Nintendo could be called stealing to fan games, but Nintendo can be taking inspiration, and that’s basically like making there fan base part of the community

Nintendo is definitely shady and petty but I’m guessing the reason they DMCA’d the Mario Royale game is that they were already planning Mario 35

fans: *exist* Nintendo: and i took that personally

About the Mario and Peach age gap joke... Peach is not 16 and Mario is not 35, Nintendo has stated that they are both roughly the same age (somewhere around 25 years old, the exact age was not given). The reason searching Peach's age gives you 16 as an answer is because that is how long ago the game Super Princess Peach released.

Ok, for the last one with Donkey Kong, the company may have put the code on the cabinet, but Nintendo still made the code, they just reversed engineered it for those cabinets

It would be horrible if you could own the copyright of the idea of "many players playing at the same time in game X" and "a remake of game X". Nintendo shouldn't be considered stealing these ideas, because these ideas are so broad and generic that these could easily be made up independently.

Kind of scummy. Sure copyright exist. But couldn’t they instead decide to…you know, hire those creative creators?

Just got this channel recommended, that's some underrated stuff!

I truly didn’t know this information, and I’ve been keeping up with everything Nintendo for years! They should definitely come forward with this, put some humility in their fanboys. Lol. Amazing video!

Remember, if Nintendo takes this down, all of these allegations are true

Actually about this. The creator of mario royal changed everything the assets the levels the music. He called it DMCA Royal. Nintendo sent him another DMCA Take Down. And my question is for what? Do you own the platformer genre in an 8 bit format nintendo? No

You got Square Enix to sponsor a Nintendo video lol

Isn't it funny though how people are calling out Nintendo for "stealing the idea" from a fan game, a fan game that was already stealing the IP from Nintendo.

May be their property but I feel they do owe compensation to the ones who created the new idea. Don't steal, just "ask nicely" to take down then work to make it more 'official'.

honestly, if Mr. Miyamoto really did that Argonaut Games, i respect his hustle. like, "hey remember that idea you pitched to us? yeah that's OUR idea now. smell ya later SUCKERS!"

I love how dramatic the videos you make are, It really captures me and sets the mood. 100K subs soon 👀

Not really trying to defend anything even though this sounds like it, but Nintendo only really goes after things that are trying to monetize using their IPs, use their ips for nefarious purposes (scams, illegal activity, etc), or else go after things that resembles something that are planning to release in the future. Happened to the metroid fan game, happened to smash bros, happened to Mario royal. You'd actually be surprised on how many things actually infringe on Nintendo's IPs that they are fully aware exists, but choose not to do anything since they dont fall into any of the above categories and wont affect them financially. In a way you can kind of use this as a way to guage what Nintendo is working on. That said, they are pretty scummy in how they do get things removed, usually waiting until its almost complete and then pulling the rug out, wasting countless days/weeks/months/year of work. A lot of the time the timing looks very suspicious but they are working on quite a bit, just the jp mentality to never leak things before they are released makes it worse then it seems. ;/

This can mostly be explained by simply that unfortunately companies tend to be blindsided by money, money is a *drug* and it corrupts most people

Still not as bad as the shit Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft have been covering up!

Nintendo when you pirate a 1999999 year old game: ok we give u nightmares for ever

I think nintendo, or at least game freak, canceled Pixelmon for a bit and then a couple years later released that weird block one on the switch and phone, some Pixelmator servers are still up though so I don't know

They say Donkey Kong was originally supposed to be a Popeye game, and to this day the plot of Mario games is the plot of a Popeye cartoon : Mario (Popeye) and Bowser (Bluto) fighting over Peach (Olive Oyl)

It's been few months that I asked you a question about making a video of all missing songs in Super Smash Brothers from N64 through 3DS & Wii U. (64, Melee, Brawl, 3DS & Wii U)

I will forever miss Super Mario Bros. 35

"The Allegations Nintendo Tried to Cover Up" Me: Which ones?

Metroid one caught Nintendo on 4k

Tbh for things like this I've been loosing all my love for Nintendo in the recent years I hate this trend of absolute disrespect to the fans and greedy/,lazy decisions

In short: Nintendo is the alpha male of the gaming industry, and they will dismiss anything that comes their way. But the internet never forgets what they did.

I love the Donkey Kong part

also, Mario Royale is already back up, which seems to have happened after Nintendo took down Mario 35

Peach is not 16 years old. It’s actually the game “Super Princess Peach” game that’s old. So Peach could probably be in her mid twenties or early thirties

Just to be clear, Nintendo does not have any legal right to take down free mods. They do not get to tell people what to do with things after purchase. Anybody can modify what they personally own. Only distributing unapproved copies or unapproved commercial use is unlawful. If the Mario Royale thing was just a way to modify a copy of the original game that would have been fine. It was a browser game so they were providing unapproved copies (that are also modded), not mods themselves.

rip Super Mario Bros. 35

I feel like if they could take down fan characters as well, they would have probably made their own Bowsette by now, concidering how crazy popular the character got on the japanese Twitter only *a few HOURS* after its creation.

11:14 Peach is not 15 years old, i believe that is the age of one of Peach's games. Not the character.

Man I didn't know nintendo could be so arrogant

You forget that the entire idea of the switch isn't Nintendo's. I remember seeing somewhere that the idea came from sega in the 90s, but when I actually looked for it, I instead found the Watara Supervision, which could connect to a tv using a link cable, and was created in 1992. There was also the Neo Geo X, which had a docking port to connect to the tv as well, and came out in 2012, during the awful Wii U phase of Nintendo. The switch was in 2017. The point is, it's pointless to say that the switch is innovative, or that Nintendo came up with the idea. No matter how much they pretend it's their own invention, it's been done before. Plus, I don't think it would take 30 years for someone to have the bright idea of a handheld game system being able to plug into a tv so you can play on it, that would be outright ridiculous. PEOPLE HAVE AN IMAGINATION.

2:38: Finally, someone agrees with me on this. I know of another fangame they didn’t take down: Mario Forever, which also has a level editor type thing called Mario Worker, which came out long before Super Mario Maker. If Nintendo took down Mario Forever and Mario Worker, people would flip out when Nintendo was found out about taking down an old popular fangame, just to make their own level editor type game. Besides, Nintendo mostly goes against fangames made for profit.

oh damn, Nintendo isn't looking good

Also, Nintendo only shuts down fan games that are remakes or uses the same level/levels from one of their games. That was why Mario Royale, DMCA Royale, AM2R, and Super Mario 64 HD were taken down and not games like Super Mario Bros. X, Super Mario Flashback, and Super Smash Flash.

the yoshi file is yoshi on top of the castle. he gives you 100 lives

the truth is that mario fangame that got taken down is still active to this day, just via a different site and name. i was just playing it.

I kind of find the 10 years as a lie

I’ve only watched about 10 minutes of the video, but I need to comment this before I forget it in case it isn’t mentioned. The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC is basically just an official CTGP, but to my knowledge they haven’t taken down any CTGP mods, who’s to say they won’t

Nintendo: let's banned Mario 35 after Nintendo: let's make new pacman game let's make like the same Mario 35 but pacman

These news are incredible

"Thats it im switching to SEGA" jk ive been with sega and Nintendo but hearing all of this just makes me wonder. Should consle wars have a a Second battle?

Nintendo took down a great game and then they made a lame version of it

Who cares if Mario 64 didn’t have the 3D plaftformer idea first.

There we go That’s what I was looking for

The Genshin Impact BoTW comparison would not be accurate because Genshin came out in 2020 BoTW came 3 years before it

8:57 that's literally the worst clip you could have picked...

YAY NEW UPLOAD

BOTW, Odyssey, and Octopath. Yes, all of these games pioneered the Switch LMAO!!!!

They are like disney but with games.

i wouldn't be surprised if any of this was actually true. if anything this would end up adding a heavy layer of irony to their DMCA bullshit

You have to remember: CORPERATIONS AREN'T PEOPLE. They need to make money, and if a fan does it better, they need to get rid of it.

Nintendo is like any other big business. Of course they're gonna do things like this.

KZfaq gave me an ad right after the sponsorship was over lol.

What’s the music at the beginning of the video?

Siiroth: The Donkey Kong Arcade code was mainly made by Ikegami and most of the DK Junior code was based on the original Donkey Kong without permission. Me: I did not see this coming. Ikegami: (to Nintendo) One day, you will have to answer for your actions,... *AND GOD... WILL NOT BE SO MERCIFUL!!!*

Because they aren't like Sega who approve of Fan Games

Mario Maker 3...D

This is why I'm not a fan of Nintendo, tho some games are enjoyable.

13:14 what anime is this

I think most of these are just 'ideas' not rlly stealing. Like they straight up gave Nintendo an idea and they did their own version of it.

I'm actually surprised that Nintendo hasn't issued a C&D against this KZfaq video. How DARE someone post the truth about a corrupt company! 😂 I will say that Nintendo has some amazing games, but still, has some nasty skeletons in its closet.

nintendo sued channel SML

I genuinely think that it’s time I switch to Xbox now. This is kinda ridiculous.

Wow

What's up with these overdramatized thumbnails though? I preferred the older, simpler ones

im angry everyone is advertising this mobile ass cash grab. Octopath was a gem... this is a perversian.

i dont think it really matters, people take ideas from others all the rime

Seems kinda sus…….

what is up with the thumbnail changes on this video

apple does the same thing

Yo Steelers

hi also first

The switch is a overhyped console with tons of ports of the wii u.

12th

You have definitely fallen off bud

stop forcing that fake laugh cough whatever every 5 seconds

I’m kind of sad at how critical of Nintendo you’ve become. Not saying your videos are bad or anything, but I just don’t think this direction is for me.
