In another chapter of Nintendo vs Youtube, the Japanese company started to take down TAS (tool assisted speedrun) and Rom Hacking video of their games. One of most famous speedrunners of Super Mario World in Youtube, PangaeaPanga, had almost 80% of his videos removed from Youtube, including one with more than one million views (Hardest Super Mario World Level Ever).

Nintendo alleged that these type of content is piracy.

The copy of Nintendo anti-piracy team e-mail sent to PangaeaPanga:

Nintendo also sent PangaeaPanga an email, explaining that it believes it owns the exclusive rights to playing its games in a public space like YouTube
That's kinda fucked up.

Killing off works and showcasings of an entire community who have been providing content that Nintendo couldn't offer until the release of Mario Maker which was yesterday.

Doesn't Nintendo also take like 40% of your ad revenue? Why are they so bothered by fans making lets plays? Other video game companies don't seem too bothered, some probably encourage it.

Yeah, missed the assisted tool part in the OP.

I guess if Nintendo can't prove that you legally paid for your ROM they want to be better safe than sorry.

I don't think it should matter to them though if they aren't promoting illegally downloading their games. Nintendo as a company isn't doing too well so I can see it's over reaction to this type of thing.

I love the ability to just download SMB whenever I want off the internet for no charge.

But it is piracy. I can't refute that, and I think they are totally in the right.

Also emulation offers a service that Nintendo and many other publishers haven't been doing well which is letting us play some damn games.

Nintendo is out of touch with gamers, Youtube is paramount for everything related to gaming these days even if it's just trailers, if it's not on YT in some way, shape, or form unhindered or mostly unhindered, it won't sell, taking content related to your IPs off Youtube will lead to their eventual industry suicide because even the hardcore Nintendo fans will have enough and stop buying their products.

I don't disagree with that so many old games are virtually unplayable just as a matter of them being unnatainable. While I think piracy is wrong in general, I don't think it's wrong of us to resort to piracy to play these games.

However SMB has been available for a long while now, ever since the Wii, and on multiple systems.

caim flip this around when china are cought steeling Us IP rights you get piss of as do alot of people in the us even tougth copy wight lawas are diffrent in china to the the have first to file not first to use

but the anger is t stil there there is psme time im pro piracy like when a liancsor make more money of the produnt than the perosn who made the prodcut to begin with i say better both make no money than the parasite make more than the creator

making money off stuff you have no right ot od so is wrong im an oirgnak hard were purist also but over all
if you monetize a copy right infringeed video that copywight infringement becomes Copy wight theft

uless is under full fare terms od the DMCA ir criticism commentate or parody thats is like TB ofr exmaple as muc as i diss agree with iim on alot of things him get a video taken down whren it was in fair use was wrong but stuff that is not under fair use should be taken down

if these were not under fair use then yes they should be taken down


thats is the letter of the law

Sure, when an updated and current service allows us to obtain old games, then emulation loses a bit of justification. But so far, Nintendo still isn't really offering an adequate selection of its classics yet. Sony used to be adequate with its classics as well (Being able to access a numerous amount of the PS2 library on PS3) but not anymore after the switch to PS4.
DateYutaka said:

That's a lie. It is virtually impossible for me to legally play Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War in the US because it has never been localized. I would have to learn Japanese and import a famicon along with the game itself. But at that point, emulation simply offers a better service. Why should I do all of the former when I can download a SNES online and play an english translated rom of Genealogy of the Holy War instead?

To paraphrase Gabe Newell: “The easiest way to stop piracy is by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.”

I wouldn't support Nintendo if they started to take down things like FE6 translated videos and basically anything that currently isn't available.

I also recognize that for a lot of people it would mean going from something they got for free to something they have to pay for, which doesn't make sense from a consumer standpoint.

TAS and Rom hacking introduces people to Roms. TAS is the question "but how did they do this?" and Rom is just... self explanatory.

IMO they should include SMB 1-3 and SM world in Super Mario Maker, and release new versions of Maker periodically with updated content.

Well it kinda does make sense from a consumer standpoint. Support the products you love and you're going to get more from the maker. Despite being an emulation favorite for an entire decade, Earthbound had an incredible sales response when it released on NA virtual console. So much so that Iwata supported the idea of finally localizing Mother 1 and 3 in English.

Listen to the fans -> Provide a service better than piracy and competitors -> Both sides benefit.

It's exactly the reason why Steam and Sony are getting more and more of their target audience.

That kind of stuff doesn't make sense to me. "We wont release it on Virtual Console, and we wont see the money for it if you buy it used, BUT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EMULATE OUR GAMES EITHER". When did gaming ever stop being about gaming, and start being completely about money? Makes me sad.

They made Tennis for two, which was made to prove a point, and was basically the first computer game and a rudimentary version of pong. Basically everything after that was for money.

Yeah I wasn't quite in that line of thinking. I've spent thousands on Steam (not bragging). I've bought games I never would have even pirated. It's an extremely easy service to use, that is easier to do than pirate games.

These days you can even buy PSN games straight from your PC. X-Box is headed in that direction as well, probably. Nintendo might not be far behind though, as you can access Miiverse through its website.

This really isn't much of a big deal at all, but I do think Nintendo *really* needs to listen to its fans better. The release of Mario Maker is a step in the right direction at least.

Hopefully they'll give us an actual Metroid and F-Zero title, localize the Earthbound and Fire Emblem titles they haven't already, and be open to more third-party support. *points to signature* ;-)
