also mean that a part of the skin would need to be attached to the clothing models, which would lead to more instructions for recoloring the skin parts. Having a character you can easily recolor the entire skin in one line of code, but you'd have to do it maybe 2 or 3 times per player on screen for every clothing piece that may expose more skin than the default tank top and shorts option. Doesn't sound like a lot, but the Switch isn't the strongest console out there and it is never wrong to optimize where you can even besides that. The fail safe isn't there for anyone trying to remove these clothing pieces on purpose (at least not exclusively) but rather for any bug/glitch related issues. May it be loading issues or clipping issues for example. The latter would also be more likely to occur with the slightly 3D underwear, instead of the bare skin.
So from what im understanding, the entire issue seems to be Kotaku not bei g able to keep their mouths shut, which then results in someone else essentially having to take the fall for them
I think the issue is that Nintendo, as a Japanese company, tends to forget that other countries play by different rules. Things that are legal and accepted corporate practices in Japan are not so cut-and-dried. Console modding, for example, is legal in the US - though if you use those mods to commit piracy that's a different thing - but in recent years has been made flat-out illegal in Japan. And they also forget that western audiences in general and Americans in particular are even more likely to do something if you repeatedly tell them not to. We're just awesome like that, but it leads to a fair bit of corporate and cultural friction between the company and the fanbase.
It feels like Nintendo really couldn’t care less until there are eyes on it, it was fine until kotaku said “hey look at what this guy did” pretty sure the same thing happened with breath of the wild mod videos, it was fine till “journalists” caught wind
I've seen a couple episodes of Boundary Break, and have of them looked like they had to be fake while others looked like they were legitimate behind the scenes. Are these all supposed to be real, or do you basically spoof your own content sometimes? Looking up the video again, I think the first "Boundary Break" episode I saw was the "More Super Mario Bros" video that turns out was an April 1st video, thus intentionally fake because April Fool's, but can't remember the other one's to tell if they could have been as well.
Mario and Link(BotW): “Naked”, wearing shorts and nipples for all to see.😂 Animal Crossing: All clothes removed to show baked-on failsafe on naked body.😤🤔 Nintendo: 😡👿
Probably should have taken a moment to define the term and establish the attached connotations, or at least acknowledged that it might be an unfamiliar one. I'd never encountered it before this video, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
People are forgetting something. Copyright law is different in every nation. Nintendo is based in Japan. UA-cam operates worldwide. Japanese copyright law does NOT have an exception for free use. Japan can legally sue anybody that posts or hosts any content from any of their copyrighted material without written consent, regardless of the reason or way it is used. Nintendo is way too litigious, but theyre also 100% within their rights. No US law will or CAN change this. Only Japanese copyright law changes will alter this.
This was nice closure. Probably one of the last times I ever thought of the Nintendo President Doug Bowser. Especially since Reggie Fisame just retired like that year I think. I might be wrong on the timing...
Hilariously, when Nintendo first released the NH "Happy Home" DLC update, players discovered a glitch where you could make your animal villagers "nakie." And there were no black bar underwear failsafes, (considering the animals normally don't wear pants) or anything. Still, they're very cartoony so nothing was showing. Regardless Nintendo sense then fixed the glitch to keep the game more family friendly.
I'm pretty sure the reason that they don't go after you is that you are not harming their brand in any way. At least not intentionally, and you are smart and skilled enough to stay clear from potential pr disasters. This very likely is a case of Nintendo COULD come after you of they want to, but they choose to not do that. Likely because they know you and your show by now and there's a level of trust and respect.
When's the NOA building boundary Break episode 🏫 It would honestly be funny if there were fans at Nintendo of your channel and lead to a Collab like that 😂
Nintendo has issues, it's the same thing for mod videos...normal mods can be fine in videos for Nintendo games, but if there's a hint of nudity or boobs then Nintendo goes apeshit. lol
don't agree with nintendo's practices? don't give them money, and don't give them free advertising. you reward them while they break people's work and fair use content

Nintendo shouldn’t have gone after your video. Their response was over the top and I’m sorry you had to deal with that stress.
Typical Nintendo though, unfortunately. It's why so many content creators for a long while there wouldn't even play their games, because Nintendo tends to take things too far when they get in a mood about "protecting their IP", and a lot of people get caught in the crossfire.
Wait, you're telling me Kotaku is a shit website with thoughtless/careless writers who get involved in stupid controversies? I never knew...
Nintendo not be pieces of shit for ten seconds challenge
Nintendo needs to back off.
1:00 Over the years my opinion of the company has only dropped further and further. It feels like they have a meter on the wall in Nintendo HQ telling them how much good will they have in their fan base, and if the meter gets too high they go out and axe a couple fan projects, shut down tournaments, or send private investigators to people's doors to tell them "We clearly know where you live, we know where you work, we have all of your phone numbers and email addresses, and we have all of the same information on your S.O. and your immediate family. With all of that said, Nintendo wants you to stop making emulation happen".
At this point, fuck nintendo.
"No one likes suing fans", the article says, but not every company is as litigious about these things as Nintendo is. Nintendo won't sue the fans, as long as the only thing they're doing is playing the game. If they catch you doing anything more than that, all bets are off. Fan generated content is fan generated content, and nobody in their right mind is going to associate that with Nintendo the company.
Not worry to blame kotaku
Same with splatoon the game have cloth save to
Making a news channel to fund the main channel was such a good move, props to you Shesez!
you know what would be cool if nintendo was like "we see this is popular, this boundry break stuff, let's give you the tools to actually work the camera without having to jerryrig something". it would be cool if Nintendo had someone on staff that could jump on the videos with you and show you even more hidden stuff. you are coming at the game from the user side, imagine seeing the game from the development side. Who knows there might be more stuff hidden outside the maps of nintendo games. HECK imagine if they put the videos as easter eggs in future games. just a set of random ideas.
The N company has never been known for playing nice. There was a trade show back in the 80s where a company was showing off their (licensed) DK port to home computers. This was before N had their FamilyComputer. The N executive, in front of the whole crowd, started shouting at the developers about "Why is there DK on a computer not made by x?! Delete this and scrap this whole project!".
As the N executive was walking away, they elaborated to another company's exec about how you have to "put some of these people in their place".
I'm largely paraphrasing here.
Kotaku is poison
villager showing skin!! 🤤🤤
But yet, the Kotaku article stands strong. Such BS your video got the takedown instead.
Kotaku likely has their own defenses. Shesez was an easier target.
kotaku has a lawyer and an entire team. shesez is just shesez
Kotaku is a big corporation who likely has a good and expensive lawyer. Shesez is an individual meanwhile.
Well not only does Kotaku also have lawyers, but it seems stupid if they want to scrub the never-nude from existence why keep evidence of it up even Splatoon 1 (maybe 2 and 3) had very rudimentary never-nude models, and there was once very easy glitch to activate them
This right here is it🔥
Can you imagine? Nudity in a Animal Crossing game from Nintendo. My face would be crazy red in embarrassment.
it's only available via modding? and there isn't any nudity?
@@No_Life_Alex Im pretty sure they're joking refering to the art pieces with a sus glizzy visible
resetti rule34... better not search for that I guess
@@divVerent Also every single villager except yours is bottomless
Thats one hell of a first impresstion lol. im gonna watch it now
painted on bikini? yo nintendo are prequel adventure fans?
There's a reason why Kotaku never gets review keys from Nintendo
ah that's what happened to Aurum :(
I mean, why even make the underwear layer? If the tank top and shorts are never supposed to come off, make that the base model.
In that case, if that were to be removed, the character would just be a floating head & arms.
Because in a game where clothes can be changed, you want to keep the option up to easily add in clothing items that may show a bit of skin. If the tank top would be a part of the normal character model, this would mean you can't do things like V-Cut shirts or clothes with an open midriff without swapping the whole upper body of the model. This would also mean that a part of the skin would need to be attached to the clothing models, which would lead to more instructions for recoloring the skin parts. Having a character you can easily recolor the entire skin in one line of code, but you'd have to do it maybe 2 or 3 times per player on screen for every clothing piece that may expose more skin than the default tank top and shorts option. Doesn't sound like a lot, but the Switch isn't the strongest console out there and it is never wrong to optimize where you can even besides that.
The fail safe isn't there for anyone trying to remove these clothing pieces on purpose (at least not exclusively) but rather for any bug/glitch related issues. May it be loading issues or clipping issues for example. The latter would also be more likely to occur with the slightly 3D underwear, instead of the bare skin.
The Kotaku grammar on their article title hurts even more tbh
Not a single thing is wrong with the grammar in that title.
I disagree witg you assessement. I just think Nintendo is just insabely overprotective of their IP to a ridiculous and evil degree, IMO.
That they are. Even Sega are not that overprotective to their IP.
He has to say this, he thinks it helps.
Like burning incense to ward of evil spirits.
It doesn't work but it can *feel* like it does.
So from what im understanding, the entire issue seems to be Kotaku not bei g able to keep their mouths shut, which then results in someone else essentially having to take the fall for them
I ask love Vinny vinesauce. "In a very plutonic way"
I love Nintendos games but as a company I can’t support all the scummy and maybe illegal things they do
At least Sega doesn't treat their fans like this. Sega are cool when it comes to non-profit fangames.
@@Diogo85 there’s a video about why SEGA is so cool with their fans. You should check it out, it’s quite the reality check
I think the issue is that Nintendo, as a Japanese company, tends to forget that other countries play by different rules. Things that are legal and accepted corporate practices in Japan are not so cut-and-dried. Console modding, for example, is legal in the US - though if you use those mods to commit piracy that's a different thing - but in recent years has been made flat-out illegal in Japan. And they also forget that western audiences in general and Americans in particular are even more likely to do something if you repeatedly tell them not to. We're just awesome like that, but it leads to a fair bit of corporate and cultural friction between the company and the fanbase.
Nintendo needs to calm the eff down
It feels like Nintendo really couldn’t care less until there are eyes on it, it was fine until kotaku said “hey look at what this guy did” pretty sure the same thing happened with breath of the wild mod videos, it was fine till “journalists” caught wind
I remember this! Nice to hear the background :-)
I've seen a couple episodes of Boundary Break, and have of them looked like they had to be fake while others looked like they were legitimate behind the scenes. Are these all supposed to be real, or do you basically spoof your own content sometimes?
Looking up the video again, I think the first "Boundary Break" episode I saw was the "More Super Mario Bros" video that turns out was an April 1st video, thus intentionally fake because April Fool's, but can't remember the other one's to tell if they could have been as well.
Never heard of it before.
But I'm a big fan of this one show.
Only criticism: guy literally never stops breaking boundaries.
hah I love how petty nintendo can be
Lol never nude, poor Fúnky
Mario and Link(BotW): “Naked”, wearing shorts and nipples for all to see.😂
Animal Crossing: All clothes removed to show baked-on failsafe on naked body.😤🤔
Nintendo: 😡👿
Probably should have taken a moment to define the term and establish the attached connotations, or at least acknowledged that it might be an unfamiliar one. I'd never encountered it before this video, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
you can talk about almost anything and everything my dude and ill listen...love your work and all that you do!
@@AxelDarkana seriously thank you so much!
Is that a Mani Mani Statue behind you?
It is!!
oh no he's getting evil
some comments never watched the video before commenting
People are forgetting something.
Copyright law is different in every nation. Nintendo is based in Japan. UA-cam operates worldwide.
Japanese copyright law does NOT have an exception for free use. Japan can legally sue anybody that posts or hosts any content from any of their copyrighted material without written consent, regardless of the reason or way it is used.
Nintendo is way too litigious, but theyre also 100% within their rights. No US law will or CAN change this. Only Japanese copyright law changes will alter this.
This was nice closure. Probably one of the last times I ever thought of the Nintendo President Doug Bowser. Especially since Reggie Fisame just retired like that year I think. I might be wrong on the timing...
you have a toby maguire vibe.
i love you btw some of the most interesting content i've seen
Interesting to actually hear about the goings on to the copyright side of Nintendo!
Hilariously, when Nintendo first released the NH "Happy Home" DLC update, players discovered a glitch where you could make your animal villagers "nakie." And there were no black bar underwear failsafes, (considering the animals normally don't wear pants) or anything. Still, they're very cartoony so nothing was showing. Regardless Nintendo sense then fixed the glitch to keep the game more family friendly.
i love learning all the things! down for all the content
Never heard of boundry break, no?
Edit: I looked it up, pretty neat.
I'm pretty sure the reason that they don't go after you is that you are not harming their brand in any way. At least not intentionally, and you are smart and skilled enough to stay clear from potential pr disasters. This very likely is a case of Nintendo COULD come after you of they want to, but they choose to not do that. Likely because they know you and your show by now and there's a level of trust and respect.
When's the NOA building boundary Break episode 🏫
It would honestly be funny if there were fans at Nintendo of your channel and lead to a Collab like that 😂
Is a "never nude" a movement or something?
Arrested Development reference.
I remember this!!
Nintendo has issues, it's the same thing for mod videos...normal mods can be fine in videos for Nintendo games, but if there's a hint of nudity or boobs then Nintendo goes apeshit. lol
Ew, kotaku
If you're going to be saying a word more than four times in a paragraph, definitely check that you're using the right word. This is an earnest repeal
What word?
I love Nintendo's games, but the way they treat customers is BLECH!
Might I remind you the Nintendo UA-cam Creator Program.
Other companies do what Nintendon't: Not make a creators program.
don't agree with nintendo's practices? don't give them money, and don't give them free advertising. you reward them while they break people's work and fair use content
Kotaku runs sensationalist headlines. Even if it's not the author's fault, it is the publication's fault for making the video sound racier than it is.
I remember when this happened, tbh I'm not keen on Kotaku as even though they mean well some of their articles are speculation for the most part
Why you always looks like gonna cry..
I only know you from Boundary Break and didn’t know this channel existed until this video was recommended.
3:45 haha you said doodoo (my brain is so rotted please help me)
Of course it was Kotaku
Your reverence for kotaku is misplaced. Similar articles of theirs got Gal*Gun banned in my country a day before it was supposed to launch and I had to import it at a higher cost.
Tamagotchi Adventure is so much better than Animal Crossing it is not even funny.
This reminds me of Moon Channel's video on why Nintendo hasnt shut down Pokemon Showdown, same ideas there
Interesting!
But did the article get taken down?
I remember
nope... it's 1000% kotaku's fault...
Kotaku is trash anyway. Good job calling them out.
I used to get all my gaming news from Kotaku. I forgot they existed
3:46
What boomer at Nintendo is still looking at kotaku for information regarding video games? Site is nothing more than a propaganda center that maliciously attacks gamers…
You can't even display the WORD "nude" in a thumbnail anymore?
Nintendo works in mysterious ways.. 😅
(As always, love your channel.)
I'm a boundary break sub saw the title and clicked lol
this might be an eye opener for me.
