The Story Of Nintendo's Official Bootleg Game- Explaining Nintendo's Attitude Towards Fan Games
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2021
- As I am sure most of you are aware, Nintendo does not embrace fan games, rather quite the contrary. But why? Shouldn't Nintendo embrace the passion creators put into fan games? You would think so, but that is strangely not the case. But WHY? Nintendo's officially licensed clone of Donkey Kong made by Falcon could potential explain this. This is the story of Crazy Kong.
I have seen comments about other creators covering this topic. I was unaware of that when creating this. The approach is more comedic here and also covers Crazy Kong Part 2. I'm also aware Donkey Kong '94 serves as the perfect sequel to the original Donkey Kong. I meant it never got a true arcade sequel called Donkey Kong 2. A fan did make an AMAZING sequel called Donkey Kong 2: Jumpman Returns if you're interested. - Ігри
In DK, there actually is a visual indication for when the hammer will wear off-it starts to flash yellow for a brief period before it goes away completely.
This was great. It feels like it's been *YEARS* since I learned something new about Nintendo histiry
It definitely is a weird party of Nintendo's history.
@@Demeech In all honesty, I wish Nintendo focused more on shutting down fangames that are purposefully crap (like Crazy Kong and other bootlegs), or fangames that are purposefully taking people's money (Super Mario RPG 2 Kickstarter); rather than fangames that are just made for fun (like moderately good sprite swap romhacks) or fangames that are non-profit and put effort into it (like Mario Forever). Besides, without Mario Forever (and Mario Worker), we wouldn't have Mario Maker.
Imagine if Nintendo did something similar as to what happened with Sonic Mania. Their community is so creative and talented when it comes to rom hacks and fan games and its a shame how they always go against it because they only see it as pirating their ip.
Yeah Sega did sonic mania you forgot that they did sonic forces so nor Nintendo & sega care about the fans so they just want too make money so either buy their shit or don't
I think Falcon may have scared them.
dude, imagine a "mario mania"...
that would be so cool
@@hessxpress not really it would bel like playing mario bros 1 all over again
@@hessxpress also Sega criticized for repeating green hill zone over and over again
There also was a bootleg version called "Congorilla" as well.
Boy for what I just seen, that bootleg Crazy Kong was the reason why Nintendo has shut down those fan projects in the first place. You know, Nintendo would've embrace the fan games like Sega due to the fans love and passion for their games if Crazy Kong never existed.
From what I've seen, Nintendo doesn't really go after fan games that much, they mainly target remakes or re-imaginings of games that they're currently selling.
A mixture of both.
This is like the Ms. Pac-Man of Donkey Kong. An official rom hack of the original game.
Only difference is Ms. Pac-Man is good
I would say more like Pac-Man Plus. It's a weirder version of Pac-Man.
After seeing what happened with Pac-Man with Midway illegally making sequels and GCC at the time owning the rights to Ms Pac-Man now I don't blame Nintendo for fearing fan games GCC and Midway games stole from Bandai Namco.
Intro to the video is perfection. Nintendo has alot of Twitter lawyers
I love how Nintendo dislike fan games but love their own one
You can't make money of fan games meanwhile you can do whatever you want with it if you make it official
Yeah but is't like if Nintendo made a fan game at their own studio
The game was built on the crazy climber engine.
No wonder its called CRAZY kong
Fun fact: Mario's shirt was originally gonna be blue in Super Mario Bros. but they changed it for no exact reason at all
Maybe it was for color palette limitations because his art was still blue
Demeech, this was a great video! I’ve discovered a similar game in the Super Mario Bros line of games, and this video made me want to talk about it!
Send it to me!
3:27 Groose is a monumental step towards gaming. Without him, gaming would never be the same. Thank you Groose.
thats very interesting and a cool piece of nintendo thanks Demeech I would of never know about this without you
It was a very bizzare piece of history. Nintendo won't acknowledge it, but I will.
@@Demeech I'm actually trying to find crazy junior Video or a dump Of the game
Excellent video! I never heard about this before. I guess the Kong was perhaps too crazy that they got themselves into legal issues.
Donkey Kong surprisingly has so many lawsuits. First this Universal VS. Nintendo claiming that they infringed on King Kong, which they never owned in the first place.
Then there was the Crazy Kong lawsuit.
Finally, there was the lawsuit with Ikegami Tsushinki after Nintendo broke the agreement and reverse DK to make DK Jr.
With the awsome 8 Grand Dad Nintendo knows the impact of bootleg games.
It's 7 Grand Dad
@@Demeech.
@@Demeech I think he was talking about the fan made sequel to 7 Grand Dad retexturing "The Flintstones: The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak!": 8 Grand Dad.
Either that or it was a typo.
so what you are saying to me is that if bird let monke be only in japan, red company would let us use jumpy man?
Oh yeah now I remember about this weird little adaptation, thanks for the reminder!
Of course!
I played this at a local pizza place that had it. Great memories!!!!
You cannot forget the lawsuit that Universal Studios filed against NOA for copyright infringement. When the lawsuit was filed, the production of the cabinets was stopped, the Saturday morning cartoon by Ruby-Spears was taken off the air, and all merchandise had to cease production. It was a big deal. Universal Studios claimed that the story of DK infringed upon the story of King Kong. You know, a big gorilla snatching a girl and carrying her to the top of a building. At the time Nintendo was a relatively small company here in the States, and Universal knew this and thought that they had this lawsuit in the bag. Their overconfidence did them in. NOA's lawyer, John Kirby, discovered that Universal Studios had let their copyright of King Kong expire in the mid-70s. This cost Universal Studios big. Every company that produced DK merchandise had to be compensated, and CBS had to be compensated for the loss of ad revenue (the cartoon was on their network) But it was Nintendo that Universal Studios owed big time for complete loss of revenue because of the lawsuit. On a different note, Nintendo paid homage to their lawyer, John Kirby by naming that little pink puff-ball that likes to inhale things after him. Mr. Kirby was even presented with the very first copy of Kirby's Adventure for the NES. From what I remember, as soon as the copy was shrinkwrapped, it went straight to him. Just think, if Mr. Kirby had not discovered what he did regarding the expiration of Universal's copyright, one of Nintendo's beloved characters who has been in a multitude of games would have never of existed.
Crazy Kong is what killed Wrinkly Kong. (In a forest, like a wild bear)
We need more story videos!
Any requests?
@@Demeech the story of bandai namco developed nintendo games like Mario super sluggers and starfox assualt.
For some reason I can't find any information about falcon industries.
they just didn't know how much fangames have changed since the 80s i mean they are so much worse compares to what exist today
Fan games are not even official why bother make fan games if you can't make money of them just make your own games and sell them that way so more people can play it
@@yarc9 Passion projects. That's why.
I'm not sure if you still care, but this is indeed Crazy Junior.
ua-cam.com/video/96gztxnmt4A/v-deo.html
I specifically remember running into it.
Wow this was really interesting
5:19 Based favorite color here
nice video
Ronald vs Mario was my favorite game ngl I think Arnold should try it
It's really not Ronald VS. Mario. Mario is working for Ronald.
This is gonna be great!
What did you think?
@@Demeech It was pretty great! Also pretty cool and unexpected since I've never heard about Crazy Kong and the story behind it.
So thats maybe how nintendo got strict woth fan games
Personally, I prefer Crazy Kong. The physics are a bit looser, and feel better than those in Donkey Kong, at least in my opinion. I’ve always been more of a DK Jr. person myself, but I’d never pass up Crazy Kong if I saw it somewhere somehow.
It’s on like Crazy Kong
So you're gonna maul someone?
He's definetly crazy also FINNAly a fact that you never knew about mario
I didn't know this until a fan pointed it out years ago.
@@Demeech yay
I have a crazy junior cab i have pictures too
Did not expect this from Nintendo
Me neither. I thought it was a bootleg until a fan pointed it out.
This Game's overall rating is a 5/10
Fair. It's still Donkey Kong but looks messed up.
0:41 your fan base is... interesting to say the least
That was one guy. Most are chill.
Crazy Kong?
O... OH N O
😂
Chintendo, the bootleg Nintendo.
I have no words
Any words now?
@@Demeech no
NOOO I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL NIGHT NIPPON
That isn't a bootleg and doesn't fall into the bootleg grey area.
Crazy Kong is mentally insane.
mad
-ness combat
This video seems a little bit stolen from the Amiiben one
Turns out the origin story of why Nintendo hates fangames is basically like Adam and Eve. Falcon had one rule to follow and chose not to do so and affected Nintendo fan projects as a whole.
Sega is basically Jesus since you can make fangames and fan remakes as long as no profit is involved. Basically this just gave "Christian Sonic" a reason to exist.
This is upsetting
It's more weird than anything.
Has nintendo ever cause bodly harm to people who make fan games?
why does your logotype make your username look like it starts with a B
I would wait to video call slim Kirby my finance Twitter account or I could just say that I am disabled
