    Aw yeah, James, as soon as I saw that little bit of your collection in Wade's video, I knew I had to sub.

Video style itself is like a more calm Ashens, which is probably what you went for, and that's all right with me. Subbed, mate.

    The reason the titles are removed is to not infringe trademark law, which is enforced differently to copyright law. So, if a bootlegger were located somewhere where the copyright for the games aren’t enforced, but the trademarks are, removing the title logos from the games could allow them to continue making bootlegs unimpeded by Nintendo and law enforcement.
    That’s of course why the GameBoy showed the Nintendo logo on the boot screen. The Nintendo logo displayed on a GameBoy on boot is located on the game cartridge, and the GameBoy checks if the boot image on the game cartridge matches Nintendo’s logo. If the is a mismatch, the game won’t launch, if there is a match, Nintendo could potentially take action for trademark infringement.

    Fun fact about Fami-clones (Expanding on whats mentioned earlier in the video): The original patents for the motherboard and chips in the NES and Famicom expired in 2003, so its 100% legal for them to be made as long as they aren't stealing copyrighted Intellectual property, which is why so many famiclones has cartridge slots that can read original games, meaning that the consumer has to buy the copyrighted game, making it entirely legal with no breaches of copyright law.
