      You should get in touch with Arlo I mean he would love to talk about this and he has a bigger platform I also think the message could reach Nintendo's ear's if you get someone bigger to talk about this stuff. And yes I did read this comment but you posting this means you most likely agree with the video itself.

    Last year, there was a fan game called “Mario Royale” that Nintendo ruthlessly took down after only a week of existing. The game was really fun. But that aside, I have no idea what “Mario 35” could be based off of. Nintendo wouldn’t shut down a fan game and then steal their idea to make their own game, right? RIGHT!?

      Nah, they don't do this. Like, they shut down roms sites in order to prevent emulation, and then, it was confirmed that Mario 64 and Sunshine were running as emulated ports on Switch. But it is just a coincidence that they created a Mario Royale after shutting down a fanmade Mario Royale. Nothing strange to me.

      Not quite, at least for me. There's one reason why:
      Nintendo doesn't buy other companies and destroy their product for their own gain.
      Before you say anything, yes, Nintendo did take down Mario Royale. However, being fair, Mario is their product. I don't like the decision, but it's a decision that I at least find fair. When you make a game using someone else's assets that they poured money and hard work into, it's fair for them to ask you to take it down.
      EA has destroyed several companies that had unique, and fun games (for example, Playfish) by buying the company who owns them and then canceling their games and redirecting you to play their games when you try to go back to those games.

    This is honestly a scary video. People are so attached to the brand that they will easily forgive things like this. I saw it when Pokemon Sword and Shield released: People will just gloss over obvious, objective flaws because it says Pokemon on it, reinforcing the fact that developers, publishers etc. never have to put effort again in their products, be it quality wise or in other consumer friendly ways. Nintendo limiting the release of this collection is just another stamp on the ticket. People love Nintendo, they will buy it and not even see it as the issue that it clearly is, and Nintendo knows it.

      Why should I buy a nintendo virtual console game if the roms are easily accessible? That's why Nintendo takes a hammer to rom sites like Emuparadise. It makes their old games more exclusive when they finally rerelease them- especially if they put a limited time frame on them to buy them.

      People Making Nintendo Emulators and Nintendo ROMs are Helping Publishers by Making Old Games Available that are No Longer Being Sold by the Copyright Owner. This Does Not Hurt Anyone and Allows Gamers to Play Old Favorites. What's the Problem?
      The problem is that it's illegal. Copyrights and trademarks of games are corporate assets. If these vintage titles are available far and wide, it undermines the value of this intellectual property and adversely affects the right owner. In addition, the assumption that the games involved are vintage or nostalgia games is incorrect. Nintendo is famous for bringing back to life its popular characters for its newer systems, for example, Mario and Donkey Kong have enjoyed their adventures on all Nintendo platforms, going from coin-op machines to our latest hardware platforms. As a copyright owner, and creator of such famous characters, only Nintendo has the right to benefit from such valuable assets.

If they keep this pace up the switch will have like 20 big games at the end of its lifespan and 50 more overpriced ports of old games. I would be pretty disappointed especially compared to other consoles that have way more big games to play. Nintendo always had less big titles but it's really getting ridiculous.

They are learning that greed is good, quality doesn't matter just get the money and worry later, and keep vital features like the Virtual Console, web browser, and personalization settings like avatars, chat, and wallpaper keep them out of gamer hands and keep artificially inflating demand by creating a limited run game then taking the money and getting even more down the line in DLC and online.

Therefore, they wanted a guaranteed way to make it sell which is the mind game that you will miss it out unless you buy it now.

      They always drip feed their content. It creates a higher demand and intrinsically increases the value. This is why old nintendo games don't get cheaper. If anything they get more expensive.
      Twilight princess and skyward sword for the wii are both still $60 and not even in HD. Both are zelda games, nintendo's most successful and renound (behind mario ofc.) Both are older than the last of us. Playstations most successful series (debatable, but I'm pretty sure tlou2 sold more copies than any ps exclusive ever, so there's that.) Yet the last of us is available completely remasted in HD, for a grand total of $15.
      Again.
      Twilight princess, 2006, not even HD on the wii, $60.
      The last of us, 2013, remastered for ps4 in HD, $15.
      Tbh, nintendo may seem really self righteous for the way they present their games... but they've sort of earned it. The zelda and mario series are both over 30 years old, and every main entry of both series' hold up, and still somehow occasionally break the gaming community.
      Breath of the wild case and point. And to a lesser degree, Mario odyssey. Nintendo has one thing even the best playstation games don't. The nintendo polish. They excessively check their games for any problems, they pace them seamlessly, and they always start game developmemt with a new core mechanic, which is basically worked on to the point of perfection then implemented as the "gimmick". Then the rest of the game is built out from that.
      Usually it works out for them. But even when it doesn't... you'll never get the same idea sold to you twice with them. At the very least, each game introduces a completely original gameplay experience, and almost without fail it's going to be fun af. Even if you only play it once.
      That makes every purchase worth it to me. That's the mark of a company you can trust. They're the most innovative out there and you can't dispute that.
      That type of game making is so high risk for any company not willing to put the work into the polish such as nintendo, and especially when they don't have the reputation of nintendo to secure most people atleast trying it. So it's always a win win for me.

    The limited time offer is something Blizzard does aswell with their WoW ingame shop. It forces people to buy the product now so they don't miss out on it. However limited time offer does not mean they can't take it up later again which is what they are going to do. It's a trick to get more people buying it now and not missing out on people buying it later at the same time. However people buying it sooner is better than later since they can use the money right now and due to inflation lowering the value of the money later.
    It's a scummy thing and I'm tired of people seeing different developers as "the good guys" : (Nintendo) and others as the "the bad guys": (EA , Activision etc.)

    This is why emulation will never go away. They can shut down the emuparadises all they want, but there will always be torrents, there will always be small-time sites popping up in the far corners of the internet that you can grab ROMs off of. You'll always have users sharing ROMs over various file transfer sites, Discord, etc. No matter what, they cannot kill the ROM sharing community. Well, okay. There is one way. They could just make all the games reasonably obtainable without stupid loopholes, deadlines, limited availability, monthly fees, etc. Just one-time reasonable price per rom. All NES games should be $5, SNES games $8, N64, $12 and GC games $15.
    I'd probably eventually buy the whole library of games that I own in cartridge format or have played at one time or another.
    But no. They aren't smart enough to do that. So I'll continue emulating.

I'm still annoyed that on the NES virtual library, I can't reconfigure the B and A buttons to Y and B, seeing as most, if not all modern controllers have a 4-button layout, and this would feel a lot more comfortable to play with a Switch controller. Instead they want me to fork out money for a Switch-compatible NES controller. No thanks, I'd rather just boot up my old NES instead.

    Edit: hey everyone, I just want to point out that someone in the replies said they made the 2d all stars was limited too, and this recent cause is making me call nintendo a bad company, I just want to say three things:
    1. Yes this is 3 weeks late, I'm sorry.
    2. While yes, I do understand the limited physical copies, but for nintendo to make the digital copy limited, too, is very stupid
    3. I'm not calling nintendo anti-consumer for just this cause. They have done some really bad anti-consumer moves. Like the online mode, for instance. Now I know this issue has been grinded to the center of the earth, but I will say this, if I have to buy an extension to improve my online, and it's still shitty, and nintendo is showing no signs of even trying to improve the online system, while knowing people are still gonna buy the subscription anyway, is very greedy and inconsiderate.

    Honestly, you can say what you want about the Wii U, but the Virtual Console on that system was phenomenal. Games spanning NES, SNES, N64, GBA, DS, Wii and more all available for ridiculously low prices, advertised heavily on the front page and in dedicated sections, supporting save states and modern controllers, and, most importantly, coming out regularly. The fact that the Switch insists on pursuing these hideously anti-consumer practices (taking down ROM sites, touting limited release periods, channeling everything through subscriptions etc.), and then won't even put in the effort to make remakes and re-releases of some of their most prestigious titles is utterly baffling to me, and is one of the main reasons I haven't picked up a Switch yet, and most likely never will. An extremely disappointing turn of events - I'm glad we have videos like yours to call Nintendo out on this.

      Nintenfo is in the fault for taking on rom hack sites? Literally they only take down the ones where you could get the game for free. Off course they take it down. That's why dolphin emulator is still up. Because at that point they are just emulating there own game

      @@savagejack5714 I never said they were in the wrong for taking down ROM sites, let alone hack sites - what is unacceptable is Nintendo not providing consumers with another way to gain access to legacy content. If the company actually put some effort into rebuilding the Virtual Console and stop pursuing anti-consumer practices, then there wouldn't be a problem - the problem is that people are being forced into subscribing to a system they don't want to be a part of. If Nintendo isn't going to release old games independently of limited releases and overpriced bundles, then these ROM sites are the only means by which people can escape the system. Of course Nintendo is allowed to turn a profit, but not at the cost of destroying their integrity. I think you just misunderstood the point I was making.

    Nintendo for a while has been the gaming company that puts out pretty consistently nice content but does a lot of weird stuff. I agree with your points and I continue to be frustrated by joy con drift, which should've got fixed years ago. By this point, though, I see the gaming market as such a predatory place due to all the other publishers that even with what Nintendo is doing they still feel like the good guys. I'm praying they don't go the same route one of my other favorite gaming companies, Blizzard, did. I'd rather not watch my favorite IPs leap onto sawblades, flail about in sulphuric acid, get rolled over by a Chinese tank, then get blasted to bits by artillery yet again, thank you very much.

      paco ramon I don’t want to look like a Nintendo fanboy, but I need to comment on some of this things.
      -Barely any new games since 2018? What the hell are you talking about? 2018 was a bit of a dry year. But there have been more than enough games that have come since that year.
      -Nintendo doesn’t have the best graphics, but they have great style! BOTW, Mario Odyssey, and Smash are all gorgeous games! Pokémon looks terrible, yes. But that’s one game, and Nintendo didn’t even make Pokémon Sword and Shield. Game Freak makes Pokémon games.
      -Overpriced DLCs? Like what? The most expensive DLC I can think of is $20. And you actually get good content that FEELS like extra content. Like the Octo Expansion and BOTW. They’re one hundred times better with DLC than almost every other game company in existence.
      -What DLC or season passes are you referring to for ports of old games? And how are they bad? DLC isn’t inherently bad. It’s only bad when the main game is lacking and the expensive DLC is supposed to make up for that.
      Again, I don’t want to seem like a fanboy. I agree with your other points. The shitty online is outrageous and unacceptable, the ports are annoying and overpriced, and they’re so frustrating with how they treat their legacy content. They’re also annoying with how much they don’t listen to their fans, and how out of touch they are.

    They never planned on making their 35th Anniversary titles, COVID forced them to push out games to keep money rolling in. They’ve 100% done it to sell more copies that it otherwise would, so many people will have bought it off the notion that they won’t have the chance to six months later - and what if they want it after it’s gone?
    Nintendo have done it to ensure 2020 keeps money coming in, but 2021 brings in money for the real games they’re wanting to push. They’re spreading out people expenses and purchases. Most people never have every game they want, their top 3 most wanted games list constantly changes. I can think of dozens of games I wanted when I was younger but skipped on because when I was allowed a new game I had to pick which one, not buy all 5.

    I went on a rant on Discord a little while back about Nintendo's re-releases - It's getting to be that time of the century where copyrights and such are starting to expire, and thus Nintendo will start to lose control on some of their older games in due time. I think they're actively re-releasing stuff to future-proof their catalog from copyright loss, and in the process keep a pretty strong grip on emulation policies - I used to use "Vizzed" as a ROM and emulation site for a while until they got Nintendo'd pretty hard.
    Now, I do imagine someone's gonna come at me with "Well what about all the other recent releases, hmm?" to which I answer that they just don't come off anywhere near as striving for control. The Crash and Spyro remakes, (my personal favorite) the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection (I forget what its price was on the Switch but on Steam it's $30 - that's for *6* games and a fair amount of bonus content on top of that), they feel like they were made with the fans in mind, like they add some really meaningful stuff to the original games. Nintendo's rereleases, not so much.
    (Btw just a mild tangent, Capcom's amazing about their PR about emulation and such, I have only ever seen them go down hard on *one* fan project - "Shanghai.exe", a mixture of their Battle Network series and ZUN's Touhou Project - and that was because the original developer had set up a Patreon for the project; they were mad about the monetization more than anything else. Some other people picked up the project from where he left, except without monetizing the project, and right now it's in almost a fully-complete state!)

      ​@@jaydenc367 To answer:
      - The main issue right now is 3D All-Stars, their other rerelease compilations are alright, but Nintendo's been, off as of late. The very limited time window to go and buy the game is one of the things that's throwing me (and the dollars-per-game ratio is rather high, like the Rare Replay collection is 1:1 for $30; there was also an Uncharted collection for remasters of that series, and while that one _did_ start at 20:1 for $60 too, they eventually dropped it down to $20 overall). Plus, as I've stated, Nintendo's rather hard on people when it comes to copyrights.
      - I will give you some credit here, as copyrights typically hold up for as long as the author lives, then 70 years after they pass away, so it _can_ last over a century, so you're not wrong there.

    2. Nintendo *probably* have a new 3D Mario game in the works (I would guess Odyssey 2, though it's also possible they might be following up the 3D World series) and might be worried about these anniversary titles self-competing.
    Both are *BAD* excuses for the limited-time selling, don't get me wrong, but that's probably the why.

      another thing to add is alot of info is curculating bout 64 games comming to switch online which has some lvl of creedence due to data mining and whatnot so i have a feeling this bundle is limited time purely for that reason??? also another rumour ive heard is this game collection is being used to test how wii games and 64 games can be ported as 64 used the MIPS architecture which was ditched for the reason of it was just utter garbage especially in comparison the titans of powerPC, x86 and arm (arm being the incumbent architecture) thus porting ive heard can be a real nightmare and as the community has proven emulation is not fun for the 64 as the customised use of MIPS makes the 64 inherently hard to work with if u dont have official hardware and to an extent software even nintendo i think has struggled as the 64 was a very powerful console for its time thus emulation is not great and direct ports are messy and time consuming, with the wii tho powerPC might be dead but it plays nicer with arm for a start so the issue lies in the control setup for the wii and how that would map to a vastly different console ie the price might be high but i think more has happened behind the scenes than we can see to get this to work so my honest opinion is the port of galaxy is a test for how well wii games will port to the switch and i guess future consoles, cos honestly i remember the atempt made with the ds on the wii u and i think they dont want to do that one again cos it wasnt the greatest in practice so i think really we who purchase are actually the ginniepigs for when they inevitably release these games as part of online later on XD

      The 60$ price tag is _objectively_ steep (if you use Nintendo's most recent pricings for these games as reference, and even if you don't assume any price decay has happened since and don't make any discount for a bundle purchase ~40$ is the "fair" price) but I don't take major issue with it.
      The three games in the bundle are massive releases with a lot of content, and Mario 64 in particular is one of the most important games ever made, so charging a premium pricetag isn't out of the question IMO, much like how Nintendo take a while to decay their prices on new releases- It's a right they get to invoke because their release standards are usually so high.

      DarthVaderReviews but I mean even if u weren’t talking about the price tag,I think the price tag has something to do with the limited purchase as I said these games are important and loved by a lot of people and since it’s all gonna be in one package,they obviously couldn’t have made it permant digital.Like it was too good to be true since it’s Nintendo at the end of the day
