I think Etika is more worried about his friend Cobanermani456 than anything else right now. he is losing his mind and is threatening to hurt and kill people.
@@Dogmaguy74 For the past 3 months he's been plotting to get revenge on his friends and a woman he stalked a couple of years ago by doxxing and threatening them. He has two channels both called Coban Erpersonnel with videos of him spewing psycho babble about people taking advantage of him because of his mental disorder, threatening to hurt/kill people like Christine because he thinks she killed Etika and other crazy stuff. It's extremely chilling to hear how unhinged he is, way worse than Etika. It's sad knowing that over the 2 years he's been gone he hasn't gotten better, I don't know what he thinks he'll gain from doing this but if someone doesn't step in to stop him history could repeat itself.
Sold my Switch today as this was the final push for me. Some people may say this is too far, but this was my choice and I couldn't be happier. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. Thanks again for the video, Retro. Much love!
@@hugejackedman3447 Unless I missed something, there is no Charity "Event". Dude bought Joycons (that money going to Nintendo), maybe JoyconBoyz skins, and sold them to people, and was going to donate the money to a mental health charity. There was no event. He was literally giving Nintendo his money, making some cool skins for the Joycons he bought, and gave the money he made selling those Joycons he bought and customized to a charity about mental health. All your nonsense about charity events has nothing to do with this controversy.
I remember the day when Desmonds death broke out, sorry for my crude example, like a fucking nam flashback. I remember finding out while exiting a wallmart parking lot, and that 20 minute drive getting home was the longest in my life. I was depressed for 2 entire weeks. And I was planning to get this for Christmas as a momento of his legacy, but that can't happen anymore. This is absolutely disgusting on nintendos part as a company and from a humanitarian perspective. Fuck nintendo I will no longer support them for the foreseeable future until they fix their wrongdoings.
Damn, the big heads at Nintendo really going full on Yakuza with this shit. It's really sad to see tbh, especially when you consider Iwata's vision when he was the president of Nintendo... 😞💖 Bless the man Etika (Desmond Amofah), we'll always continue to love him 🖤🙏🏿🖤 #JoyconBoyzForever
Yeah I also feel like they're doing this because of what happened in the Smash scene this summer. It seems to me that everyone forgot about it so I can't blame Nintendo for shutting fan stuff down. I don't agree with it because not everyone is like that and those who did those things are gone but I understand why they don't want anything to do with them. It's still bad press though.
A RUclipsr named Haedox said it best years ago on his twitter page. "I love Nintendo as a game developer but not as a company." Those words still speak the truth to this day.
Absolutely, their games are absolutely amazing, and they're the only reason I still buy Nintendo stuff, I love the games, but my god Nintendo as a company is just baffling
4:00 put simply, the equivalent of ragnarok happens in the smash and general nintendo community. Another part of ragnarok is that it gets better afterwards, but clearly not in this timeline...
@@afrogenix Spent a couple of hours looking at his videos and people talking about what happened... honestly that is far more important than Etika Joycons Nintendo isn't okay with.

I feel like a lot of people didn't watch the video fully. Especially at 3:54 talking about the Smash community. Though off-topic it was necessary to say. I'm not saying to agree with Nintendo of America but this definitely gives a better understatement of why they're doing all of this in the first place. I also heard that the Etkia Joycons can/will still be sold as long as they take out the word joycons. But at the end of the day, I'm not picking sides cause nobody is winning during or after this. The way how I see it both sides have reasons to be upset and take action, but no one is handling it well. 2020 has been destructive and I'm not going stress over this. You and others have every right to be upset, for me I just feel like it isn't worth it given this year as a whole. Glad to see you back on YT Retro, make this year a bit better for me.
in regards to the joy con thing, I think the fact that it's changing the actual controllers casing and re-selling it is probably what Nintendo is focusing on. Unfortunately the fact that proceeds are going to charity doesn't matter when it comes to "copyright"
@@toxicityCA I'm going through CaptainAlex's thread right now and he's talking about probably redesigning the cotroller from saying "JoyConBoyz" into something else. I think that's the best option.
We back 💪🏾. The post by the guy who made the Etikacons did state he did infringe on the copyright. By law, he is in the wrong. But I still feel like what you said about Nintendo pulling back from the smashing thing was probably the overall trigger to this. Cause Etika's death shook the whole ass Internet. Post videos everywhere. You could not escape it. When these were made Nintendo never pulled shit. This shit was popular and money was going to the places that needed it. But now after the smash shit, Nintendo really is pulling a Control F4 on everything. This is all just crazy and sad right now. 😔
Content creation has gotten much easier over the years. The thing is that Nintendo has always been against mods, ROM hacks, and such. We know this and yet people still get mad when they enforce their policies. It might be excessive, but that’s how it is.
earlier today the guy who made the etika joycon shells tweeted out that he is going to start a indiegogo to try to get money that he can use to make new etika joycons without the joyconboyz wording on it and replace it with some other wording related to etika
Nintendo has been trying to kill the smash competitive scene time and time again over the years, there are video out there breaking it all down but it wasn’t cause of the competitive youtubers and them having talks with minors that they shouldn’t and such, this has been happening behind the scene many times.
it's been years and years of nintendo pulling dow the competitive community not just now for the past incidents, it might fuel it but also splatoon has nothing to do with that and even less the eticons like it has no relation with those incidents but nintendo still nuking everyone
I mean we should never be all buddy buddy with corporations, I know peeps say Sony wins or Microsoft and etc. but shoot I never get that close with a corporation, I guess my mindset has allowed me to not be so offended by this since I felt like this would officially happen. The melee thing was maybe understandable but the Eticons is kinda too much, I can think of maybe a reason to why they won’t allow it but I think it’s too touchy to discuss but it’s a custom item so it’s weird that Nintendo wants to rid of them, I mean at that point get on the Etsy sellers that do the same thing.
Man nintendo is really messing up lately I really don't understand why are they doing this now why don't they want fan support like sega I really feel bad for the social media people at nintendo that have to deal with bad business management
Makes sense why they doing this but like fuck. Is it really hurting them. Only people who where apart of the etika community would get these. It's not like a stranger would stumble upon this.
etika was the reason I got a switch and seeing how nintendo did this I cant support them anymore cause he was the reason I like the switch but nintendo just doesnt get it
I feel like the events that happened over the summer, is a big factor as to Nintendo distancing themselves from the community. But even so, this is handling it in a bad way. At this point, their tarnishing their own reputation
The melee thing makes perfect sense as to why did that as for the splatoon stream they Could have simply threatened to disqualify teams using the hashtag instead of outright cancelling the whole stream. Far as the joycons go Nintendo is completely 100% wrong
Nintendo looses its fans due to their ingorance . Sony looses Japanese developers due to ceonsorship. Those developers fled to Microsoft. Xbox series x outsells the PS5 in Japan. I think we have a great start
Just take me back to the Gamecube/ Game Boy Advance days. Those were the good days for me being a Nintendo fan. Can't believe this is how they're gonna start the new year.
I threw away my Nintendo shirts, sold my huge Switch collection, and am selling my mini consoles for cheap to get rid of them quickly. I'm done with this evil company. Too many bad moves from them and the Joycons were the straw that broke the camel's back. I can't support a company that shuts down charities, especially ones that deal with suicide prevention. Fuck them.
I completely disagree that the sexual predators in the community are a major factor in Nintendo's behavior. Nintendo has been pulling shit similar to this for a decade at least, shutting down tournaments, fan products, fan games, etc. This is nothing new and we shouldn't ignore history and pretend like this is a recent development.

It’s messed up on how Nintendo did that during the holidays. They’re the real Grinch.
Let's hope it gets the same happy ending like that
They didn't the DCMA was in September.

It feels like 3 4 years
Look I just hope Nintendo can redeem themselves in 2021
I never thought I would miss a content creator or famous person after their death, but Etika I miss so much.
retro you are on fire with these videos! keep up the strong pace!
This has been a weird year to be a Nintendo fan first we had mario 3d all stars, Steve in smash, etc now we have this shit
Missed your uploads boi

who the hell in the nintendo PR department wants them to be the new EA like it's a title to be proud of?

Is it really hurting them.
Only people who where apart of the etika community would get these. It's not like a stranger would stumble upon this.
JOYCON M E N.
The Etika joy cons should have been licensed like Power A controllers
Then the lawsuit would have been avoided if they would JUST LICENSE IT
Nintendo were completely in their legal right to do so
Why not take it to court? Nintendo not owning Joyconboyz is a legit statement.
etika was the reason I got a switch and seeing how nintendo did this I cant support them anymore cause he was the reason I like the switch but nintendo just doesnt get it
THAT INTRO 🥵🥵
nintendo JUST started to do this? just imagine how many have been sold by now. unless they have just started to sell and im getting mixed up.
Let's be honest all gaming companies don't care they only want 1 thing

I miss him too 😢 😔
WHAT?!
