  • Nintendo is loved by many people for many reasons, and we can all see why. We grew up with Mario, Link, Samus, and many others, but what happens when we look past these colorful mascots and into the eyes of the corporation itself?

    I have first-hand experience with this topic. Back in the late 1990s, Nintendo had its own BBS where many of us would discuss our favorite games. When Mario Kart 64 came out, I was discovering several game-breaking shortcuts in the early months. One in particular was a lap skip in the Frappe Snowland track, which I described how to do on their BBS.
    Sure enough, they'd steal credit several months later in Nintendo Power magazine, only stating it was found by "clever fans via our website." This incident inspired me to make my own site, so that proper credit could be given to the sources.

    • @Sandact6
      @Sandact6 2 роки тому +85

      The Melee banning thing at least was consistent with how Nintendo acts.
      1) Nintendo hates emulation. It lothes it. Nintendo (and Sony) tried to make emulators themselves illegal, but failed so horribly they set a very strong precedent for emulators. So long as emulators don't contain BIOS files, they don't even contest them. Ironically, if you run a tournament using an emulator but have the actual disc, Nintendo couldn't do fuckall to stop it (Though knowing their lawyers, they'll invent a way).
      2) As mention in the video, a modded game likely means you got it from a ROM. Even then, you're breaking the agreement that you're not allowed to make modifications to the game. This was the crux, this was how they could ban the tournament.
      3) They want people to play Ultimate instead. Ultimate sells copies, whereas they won't make money on Melee. This is the financial reason.
      When the Melee tournament announced they were using an emulator, I knew they were dead in the water. My favorite option is 4) Nintendo would realize how terrible their netcode programmers are if a mod of an old game runs online matches better than Ultimate ever will for free.

      @@Sandact6 These videos and threads are interesting because they're an echo chamber for people that have zero clue of how this world works and are stuck in their own delusion and nonsense.
      Some that I've found in this post:
      - Nintendo never hated emulation, Nintendo never try to make emulators illegal as Nintendo's lawyers are among the best and knew back then that emulators were legal, that's only Sony that tried that nonsense (with Bleem! IIRC) and failed miserably, but it didn't fit your BS narrative so you couldn't say the truth;
      - Nintendo (Playstation as well) actively combats piracy against its work as it's its bread and butter, that's the main money making business of Nintendo nowadays, and Nintendo is a very small company, not a big one like Sony and MS. Your emulators are useless without pirated games (most ROM played) and piracy is very dangerous to the business, as shown by DS and PSP, which killed both consoles, despite DS being the most sold consoles to consumer of all time, games weren't selling at all as piracy was everywhere with R4 cards and the like. PSP got killed even faster, some people bought it just to play pirated games;
      - IP laws force a company to actively protect its IP and have proof of it, or the company risks losing its IP rights. Nintendo having real world lawyers and having business in the real world knows this and do just what it has to do to not lose its valuable IP, it's the only company left with so strong and so old IP in the videogame industry, that's why their action are more prominent and scrutinized than others. Pirates living in their bubble believe nonsense like in this video. Anyone with even the slightest clue about copyright and IP laws in the USA would have understood that making a tournament with distributed modded games (legally the same as distributing pirated games with DMCA) was beyond stupid;
      - Anyone talking "netcode" advertizes that they have no clue of how a game is programmed, how network works, basically no clue in computer science and tech. This is further reinforced by someone that has no clue in the difference between making online matches between 10s of people and 10s millions of people, surely (like most) people that believe that networks works well everytime when actually there's constantly problems in networks at the hardware level (and I'm not talking congestion there), despite the hardware having ECC RAM or mitigation hardware like that. When the volume of compute and data is high enough, these problems people are oblivious of start to happen, like in Smash Bros, the sole fighting game to reach such sales;

      What pains me the most is the libraries on the internet that aren't even handing out illegal copies but just keep them to be preserved, that often also get hit with cease and desist letters, threats to their project and more. There's countless games that will never, ever see a re-release on modern consoles. Because they're not well known, didn't make money back then. But because of that, they also barely sold and finding physical legit copies of those games is basically impossible. The community goes to such efforts to preserve games so they won't forever get lost to time, and then Nintendo is like "suck it guys, we don't care how much you do out of love for our games, cease and desist!"

      Emulation IS legal. The problem is getting the copyrighted source code of the game you want to play. Say, you can reverse engineer an NES and make a program that plays NES games. That's emulation, and is very legal (though a few legal wars were fought for it). However, getting a game that was copyrighted by a long gone 90's company basically puts the game in a "legal limbo".
      Fair use should also protect historic preservation of software.

    The Joycon drift is straight up programed obsolescence. There's no other explanation. At first I thought that they just stumbled into the Joycon drift and took advantage of it by "technically" allowing people to send in their broken Joycon to get "fixed". But no, now that I think about it, it's such an obvious design flaw that it is literally impossible for them to not know about it and still refuse to fix it. For those that don't know the Joycon drift is caused by the fact that the panel holding the joystick's components is held only by one screw so there isn't enough pressure to make contact with the pad inside. That literally can be fixed using a piece of paper.

    If memory serves, there was a guy who did an impressive Skyrim mod back in the game's earlier years. It was on the scale of a DLC/expansion, and he was the only one to work on it. He got hired onto a gaming company for pulling off such a feat (I think it was Bungie). Also there are currently huge mods being made that either remake the entire older TES/Fallout games being made that Beth/Zen/MS haven't shut down, and honestly those companies would be foolish to not hire some of the key staff to help them with future titles with the work they've been doing.
    Here's another thought: Why didn't Nintendo offer to either buy out something like AM2R (just buy the dev's game and sell it to make profit and everyone wins) or at least consider hiring some of these modders/devs to work for them? So much potential, but yet Nintendo throws it away to keep this "honor" of their properties...

      If Nintendo's able to prove culpability on the devs for doing something that hurts their brand image (including the exclusivity of their brand), that's not a C&D, that's a lawsuit.
      Sure, fans get what they want because it's on the internet; it's there forever, but devs have to remember that a lawsuit that puts them into a hole forever is also a thing.
      The advice should be; make it as legally distinctive as possible and don't use Nintendo-made assets.
      Also, don't use direct Nintendo's games' names, that if a google search happens, it shouldn't be able to get confused with the real thing.

    This video is over 45 minutes long, even though he didnt even talk about speedruning. as a zelda speedruner myself i can say that we’re definitely one of the most passionate group of zelda fans out there and all we want is for nintendo to do well- nothing. though nintendo sweeps in and patches some frame perfect glitches that require a very percise setup and even though im 100% certain that no player ever just accidentally happened to stumble upon these glitches in a casual playthrough they still patch it out just so we cant play through their game fast anymore. it seems like they do this because we actively break their games, but i and basically every zelda speedruner feel like this isnt a bad thing at all. in fact its literally free ads we do for them in showing off the potential to spend thousands of hours in their games. though all nintendo does is take this passion as an insult.

    • @JohnnyYeTaecanUktena

      A lot of devs do, unless it is game devs as game devs see the actual meaning of it. Like the devs that don't understand sees bugs and glitches even exploits as faults in the game or programs and such that they don't want people to see.
      Though you do have some devs like Mercury Steam that does patch stuff only if it hurts the game like soft locks hard locks and game breaking bugs that casuals could do too easily by accident such as what is basically turning on god mode in Metroid Dread, but if that one was allowed to stay even if casuals don't do it then eventually the speedrunning scene would stagnate fast
      Though if a player does stumble across a frame perfect glitch unless they were looking for something to exploit they would not think about it and just assume it was normal gameplay or a weird little bug that was a small oversight such as the invincibility glitch in Metroid Dread. And while people love blaming Nintendo for the stuff that they do in patching speed tech out what they need to realize is that it is not Nintendo's fault it is the individual Dev studios sole discretion to do it such as Mercury Steam patching stuff not Nintendo as Nintendo does not care as long as they hit the sale numbers they were hoping for within the first week

      if you're so passionate about speedrunning why don't you learn how to go fast in the version of games without that glitch?
      I think he didn't bring it up since that sorta stuff is kinda niche and isn't a real problem. Games have been getting re-releases and patches all the time and communities are used to making sub categories and rulesets about which version of which game to what degree of glitch breaking are played.
      Further most glitches are the result of minor oversights that occur from the act of creating an entire game from scratch; I doubt that not being able to wrong warp to the end of the OoT remake is as much about Nintendo going out of their way to spite 0.1% of their audience as much as them coding something from scratch will result in those specific oversights not existing.
