- Nintendo is loved by many people for many reasons, and we can all see why. We grew up with Mario, Link, Samus, and many others, but what happens when we look past these colorful mascots and into the eyes of the corporation itself?

"But Nintendo will lose its copyright if it allows fangames!" That's the thing though, no they won't. Check out this video that I made with the help of an actual copyright attorney for more information on this subject (link below)

Five Nights at Freddy's is a GREAT example of why fangames are something to be proud and loved by both fans and companies.

Alternatively; "No! This isn't how you're supposed to play the game!"
They've right sometimes. Like their decision to have Splatoon 2 salmon run multiplayer mode available only at certain times instead of 24/7. Its special because of that. People appreciate something more when they don't have it.
To add on the product durability segment:
There is a game boy which survived a bombardment on the gulf war. The game boy only had its exterior scorched up, but everything else was fine. The console was still capable of playing games as if nothing had happened. The game boy survived A BOMBARDMENT.

It's funny how "Sega does what Nintendon't" has become an actual critique of Nintendo making bad business practices
Sega supports fan mods and works while nintendon't
Not only with sonic, altho something with sonic mania didnt happend still, you are very freely available to mod other sega IPs like Yakuza or the Project diva games
Sega: Good business, bad games
Nintendo: bad business, good games
@@Trevor_NewJerusalem Bad business is loosing money, but Nintendo is making more money than ever.
@@Joaquinmt4590 that’s not how it works. There’s this little something called goodwill and customer satisfaction, yeah short term they are making bank but long term their revenue is gonna take a hit. Just look at the Witcher 3 and cyberpunk for comparison cyberpunk only sold half the numbers of Witcher 3 even though everyone was in love with cdpr but the moment they saw the drama people stopped buying it I bet that shit game sold 20m only based on their reputation, now wait for their next game and see how much it sells compared to these two
Or in a technical sense, Sega does what "Nintendon't" because assisting in fan works is actually illegal for Japanese law.
The absolute best quote I heard about this topic is by Nerrel: regarding Nintendo taking down fan projects, he said "just because they have the right to do it, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do".
sure most sega games after 2015? are total shit but atleast they dont shit on fan games,and they even hired fans to make sonic mania
"Just because your correct it doesn't mean your right."
Why did I read this with nerrels voice
Why can't fans just make an original IP inspired by the series they love? They don't need to make a fan game.
@@Meetwadsometimes you're passionate about an ip and want to express that passion in a more profound way
I love how Sega hired a fangame dev to take part in the creation of Sonic Mania, and Capcom shut down a Resident Evil 2 fan-remake but also hired him for the official remake
@Big Crunch free developers
Valve fliping understand this
(Now they seem to be corred by the money)
Take part? It was all them, Sonic Team didnt have any part and Idk who else did.
I think the difference with Sega is that they can't make a decent game themselves. It made complete sense to let the fan developers make engines and games for them.
If I'm not wrong, ms pacman was actually a rom hack of pacman. Capcom noticed it but then decided to hire the dude who made ms pacman and make it an official game.
@@reethelemon Yes it was, and also vastly superior to the (2600) port of the arcade game. A fan recreation of the original game, Pacman 4k also is used in the Flashback portable in place of the original.
*In a parallel world where Nintendo is a supply company*
Nintendo: "Here's your hammer, thank you for your purchase."
Random Person: "Cool." *attaches hand grip they made*
Nintendo: "Okay, committing fucking theft I see."
That is a really good example of what they do.
Also Nintendo: "It's treason then."
If nintendo made hotdogs:
Nintendo: Here's your hotdog!
Consumer: Nice! *adds ketchup*
Nintendo: how dare you steal our hotdogs
lol, what is this a reference to? There are lots of third party switch grips online available for immediate purchase. Nintendo consoles have always had 3rd party peripherals (controllers, memory cards, decals/skins, etc), even back in the NES era when the company was very stringent and controlling about its hardware and properties.
@@butterchicken4 Don't take the example of a grip to a hammer so literally. It can mean any such modification other than peripherals, like the ones described in the video that were targeted by Nintendo.

@@pvzmariosonica8fan You can't change it. That's how their ways work. Remember Nintendo is a japan based company and those typically tend to be companies so steeped in traditions that hurt their business they just let it happen for the sake of tradition. There's also the way copyright law works in Japan, which is even more ass backwards than here in the US.
@@megaman37456 You know what's more backwards than Japanese copyright law? Public school dress codes!
@@pvzmariosonica8fan Facts.
This video hit home really hard. Nintendo is a hilariously backwards company. Does anyone remember how downright draconian Nintendo was during the earlier parts of the Nintendo/SEGA rivalry? Nintendo has been an anti-consumer company for decades.
Apparently not. So many people in Nintendo comments sections say stuff like "what happened" or "they were better before X happened" or something.
Nostalgia blindness and busy parents, sure it's easy for a non-fan to notice their most recent exploitative practice selling faulting controllers for years; but those wealthy enough to not care won't bother complaining, and oblivious parents will probably blame their kids' recklessness instead.
@Kosorou - Gaming Completionist so?
Sorry, but could you explain what were their practices?
(I was a child during Nintendo X SEGA, so I don't remember lol)
Nintendo is "horrible" really only to customer and all, their Devs don't go through crunch or sexual harassment at least 🤡 (they even made certificate for gay couple to recognise them and pay them the same as straights one while it's still illegal in Japan so yeah I think I rather support rats who at least does quality and respect it's employee than opposite lol)
Actually, Nintendo's most passionate fans are their shareholders

I saw a video that mentioned that. CZcams's copyright system encourages you not infringe on 1 company's rights, but infringing on as many companies as possible out of spite is A-ok!
Wasn't this technique popularized/invented by Jim Sterling? The idea is to violate copyrights from multiple sources in the same video, where Jim called it the "Copyright deadlock." But this technique just makes it so that nobody can claim the monetization from the video.

You didn’t even mention the Splatoon tournament. I don’t remember the exact number but 3 or 4 of the teams made their name FreeMelee in response to the smash tournament you mentioned. Nintendo refused to stream the tournament because of the team names. Not to mention the grand prize of the tournament was $20 eshop credit. And there’s reports from previous tournaments that the winners never even got the prizes.
When I brushed over the Smash stuff for the reason that other people covered it better and in more depth than I could, I definitely had the FreeMelee movement in mind and Splatoon's involvement. I should have at least mentioned it though.
@@ingeniousclown No worries! I just didn’t know if you or other people were aware of it. Very good video nonetheless.

Disney and Nintendo have so much in common:
1. Iconic mascot - Mickey mouse/Mario

YEEEP
I have first-hand experience with this topic. Back in the late 1990s, Nintendo had its own BBS where many of us would discuss our favorite games. When Mario Kart 64 came out, I was discovering several game-breaking shortcuts in the early months. One in particular was a lap skip in the Frappe Snowland track, which I described how to do on their BBS.
Sure enough, they'd steal credit several months later in Nintendo Power magazine, only stating it was found by "clever fans via our website." This incident inspired me to make my own site, so that proper credit could be given to the sources.
I appreciate everything that you did for MK64 back then, David!
25:00
Nintendo was jealous that the Smash community can make online servers that actually run smoothly.
"Why only allow one save? What's it gonna hurt?"
Nintendo loves the idea of every player having their own console. They love it so much that they design their consoles and games to assume that there is only one owner and player. Because it worked that way with handhelds, and now they have their home console hybridized with their handheld, so we can have all the downsides of a home console with all the bad design ideals of a portable, which is the worst combination for us but the most lucrative one for them.
"all the downsides of a home console with all the bad design ideals of a portable"
That was certainly true of the Wii U's lame freak of a gamepad.
most lucrative one for Japan.
Or because you could only have one town, just like every other animal crossing game :/

Nintendo is pretty much the Disney of the video games industry: the worst out there but the general public doesn't care because they own their childhoods
That's pretty much true. In both cases, brand image is meticulously groomed, so IPs are fiercely guarded. The difference might be that Nintendo still publishes good games, while modern Disney is 98% garbage, and Disney's lobbyists write its own copyright laws to protect its cultural monopolies ironically built off the public domain.
i think blizzard takes the cake now
While imo they’re not the worst, they’re still very bad and have a lot of the same issues a bit similar to what Disney has (unnecessarily strict copyright, greediness). There’s much worse companies out there tho, EA and Activision Blizzard in particular

31:53 what's sad is this isn't an oversight.
It's a model called "Buy now or die" where they on purposely make an product ready to break down so you'll buy an identical variant or an upgraded one with extra price, or the "consumer" just has to "die" which means being stuck with the broken product, in this case being the Joycon. A joycon pack in my region costs upwards of $71 or higher, that pricing should be a crime but it isn't.
What’s insane is that nintendo could literally use melee as great PR, “this game is so good it’s still popular after 18 years”
Many devs would kill to have their game being popular even after 18years .
Not even 18 at this point. In a few months that will be at 2 decades. Imagine being a developer with a game with a community that strong and old
The Melee banning thing at least was consistent with how Nintendo acts.
1) Nintendo hates emulation. It lothes it. Nintendo (and Sony) tried to make emulators themselves illegal, but failed so horribly they set a very strong precedent for emulators. So long as emulators don't contain BIOS files, they don't even contest them. Ironically, if you run a tournament using an emulator but have the actual disc, Nintendo couldn't do fuckall to stop it (Though knowing their lawyers, they'll invent a way).
2) As mention in the video, a modded game likely means you got it from a ROM. Even then, you're breaking the agreement that you're not allowed to make modifications to the game. This was the crux, this was how they could ban the tournament.
3) They want people to play Ultimate instead. Ultimate sells copies, whereas they won't make money on Melee. This is the financial reason.
When the Melee tournament announced they were using an emulator, I knew they were dead in the water. My favorite option is 4) Nintendo would realize how terrible their netcode programmers are if a mod of an old game runs online matches better than Ultimate ever will for free.
@@Sandact6 These videos and threads are interesting because they're an echo chamber for people that have zero clue of how this world works and are stuck in their own delusion and nonsense.
Some that I've found in this post:
- Nintendo never hated emulation, Nintendo never try to make emulators illegal as Nintendo's lawyers are among the best and knew back then that emulators were legal, that's only Sony that tried that nonsense (with Bleem! IIRC) and failed miserably, but it didn't fit your BS narrative so you couldn't say the truth;
- Nintendo (Playstation as well) actively combats piracy against its work as it's its bread and butter, that's the main money making business of Nintendo nowadays, and Nintendo is a very small company, not a big one like Sony and MS. Your emulators are useless without pirated games (most ROM played) and piracy is very dangerous to the business, as shown by DS and PSP, which killed both consoles, despite DS being the most sold consoles to consumer of all time, games weren't selling at all as piracy was everywhere with R4 cards and the like. PSP got killed even faster, some people bought it just to play pirated games;
- IP laws force a company to actively protect its IP and have proof of it, or the company risks losing its IP rights. Nintendo having real world lawyers and having business in the real world knows this and do just what it has to do to not lose its valuable IP, it's the only company left with so strong and so old IP in the videogame industry, that's why their action are more prominent and scrutinized than others. Pirates living in their bubble believe nonsense like in this video. Anyone with even the slightest clue about copyright and IP laws in the USA would have understood that making a tournament with distributed modded games (legally the same as distributing pirated games with DMCA) was beyond stupid;
- Anyone talking "netcode" advertizes that they have no clue of how a game is programmed, how network works, basically no clue in computer science and tech. This is further reinforced by someone that has no clue in the difference between making online matches between 10s of people and 10s millions of people, surely (like most) people that believe that networks works well everytime when actually there's constantly problems in networks at the hardware level (and I'm not talking congestion there), despite the hardware having ECC RAM or mitigation hardware like that. When the volume of compute and data is high enough, these problems people are oblivious of start to happen, like in Smash Bros, the sole fighting game to reach such sales;
@@0okaze dunno what you mean by nintendo is a very small company, theyre worth billions
I love Nintendo for their games, the people that make them. The corporate side is terrible

They did the same thing to Splatoon 2 as they do to melee. Some time in 2020 they struck down a Splatoon 2 tournament and the splatoon and melee community came together to host a tournament with the biggest Splatoon prize pool ever of like $20,000 I think? For the record, nintendo usually gave the winners of these tournaments some copies of Arms
The Joycon drift is straight up programed obsolescence. There's no other explanation. At first I thought that they just stumbled into the Joycon drift and took advantage of it by "technically" allowing people to send in their broken Joycon to get "fixed". But no, now that I think about it, it's such an obvious design flaw that it is literally impossible for them to not know about it and still refuse to fix it. For those that don't know the Joycon drift is caused by the fact that the panel holding the joystick's components is held only by one screw so there isn't enough pressure to make contact with the pad inside. That literally can be fixed using a piece of paper.
Honestly I think the explanation is crappy quality on industry parts for the sake of making an extra dollar on bulk manufacturing.
Anyone realise here that you can recalibrate the controller stick and it will help?
@@ingeniousclown you can use recalibrating to make it a bit better
I also had some controllers drift due to the tiny copper stricks that are used as sliders on the resistance pads are really just tiny bent copper wires, not even stable pads or anything. They are really prone to start bending and stuff and if that happens he whole stick is nonfunctional. The sticks are really made poorly and built way to poorly.

@@GodpraisethePALANTINE what do you mean by paramount
If a company isn’t physically selling copies of their old games, emulation should be legal.
They will try to make it illegal.
Ignore them, and make it legal.
What pains me the most is the libraries on the internet that aren't even handing out illegal copies but just keep them to be preserved, that often also get hit with cease and desist letters, threats to their project and more. There's countless games that will never, ever see a re-release on modern consoles. Because they're not well known, didn't make money back then. But because of that, they also barely sold and finding physical legit copies of those games is basically impossible. The community goes to such efforts to preserve games so they won't forever get lost to time, and then Nintendo is like "suck it guys, we don't care how much you do out of love for our games, cease and desist!"
Emulation should always be legal no matter what. Not my fault Nintendo ain't putting out their games onto PC and Nintendo doesn't lose a single cent because I wouldn't have payed for the game either way.
Emulation IS legal. The problem is getting the copyrighted source code of the game you want to play. Say, you can reverse engineer an NES and make a program that plays NES games. That's emulation, and is very legal (though a few legal wars were fought for it). However, getting a game that was copyrighted by a long gone 90's company basically puts the game in a "legal limbo".
Fair use should also protect historic preservation of software.
specially when they make those online only games that will eventully die and become unplayable.
I remember that once I dropped my switch about 3 feet and one of the joy-cons litterly ripped out and became permenantly broken. Definitly NOT an extremely sturdy console.
“Illegally optained copies“ necesarily implies you stole it. Ironically if you stole a disc of a game it would be a perfectly legal copy, since it was copied with official license. Illegal copies are furthermore perfectly legal to obtain for personal use. Only the distribution of unlicensed copies is illegal.
When Sega posted on their Twitter that they gave the rubber stamp of approval for fan games (with the caveat they weren't being monetized), it made me feel happy.
@Sister Supersonic Wavemaster, their record distributor, did that.
EDIT: RIP Lolcow's comment.

What do you mean? They are taking down levels that their fans made in the game where you are supposed to make creative levels?
Refusing to do anything about Nintendo's practices because of nostalgia is why its a problem though. You can't let nostalgia cloud your mind from what is right and what isn't. Not doing anything is the same as endorsing it, they'll take it as compliance and keep going

@Kosorou - Gaming Completionist No. It's not good for business to alienate fans by destroying everything they do. in reality they should see it as free advertisement.

I’m not even kidding. Bless my moms naivety but ever since I found out I see them differently and I haven’t drawn any of their ip since. I still enjoy Nintendo products I just see through their facade as what they are: a corporation seeking profit

Nintendo is a walking argument for serious IP reform.
copyright law in general sucks rn. Weve already seen it get asinine as hell with music copyright I dont want everything to go down the same road.
Disney is another. All the fairytale movies that made them big? They use stories from the public domain. Or: Everyone can use them. Except they can't. Because Disney holds the copyright for their versions. And is vicious about it. While lobbying to extend that copyright. Otherwise, all those characters would be public domain again. But they aren't. Which is a crime.

Fire Emblem is one of my favorite franchises. I was hoping that the fact that the delisting of the translated re-release as well as Mario 3D All-Stars was an April Fools joke just so Nitendo could sell a lot of copies, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I still luckily bought the Fire Emblem translation the day before just in case, though.

There were already some hardware issues during the Wii era. There was a common issue where your Nunchuk would frequently disconnect from your wiimote
There also was a smaller issue with nunchuk drift, even though it clearly wasn't as common as joycon drift
I remember that. I had to disconnect the Nunchuck and reconnect it to the Wiimote so the drift would stop. It wasn't often, but still an inconvenience.
I found the " sintendo " thing even funnier because sin means nothing in spanish. So the first time i read i first thought " Nothingtendo "
Nintendo is like a drunk salaryman who everybody knows having a drinking problem. He works very hard at the company and make very impressive results. If anybody else wants to be as efficient or even copy his work. The Drunk Salaryman comes and mauls you behind the office building. The company where this salaryman works justifies all this by stating: "He's adult. He can do whatever he wants."
Sadly. Everybody wants to work with this guy since they don't know his alcoholism problem.
Except you enjoy the mauling and when you do file complaints then those of us conservative cannot take you seriously: Especially you did it willingly yet you demand to impeach the President of Nintendo even though more proof comes out that fans did it consensually.

I’m starting to get a lot of Anti-Nintendo video essays recommended to me all of a sudden.
That's why we're all here
Same
People are becoming more aware
Same
Hmm, i wonder why
Yes. Nintendo sucks.
With the seemingly endless examples of terribleness, how can they be seen as anything but a prime example of one of the greediest, anti-consumer corporations?
Joycons have to be one of the most uncomfortable, junky controllers ever designed by a top console manufacturer. I can't understand how anybody couldn't be insulted by the $80 price tag! They have been stealing $50-$60 from each person that has bought them since the console came to market. They could afford to replace every single joycon and would still have profited in the end. And only a fraction would need to be replaced. Their stance on this is inexcusable.
Theese are the biggest reasons i have stopped playing my favorite nintendo games. Even console in general
This video is over 45 minutes long, even though he didnt even talk about speedruning. as a zelda speedruner myself i can say that we’re definitely one of the most passionate group of zelda fans out there and all we want is for nintendo to do well- nothing. though nintendo sweeps in and patches some frame perfect glitches that require a very percise setup and even though im 100% certain that no player ever just accidentally happened to stumble upon these glitches in a casual playthrough they still patch it out just so we cant play through their game fast anymore. it seems like they do this because we actively break their games, but i and basically every zelda speedruner feel like this isnt a bad thing at all. in fact its literally free ads we do for them in showing off the potential to spend thousands of hours in their games. though all nintendo does is take this passion as an insult.
A lot of devs do, unless it is game devs as game devs see the actual meaning of it. Like the devs that don't understand sees bugs and glitches even exploits as faults in the game or programs and such that they don't want people to see.
Though you do have some devs like Mercury Steam that does patch stuff only if it hurts the game like soft locks hard locks and game breaking bugs that casuals could do too easily by accident such as what is basically turning on god mode in Metroid Dread, but if that one was allowed to stay even if casuals don't do it then eventually the speedrunning scene would stagnate fast
Though if a player does stumble across a frame perfect glitch unless they were looking for something to exploit they would not think about it and just assume it was normal gameplay or a weird little bug that was a small oversight such as the invincibility glitch in Metroid Dread. And while people love blaming Nintendo for the stuff that they do in patching speed tech out what they need to realize is that it is not Nintendo's fault it is the individual Dev studios sole discretion to do it such as Mercury Steam patching stuff not Nintendo as Nintendo does not care as long as they hit the sale numbers they were hoping for within the first week
Take this as a life lesson: love things for there perfections and there imperfections
if you're so passionate about speedrunning why don't you learn how to go fast in the version of games without that glitch?
I think he didn't bring it up since that sorta stuff is kinda niche and isn't a real problem. Games have been getting re-releases and patches all the time and communities are used to making sub categories and rulesets about which version of which game to what degree of glitch breaking are played.
Further most glitches are the result of minor oversights that occur from the act of creating an entire game from scratch; I doubt that not being able to wrong warp to the end of the OoT remake is as much about Nintendo going out of their way to spite 0.1% of their audience as much as them coding something from scratch will result in those specific oversights not existing.
Thankfully Metroid Dread isn't experiencing this same issue oddly enough. It did a BIT when they patched out the glitch that lets you beat the game suitless but developers seem to be aware of a lot of the other speedrunning glitches and haven't patched them ou-....WAIT A MINUTE SOMEONE ABOVE ME ALREADY SAID ALL OF THIS LOL IM BLIND
I so loved getting out of bounds with the net glitch in ACNL, so it was devastating when the 2016 update patched it 😔 You can’t even get an original version of the game as far as I’m aware, as it forces you to update if you don’t have it.
While Sega actually _hired_ a fan developer to make an official Sonic game, Nintendo just takes down every single fan game that comes their way. Seriously, I consider AM2R to be much, much better than Samus Returns.

Ik you wanna build up hype and interest in your projects or show off the process, but just release it, let people download it and it'll be out in the wild before Nintendo takes it down.
It's more the news media needs to not report on Nintendo fan games. The fan games live perfectly fine for months even years, until an outlet shines a spotlight on them. The games get killed because of the articles. There are even fan games that have been around forever, but never been reported on and they have not been shut down.
Better yet, "leak" the source if you get a C&D. Nobody can prove you weren't hacked.
Release the source code and build instructions in a torrent to make it as hard as possible to swat down.
Yeah Pokémon brick bonce has to hide
Wasn't there people who had it way worse by following this advice?
If Nintendo's able to prove culpability on the devs for doing something that hurts their brand image (including the exclusivity of their brand), that's not a C&D, that's a lawsuit.
Sure, fans get what they want because it's on the internet; it's there forever, but devs have to remember that a lawsuit that puts them into a hole forever is also a thing.
The advice should be; make it as legally distinctive as possible and don't use Nintendo-made assets.
Also, don't use direct Nintendo's games' names, that if a google search happens, it shouldn't be able to get confused with the real thing.

I honestly see this hostility towards their fans is reaching a boiling point, there’s going to come a point where people will have had enough of their bullshit.
Another economic collapse like Obama and it will happen again. They got sick of it during the Wii U era but it wasn't bad enough. Now we have a lot of Agenda 2030 playing out literally in front of our eyes and people still deny it till one of their own loved ones is hauled away. BTW: This already happened in 1939.
I hate to say but it won't happen. For as many people as there out calling out Nintendo on their bullshit there's two bootlickers who defend the company tooth and nail saying they're doing nothing wrong.
People are too comfortable to make any fucking change. We could call out the rich for their corruption and the corporations, we could make some huge differences, but people live in such propagandized worldview. Like E1lite Yoshi said, there are always people who just seemingly live to defend awful practices. So many people live in black and white, unnuanced ideologies where they cannot imagine enjoying something and asking better of it, or calling out bad practices while pointing out fun and good ones as well. If they love something, then that must be accepted 100% for everything it is no matter what. It really is a reactionary mindset.
Well most Nintendo fans don’t know or care about anything in this video, so a loud minority of people may be upset but the silent majority is gonna continue worshipping Nintendo.

he's right. they licensed a POS called the "speed board" which was literally a piece of plastic to set your controller in, that purportedly "put the speed at your fingertips" but really just made games unfun to play.

Nintendo should've learned from SEGA. One of Sonic Mania's developers used to work on a fan-game called Sonic Megamix. And Sonic Mania is being referred as one if the best games out there.
In the case of Pokemon Uranium, Nintendo should've just hired the creator and probably could've made Pokemon Copper and Pokemon Oxygen. Who knows how much that would've changed the anime.
The thing about Nintendo is that no one has locked them in a room and forced them to understand how copyright works and how over-zealous they are about it and what they can change about what they are doing. They need to actually understand it.
It would be better to be the other way around, sega should learn with nintendo how to do good platformer games, to don't need to hire fans.

If memory serves, there was a guy who did an impressive Skyrim mod back in the game's earlier years. It was on the scale of a DLC/expansion, and he was the only one to work on it. He got hired onto a gaming company for pulling off such a feat (I think it was Bungie). Also there are currently huge mods being made that either remake the entire older TES/Fallout games being made that Beth/Zen/MS haven't shut down, and honestly those companies would be foolish to not hire some of the key staff to help them with future titles with the work they've been doing.
Here's another thought: Why didn't Nintendo offer to either buy out something like AM2R (just buy the dev's game and sell it to make profit and everyone wins) or at least consider hiring some of these modders/devs to work for them? So much potential, but yet Nintendo throws it away to keep this "honor" of their properties... Nintendo saved the gaming market, and honestly they still are by being an example to others as to what NOT to be in terms of customer/fan relations.
Several mod teams have been hired by Valve for their work, too. Actually, almost all of Valve's game IPs started as Half-Life mods. There was one HL2 modder who made Minerva Metastasis, which was also similar to a DLC and within the same canonical universe. He got hired after making the mod, though I don't know the details.
The main dev does work on some Nintendo games such as Hollow Knight after the AM2R thing so eventually he did not let his talent go to waste
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena Milton Guasti (the guy who created AM2R) works at Moon Studios now and helped develop Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

Then you have no real voice chat in Splatoon, no good way to team up with friends, no real social features on the console.
They're so anti internet I'm surprised you even have an account with all of your games still, the 3ds forced you to transfer all your games over console to console, you couldnt just redownload your games on a new console.

I don't know if it's a miracle or Nintendo just didn't care that Mother3 got a fan translation.
I really don't know what happened there either, but I'm extremely glad they decided to ignore it (I'm pretty sure they contacted nintendo too).
Supposedly the creator of the fan translation received an email from a Nintendo representative saying that if the fan translation ends up releasing, that it would ruin the chance of mother 3 ever receiving an official translation.
Well the thing is, Mother 3 got some serious controversial issue that prevents Nintendo from making an english translation of the game (or re-release at this point). So, this fan-made translation actually preserve Mother 3 with their fandom as Nintendo doesn't have to pay for the price of the game's content ( *cough cough* Magypsies *cough cough*).

This also ties back into the whole CZcams and Nintendo controversies, even if someone makes a video making negative comments about a game, other companies see this still as a positive since it’s basically free advertising from popular internet celebrities that say this game is good, even if it isn’t it still spreads awareness about a game and can push devs to make a game better in turn

"It seems like since the Wii, Nintendo consoles are just filled with more and more parts that are going to break"
I just want to point out that every iteration of the DS went through incredibly rigorous tests before Nintendo was happy with their resilience, like being dropped no less than 20 times from a 2-story building. This whole "Nintendo hardware isn't what it used to be" is a pretty recent thing. The Wii may look and feel flimsy, but let me tell you, that thing is durable as hell. And that goes doubly so for the Wii U.
the wii U's controller was durable, but it sucked. it was very heavy and clunky feeling, and the buttons were always a _little_ too far away from where they should be.

I’m no conspiracy theorist but I am convinced that joycon drift was intentional and it exists so people buy replacement joycons, thus paying Nintendo more money. It is more beneficial for them if people replaced their joycons every year or 2 than having the same pair the entire time
And even better for them that they can act like 2 separate controllers so they can charge full price twice,therefore making them the most expensive reference controller ever,only behind wiiu's controller (at least wiiu's controller has that cool feature of acting like the screen for the entire console)
@Zer0 yeah that’s really smart
Considering that the price for a pack of two Joycons can go for $70, I am CONVINCED that they probably did purposely design the joycons to be faulty after temporary use just so they can easily milk cash out players.
Planned obsolescence. It's a thing and it happens with many electronics, specially with smartphones
In my opinion i think it could be possible but considering nintendo offered to fix the drift for free soo idk
