Sacrifices to the Church of Nintendo

Yeah SEGA's better

The most ridiculous petty thing I remember Nintendo doing was when they forced the Internet Archive to take down scans of Nintendo Power magazines. The free online availability of those old magazines, which ceased publication going on nine years ago, posed literally no meaningful threat to their intellectual property whatsoever. But nope, Nintendo Power is ©Nintendo, which means the only legal way to observe these pieces of gaming history is to purchase some guy's soggy, ripped old pages that were sitting in his attic. An act of purchase which, by the way, doesn't net Nintendo a single cent. Just a pathetic action on Nintendo's part.

You should have mentioned what happened to Mario Royale. Nintendo attacked it as per usual for fangames, but when the dev decided to revamp it using original assets (DMCA Royale), they came back and forced him to shut it down entirely. Then the Mario 35th direct came along, revealing that they copied his idea for a limited-time release. It’s among the most disgusting things the company has done in their history of anti-consumerism, and I still get angry thinking about it.

nintendo gotta be one of the only companies that actually fucking hates its customers

It is always morally justified to pirate old Nintendo games

Emulation doesn't hurt Nintendo But I really wish it did

It's funny how this video is about Nintendo being anti-consumer and fans being willfully oblivious to it, yet Pokemon is barely mentioned. They could hand out a bottle of dishwater with a Pikachu picture on top and their fans would defend it to their graves

this aged well it will probably age well for at least 5 years

Fans: "Can I please buy this game?" Nintendo: "No." Fans: "You don't want my money?" Nintendo: "No." Fans: "Okay... I guess I'll have to just emula-" Nintendo: "NO! THAT'S STEALING!" Fans: "FINE I'LL JUST MAKE MY OWN FAN GAMES." Nintendo: "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

nintendo chooses quite possibly the worst hills to die on. every. time.

Gilvasunner got axed, Gary Bower got thrown in jail, and the Eshop announced its shutdown all within a few weeks. At the same time, they made a direct to shut people up. My God, this video is the finest of wines.

Here we are again 7 months later. Nintendo shuts down GilvaSunner and then throws out a Direct announcement barely a week later. Utter nonesense.

nintendo could club baby seals and the fans would think it’s promo for ice climbers 2

"I'd quote tweet you but i'm afraid you'd ask for royalties" is officially the best post on twitter

It’s always morally acceptable to emulate games Even more so if the company doesn’t want you to

Nintendo fans are the type to call disney adults crazy but fail to see any irony

Helen Parr: “Whether it’s fair or not, that’s the law.” Bob Parr: “The law should be fair.”

i really hate how nintendo doesn't make their game soundtracks readily available but will issue copyright strikes to anyone reuploading them to youtube. it's within their rights to do that but it's pretty crappy to make them as difficult to purchase and hear as possible.

Nintendo is the epitome of “you’re having fun wrong“.

Nintendo: does bullshit Nintendo Fans: spend hours explaining why nintendo did not do bullshit, its good actually, theyre allowed to do it
