It was someone who SAID they were Nintendo that took them down. Unless disputed, KZfaq doesn't require any kind of proof. You can copyright strike this video and say you're Nintendo if you want. Then DYKG gets copyrighted, then THEY have to say that the strike isn't legit and THEN you need to prove that you're Nintendo and that this is a copyright breach.

I didn't mean to spread misinformation, sorry." Then KZfaq chimed in to confirm it was indeed Nintendo who filed the copyright claims. The whole thing's just a debunked Twitter fan theory. DYKG posted the receipts on Twitter earlier, if you wanna see em. Edit: KZfaq saying Gilva can dispute the claims if he wants doesn't imply KZfaq thinks the claims were fake. That's a boilerplate response, they say that to pretty much everyone who raises a stink about copyright claims.

Same. I started laughing when it got brought up in the video because it's something so funny it sticks out in my memory.

interesting that the diehard Pokémon fan that is the admin of Serebii didn't actually buy the game and support his beloved franchise :P

@pokemonduck More interesting that his "early access" copy wasn't legit, yet he couldn't put 2 and 2 together. When has a Pokemon game ever done something like that?

Besides being able to play the game for free, why do you care about game preservation? It’s Nintendo’s work and they don’t care about preservation, so why do you?

@@juansanchez209 We care because we want to be able to play our games while also being able to purchase them. People do not want to go to shady websites that could have malware or worse just to be able to play a game. We want to go to Nintendos official hardware and give them money to play their games aka Preservation. If you still don't understand or think this is just people wanting something for nothing then I can't help you.

The thing is... The games are being preserved. This isn't about preservation. We know for a fact they preserve even the most obscure prototype nobody outside on Nintendo knew about. This all is because you want to be able to illegally download as much shit as you can and complain on a modding forum because the Wii U menu can't hold more than 300 titles at a time because who in their right mind would need more than 300 titles ready to go on your home menu.

@@diegomedina9637 yeah, who needs 300 games..... "Sweating profusely"

@@juansanchez209 some people care about history and don't want a repeat of the library of alexandria

It's a free market. Most used games aren't that expensive, and the rare ones that are expensive are because people are willing to pay that much for them. Meanwhile, Nintendo has made many of those previously rare games available again in some form (although many will only be so for the next year, so get them while you can), and they just don't the rights to most of the others, so there's not much else Nintendo can do. I'm sure we would all appreciate a remaster collection of "Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance" and "Radiant Dawn," though...

@@Compucles A lot of expensive used games are pretty rare, yeah - but you cannot convince me that the DS Pokemon games are that hard to find. These are games with sales in the millions, there's no way they're worth a hundred dollars.

...Huh? Secondhand game prices don't affect Nintendo whatsoever. Piracy does. Why should they fight something that doesn't hurt them?

@@L33PL4Y how much money does nintnedo get if i buy a 2nd hand copy? how much does nintendo get if i pirate the game? it's both zero. in fact, if i buy it 2nd hand, someone else makes money off of nintendos work, while with piracy nobody gets any money. you'd think someone else profiting off of them would trigger their lawers.

@@simpson6700 ...That's the nature of free market. Once someone buys something, it's theirs, and they can do what they want with it, including selling it. Why do you think Nintendo would have any power trying to stop second-hand game sales when literally anything and everything that exists can be sold second-hand? Piracy is stealing. The used market is universal and the things being resold were purchased, not stolen.

And based on the 800+ games I have in my Steam library, they were dead on the money. The sales help too

except in a lot of cases they leave games without a way to obtain them again, which by technicality makes them abandonware.

@@UltimateGamerCC Abandonware have no legal significance though, except that it's pretty likely the IP owners won't enforce it - exception being companies like Nintendo.

I always try to buy music before I download it. If I can give you money, I will. I also don't emulate games I haven't already paid for, and it's usually just an older game that I want to play through again that isn't on any digital stores.

​@@xxphazonzombiexx Well, lets use the most common thread, nowadays we're having a movement that advocates for preserving old games, as it is basically the history of the gaming area. There are several games that never saw a release outside of japan (like Gyakuten Kenji 2 mentioned in this video). So, people put the games online and translate em. There are also some games that just weren't released again for one reason or another. So you have games that you want to play, but weren't released again. You have no choice but to go to Emuparadise or Coolrom to try and download that one game that you just can't buy again as easily, don't have the funds to pay a vintage console + forgotten game, not counting how some games reach "Legendary" status and sell off for hundreds of dollars on ebay, like original copies of Ocarina of Time and Mario 64. Nintendo then proceeds to not only strike the websites down/ask em to remove their roms, but also never release some of them again (effectively risking losing this piece of gaming history for good) and charge extreme prices for those very games or sloppy remakes(Pokémon Lets go PIkachu/Eevee costs 60$ at full price. That's the very same price for Red Dead Redemption 2.). That's just asking for people to pirate em, otherwise there's no way to enjoy the games or the price's just too unfair compared to what they're getting.

@@xxphazonzombiexx in what world does that not make sense

Piracy isn't consumer friendly, anything that harms the creators isn't going ot be good for the consumers in the long run.

@Tabrith Well... If you see the kind of shady websites full of adds those roms are stored at.

I still insist you people don't know what consumer friendly is. Whoever has a Wii U and a 3DS already bought whatever it was they were ever going to buy off the eShop. Who's going to buy games from a system that was considered a failure more than 10 years after release? Also just because the eShop is closing down doesn't mean we'll lost the ability to redownload titles from the eShop that we already bought. Even after the Wii Shop closed down i can still go in and redownload my copy of Super Mario Bros 3 that i bought back in 07.

@@pokemonduck judging it unplayable doesn't necessarily sound right but isn't wrong either

Because making the game accesible is such a good reason to pirate.

@@LuccianoBartolini what accessibility? I can't fucking get 90% of these games legally anymore, and the other 10% is only because I already own them from when they were regularly priced. they hardly have any of these games on their current switch emulation, and they're closing down the stores on the 3ds and wii u. that's the opposite of accessible, a person with low income like me can't justify paying hundreds of dollars for physical copies of these games on places like ebay because they're taking away any reasonable ways to play them legally. not to mention, physical copies will all stop working eventually, so piracy is also good for preservation as well. acting like piracy is a genuine problem is such an ignorant point of view.

@@daanthedoctor LOL Nintendo just released the trailer for Majora's Mask and there's a lot of time between now and 2023 (when the eShop is actually dead) to bring those games to modern systems. Talking about the Wii U like, dude, I DEFENDED the Wii U when it was alive and EVERYBODY MOCKED IT AND ASKED NINTENDO TO KILL IT. Well, their wish is granted, and don't act as if it never happened, there are plenty of youtube videos mocking the console. And, please, don't come ot me with the "I can't afford this games because I'm low income" because I freaking live in Venezuela and has managed to buy ORIGINAL PS2 games (which is harder than it sounds) and even find obscure games on the PS3, DS, Wii and even Genesis games on physical. Don't try to manipulate me with the "I'm poor" narrative when I'm freaking poorer than you and still manage to find and buy original games on a country that is 60%+ pirated games.

@@LuccianoBartolini excellent points here, nintendo porting ONE GAME (that's insanely popular too, mind you) is apparently showing they're trying to preserve ALL of their games! and apparently mentioning that my income is low and thus I can't afford hundreds of dollars of overpriced games is "manipulation" instead of actual reasoning as to why I can't afford to spend so much money on second-hand games. also what the hell does other people saying they hated the wii u have to do with anything? that doesn't suddenly justify getting rid of the only reasonable legal way to get tons of games when they clearly have enough money to keep it up. your logic is extremely stupid. why are you even bothering to defend this shitty behavior? it's not like the original creators even make any money off of assholes reselling games for 5 times their original price anyways. you're just defending a company's ridiculous practices for no reason, they don't care about you and they don't care about their customers aside from getting money. but they don't even make money from the games lots of people are trying to pirate anymore because most of the even "legal" ways of getting them are resellers anyways. just because they're giving us a heads up doesn't make it much better either when you know damn well a lot of those are never gonna be ported to the switch or anywhere else because nintendo doesn't care. but I guess just because I wanted to download a 15 year old game that's not even being made anymore instead of paying some random asshole $200 for it I'm a shitty person suddenly and the greedy corporation definitely isn't at fault at all.

@@daanthedoctor "excellent points here, nintendo porting ONE GAME" Thank you for the compliment, but wrong, Nintendo isn't porting just ONE game, it has also ported two of the Earthbound games, as well as some Sega Genesis games and even Banjo Kazooie, which indicates that more games may come on the way. "apparently mentioning that my income is low and thus I can't afford hundreds of dollars of overpriced games is "manipulation"" Pretty much, why are you trying to get all games instead of just buying the ones you will actually play? I know plenty of cases of individuals that have their Steam accounts filled with unplayed games, heck, even I do. So, sure, you may have low income, but it doesn't mean you cannot buy a game. You only have to be smart about it. "hated the wii u have to do with anything? that doesn't suddenly justify getting rid of the only reasonable legal way to get tons of games when they clearly have enough money to keep it up." LOL No, Nintendo doesn't have that much money. Nobody in its right mind will keep a system, that cost millions to keep alive, that literally NOBODY USES (so no money coming back from that) just so people that doesn't even own the system can be happy. Asking otherwise is demanding Nintendo to go bankrupt. Being real, do you EVEN OWN A WII U? If Nintendo keeps it alive, will you buy a Wii U or use their system so they can have the money to keep it alive? Don't fool me, you know the answer is NO. " why are you even bothering to defend this shitty behavior?" Because it isn't sh*tty, it's actual logic. "it's not like the original creators even make any money off of assholes reselling games for 5 times their original price anyways." That's irrelevant. We're not talking about resellers, we're talking about pirates... speaking off... "but they don't even make money from the games lots of people are trying to pirate anymore" Actually, yes, piracy DO hurts them, because it means a sale less and (in the case of the pirated game being in a bad state) give bad PR about the game. At least resellers are keeping the OG game alive, unlike pirates, that take the OG game away form its original state for the sake of personal profit. " just because they're giving us a heads up doesn't make it much better either when you know damn well a lot of those are never gonna be ported to the switch or anywhere else because nintendo doesn't care." Dude, there are plenty of games in there that AREN'T from Nintendo and many of those games already have ports or WILL have ports on future consoles and, let's be real, nobody will miss the actually bad games (like cash grabs and shovelware) " I guess just because I wanted to download a 15 year old game that's not even being made anymore instead of paying some random asshole $200 " LOL I bought Pokémon Silver for the GBC for far less than that, and prices here are already expensive as they are. I also bought PS2 games that cost even less than that. Heck, Puppeteer costed me about 5$ and it's a hidden gem on the PS3. Meanwhile, small companies try to keep old games alive by porting them to modern consoles.

I mean, that's literally what brought about the creation of Steam. Valve saw PC being full of pirates, and decided to make a system which would make it a lot easier to purchase PC games legitimately.

Technically, they did get re-released on the Wii U, and you can still buy them there for the next year.

Yeah, a message should just pop up eventually that says "This is a pirated copy, please purchase the game if you want to complete it" or something like that.

The only way for you to accidentally get bootleg games is if you buy them off another person on like Ebay or something, meaning the original developers and publisher don't get any money whatsoever from that purchase. They want you to buy the game from a legitimate source, like an established retailer or their own digital store. That way, they get money and you don't risk getting a bootleg.

@@leetri youv clearly never been to another country, and also missed the point. The point is that randomly making something not work in the game doesn't make people who didn't buy the game suddenly want to buy the game.

How are they "promoting piracy"? Committing a crime is a choice, a choice you shouldn't take.

@@togamibyakuya8016 Nintendo continues to make it impossible to buy games for older consoles, evidentiated by their recent choice to discontinue older model DS games.

@@OnlyGetty *"evidentiated by their recent choice to discontinue older model DS games."* Because the E-Shop wasn't mataining itself anymore and keeping up both services wasn't a good idea. *"people will resort to piracy to play those older games."* They are still wrong, plain and simple. Stealing is never right.

@@togamibyakuya8016 Nintendo offers no solution other than piracy. Nintendo doesn't offer physical copies anymore and are discontinuing the only other method of legally acquiring a copy. They are content letting those generations die, then selling sub-par ports years later.

@@togamibyakuya8016 It's not stealing. Stealing implies someone gaining something while someone else loses that thing. Nintendo doesn't lose anything from Bobby downloading a rom of Super Duper Adventure for the NES, because a) nintendo doesn't sell NES anymore, and neither do they b) sell legit copies of Super Duper Adventure digital or physical, and c) Super Duper Adventure's developer, Real Studio, doesn't even exist anymore. When Bobby downloads the game, neither Nintendo nor Real Studio lose money, because it's not money they could get anyway. Pirates preserved a rom of Super Duper Adventure while Nintendo didn't, just so future generations can play it, and they don't even charge for it

More companies should pirate their own games, supplying a copy which gives a demo of the experience and ending with a plea for support if you liked the game and want to continue.

Is that really a thing? Because I do the same and it hasn't ever happened to me. Then again, I don't use many cheats aside from the 100% catch rate and the occasional wild encounter modifier. Maybe an EXP booster if necessary.

Maybe your copy didn't have the glitch

Plenty of people are preserving old games the legal way. They just can't make them available to other people for free. Piracy has nothing to do with game preservation.

@@Compucles I don't agree with that but, that's ok.

Most pirates have no intent of buying the game later in the first place. Meanwhile, if the anti-piracy measures are strong enough to prevent them from enjoying the game, some of them will actually go out and buy it rather than wait for a workaround. Really, such measures add more sales than they subtract.

@David Jameson Yeah the closure of the eShop doesn't affects people already pirating because they already have as many back ups as the could possibly want and it doesn't really affects legit users because they already bought whatever they were interested in and you'll be able to redownload whatever software you previously bought.
