the Nintendo cycle: - make great game that everyone likes - good PR moment while iron is hot - make the most random corporate decision that just hurts the reputation of the company - cover it up with announcement - wait and repeat
Also: - refuses to remake/port beloved games to modern platforms (or simply allows people to buy old games) - is willing to destroy anyone who emulates those games
there are two ways of having the tallest tower in the world. 1) you build the tallest tower in the world. 2) you build a tower, then destroy any tower taller than yours.

The way Mario grabs every coin he sees, and the way Kirby kills little creatures that aren’t even trying to be a threat are very indicative of Nintendo as a company
The way Link walks into peoples homes and steals their only income. The way Pokemon trainers force their enemies to give them cash as a reward for beating them up. The way Donkey Kong hoards all these uneaten bananas in a dark dingy cave (where they will most certainly rot) and then beats up K.Rool and all his minions for daring to redistribute those bananas to the public. Like father, like son, as they say.
Wii: We have a shop where you can purchase from our entire library of old games. WiiU: We have a shop where you can purchase from our entire library of old games. 3DS: We have a shop where you can purchase from our entire library of old games. Switch: So for $50 a year, we’ll give you access to like 20 old games on a bunch of old systems and add a random title no one has heard of once every 6 months.
That's just not true tho. The wii one was good, but they removed some ganes like donkey kong country. 3ds was also good, but nintendo refused to sell gba games. Wii u was bad tho, the games were basically the same ones from the wii vc but you had to pay for them again and the emulation was of poor quality. The switch has the best retro library atm, even with the wierd subscription model.
In the WiiU era Nintendo actually briefly tried different modern things including uploading directly to RUclips. I did that with Mario Kart 8. Then when the WiiU failed they abandoned that entirely and one day I logged into RUclips to discover Nintendo had copyright claimed Mario Kart videos their own console uploaded.

Emulation will never actually die, the takedown on ryujinx does nothing as the project will just be forked and rebuilt 100 times over now, the original files are still available. all they have done is show once again that they hate people who like their products.
Makes you wonder, with such a evil company, can there be something done? Even if not, this shit is absurd and ridiculous. A emulator shouldnt be able to be taken down, as emulation is NOT illegal, yet they still get their way. I don’t understand. Emulating is literally legal. Still this shit happens.
@@Zeziliath It's because they threaten the owners/teams of these projects. Basically, the team/owner of the emulator would have to go to court to prove they did not break laws. They would probably even win, but Nintendo is so wealthy, they could drag out the court endlessly, costing them insane amounts in court and lawyer fees. It would bankrupt them into the ground. Then there's the fact that Nintendo's lawyers are so good, Nintendo could even possibly win the case, which could potentially set a nasty horrible precedent for emulation law. Risking emulation law?.. It becomes not worth it in the end, for the money cost, or the potential of losing effecting law precedent, so they shut down the emulator. Only if someone really wealthy backed an emulation team getting sued could this really challenge Nintendo.

@@Zeziliath People shouldn't buy their products and make a statements which is impossible at the moment since Nintendo has a good track record with games. They have to do some Sony level of f up for their new gen console to feel that sting.
its hilarious they think that going to the current lead of the project and making a deal to shut it down will stop the emulator. They are so out of touch they dont understand what github and how these are worked on. Okay you remove teh most prevalant person well guess what all the people working on it doing coding etc will just continue on under a new name new fork etc. And if anything this incentizes more people to work on it.

I watched someone, I can’t remember who, that did a 100% completion run of Pokemon emerald. While he played on an emulator, he decided he was guying to buy all the shit needed to play the game and 100% it. His total came out to over $1000 on the lower estimates. From the GBA to the trading cables to the games themselves (needing the Gen 1 remakes and Emerald and Ruby/Sapphire) to special event cards on eBay that haven’t been distributed by Nintendo in decades. You also need a GameCube/Wii, a viable controller, and Pokemon Coliseum and Pokemon XD as well as NO LONGER IN SERVICE software to transfer between GameCube and the GBA to complete Emerald’s Pokédex (needing some technical messing around with services and changing WIFI shit to use a jailbreaker) Subtracting those special event Pokemon, from the cost it was still wildly expensive. And none of the money spent on this project to 100% complete Pokemon Emerald ever went to Nintendo because they didn’t sell any of it.

There should be a law that says that copyright no longer applies when the holder is not selling or otherwise making the game/movie/whatever available to consumers to buy.
Too bad most of them are sell outs to business people. Nothing you guys can do about it, except with petition. Just saying, there should be anti-trust lawsuits against them because those game doesn’t exist anymore.
While something like that would be able to keep behaviour like Nintendo's under check, this seems like it would hit small creators even harder, by forcing them to have to market their works constantly to retain their rights when they might not have the capacity or time to take on that marketing effort on top of their regular work. Not to mention how many artists make one-time artworks that remain with one buyer at a time rather than posting them online to the internet-such artists might end up being able to do nothing against waves of counterfeits if their original work was kept privately, since they wouldn't be keen on continuously reproducing that artwork. The way the current law in the States seems to deal with it is that copyright NEEDS to be registered if you want to commence litigation in a federal court over it (although registration isn't necessary for copyright to exist). However, sending takedown notices doesn't need any kind of registration-though once again, making registration compulsory wouldn't affect big companies with the funds for it, it'd probably mainly have an impact on smaller creators.
Nintendo actively doesnt want people to play those old games. The argument that if it was available for a reasonable price you wouldnt pirate doesnt work here, because it isnt neglect or obsolence that limits access but actually the wishes of the owner.
@@Xeo_AOver a large sample size he means. If a piracy service requires a lot of steps to go through then people are not going to use it if buying and playing official means are just better. Take the Switch’s eshop for example. Many newer games on it barely run at a decent fps or temp. TOTK being a prime example. Switch online is considered slow as molasses, and it being the only way to have saves in case your switch data is unrecoverable. For 3ds there is litterally no way to officially buy the games for the console, and if it’s online you are just out of luck since the official servers for 3ds are long gone. People use emulators to get around these issues, and is why games like mario kart 7 are still being played. Steam on the other hand can run on any hardware, has great online support, and is very convenient in several ways (free online cloud saves meaning you won’t lose all your save data, ability to play on multiple devices, superior friend system, etc.). Steam itself as a company actively encourages modding too.
@@LuminousreignYou might want to reread your comment. (Paraphrasing here) “The argument that if it was available with a fair price it wouldn’t be pirated doesn’t work here” “Because it’s not available since the creators don’t want to re-release it” You see how the first part is rooted on the fact that people would buy the emulators if it were released. And that second point you made doesn’t affect the first part in anyway?
@@YuubiTimberwolf Bowser is the best Mario character and if he saw what Nintendo was doing to fans he'd say "HEY!!! NINTENDO!!! LEAVE THE FANS ALONE YOU LUNKHEADS!!!"
Nintendo is just out of touch with how much the internet has grown and the changes that have been made. They just see mario on something that they don't own and they say "send in the cease and desist."
Nintendo doesn't even need to see Mario. They sent Drawfee a dmca for selling a t-shirt of possum wearing a mushroom labelled "Todd from Mario". It looks nothing like any of Nintendo's intellectual properties, but because they made a joke about it being "from Mario" Nintendo went draconian on their ass. Just the mention of Mario was enough.
I just found out that these recent attacks may be from trolls abusing the RUclips system and not Nintendo. KazeClips has info on it. But long story short, Nintendo got informed of these takedowns and said that the email used was not their's and the details do not align with their enforcement practices. They also said they will be investigating further. So here's a chance for Nintendo to use their legal team for good.
It’s funny cause that’s why they made the GameCube disks smaller than regular cd’s so that you couldn’t play burnt games like you could on the PS and Xbox lol. Nintendo is scared shitless of piracy or anything consumer friendly tbh
@@jacobross735 completely disagree. Theyre arent afraid of anything. Theyre an evil company taking advantage of their countries horrific copyright laws. And for some reason, the US legal system abides by them, despite it being contrary to US laws.
@@jacobross735you needed unique burners for Xbox and PS and of that era anyways The unique part for GameCube was you needed unique discs instead And unless you buy those discs directly from a manufacturer it was hard to get them without a large cost so piracy wasn’t cost effective (if your spending like 20 dollars per disc may as well just spend the extra 10 for the original disc type of thing)
@@jacobross735yes. They chose cartridges for the N64 over CDs because of their fear of piracy. They will actively sabotage their own consoles to fight piracy.
They have just added the terms of service from digital games to everything. Buying things now means you don't even own them. It's sort of scary when money being able to purchase something stops having any meaning.
If Nintendo were to be in NASCAR or Formula 1 or something of the like, they'd be literally the ONLY racer with a goddamn heat-seeking RPG and will happily fire it on anyone that passes them. Including the pace car, the pit crew, the race officials, ANYONE. And people are still surprised by this? Just bracing myself for the simps.
This reminds me of a quote GabeN once said: "The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates."
Nintendo definitely could release all its discontinued games and resell it to other platforms like to PC or other console via the famous game providers like Steam, Epic, and PS Store so Nintendo could earn far more revenue out of it. But they are refused to do it and instead they sue anyone who tried to play their older game that has no longer available officially
@@sihamhamda47a lot of their revenue come from the sale of the switch and their games being locked to it. That’s the reason why Nintendo games have always been Nintendo exclusive, because they sacrifice hardware specs for innovation with their unique IPs making all the money.
Yeah but their current gen service is suffering from a hardware problem.. they can't just upgrade peoples Switch hardware for free. They could halve the graphics i guess? We could get high performance ps2 graphics instead.
Every time with this shit: "I wanna play this game, so I'm gonna download it!" *"No, you can't do that!"* "Why not?" *"Because we made the game and it's our intellectual property, we deserve to get money for it, and by pirating it you're essentially stealing our profits."* "Okay, fair enough. How much do you want for it?" *"Oh, we're not selling it."*
100% true. I'm not that big of a Nintendo in terms of games, but copyright is so stupid when it's a situation like this because there is literally no other way to play the game besides emulation because they don't sell it anymore but they are still able to say its our "property" so you can't do that because we want money for it but they don't sell it so thay can't make money from it
Artificial scarcity is literally the core of capitalism. There's just as much profit to be made by withholding stuff from people as there is by making it.
@@RainerRilke3 That's an oversimplification. Intellectual property is "artificially" scarce, yes. Physical goods and services however are _legitimately_ scarce, they are finite - which is a core reason trade even exists.
fair point that games not being currently directly profited off of need to eventually be ported to modern platforms, however i think nintendo is slowly accomplishing that. yes it’s missing a lot, but they have been expanding the library a lot, regardless of how. also this statement just doesn’t really work with ryujinx being taken down because it’s a switch emulator, one that they are still selling and profiting off of… LOL
You know what almost killed the whole emulation scene? The Wii and it's eShop. There were still rom sites and emulators being worked on but there was so little motivation to do it when vast libraries for many old consoles were easily available.
It really didn't though. Nintendo's emulation has always been utter crap compared to what their community makes. Sure, emulation might have stagnated, but it'd never be killed. Nintendo isn't competent enough, nor rich enough, to achieve that.
@@MorganSaph It’s not about achieving total annihilation, but instead cornering the market. Think about it in a different way. Why do some governments choose to legalize select drugs? Yes, it’s for control of supply and quality, but a more important underlying reason is taxation. Think motive, not action. Nintendo wants you to buy Nintendo Switch Online. That is the goal here, pure and simple. NSO is a decently large and (key word) recurring revenue that, given the considerable install base of the Switch, cannot be ignored. Emulation essentially voids NSO as a concept; once you have the files, you own the games themselves for life. No reason to spend money every month for something you can get for free, and so easily at that. It’s the control over their intellectual property they’re after, and it makes sense from a corporate standpoint. Whether a bad PR move or a cold-hearted execution, Nintendo doesn’t care. They are a company, and companies care about the bottom line. It’s not about vendettas. Of course, that’s just an explanation of the logic behind it. I agree with said logic, but not the enforcement of their principles. If they want to control emulation, and ultimately increase NSO subscriptions, then they should compete with it. Instead of drip-feeding games over several years, make them available all at once. Oh, emulation is still free? Well, how about a price reduction? How about loyalty deals, or better perks? How about an emulator that doesn’t run like garbage? How about better servers for online games? Instead of supporting devs, they hand their money to overpaid corporate lawyers, whilst simultaneously destroying their public image. Utterly senseless. Ultimately, it makes sense why they do the things they do… but yet it doesn’t. Maybe one day things will change, although I doubt it considering their abhorrent track record thus far.
oh theyre absolutely rich enough. They have the money to create near perfect emulators if they wanted to. They just dont care enough to actually do it. Their lack of funds really isn't the issue here@MorganSaph
i really want them to bring out some sort of nintendo switch pro. one that doesn’t have a smaller screen but still can run all the games to a better capacity. like. have u ever tried playing ANY game on a switch. it’s literally impossible. it runs out after 2 hours, overheats, gets loud with the fans, and the graphics struggle to load. or. make a switch that has the smaller screen but as soon as you plug it into the doc, it uses the doc as the main power source, not just a hdmi caster/charger. it can’t be that hard to do for them. i’ve seen many people requesting a similar thing too, like. a lot. i just don’t wanna play fortnite and the graphics struggle to load when landing every game and the graphics so low, the enemy look like 12 pixels.
What is happening in this current video game generation? Nintendo’s being petty more often, Sony’s being greedy and barely has any new games, Microsoft barely has any new games and Ubisoft may go bankrupt.
This is why I like sega they actually allow their fans to be passionate about their games making fan projects, most better than the actual games, and even provided their own genesis emulator all the way back in 1998-1999, and they actively support and listen to their community.
The timing is impecable. Max removed 6ish cartoon network shows, including Regular Show and Gumball. You can't stream it anywhere. You can't buy it from them directly (easily at least). So physical sales would be 2nd hand and no money would go to Warner Bros anyway. No ethical way to watch these shows outside of reruns on cable
Remember, this is the same company that tried to sue Blockbuster for reprinting old manuals of used games. They are capital L Losers. (They lost that lawsuit btw)
The manual lawsuit was Nintendo's revenge lawsuit, and they actually won it. The original lawsuit, the one Nintendo lost, was to stop Blockbuster from being able to rent out games to begin with. After that loss they just wanted to hurt Blockbuster in some way or make their service worse. Hence the manual lawsuit.
@@NoExplosionsMcgee That was the industry as a whole, not just Nintendo (Sega was involved as well) But even so, they still have loopholes, like how you can buy a game for full price, and get a 'special' deal that, if you return it in X amount of days, you get most of your money back.
@@nicocchi It has happened and Nintendo is like "DON'T HAVE FUN PLAYING OUR GAMES!!! CEASE AND DESIST!!" Next they'll attack anyone cosplaying as Nintendo characters. And given the fact I cosplay as a bunch of Nintendo characters....yikes! O_O
Lol. For protecting themselves from the scum of the earth trying to steal their work? Emulators themselves aren't illegal. Just don't make Nintendo games compatible. That's illegal. Simply.
@@ZelX-Emulating and playing emulated games is not illegal either. It’s the piracy of downloading illegal games that Nintendo wants to stop. But they take the route of taking out emulators entirely despite the fact that most emulators aren’t using any nintendo technology or coding in order to work. They’re built from the ground up to do the same thing as the consoles do. Ryujinx and I believe Yuzu as well wouldn’t even work if you didn’t have a Nintendo Switch to dump your console data from. Going after emulators is not the solution to piracy. Making a better product, a more accessible product, and making the tools to emulate widely available are how you stop piracy.
Nah, you give them any sort of timer, they will abuse the shit out of it. Just look at how much Disney extended copyright protection over the decades in an effort to not lose copyright over Mickey Mouse. Sure, they're starting to fall behind now, but in the time they weren't they extended copyright to 120 years, which will now remain the status quo for the foreseeable future and stifle creativity for who knows how long (And that's assuming Disney doesn't start lobbying for longer copyright protection again after some time passes and their more recent stuff starts being threatened). You make that emulation law 10 years and I can assure you in 30 years it'll have been extended to 40 years, with no end in sight.
Well that's the thing, emulation is completely legal. Nintendo doesn't really have legal grounds to be issuing these takedowns, but they know they have enough money behind them that the little people don't challenge them in court.
It's crazy how no one mentions that Nintendo doesn't even put portuguese subtitles in their games to this day, when Brazil is the 5° biggest country, we have to rely on mods in 2024 for subtitles 💀💀💀💀

One of the main reasons why I kept all my old Nintendo consoles from my childhood was that I can still play a lot of the old classics. However, not everyone is lucky, and emulators are indeed the way to go. It's sad they are still shutting these things down.
im glad nintendo doesnt shut down emulators for Nes or SuperNintendo or N64 or Gamecube/Wii 😅…i think they want everybody to subscribe to Switch online retro games 😬
I still use my wii regularly, and I bought a ton of virtual console games on that before that was shut down. It’s great, I love my wii because I have all the classics I love downloaded, it has GameCube support, and it has a booming modding community that allows for online multiplayer in games that haven’t had official servers for over a decade.

They don't want you to play these games on the switch, they're probably thinking "if we re-release SOMETHING at some point - we want you to BUY it" - instead of playing the version you have on your console already. Nintendo hasn't been messing with the 3DS or Wii homebrew world - which basically allows you play every old game you could think of wanting.
I don’t understand how they can take down smash tournaments. If the game was bought by even just one person, they’re allowed to play it with others. Period. Full stop.
It's the fact that someone is profiting off of setting up the tournament with ticket prices, concessions and so on. Nintendo isn't involved in that (because they hate the competitive nature of some games) and they'll shut it down because that's money they should be making over the average joe hosting said tournament. There's no law that protects that, nor one that keeps Nintendo from shutting it down.
Allowed to play it with others,and allowed to play it in a tournament are two different things. Given their history Nintendo doesnt want to risk being associated with gambling, or have a tournament that doesnt fit their standards tarnishing the brand.
Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the fair use exemption to copyright. None of these exist in Japan, and that's partly what enables them to be such tyrants. The lack of fair use being the heavy lifter lately. As for copyrighting videos... well... youtube has always sided with the people claiming the copyright. Especially if it's a company and not a person. So people are unfairly having their accounts taken and youtube is too busy slurping Nintendo into their throats to care.
I have said this before but i am 100% conviced this is just Nintendo being entitled and drunk with power, not at all 'protecting their brand' or whatever obvious excuse they spit out. There is no justification for these things, not even by Nintendo's most loyal.
They don’t want cheapskate PC users to enjoy games for free, when their most loyal fans pay $60-70 for them. That’s called protecting the brand.

Ya I am guilty of this and I am sorry about it. I know nintendo is just a scummy company but I just love the games that are coming from nintendo and I still buy them. I am not sure if anyone else feels the same way?
@@ARC_Lens Absolutely! I think that's the case with most people. I'm just chronically unemployed, so I can sit on my high uppy chair, and say "i dOn'T bUy tHeM"
That’s the key word here. We buy the games. People using emulators, or a majority of them, are losing their shit because they can’t play Nintendo games for free anymore.
@@cowledclown1323 It doesn't matter. Nintendo doesn't produce their old titles anymore, so none of the money you spend on buying a copy of Pokemon Platinum goes to them. All of it goes to the retailer scalping it. And even then it's such a ridiculously small fraction of their market, that there's no way they're doing this for any other reason than just spite.
@@MrPatrickbuit That would be a good argument, if people used Switch emulators to play those games. But they don’t. They use Switch emulators to play the latest Switch games for free. Not NDS. Not GBA. Switch.
Hey, I’m from a really poor country, if we don’t emulate, we don’t play, since the official games are absurdly expensive. I guess fun isn’t meant for poor people, oh well.
This being in my subscription box alongside Fantano's vid about Internet Archive being sued by major record labels is nuts. It's like everywhere you go nowadays, major companies are just crushing everyone's sand castles. To say the future is bleak and hopeless is an understatement.
If you want to be cynical about it, then ye the future is terribly bleak. But realistically no not really, it's times that are definitely changing, Emulation, gaming companies (Besides nintendo) taking hits for the incompetence, The indie gaming scene, Dont let me get started on the entertainment side of things.
There's always indie games that have less of the greed rot of AAA studios, and in most cases (with emulators that haven't been taken down) there's an avenue to make copies of physical media games and movies that you own to be able to enjoy them forever
8:00 why make a better service when you have the money to do the easy thing and just shut down your competition? It’s easier and cost less and Nintendo can control the games you play.
I don't know if aggressive enforcement is necessarily easier or costs less, but the third is definitely true-and that's what they're after most of all.
I mean, they could make a good chunk of money if they had a emulator service for old games. It would make them money in the process of shutting down competition.
@@canopaint2743 You mean, like a service where you pay X amount of money for using emulators? Yeah, weird how Nintendo never thought about that. Anyways, i'm gonna play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on the GBA emulator from the NSO service where I spent money to use emulators while I think about the amount of money Nintendo lost not doing that.
@@suuslime3908 NSO does allow you to emulate games, but they don't have the best library. They should have both Wii U and GameCube games yet they haven't emulated any games from these consoles (alongside others). Their libraries are very small for the consoles they have on NSO. Like, if someone is emulating a game that isn't on NSO, what do you expect them to do? If Nintendo doesn't want said person play said game from said console, they should have said game and said console in their emulator that they make people pay for. If consumers had an option to play these games legitimately, they would (for the most part) and it would make more sense for Nintendo to shut down all of these emulators. But they are just shutting down all of the old console emulators and not providing an alternative way to play them legitimately other than buying that old console and game, which could cost 100s or even 1000s depending on what game you want to play (rarity for example). And even if they want you to do all of this to play their games legitimately, they don't make a cent off of it, so why not expand the library to the full amount of games for said console? More people would start buying NSO just for the emulation if they added GameCube and Wii U, as well as other consoles, and hell, they could even hike the prices up to accommodate for the full libraries. An even better way of dealing with emulation is bringing back virtual console and just having people pay for which games they want to emulate, like we saw on Wii, Wii U, and 3DS.

A lot of Japanese companies have this weird “your property is my property” mindset. It’s not just games either. There’s a Japanese doll company that frowns upon reselling - and is even in some documents you sign when you win one that you won’t resell it, but return it to the company if you ever no longer want it. If you use them in photography they don’t even want you selling your own photobook. That said I think Nintendo actually and maliciously LIKES ruining peoples lives over these things. They enjoy it.
I'd buy so many Nintindo games if they were just on Steam. But I'm not gonna pay hundreds of dollars to be forced to play on a console I don't even like...
Esoecially when the system is weak. People dont understand how weak the switch is. The best example is hogwarts legacy.

"games/consoles that aren’t being sold" Oh so the switch emulator was made when we got the next system I din't know that be for real man it was made during the switch's life time not even after when cemu was made it was at least a year before the switch came out.
@@Thezaneable so me emulating wii and 3ds games should be punished as well? games that aren't sold anymore and or are hundreds of dollars on the market.
It's not just about hurting their immediate revenue, what they want is to maintain their "ecosystem of control" where they determine everything about how the IP is used and marketed, allowing them not only to develop products using the IP but market and make them accessible as they wish, and so control demand. Nintendo are all about control-and emulators are one of the things that poke holes in that maintained veil of control by allowing fans access outside their restricted pipelines, for higher quality and absolutely free-little surprise Nintendo hates any emulation that isn't theirs so much.

Makes you wonder, with such a evil company, can there be something done?
Even if not, this shit is absurd and ridiculous. A emulator shouldnt be able to be taken down, as emulation is NOT illegal, yet they still get their way. I don’t understand. Emulating is literally legal. Still this shit happens.
@@Zeziliath It's because they threaten the owners/teams of these projects. Basically, the team/owner of the emulator would have to go to court to prove they did not break laws. They would probably even win, but Nintendo is so wealthy, they could drag out the court endlessly, costing them insane amounts in court and lawyer fees. It would bankrupt them into the ground. Then there's the fact that Nintendo's lawyers are so good, Nintendo could even possibly win the case, which could potentially set a nasty horrible precedent for emulation law.

It becomes not worth it in the end, for the money cost, or the potential of losing effecting law precedent, so they shut down the emulator.

I watched someone, I can’t remember who, that did a 100% completion run of Pokemon emerald. While he played on an emulator, he decided he was guying to buy all the shit needed to play the game and 100% it. His total came out to over $1000 on the lower estimates. From the GBA to the trading cables to the games themselves (needing the Gen 1 remakes and Emerald and Ruby/Sapphire) to special event cards on eBay that haven’t been distributed by Nintendo in decades. You also need a GameCube/Wii, a viable controller, and Pokemon Coliseum and Pokemon XD as well as NO LONGER IN SERVICE software to transfer between GameCube and the GBA to complete Emerald’s Pokédex (needing some technical messing around with services and changing WIFI shit to use a jailbreaker)
Subtracting those special event Pokemon, from the cost it was still wildly expensive. And none of the money spent on this project to 100% complete Pokemon Emerald ever went to Nintendo because they didn’t sell any of it.

There should be a law that says that copyright no longer applies when the holder is not selling or otherwise making the game/movie/whatever available to consumers to buy.
problem is, you also have to enforce constant sale or they just pull a mini NES/SNES and instantly remove it from the market.
Too bad most of them are sell outs to business people. Nothing you guys can do about it, except with petition. Just saying, there should be anti-trust lawsuits against them because those game doesn’t exist anymore.
While something like that would be able to keep behaviour like Nintendo's under check, this seems like it would hit small creators even harder, by forcing them to have to market their works constantly to retain their rights when they might not have the capacity or time to take on that marketing effort on top of their regular work. Not to mention how many artists make one-time artworks that remain with one buyer at a time rather than posting them online to the internet-such artists might end up being able to do nothing against waves of counterfeits if their original work was kept privately, since they wouldn't be keen on continuously reproducing that artwork.
The way the current law in the States seems to deal with it is that copyright NEEDS to be registered if you want to commence litigation in a federal court over it (although registration isn't necessary for copyright to exist). However, sending takedown notices doesn't need any kind of registration-though once again, making registration compulsory wouldn't affect big companies with the funds for it, it'd probably mainly have an impact on smaller creators.
“One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue,”

@@Xeo_A I think Gaben was referencing "piracy" as more of an industry global problem and not as the act of piracy itself.
@@Xeo_AOver a large sample size he means. If a piracy service requires a lot of steps to go through then people are not going to use it if buying and playing official means are just better.
Take the Switch’s eshop for example. Many newer games on it barely run at a decent fps or temp. TOTK being a prime example. Switch online is considered slow as molasses, and it being the only way to have saves in case your switch data is unrecoverable. For 3ds there is litterally no way to officially buy the games for the console, and if it’s online you are just out of luck since the official servers for 3ds are long gone. People use emulators to get around these issues, and is why games like mario kart 7 are still being played.
Steam on the other hand can run on any hardware, has great online support, and is very convenient in several ways (free online cloud saves meaning you won’t lose all your save data, ability to play on multiple devices, superior friend system, etc.). Steam itself as a company actively encourages modding too.
@@LuminousreignYou might want to reread your comment.
(Paraphrasing here) “The argument that if it was available with a fair price it wouldn’t be pirated doesn’t work here”

Nintendo definitely could release all its discontinued games and resell it to other platforms like to PC or other console via the famous game providers like Steam, Epic, and PS Store so Nintendo could earn far more revenue out of it.

I'm not that big of a Nintendo in terms of games, but copyright is so stupid when it's a situation like this because there is literally no other way to play the game besides emulation because they don't sell it anymore but they are still able to say its our "property" so you can't do that because we want money for it but they don't sell it so thay can't make money from it
Artificial scarcity is literally the core of capitalism. There's just as much profit to be made by withholding stuff from people as there is by making it.
@@RainerRilke3 That's an oversimplification. Intellectual property is "artificially" scarce, yes. Physical goods and services however are _legitimately_ scarce, they are finite - which is a core reason trade even exists.
fair point that games not being currently directly profited off of need to eventually be ported to modern platforms, however i think nintendo is slowly accomplishing that. yes it’s missing a lot, but they have been expanding the library a lot, regardless of how. also this statement just doesn’t really work with ryujinx being taken down because it’s a switch emulator, one that they are still selling and profiting off of… LOL
You know what almost killed the whole emulation scene? The Wii and it's eShop. There were still rom sites and emulators being worked on but there was so little motivation to do it when vast libraries for many old consoles were easily available.
It really didn't though. Nintendo's emulation has always been utter crap compared to what their community makes. Sure, emulation might have stagnated, but it'd never be killed. Nintendo isn't competent enough, nor rich enough, to achieve that.
@@MorganSaph It’s not about achieving total annihilation, but instead cornering the market. Think about it in a different way. Why do some governments choose to legalize select drugs? Yes, it’s for control of supply and quality, but a more important underlying reason is taxation. Think motive, not action.
Nintendo wants you to buy Nintendo Switch Online. That is the goal here, pure and simple. NSO is a decently large and (key word) recurring revenue that, given the considerable install base of the Switch, cannot be ignored. Emulation essentially voids NSO as a concept; once you have the files, you own the games themselves for life. No reason to spend money every month for something you can get for free, and so easily at that. It’s the control over their intellectual property they’re after, and it makes sense from a corporate standpoint. Whether a bad PR move or a cold-hearted execution, Nintendo doesn’t care. They are a company, and companies care about the bottom line. It’s not about vendettas.
Of course, that’s just an explanation of the logic behind it. I agree with said logic, but not the enforcement of their principles. If they want to control emulation, and ultimately increase NSO subscriptions, then they should compete with it. Instead of drip-feeding games over several years, make them available all at once. Oh, emulation is still free? Well, how about a price reduction? How about loyalty deals, or better perks? How about an emulator that doesn’t run like garbage? How about better servers for online games? Instead of supporting devs, they hand their money to overpaid corporate lawyers, whilst simultaneously destroying their public image. Utterly senseless.
Ultimately, it makes sense why they do the things they do… but yet it doesn’t. Maybe one day things will change, although I doubt it considering their abhorrent track record thus far.
oh theyre absolutely rich enough. They have the money to create near perfect emulators if they wanted to. They just dont care enough to actually do it. Their lack of funds really isn't the issue here@MorganSaph
i really want them to bring out some sort of nintendo switch pro. one that doesn’t have a smaller screen but still can run all the games to a better capacity. like. have u ever tried playing ANY game on a switch. it’s literally impossible. it runs out after 2 hours, overheats, gets loud with the fans, and the graphics struggle to load.
or. make a switch that has the smaller screen but as soon as you plug it into the doc, it uses the doc as the main power source, not just a hdmi caster/charger.
it can’t be that hard to do for them. i’ve seen many people requesting a similar thing too, like. a lot. i just don’t wanna play fortnite and the graphics struggle to load when landing every game and the graphics so low, the enemy look like 12 pixels.

@@BewareSabotage marketing / business / finance people really genuinely are subhuman, it's crazy
To be fair, Microsoft never had any games so that's not unique to this generation
This is why I like sega they actually allow their fans to be passionate about their games making fan projects, most better than the actual games, and even provided their own genesis emulator all the way back in 1998-1999, and they actively support and listen to their community.
The timing is impecable. Max removed 6ish cartoon network shows, including Regular Show and Gumball. You can't stream it anywhere. You can't buy it from them directly (easily at least). So physical sales would be 2nd hand and no money would go to Warner Bros anyway.
No ethical way to watch these shows outside of reruns on cable
Then by US law pirating it is legal. Company must provide a means to purchase or access said content

Remember, this is the same company that tried to sue Blockbuster for reprinting old manuals of used games.
They are capital L Losers.
(They lost that lawsuit btw)
The manual lawsuit was Nintendo's revenge lawsuit, and they actually won it. The original lawsuit, the one Nintendo lost, was to stop Blockbuster from being able to rent out games to begin with. After that loss they just wanted to hurt Blockbuster in some way or make their service worse. Hence the manual lawsuit.
Wasn't Nintendo also responsible for killing game renting in Japan or something like that?
seeing Nintendo losing petty lawsuits they initiate fills me with immense joy and satisfaction.
@@LadyHiddenSpikesabsolutely correct.
@@NoExplosionsMcgee That was the industry as a whole, not just Nintendo (Sega was involved as well) But even so, they still have loopholes, like how you can buy a game for full price, and get a 'special' deal that, if you return it in X amount of days, you get most of your money back.

Lol. For protecting themselves from the scum of the earth trying to steal their work? Emulators themselves aren't illegal. Just don't make Nintendo games compatible. That's illegal. Simply.
They always were
@@ZelX-Emulating and playing emulated games is not illegal either.
It’s the piracy of downloading illegal games that Nintendo wants to stop. But they take the route of taking out emulators entirely despite the fact that most emulators aren’t using any nintendo technology or coding in order to work. They’re built from the ground up to do the same thing as the consoles do.
Ryujinx and I believe Yuzu as well wouldn’t even work if you didn’t have a Nintendo Switch to dump your console data from.
Going after emulators is not the solution to piracy. Making a better product, a more accessible product, and making the tools to emulate widely available are how you stop piracy.

It should be legal to emulate games that aren’t being sold for 10 years.

Nah, you give them any sort of timer, they will abuse the shit out of it. Just look at how much Disney extended copyright protection over the decades in an effort to not lose copyright over Mickey Mouse. Sure, they're starting to fall behind now, but in the time they weren't they extended copyright to 120 years, which will now remain the status quo for the foreseeable future and stifle creativity for who knows how long (And that's assuming Disney doesn't start lobbying for longer copyright protection again after some time passes and their more recent stuff starts being threatened).
You make that emulation law 10 years and I can assure you in 30 years it'll have been extended to 40 years, with no end in sight.
Well that's the thing, emulation is completely legal. Nintendo doesn't really have legal grounds to be issuing these takedowns, but they know they have enough money behind them that the little people don't challenge them in court.
They’ll prolly just create small updates to increase sales to restart the timer.
We’d get rereleases every 10 years then.
The problem is the fans will never fight back. This video will be forgotten as soon as the next Mario Kart, Zelda, Smash Bros game is released.
It's crazy how no one mentions that Nintendo doesn't even put portuguese subtitles in their games to this day, when Brazil is the 5° biggest country, we have to rely on mods in 2024 for subtitles 💀💀💀💀
thats fucking crazy! Portuguese is like the 6th biggest language in the world in terms of population (when you include Portugal, Africa, etc).

You know when Nintendo is evil when even apple allows emulators on iPhone.
nintendo banning players because they forgot about timezones and thought people were “playing early” is absolutely absurd.
there was zero automation in these bans, purely incidental and looked over carefully by individual staff members. i really hope these few players got rewarded in some way shape or form, or the executives were reprimanded. but knowing Nintendo, nothing will change.
this story just proves that Nintendo is absolutely just looking for any and all ways to be dogsh** in the same bloodthirsty way that Twitter users are always looking to jump into an argument. Like they're constantly edging their meat on lawsuits and cease&desists

One of the main reasons why I kept all my old Nintendo consoles from my childhood was that I can still play a lot of the old classics. However, not everyone is lucky, and emulators are indeed the way to go. It's sad they are still shutting these things down.
im glad nintendo doesnt shut down emulators for Nes or SuperNintendo or N64 or Gamecube/Wii 😅…i think they want everybody to subscribe to Switch online retro games 😬
I'm all for preserving games through emulation but what does that have to do with Nintendo going after current gen emulation?
Even thats not going to work in the long run unfortunately. They're slowly breaking and one day all these old consoles will be completely gone.
I still use my wii regularly, and I bought a ton of virtual console games on that before that was shut down. It’s great, I love my wii because I have all the classics I love downloaded, it has GameCube support, and it has a booming modding community that allows for online multiplayer in games that haven’t had official servers for over a decade. It sucks that people who have switches need to pay an expensive subscription just to access a few classic games and play online!

They don't want you to play these games on the switch, they're probably thinking "if we re-release SOMETHING at some point - we want you to BUY it" - instead of playing the version you have on your console already. Nintendo hasn't been messing with the 3DS or Wii homebrew world - which basically allows you play every old game you could think of wanting.
I don’t understand how they can take down smash tournaments. If the game was bought by even just one person, they’re allowed to play it with others. Period. Full stop.
It's the fact that someone is profiting off of setting up the tournament with ticket prices, concessions and so on. Nintendo isn't involved in that (because they hate the competitive nature of some games) and they'll shut it down because that's money they should be making over the average joe hosting said tournament. There's no law that protects that, nor one that keeps Nintendo from shutting it down.
Allowed to play it with others,and allowed to play it in a tournament are two different things. Given their history Nintendo doesnt want to risk being associated with gambling, or have a tournament that doesnt fit their standards tarnishing the brand.
@@MLPIceberg To add to that, the legal status of events set up like that is very dicey in Japan. That is why they wanted to strictly regulate it.
Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and the fair use exemption to copyright. None of these exist in Japan, and that's partly what enables them to be such tyrants. The lack of fair use being the heavy lifter lately. As for copyrighting videos... well... youtube has always sided with the people claiming the copyright.

its always been this way. its not happening more , youre just noticing it more
There's always indie games that have less of the greed rot of AAA studios, and in most cases (with emulators that haven't been taken down) there's an avenue to make copies of physical media games and movies that you own to be able to enjoy them forever
8:00 why make a better service when you have the money to do the easy thing and just shut down your competition? It’s easier and cost less and Nintendo can control the games you play.
I don't know if aggressive enforcement is necessarily easier or costs less, but the third is definitely true-and that's what they're after most of all.
I mean, they could make a good chunk of money if they had a emulator service for old games. It would make them money in the process of shutting down competition.
@@canopaint2743 You mean, like a service where you pay X amount of money for using emulators? Yeah, weird how Nintendo never thought about that. Anyways, i'm gonna play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon on the GBA emulator from the NSO service where I spent money to use emulators while I think about the amount of money Nintendo lost not doing that.
@@suuslime3908 NSO does allow you to emulate games, but they don't have the best library. They should have both Wii U and GameCube games yet they haven't emulated any games from these consoles (alongside others). Their libraries are very small for the consoles they have on NSO. Like, if someone is emulating a game that isn't on NSO, what do you expect them to do? If Nintendo doesn't want said person play said game from said console, they should have said game and said console in their emulator that they make people pay for. If consumers had an option to play these games legitimately, they would (for the most part) and it would make more sense for Nintendo to shut down all of these emulators. But they are just shutting down all of the old console emulators and not providing an alternative way to play them legitimately other than buying that old console and game, which could cost 100s or even 1000s depending on what game you want to play (rarity for example). And even if they want you to do all of this to play their games legitimately, they don't make a cent off of it, so why not expand the library to the full amount of games for said console? More people would start buying NSO just for the emulation if they added GameCube and Wii U, as well as other consoles, and hell, they could even hike the prices up to accommodate for the full libraries. An even better way of dealing with emulation is bringing back virtual console and just having people pay for which games they want to emulate, like we saw on Wii, Wii U, and 3DS.

Nintendo ceo has dementia
It's ridiculous
You must be new here
@@theoneandonlyempoleon1451 ive watched for years it was just so out of pocket that it caught me off guard
They forget that other places exist outside of the glorious empire of Japan
Saw the title and thought, “so business as usual… great 😒”
Watch as a Nintendo Direct gets announced very soon.
This happens all the time.
Sony: Drops a great state of play even after the 700 dollar insane PS5 Pro (Sony’s cooked bro…)
Nintendo: Drops a subpar direct after a stunt like this (OMGGG!!! NINTENDO IS CARRYING GAMING!!!!)
The fact that it happens after they do some shitty stuff.
They want you to forget about it. They want to maintain a good image.
A lot of Japanese companies have this weird “your property is my property” mindset. It’s not just games either. There’s a Japanese doll company that frowns upon reselling - and is even in some documents you sign when you win one that you won’t resell it, but return it to the company if you ever no longer want it. If you use them in photography they don’t even want you selling your own photobook.
That said I think Nintendo actually and maliciously LIKES ruining peoples lives over these things. They enjoy it.
It's corporate worship. Japan is reallllly bad about it.
Meanwhile Sega's chilling in the back while watching their games being emulated
"I actively celebrate self destructive behavior"
There's a reason sega failed, you braindead zoomer
We ain’t sensitive thas why.
They don’t have a choice. They’re desperate for attention.
9:12 full of facts
accidentally paused at 5:26 and when I reopened my computer its just intimate eye contact
I like being told consistently that water is wet
water is not wet
Water is wet.
Not me when people use to say that about the world being round lol
Water is wet
water is water.
I'd buy so many Nintindo games if they were just on Steam. But I'm not gonna pay hundreds of dollars to be forced to play on a console I don't even like...
Esoecially when the system is weak. People dont understand how weak the switch is. The best example is hogwarts legacy. They literally had to change the game ALOT to make it playable and people were mad.
Like.. what did they expect? And genshin was announced for the switch too but it's not going there because the system cant handle anything that well
@@nobody-xh6ii It can't even play its own first party games, lol
@@riversan90 pokemon scarlet and violet
@@nobody-xh6ii Calling Genshin good or well is a stretch. Its a subpar game at best, but yeah ive seen good PCs lag at that game sometimes, so i genuinely wonder how a Switch would run it. Im still shocked how games like Witcher 3 are on the Switch. Ive played some random pixel indie games on Switch that barely go above 20 FPS, i have no idea how they made such a bad console.
@@_ANDRE. Genshin's a top 3 game of all time.
And it's not 3.
And it's not 2.
It's weird that a company is actively trying to stop their consumers from free promotion. Imagine having a large community of people who all want to play and promote your games, just for you to punish them
Nintendo raiding a children's hospital cause some kid in there is named luigi:
‘Sighs’, adds another tally on the board “if I had a nickel”
Probably way more than 2...
that board is probably more marker than board at this point
At this point, you’d be Jeff Bezos with how many nickels
Nintendo has them. File a complaint at corporate desk 17b-0284, and you can begin the multi-step process of disputing your nickels. Please note if the process is not completed within 4 Japanese business day hours (to include unpaid overtime), your complaint will be logged at Nintendo's 34th complaint ticket department, and processed in queue accordingly; you are the 2,706,892nd person in line. Thank you for your nickels, we hope to see you again!
If I had a nickel for any time Nintendo was evil, I'd have enough money to help the good guys.
Fans: create emulators for free for games/consoles that aren’t being sold and can’t hurt Nintendo’s revenue
Nintendo: absolutely not
switch isnt being sold anymore? interesting
"games/consoles that aren’t being sold" Oh so the switch emulator was made when we got the next system I din't know that be for real man it was made during the switch's life time not even after when cemu was made it was at least a year before the switch came out.
@@Thezaneable so me emulating wii and 3ds games should be punished as well? games that aren't sold anymore and or are hundreds of dollars on the market.
It's not just about hurting their immediate revenue, what they want is to maintain their "ecosystem of control" where they determine everything about how the IP is used and marketed, allowing them not only to develop products using the IP but market and make them accessible as they wish, and so control demand. Nintendo are all about control-and emulators are one of the things that poke holes in that maintained veil of control by allowing fans access outside their restricted pipelines, for higher quality and absolutely free-little surprise Nintendo hates any emulation that isn't theirs so much.
@@aidenbrenneman2302 Have Nintendo ever went after the 3DS or Wii emulators?
The only time they ever even acknowledged Dolphin was when Valve contacted them, and Citra just shared the same LLC as Yuzu so it was just collateral damage.
this might kill the Melee community altogether.
