I hope that dude who accidentally mixed the Joycon colors got a promotion
Happy accident.
I hope that dude who accidentally mixed the Joycon colors gets cancer, I hate that I
can never find pair colord sets!
MechaniclZ no cap
Nintendo: (What the f)
Crowd: What a interesting design, I approve.
Nintendo: Uh, Yes, yes it is
MechaniclZ shut up
"This isn't the only adult mahjong game to be censored on the switch."
TheSmelliestBoys Because why would there be only one??
@@Brione30 What majong games could they be? There are so many of them. Asking for a friend.
*mahjong
That's an amazing sentence.
I didn't even knew strip mahjong was a thing up until this video.
the red and blue joycons weren't a mistake, they were a happy accident
Nice Bob Ross reference.
or "the right mistake"
There are no accidents
Hi Bandit
I always thought the grey would take of and not the blue red. But i guess i am the only one who likes symmetry these days. I would never use a pair of joy cons that where not the same color.
“If I had a nickel for every adult mahjong game censored on the Nintendo Switch, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”
I get the reference.
Deuce Moncura In the movie ‘Phineas and Ferb: Across the Second Dimension’, the character Dr Doofenshmirtz says “If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been doomed by a puppet, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?’’
I also got the reference
Snickerway That’s very Toony
I get it lol
"The lawsuit asked for both monetary damages as well as a ban on all future sales of the Switch."
LOL
The switch wasnt even much like that thing there you took the tablet and on the switch you just take the controllers
I'm guessing that lawsuit was their last ditch effort to gain some kind of money back from their shit gamepad before they admit it was a loss.
@multi ROOIIGHT!!!!!
I can understand wanting some of Nintendo's money but banning the Switch is an absurd idea.
Thats not the point the point was that the switch is a console and they had a fucking tablet that they themselves dont even own the rights to XD
Everyone gangster until she takes of her shirt and reveals her DYKG logo
She has it plastered across her back like a giant Yakuza tattoo, and she's ready for the Kumite atop the Millenium Tower.
DYKG should pin this
Well that took a dark turn.
Little do they know I’m a down person
Why are adult Mahjong games a genre, that feels rather specific
If I only knew how to play Majong
I remember trying and failing to play the Mahjong game that came with Windows Vista/7
Japan version of strip poker, i guess
Because dirty old men and Mahjong players have a large overlap on the venn diagram
I don't know but club penguin has trained me for this.
I remember checking out the Japanese eshop page one day and being surprised at the amount of spicy mahjong games available for purchase.
Yeah that was weird
Well, the stereotypical mahjong player is a middle aged man, so they aim at their audience.
@@RealJokerx7 With girls younger than the middle age man...
@@arnowisp6244 More like with girls younger than legal. Of course they gonna be younger than middle aged men, how many pretty women in their 50 do you know? Sure there are some but not many.
@@Mundus66 You can have girls that are legal but yeah, I meant to say younfer than legal... still makes it creepy.
So the color pattern of red and blue was made because of an accident? That's really interesting
I would have thought it would have been an obvious choice, to highlight multiplayer ease by swapping around joycons, with P1 being typically red and P2 being blue.
@@samwoodley1653 That makes so much sense. I wonder if they used those colors to do just that.
Sam Woodley I thought it was blue for p1 and red for p2
@@justarandomfactidkwhatlast9333 typically it's red for player 1. Even in Smash it's that. Can't think of a game where blue isn't player 2.
Player 3 is then green and 4 is yellow.
Sam Woodley oh right I forgot about that it was like that in other games tho
Who would really sit down and think:
"I wonder why the banana peels have faces in a video game"
The same people who break down unrealistic events in a movie
IIRC, in that video, they were talking about how the banana peel is shaped like that or something.
The trivia relates to why the banana is peeled wrong
@@UnexpectedDanger how did I not notice that until now?
@@UnexpectedDanger But that's the easier way to peel bananas
Another fact: Super Mario Maker (original Wii U version) was one of Iwata’s last games before his death. He didn’t even live to see it launch
I do like the direction they went with the Joy-Cons, but I do wish they sold more same-color packs of Joy-Cons.
“Sometimes mistakes happen and they end up being the right mistakes.”
Mom, that doesn’t help...
😂😂😂
Mother, a car crash is not a good mistake.
@@arnowisp6244 CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE CONTIBUTED 0 THINGS TO THIS CONVERSATION! YOUR PRISE IS A SLAP TO THE FACE!!!!!!111!!!!!
The mythra censorship actually kinda worked, she looks good in tights
Agreed, if anything I actually preferred her in tights.
Yeah. The black contracts really nicely with the rest of her outfit. I see it less as censorship and more like a good redesign.
Spoonicide It went so well that Monolith actually added it in Xenoblade 2 as an alternate costume for her
@@SonicXeno oh really I thought it was already in the game as an alternate costume
@@GoatToHeal good to know thanks
I detail you left out linking the Golf emulator to the Japanese Charm is that the charm is traditionally removed after a year, which was also the case for the emulator. There was more to it than it just disappearing from the firmware.
"Nintendo is against censorship."
*_How relatable._*
What???
Ask Sakurai how he felt about censorship in Smash. It's also apparent in how Bayonetta's Nintendo crossover skins in Bayonetta 2 were altered to be more revealing by Nintendo employees themselves. They really couldn't care less, but they have a strict ratings board and an image to uphold
@Taylor Khan Tf?
@Taylor Khan what?
@UA-camis Orwellian hey, my girlfriend called me a cummunist!
Another secret is the fact they haven't given us information about the NX
QuantumNoVa Cant wait until the NX finally releases!
@@captainravioli1364 same here
Nintendo will announce more infos once the Ultra 64 is released
@@razielonex2469 Ultra 64? I want to see them present the NIntendo Revolution already.
Come on folks, we all know that they can’t make any of those until after the Nintendo Dolphin is released.
Did you know? Coming back to videos from years ago where people claim the Switch will fail is a way to have a good laugh
You are really the first everywhere
But hey, Super Mario PS4 will be awesome.
yeah, their thinking was probably like ''wii u sucked, so switch will suck''
dang, you're fast
Tell that to the Wii U
"Nintendo is against censorship"
And they call me the baby for playing Nintendo games
That's mainly due to Nintendo's first party games being aimed at kids. Also the Switch missing a lot of the big adult games like cod and GTA.
it's crazy how the tides have turned with time
Crazy how we've gone from censorship heavy Nintendo to this
@@dmansuperich2800 a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one
@@dmansuperich2800 The censorship is actually being increased little by little as time goes on and recently has pissed japanese people off where nintendo even had to apologize because the japanese boycotted and were pissed. So its there.
Where's the secret switch blade function.
Ha
I wood buy that
Just press the blue button. Easy as that.
@TB_Nick yep
It comes with labo
7:51 - "PRESS ANY BUTT"
You could’ve finished the sentence at “this Wasnt the only adult mahjong game” and I’d still be impressed
for me, switch games are almost always much cheaper physically than digitally
I've managed to get them for like a third of the cost sometimes, without it even being on sale
And a lot of those times there is bullshit partial downloads
That doesn’t make sense, but I wish that was the case for me too though.
Yona there is an online store here that sells them dirt cheap. The price is usually based on popularity, so the more niche the game is, the cheaper it gets.
@@NikolajLepka What store is it? Switch games are honestly just too expensive for me
@@moisteggroll3421 It's called Coolshop. I doubt it's available in your region though
It's kind of amusing how Mythra's spirit appearance was an easy solution for keeping the E10+ rating, but it became a popular look for her. Although tights can be considered sexy in their own right… 😁
GuestZer0 sometimes less is more
Many would agree that its a better design and the black contrasts well with her white suit
Nop
Ill head turn at a female designed outfit that involves tights, its so elegant.
Let's not forget how Terraria costs $10 on steam and $30 on the Nintendo e-shop
Random dude at Nintendo: (Connects two diffrent Joy-Cons too the same console.) oops.
Staff: (Silence)
Random person in staff: *Hey that actually looks really good!*
8:15 I thought you were gonna mention that Mythra's spirit appearance from Ultimate was added to Xenoblade 2 prior to Smash's release as an alternate outfit for Mythra.
Didyouknowgaming: talks about nintendo censership
Parent: _walks in_
Didyouknowgaming: talks about nudity
F
That is exactly what happened to me 😆
3:00 Thank you, Mr. Iwata.
The Iwata secret made me emotional, yet the comments are just people obsessed with the censorship
Iwata deserves better
This is your first time hearing about the Iwata omamori but then I’m guessing? If so, then that makes sense.
It’s a bit of old news to a lot of people now through, which is why I think there’s not a lot of commenters commenting about that here.
@@TheStarBot the gamer specialty
@@TheStarBot - Yes. Problem?
@@TheStarBot you assuming they are underaged for LOOKING cute? did you know asians look younger despite their age being as old as westeners? You projecting onto fiction out of moral guardian puritan fearmongering that sounds like excuses without proof
@Nathan-DTS do you have proof over something you assume over art is nothing more than making you ASSUME.
Excellent as always. You guys are easily some of the best UA-cam content out there. Cheers!
8:15 that actually isn’t a total “censor” The artwork used is based of the melee mythra core that can be held in-game, giving mythra an alternate skin
That Core came out in an update that was released after Smash Ultimate. It was made for smash ultimate, then they added it to Xenoblade because Xenoblade is around the age where a JRPG gets a ton of random free updates that add random shit.
@@alisethera9349 The Xenoblade update was released a few days before Ultimate's official launch, actually (December 2 vs. December 7). The idea was for the outfit to debut in Xenoblade, but since Ultimate got leaked, people first learned about it from Mythra's spirit artwork.
Nintendo: We're against censorship.
Also Nintendo: *Removes game from Eshop for having a nipple*
Because it's a man's nipple which is okay
"Ban sales of the Switch"
Lol
Thanks for covering the fire emblem thing. It was interesting and fairly covered.
I remember reading somewhere fans saw Mythra's censored design and apparently agreed it actually looked better on her than her original look. Can't quite remember where I read it though.
Dude: *mixes up joy cons*
Everyone: *YES*
"The holy lights keep things family friendly." -Garibel, 2017
1) The Satoru Iwata Golf Easter egg blew my mind. 2) "A console game is more expensive than its Steam version". Yeah, what a surprise. A lot of games are more expensive on other online stores (such as the PSN) compared to Steam. 3) "Nintendo heavily opposes censorship." Oh, the sheer irony.
Can you imagine the backlash if the Switch DID end up getting banned in the US?
Nintendo: We Don’t Censor Japanese Games no more.
Sony: We now do Censor Japanese Games even though our policy sucks and Fans Hated ours.
Microsoft: What's a Censorship?
Steam: uhhhhhh, I'm mixed on Censorship.
@@madden8021 Good ol' Microsoft
Microsoft basically invented censoring weeb games. They made the developers of the orignal Gal Gun patch it so you couldn't adjust the camera to look up skirts back in 2011.
waa waa waa i want tiddies waa waa
The censorship is actually being increased little by little as time goes on and recently has pissed japanese people off where nintendo even had to apologize because the japanese boycotted and were pissed. So its there.
That Iwata easter egg... no, I'm not crying, you're crying!

Here’s how Nintendo can make their 3rd party digital games cheap at launch, sell the game on the eShop at the same physical price but put it on sale at launch!
"the light was not aligned properly" oh Japan. How I love you
Good to know that even the "mysterious ray of light"
can be "off its game" from time to time.
Did you guys know? If you buy a regular Nintendo Switch with the Red and Blue controller and later then buy the set Red & Blue again, you get the opposite colors for the controllers so you have 2 blue and 2 red to use and not 2 times red & blue.
I knew the golf thing was gonna get brought up.
Didn't stop me from crying a little, though.
There's also a browser called SwitchBru that can be accessed by inputting a specifc DNS server number.
EDIT: Go to your internet settings> click your registered network and go to change settings> change your DNS settings to Manual and type 045.055.142.122 into your Primary DNS and leave the Secondary DNS as it is> hit save and then click connect to this network> it'll then say registration is required and you'll be taken to SwitchBru> hit continue to google and there you go.
Does your Switch need to be modded to do this?

@@izzyd885 does it change your switch region code or something like that?
5 iterations of Joycons and it was never deduced that the sold versions would drift

“sometimes mistakes happen and they end up being the right mistakes”
I remember when my dad first told me that.
HA. Underrated comment
Ha! Is it often right tho, maybe not for me.
I wish finding Joy cons of the same colour in stores was easier.
Amazon could probably help you there
@@ThatNormalBunny it could if I were buying online but I said "in stores" not online

@Taylor Khan WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
2:57 you weren’t supposed to make me cry
Guy: accedentally changes joy con colors
Nintendo: Noice
Master oogway: there are no accidents
"Nintendo seems to be against censoring games"
Try telling that to Tokyo Mirage Sessions
They’re against censoring 3rd Party games, 1st Party games they can do whatever they want with.
@@grandtactician9801 Then they can't say they are against it if they still have that censorship issue on their system.
I guess this is more a problem due to lazyness. They simply use here the most current build of the game which is, unfortunately, the censored western version of the game. This plays, I think, well in their cards because they still don't wanna receive higher rating in the west for this game. It's a wasted opportunity and maybe the weirdest decision they could actually have made. So don't expect the Xenoblade Chronicles X Remaster, if it ever happen, to be uncensored.
Fate862 I’m not saying I agree with the choice to censor games, quite frankly I don’t, but it’s not like they censoring 3rd Party games like Sony has been doing. I’ll admit that Nintendo overall didn’t handle the TMS debacle well at all, but at least Nintendo isn’t forcing smaller devs to change content to their own standards.
MonsieurAufziehvogel That’s a good way of looking at it. I agree that it’s a wasted opportunity.
That Joy Con color incident is a "mission failed successfully"
Nintendo joy-cons went all Oops All Berries on us
...they were thinking about using MAGNETS to attach the joycons?!? While we're at it, let's make snail food with extra salt and use outlets as cutlery storage! What the hell, Nintendo R&D?!?
LEGS. They censored LEGS.
That's nintendo for you
Fate862 that’s an e10 game for you
@@freetoyota1768 Yeah, cause 10 year-olds never see a woman's bare legs in the US
007MrYang this isn’t for the US, this is an international fix.
Which is odd. Yeah it’s a little risqué, but I don’t know how many parents would really complain if they kept Mythra and Camilla’s original designs.
I played Three Houses at launch and I dont know when the update happened, but i feel like I did see the uncensored line on my first playthrough. It wasnt a big enough change to notice on repeat playthroughs until now. It's not like a horrible change or anything, but it is weird that they just simplified the line. The implications are the same, just less descriptive.
I know he was maybe just referring to sexual content, but when they said the president said he wasn't very into censorship, I could only think about how quick they were to remove the feather from Mr. Game & Watch's forward smash...
"Nintendo is against censorship"
Gee, it's almost like stuff getting changed is mainly to do with publishers or the game devs because they know that ratings can be different in different areas of the world so they tool the release of the game around what is appropriate in that part of the world.
Localization gets confused for "censorship" a lot of the time. Cultures are different and like it or not sometimes a change has to happen if the product is going to reach it's intended audience.
Its not really getting confused, a lot of the anti-censorship types see localization as censorship. The problem is that changing from the original is referred to as "censorship", so the meaning gets muddled, just as how the term "free speech" has.
Its not necessarily that it was "censored" that they're really complaining about in the first place, but rather that the content they feel entitled to was "taken" from them.
Nah, we all know Nintendo censored TMS because they thought the original outfits were too lewd, despite the game's rating being more than adequate for the original outfits. Oh, and let us not forget about the removed story content.
@@Medachod now here is a question. Do we know it was Nintendo or was it a choice made by Atlus/Atlus USA? Publishers do tamper with releases but sometimes it really is just something internal with the devs where they feel like something would be better done a different way.
I don't doubt Nintendo has required stuff be changed in games but I don't blindly believe everything wrong is automatically their fault. They aren't exactly shy about putting their name on M-rated stuff. I mean the fact they Published Bayo 2 and are going to publish the third game should be evidence enough of that.
The secret of my Switch is that it cant play Smash bros, it can only turn lights on and off
It makes _no_ sense to me that digital versions cost the same as the physical releases. There are so many other factors involved in the production and delivery of physical cartridges, compared to simply downloading a digital copy...
Not sure if it's mentioned in the video or even true, but I'm pretty sure that's a rule straight from Nintendo that you have to follow.
Good to know that there’s some info on Fire Emblem
The Smash censorship seems a bit weird to me because I live in Europe where it’s rated 12
It's not really up to PEGI/Nintendo of Europe what gets into the game and what gets changed its up to Sakurai/Nintendo of Japan and CERO
Wait, what was this video about? I was distracted by the censored anime woman and all the Ludwig specific mario kart gameplay...
That golf thing is cool af
Just watching a video about the Nintendo switch out of curiosity can yield some great results.
i remember reading an official statement in regards to the golf game was that it was supposed to be a digital omamori and that's why it was patched out a year later because you're supposed to throw them out after a year
I figured it was the fact that people discovered it was why they removed it.
I may be wrong here, but I seem to recall reading that you're not supposed
to open an "omamori" (as it would lose its charm.. or something).
So you could say people "opened" the Switch & found the charm inside.
When it comes to the spirit thing with Mythra in Ultimate there is something strange there. Even though that yes those spirits noted in this video have been changed there are still a good number of spirits in the game that have that kind of leg and cleavage action going on. As those ones would be just like the censored spirits but somehow have been unchanged even with patches. Any with about all the spirits in there games take a look and see if you can find the ones I'm referring to. Now it might be a case of popularity with Mythra and Camilla being from some big Nintendo games, Xenoblades and Fire Emblem respectively. And the uncensored spirits might have gotten passed are not the most well known, but then there is Shantae and Risky Boots that I would say fall in with while not as popular are still pretty big names that got in just fine.
If the calculator did not exist, the Nintendo Switch would have never existed.
MERRY CHRISTMAS DIDYOUKNOWGAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:24 that's not an issue. Magnets don't cause interference like that...every laptop has it's WiFi antennas in the lid, which also have magnets in it to keep it shut.
Oh really? Well what if you took a monster-magnet next to your... let's say walkie talkie, while it was transmitting, doesn't that screw up the signal? Also I would assume the magnets in laptops are weak magnets. The ones on the Switch would have had to be stronger ones to keep them on (which still wouldn't work obviously) so if they were stronger they could, in theory, mess with the hardware.
@@charKT-7461 a walkie talkie? Could you possibly provide a less relevant example? And many laptops use some pretty strong neodymium magnets, to the point of not easily being able to open it with one hand. Not to mention magnetic phone holders, etc.
And I have a feeling the switch never intended to purely have magnets attach the joycons. They would need to be absurdly strong to keep them well attached, to the point of them being dangerous. Pretty sure DYKG read something on them originally having magnets and just made up the rest.
@@startedtech NEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
@@startedtech the magnet idea being dropped was for multiple reasons, one was interfering with the rest of the hardware, remember they are really close the screen and everything is very close together unlike a laptop where things can be seperated, but the other, as you kind of explained yourself, was that they werent strong enough to stay secure and would occasionally drop the rest of the switch onto the persons lap while testing
Nintendo: We don't want nudity in our games
Also Nintendo: We accept and promote nudity games in our digital store
Nintendo is strange.
Zanki Zero got nailed too on PS4 it even caused a month delay. I understand why it was censored but it was still irritating when the game was rated M.
So what you're telling me is that somebody was like "let's make lewd Mahjong!" and then years later somebody else went "Let's make lewd Mahjong again!"?
It's just that it's a popular game and people like tits. In America there are hundreds if not thousands of strip poker games... uh so I've been told
Iwata's Golf Easter egg has been removed in later updates
It says that in the video
Yup, we watched the video too... (edit: dang, beat me to it)
I can see that
I guess you commented before the video was over.
That Golf easter egg is really sweet :'(
The one about the guy accidentally putting two different color joy cons on the switch reminds me of the luigi commercial where luigi accidentally inverted the 3Ds color scheme
But Nintendo is being weird with censorship again, because they censored fire emblem encore for switch
Not really they said they were against 3rd party censorship which they have stopped. They never said anything about 1st party which is fine that's their own IP and own Artistic vision they can do what ever they like with it, not really censorship when its a change made by the artist itself. . Fire emblem is their IP so its fine. Going around telling other developers what they can and cant do in their own game is wrong. You understand the difference?
WHY DO YOU PRONOUNCE SENRAN KAGURA LIKE THAT
A lot of youtubers and reviewers can't pronounce Senran Kagura because it's "so Japanese"
@@GoodlyPenguin well that is an incredibly blunt way to put it, they're not wrong for saying that. Senran Kagura uses pronunciations that aren't inherent to English, so people who haven't gone out of their way to try to pronounce them correctly would have trouble with them. It would be like you trying to pronounce "Häyhä"
@@druidt8949 Senran Kagura is relatively easy to pronounce though. I'm not saying every person has to be correct in it's pronunciation but every person reviewing it doesn't look up how to pronounce things and it irks me. It's a small nitpick to me and it shouldn't be used as a negative tbh
A bigger question is, why was it mentioned twice? Because unless he’s referring to how the censorship will affect future titles in the franchise, to my knowledge there was only one Senran Kagura game that had been forced to be censored.
@@awkwardsilence4427 Well Senran Kagura 7 is delayed indefinitely since it's a Sony exclusive PS4 exclusive. Takaki, the director of SK, has since left Marvelous in protest of the game due to Sony's tyrannical censorship.
That outfit on Mythra is actually an alternate outfit that she wore during the "Torna the Golden Country" expansion and could be unlocked for the full game, I don't think I'd count that.
Research says the alternate outfit was done because of her censorship in Smash.
Oh man, that Iwata reference broke my heart
so we just arent going to talk about how the "interaction" minigame was taken out of fire emblem in the west?
Or the parts of Animal Crossing for the Gamecube and DS that were just straight-up removed for no reason ... technically it isn't censorship, but it's something.
This was about the Switch
@@66Kusmu True, true
...
I wonder if the switch is going to get a pro console like the New3DS.
7:29 Ah crap, not punishment time!
I've had enough experience with this to know that nothing good can possibly come from it.
I can't believe they removed the Iwata Easter egg. R.I.P Satoru
Yeah, Nintendo is generally anti-censorship, but sometimes they have no choice due to differing social norms between Japan and the West. They need certain games (most notably in the "Fire Emblem" and "Xenoblade" franchises) to maintain ratings in both Japan and the West as appropriate for their target teenage audiences, but that sometimes requires reworking of certain sexual content in order to obtain the desired ESRB and PEGI ratings, as the games wouldn't sell nearly as well if they were stuck with adult ratings in the West. (Whether or not they sometimes go further than necessary is a different argument.)
While not as commonly known, this also happens the other way around, as well. Violence isn't as socially accepted in Japan as it is in the West, so you'll sometimes see Western-developed, T-rated (by the ESRB) action games "censored" in the Japanese release in order to acquire the equivalent rating.
Speaking of the insane switch prices, it still amazes me that people will defend terrible switch ports and their costs like Payday 2.
Agreed. Or the fact that switch ports come out a year after they already released on other systems and they are at full price. Ridiculous honestly
One of the primary components of patent infringement is if the patent being accused is transformative enough to present a unique product to the consumer. Usually, this is done by comparing the patent summary of both to see how similar the wording is. While I haven't seen either one, I can only assume the Switch's made reference to all the extra features of the joycons beyond just being detachable controllers. That alone would give Gamevice very little ground to stand on, so I can only imagine the lawsuit was just to tie things up and hope for a settlement out of court.
6:36 That doesn't explain why Digital-only games are more expensive though.
Honestly toning down Bernadetta's line was a good move. The original version was way too intense. Wouldn't be surprised if it had given at least one child abuse survivor a PTSD attack.
that digital needs to be the same price as phys is so bogus.
The funny part is that Gamevice then proceeded to sell a set of controllers that could be attached to the sides of a smartphone, similar to how the joy-con connects to the Switch.
