Nintendo Is Not As Family Friendly As You Think

- Nintendo. Beloved video game company. Safe. Warm. Nurturing.
For anyone who has played video games, this Japanese company has a very special place in our hearts. Gamers of all ages get nostalgic thinking about that first time playing Mario, Donkey Kong, or Zelda. But what if I told you that this company has a much, much darker history.
That’s right, much like Disney and movies, once you push past Nintendo’s family-friendly image, the company’s practices start to paint a different picture. From their treatment of their own employees, to destroying the communities who play their games, it becomes quickly apparent that Nintendo, the billion dollar corporation that defined your childhood, isn’t the fatherly figure they make themselves out to be. Today, we’ll be exploring some of the unethical things that Nintendo has done over the years, and present a different angle of this beloved developer.
This is the dark side of Nintendo

Did you know that, despite Nintendo's hostility towards modding, homebrew, and rom hacking, you can mod your 3DS?
It's surprisingly easy to do.
Its also the only way to obtain some of their classic ds games if you dont want to pay 200 dollars for a shoddy second hand cart on ebay
@@Lilybun Yeah, I modded my new 2DS to play Ghost Trick and TWEWY for the first time, as well as the Sonic Rush Games again. Some GBA Games too like the Klonoa GBA titles (buy KLONOA Phantasy Reverie Series btw)
It is such a good homebrew system and joking copypasta aside, I highly recommend anyone even remotely interested in playing DS, 3DS, and Gameboy/Advanced games in that form factor to pick one up. You don't even need one of those bootleg cartridges just a space on the SD card
@@QuestionableLogic_ I still use my 3DS pretty frequently, but I've never messed with homebrewing it before. If I were to, would it mess up any of the "vanilla" games I have downloaded or their save files? Also, could you reccomend a good place to find instructions on how it all works?
@@TrueYankeeFan The way my homebrew setup worked never messed with system updates, eshop or online functionality so I dont think it would mess with your stuff either. Dont remember where I got it from specifically, I just googled how to set it up and it was pretty easy, at least compared to how incredibly obtuse homebrew was to set up when the console was new
@@TrueYankeeFan it doesn’t mess with that stuff
Terrible online, underpowered hardware, terrible treatment of fan projects, consumer hostile. But dayum do they have Mario.
Pff, they have more than just Mario lol.
I mean, the hardware thing is a lot more complex than it just being “underpowered” with how the system is set up, and the online sucks because they refuse to make actual servers and try to run everything P2P.
But man are they consumer hostile. I don’t think any game company is that bad with some of the decisions they’ve made.
I'm glad they havent released a good pokemon game in 10 years so I havent felt the urge to support them financially
@@poolturtle5772 consumer hostile? Well that's new lol. I thought we often use the term "anti consumer". And you sure? Pretty sure there's many vg companies do poor decisions, especially jp vg companies.. "cough" Sega...
@@Lilybun Nintendo doesn't make Pokémon game though, but man I xc3 is such an awesome game nonetheless. Glad Nintendo now cares about jrpgs u Ike a decade where Nintendo really doesn't give a damn on jrpgs except Pokémon.
This is why I love SEGA where they actually encourage their fans to make fan games, heck even praising their fans for making fanart, fan games, and fan films
Yeah but at the same time they cant make anything themselves the best sonic game in ages was mania which was a fan game they funded sega without fan games would go bankrupt at least nintendo can make a good game
@@jknifgijdfui you are correct with that for SEGA with their games but in all honesty if you put in perspective the only bad Sonic Games in the 2010s were Sonic Boom, and Sonic Forces respectively, Sonic Origins is honestly an outlier but Sonic Frontiers I'm very excited for that to be launched.
@@ds2561 sonic frontiers looks good but not as good as bowser fury
@@maplemiles3381 facts! Although I still have faith for Sonic Frontiers. The Sonic complainers just need to chill out
@@M64bros I'm on the fence I like the combat in it
A month ago, I committed the most abhorrent sin according to Nintendo's eyes.
I pirated and emulated GameCube games on Dolphin.
And did not feel guilty.
At all.
your days are numbered buckaroo
You will be taken out by their assassins in a few hours. Hope it was worth it
Congrats! There are many great games that can only be played like that now, since NSO is pretty bad.
Well your c***
So... You feel guilty when emulating non Nintendo games?
Nothing about their behavior during the 80's? Demanding 3 year exclusivity for any game released on NES, preventing retailers from slashing prices on games...
That in itself leading to some of the third party developers to move on to other systems for more freedom. Fun stuff.
@@KonaKonaKaabisteru Nintendo was the reason the PlayStation became so successful.
One thing I can't stand is the instinct of nintendo fans to come to the defense saying "it's within their legal rights" to make the competitive smash scene and nintendo content creator's life a living hell when their actions harm their reputation, don't benefit them financially and don't protect anything since they are not producing a lot of the old products that people want to play.
Nobody is arguing that’s illegal either, which is why those folks miss the point.
Just because you have the legal right to do something, doesn’t mean its the right thing to do.
@@ThomastheDankEngine8900 100%
Rule of thumb with big multi-national gaming companies: There are always a few good actors that make everything better, but the corporate folks are demons.
Iwata was different
@@FormulaFanboy I miss Iwata
@@FormulaFanboy4:40 Reggie fils-aime too lol I was wondering who phillamy was lol pronounced fees-a-me, Reggie 😂. Though his disrupting the game book has a typos warning on Amazon, and audiobook has an exclusive dlc like interview. But thankful he got wii sports bundled with the console. GameStop thought he couldn’t be trusted with secrets, so he left.
I do recommend the ask iwata book. Better quality control and to the point, rather than typos and not have enough gaming info. There’s also the doomguy book by John Romero (nice way to celebrate quake 2) that is great as well.
As part of the melee community it’s nice to see everyone else seeing the kind of shit we’ve been putting up with for well over a decade
Bruh just move on... I left Nintendo in the dirt and stopped paying anything to them, it is a shame I was able to download a rom and play it in a Switch emulator BEFORE it even releases to people who already paid for it beforehand...
I don't understand why the Smash players keep beating a dead horse instead of move on and play a new game... they keep the most toxic relationship alive
Melee has had nothing to do with nintendo other than bans from tournaments. Trying to hang on to a broken old fighting game by an ancient dev is never going to work for you.
Move on kid, melee is dead.
@@Mark-ps7eh point and laugh guys
@@Lanzetsu I don't think you would understand competitive smash melee players. 😏 You're just an outsider looking in. Yes, this game is 2 decades old. Yes, they still carry old-fashioned crt tvs, but for you to say its a dead horse is nothing but false. People get paid/sponsored to play a game like that. The community is an extremely active that carries its own weight despite Nintendo's involvement. Is it Toxic? Do some of those players smell like shit and piss? Fuck yeah. However It's far from dead, if so, then why would Nintendo themselves partner up with Panda Global to host something the Panda Cup? Why is there a cash prize for it? I await your explanation. I don't do competitive smash anymore, but I can respect it for what they can do.
Watching Nintendo try to tackle piracy and modding is truly among the most hilarious events of this generation.
They're the Disney of videogames
Kid friendly until income is involved
At least disney lets you watch their good old movies. Good luck getting your hands on hgss or bw2 if you dont have one already, last i checked the former were 200 bucks second hand and they killed 3ds shop before ever releasing digital versions of half of their best selling ds titles
I dunno, Disney owns Hulu, ESPN, almost 50 percent of Hollywood, and could live exclusively off their theme parks alone if they wanted to. That's not mentioning their hand in every other form of merchandise imaginable.
Nintendo's not very consumer friendly, but Disney is an active problem in the global entertainment economy.
@@citizenlame246 name something disney doesn't own or wants to own lol
Monopoly on entertainment for sure
@@citizenlame246 I just realized, you might wanna change your legal first name, disney might sue XD
No company is on your side. They will only be on your side (temporarily) if you pay them or you run it.
Yes and no, corporations only become corporations once all they care about is money and power and pleasing share holders.
People say indie games are the best but they can easily go the same way in a heartbeat
@@GimmieDaDnB dk on that.
The more I look at their actions the more I think they're inept at even trying to make money.
There's many ways to they choose not to and be fustrating.
Nintendos always been shifty we were just naive kids
Combines the worst of Disney and the worst of Apple while having an outdated company policy made by old Japanese people.
Nintendo is my childhood, but I'll always miss the the GC era Nintendo.
Wii era better
Omg so true
As a nintendo gamer: Nintendo is like a japanese step dad who acts warm and nice when you first meet him, he convinces your mom he's a family man, hard working, studious, and has a big heart. Then a few years go by, he is passive aggressive, he yells at you for tiny things, sometimes you feel he can't stand you just being in the same room as him, he communicates in all but words that he hates you, he did go to your little league baseball game a couple times, but mostly to win points with mom and tell you your trash and need to play better. Then once you're a teenager, you get into a fight and he kicks you out of your home. A few year later, you come back home to find he and mom have taken to foster care, and let me tell you, they love those little foster kids more then they ever loved you.
That's been my experience with nintendo
that’s...oddly specific?
I actually wrote a letter to Nintendo as proof that they still listen to their fans and they do after I told them about the whole people using Iwata's death as a weapon against them but thankfully it's not happening anymore.
@@M64bros ...so?
@@EbonMaster just telling people the truth.
@@EbonMaster Also, thank you for mentioning that this was also happening during the Iwata era. I'm absolutely sick of people pretending everything was beautiful and pretty when both Iwata and Reggie were still around. It's just that people using both as an excuse of them won't make a difference.
Nintendo back in the 80's, 90's used to work with the Yakuza, there was even a weird incident where all of the prototypes or materials for a rival console were robbed suddenly, I can't remember if it was the mega drive or the Sega Genesis
Nintendo stalked a man?! The fuck?! How have they not been taken to court for invasion of privacy?
If Nintendo wasn't such a shitty company behind the scenes they would literally be the best fucking video game company of all time
Agreed Nintendo has one of the strongest IPs on their hands and somehow they manage to ruin themselves by shitty basic business practices. Sony and Microsoft would be completely left in the dust in the gaming industry if Nintendo JUST has even the most BASIC action towards proper customer service there.
@@dereklucks4549 agree. But on the other hand we know that direct competition with Sony and Microsoft is a bad idea. Like they succeed when instead of going with what is reasonable, they go "who cares Sony is making new gta on psp, LETS MAKE BRAIN AGE"
I'm considering making an IP and a console just to try and beat nintendo. I know it wont be pretty easy but i'm still gonna try until i have nothing avaible
Nintendo as a Developer is amazing.
but Nintendo as a Company is dumpster fire
same with every gaming company. everyone's a dumpster fire
Valve - Nice mod, want a job?
Nintendo - Omaewa mou shindeiru
Man I'm so glad this stuff is finally coming to light. I've been saying this for years, thank you so much for this video!
Why nintendo is hostile?
2 words : Japanese boomers
@kontraksionista I do business with Japanese citizens I can definitely tell you the issue it’s the shareholders that fund the companies they don’t work on the projects they have other people do their work and they make the rules which is terrible.
Some food for thought, since they've become too big to fail, it'd take a countrywide boycott just to significantly impact their bottom-line, and it'll take more than that to convince them to change their ways.
I dropped Nintendo after being a loyal fan for 20 yrs after joycon drift
We have to boycott them, we'll buy every Nintendo product used now
I actively tell my friends to pirate Nintendo games And I hope you all do the same
I would rather not be a criminal like those types of people.
@@M64bros Better stay within the lines of a crosswalk on the road then, don't want the swat team chasing you down for jaywalking either.
@@M64bros quit licking nintendo's boot
@@03chuckie imagine agreeing with a youtube video that also supported a disgusting smash community with p3dos and pr3dators in it
0:14 Correction: The GAMES they make have a special place in my heart. Nintendo as a company itself, does not. Very important distinction.
Finally a real guy that knows the truth, The only part I don't like about Nintendo is their broken DMCA bot or team in Japan. But I still respect their developers manners that work on those games
The Devs inside the company made the games you love, who most of them don't even work there anymore but luckily for Nintendo they have some good talent still.
Nintendo is just a corporate husk of a company
Exactly I totally agree with you
Do you remember how Nintendo prohibited the winner of the Smash tournament on EVO Japan to be rewarded money and only gave them a golden Pro Controller?
I am pretty sure this had more to do with the japanese gambling laws...
@@RFLCPTR that didn't stop all the other games from getting actual prize pots from their developers
A golden pro controller is still something I will be more happy to win a gold medal over cash
Here an idea, Nintendo is actually Yakuza and they works as such.
And Shigeru Miyamoto was the spike of it's gain
@@bailujen8052 So what you're basically saying is Shigeru Miyamoto is The bad guy and wishing he's dead. Am I correct?
Cuz that's something all Complainers say
@@M64bros Miyamoto gets more praise and blame than he deserves
@@aquamanbeforehewascool5347 So you think he's doing all those decisions even though he's not the CEO of Nintendo
@@M64bros Exactly not, hence my comment. Many people always pretend that Miyamoto is like Nintendo himself, that he is responsible for all decisions and that the rest of the people in the credits just programmed everything as Miyamoto tasked. So I'm with you
It's genuinely tragic that a company which has produced so many brilliantly-conceptualized games with such innovative and creative ideas is so shit in basically every area beyond game design itself.
The terrible treatment they give their fans, yet those same fans will fight tooth and nail to defend it. Crazy.
I actually wrote a letter to Nintendo as proof that they still listen to their fans and admire their fans
@@M64bros I'm sure you got a "response" back about that letter.
@@CGImpala yes I did. They told me they're on both sides and admire that I make Mario videos surprisingly. I'm sure no other Nintendo TH-camr wrote even have the balls to do that
@@M64bros And that's your substantial evidence of Nintendo caring for their fans?
@@CGImpala yeah, I could have joined the others on the Nintendo hate, Right before they decided to use Iwata's death as a weapon against Nintendo, attacking innocent people for liking Mario striker's battle league and switch sports, spreading misinformation about the company, pretending everything was beautiful and pretty when both Iwata and Reggie we're still around during the wii u failure. I love all of the CEOs just the way they are. Also, here's a real fact I'm about to tell you: both Doug Bowser and Shuntaro Furukawa Never made the decision to make the paid online membership, It was planned long before they even became presidents, which means Reggie himself was affiliated with that decision and well Iwata was hospitalized and giving Sakurai the final mission to make Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The thing is some of these people that complained about Nintendo 24/7 can't even get their accurate information and jump straight to make believe conclusions. Me on the other hand, I make sure that information is actually realistic and truthful rather than making up lazy crap just like they are doing. That is why on my TH-cam channel I'm always truthful and serious.
The situation in smash is odd to me cause even Sakurai likes the competitive side
Sakurai was the director of Smash and was the main cause of the watering down of competition in the transition of melee to smash 4. he only warmed up to it retroactively in ultimate years later.
@@josephmama6212 Nintendo didn't want another Melee and demanded Sakurai make Brawl more casual
I bet if Sakurai did smash for Sega instead of Nintendo, it would have been different
Well, this officially aged like milk after what the competitive Community has done behind the scenes
As someone who worked on Project M, I am always livid when I see how they treat our players. Unlike Nintendo, I actually love the fans of our work. I want them to be happy and succeed. The difference is we don't make a cent out of it, yet we care far more.
Nintendo exists because of "us". They should be thankful we put them in this position to begin with.
Nintendo has done far more tuan even this video shows, and it would take an entire documentary to talk about everything.
Nintendo should not get a pass. Ever.
ok but they have mario kart tho
@Nuke Sony Hey, I got an idea. Let people enjoy mods.
@Nuke Sony I see how it is. Not worth debating with you.
@Nuke Sony fanboyism is never a good thing
@Nuke Sony That made no sense, whatsoever.
Why is this a shock? Nintendo the corporation has always been cutthroat and ruthless against anyone that opposes them.
They have been like this since the 80s.
I learned a long time ago to separate Nintendo the game developer and publisher from Nintendo the corporation.
@caryslan5890 Long story short people think it’s Nintendo but it’s the shareholders they’re just greedy and tyrant
Coming back to this after they just shut down SWT... what the fuck are they doing
That's the panda CEO
@Victini0510 It’s shareholders not Nintendo themselves, they’re trying to control their market by forcing people to just buy full priced games.
I never thought Nintendo was friendly. Then again I've been a melee player for many, many years. They have been screwing us over from day 1. They don't just not support us, they have in the past actively gone out of their way and spent resources to fight against tournaments and streaming of the game. They famously tried to block Evo from streaming the game and had to back down due to massive backlash, which was considered a huge win at the time but at the same time it didn't help all the other tournaments that got screwed over or the fact that the PM scene got outright destroyed. They could have spent the same money they were using on legal fees and cease and desist notices and sponsored the event instead. Rather than burning PM to the ground they could have hired some of the devs and maybe in ultimate there couldve been a game mode called like "retro smash" or something that uses melee physics. But instead of embracing the mods and making the game better and uniting the smash communities they just burned PM to the ground. It makes no sense. Even from a money perspective. Melee has a massive scene of players about on par with ultimate. Half of their player base isn't spending money on the new game...
Edit: well clearly I hadn't finished watching the video before I commented. I'm really glad you addressed melee.
I think they just don’t need to. Releasing a lazy new game catering to the masses makes them more than enough easy money.
Also don’t underestimate the ratio of casual mainstream gamers to hardcore competitive audience.
Tbf your community stinks.
This would be a good home movies episode
Well why would a company supported a modded game that gets then no revenue and minimal to no benefit. I think people have just gotten used to companies supporting mods and stuff that they get mad at nintnedo when they don't just because they expect every business in the industry to follow what others are doing. Nintendo is jusy protecting their product and IP. Technically and legally we in the community are the ones doing wrong because we don't have the legal rights to mod or broadcast without permission. Fair use technically is a work around but it's not a perfect system. Especially since it's a US law and so a Japanese company like nintendo doesn't need to abide by it. It's just a massive cultural difference which is also why most fans who are upset are American/follow a more American presence online.
It's not on par with Ultimate in terms of size/entrants. But it might have been if it had been allowed to flourish, it might have been bigger even
Always pirate Nintendo games
True
@@mr.junior7880 as long as those are not supported consoles anymore(i include 3ds and Wii u here) i fully agree, since there is a major difference between emulation and piracy.

Remember when video games were just fun? Now it's the same cost as your apartment rent.
Sold my Switch for the Steam Deck and likely not looking back. Yuzu is getting multiplayer compatibility and that will be really nice for emulated switch games. Nintendo doesn't deserve the benefit of a piracy moral compass for how much they rely on the same Switch goalposts since 2018 "wait for NSO update, wait for BoTW 2, wait for switch pro, dont sell switch online is great", keep eshop prices at 60$ from 2016/17, the limited mario anniversary DIGITAL launch, etc. Would recommend saving your $300 or $349 for a Steam Deck that's capable of much more.
Not everyone can afford a steam deck and make fun of innocent people who can't even afford one. I have a Windows 11 and a Xbox 360 but not everyone is rich and spoiled
@@M64bros Where did I make fun of people? Where did you assume rich and spoiled? Say I bought a switch oled for $349, 4-5 games, the 12 month only collection onlune membership. I could buy a Steam Deck or even a PC, stop sipping your copium.
@@DrBeevo I'm not saying you're making fun of innocent people. I'm just telling you the examples of what's been happening outside of the hate that I'm sure some of the complainers didn't tell you or what you know about them. Also, I tried getting a steam deck on my own But unfortunately, almost All of them are expensive on eBay.
@@DrBeevo Sorry if I confused you a little bit.
You know it's bad when SMG4 made a Story Arc about it.
Just beat Odyssey on my PC a month or so ago. Decent game.
@Jeff Logan Yeah i just emulated it. A Lot more fun for me at least than playing it on a underpowered handheld. Heck if Nintendo put its game on steam i'd probably get them on a sale sooner or later. But hey its their prerogative,
@Jeff Logan I get that. All good. They got a lot of money off me back in my salad days at least haha.
Sadly this is nothing new. Development wise nintendo has progressed far but business wise well nintendo hasnt survived for over 100 years while many of their business counterparts have fallen for a good reason.
To us its nasty practice. To them its just doing business in an ever competitive environment. Like every big corporation.
Nintendo is a corporation. So what theyre doing in the end is nothing new
@@simonchai3040 its bad for business to not sell their own games, they dont make any money on ebay scalpers who have the only legitimate copies available so theyre straight up leaving money on the table
From the outside looking in it may seem like bad business practice. But at the same time their 140 yr survival probably means they are doing something right. Which that kind of info only they are privy too.
Do we want them to be more generous. Oh yeah. But as we all know generiousity doesnt actually exist in the real sense when running any kind of business.
@@simonchai3040 It's not some secret info only they have access to nor is it essential for their long term survival to not sell their own goods and services in the age of digital distribution. Its bad and lazy business, like a supermarket that buys stock just to let it rot in a warehouse because they make enough money selling other goods to not have to care about the waste.
Nintendo is currently big enough that they can run their monolithic business with free money left on the table with little care or concern. This wasnt the case for the vast majority of their 140y history in case you didnt know.
Its weird but this is like the 10th instance this week of me seeing this phenomenon of "well they're doing it so it must be something they HAVE to do" despite evidence to the contrary (for several unrelated topics). Nintendo's practices arent always in anyones best interest in the long run, even their own (see the Wii U era and their decisions during that time, including their old TH-cam policy). Their general mindset tends to be "pushing for more control is better" but, as history has shown, that's not always the case.
I work at a game store. It is very easy to see that the general good-will toward Nintendo has dwindled. Especially with Tears of the Kingdom being $70. I've seen many of my customers hesitant to pre-order any AAA Nintendo game out of fear due to lack of polish/content from previous titles Nintendo has released recently.
12:26 Okay so putting an image of Masahiro Sakurai here is... _kind_ of in bad taste, because he's pretty much a third party contractor who hasn't, to my knowledge, done anything to the Smash community (and if anything, him and his team are the reason characters like Bayonetta got nerfed as requested).
Also, unlike Nintendo so far, he's actively realized many fans' dreams by pulling strings to get Cloud (and later Sephiroth) in the game; not to mention King K.Rool and Ridley, two of the most requested characters in Smash.
Hell, even Byleth was a community nod, since that character's trailer directly references the amount of Fire Emblem swordsmen that popped up (a common complain by competitive players around the world) only for him to use more than just a sword.
As a last point, Sakurai also directly addressed that adding Steve from Minecraft was Nintendo's idea, which suggests that he's not a part of their business landscape.
Pretty much confirmed at this point, since he's got his own company.
I... know this must sound super nerdy to anyone who doesn't know any of this, and I apologize for that. I just want to say that this is the wrong target to put in this video. I usually don't comment this way for this channel, but I'd feel shitty not doing so when I have genuine stuff to share on this topic.
If I got any of this wrong and Sakurai's actually just as big an asshole, _please_ let me know.
nope you're not wrong my friend
He is Also the creator of Kirby, who Sakurai gave to HAL labs, and that was his best decision because HAL(And Sakurai) cares about the Kirby fanbase, giving out great Kirby games, tv show, orchestras, mini story books ect. Kirby and the ForgottenLand, Kirby's Dream Buffet and Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe( Coming next year) shows that HAL, definitely cares about Kirby fans. The only time they did things Nintendo's way was with star allies..and they never did that again.
@@alphonsejohnson5601 Oh, I am _very_ aware of that. His li'l pink boi is in good hands, too, it's great.
Though I gotta say, Despite having elements of commercial stuff, Star Allies in an absolutely amazing send-off to everything Kirby's done from Super NES all the way to the 3DS and Wii. Like seriously, there's a lot to love about this game.
That said, yeah this added element is totally why I posted the originnal comment! Sakurai deserves lots of respect, and doesn't have much to do with Nintendo's marketing stupidity.
Have a Like, by the way! Kirby deserves love, and it's nice to see that you know exactly why that is. ^_^
@@nnayylewis4733 Thanks for the support ^_^ I appreciate the positivity.
@@twaggytheatricks4960 No problem, I've been a loyal Kirby fan since 2008 and I would have never been interested in Nintendo if Kirby didn't exist.
I used to play smash in high school back in the late 2000s and I ended up quiting smash because they would shut down locals. THEY KILLED THEIR OWN GAME. Funny enough 6 years later Blizzard would do the same with Overwatch. That is a riiiiip
Then to add salt to injury, smash brawl fighting style was purposely designed to be a party game thanks to tripping.
@@therealjaystone2344 Yeah I remember ngl as bad as the Wi-Fi was on the Wii I remember doing the ladder on websites like Allisbrawl and what not good times haha. I remember doing online tournaments a few times man time flys
If we _dont_ criticize them, they will not improve, if a 3rd party criticizes them and pressures them into going forward with improvements they wouldn’t do on their own, they’re _forced_ to improve lest their relationship with said 3rd party become strained somewhat. This is how corporations function unfortunately
The smash and splatoon communities were pretty much vocal when Nintendo filed a cease and desist on The Big House for online melee. The splatoon community actually changed their nicknames to #freemelee. They paid attention to it, they didn't care, resulting in the Top 8 for the official tournament to not be aired.
@@Hondunu Splatoon fans are shills too lol
Sadly even if u criticize em, they refuse to improve either.
@@PickledKong64 Same goes with the smash fans. The smash community is a cold-blooded toxic community itself that used Iwata's death as a weapon and sent death threats to Sakurai and his team over a stupid DLC fighter that never made it to Smash and continuing to spam free melee considering some of the people don't play Melee and aren't interested in melee. I'm just very happy and satisfied that the community itself is already dead. It's kind of cute and funny how the TH-cam channel itself is an esports community considering they never told you about the toxic side. Probably because they're hiding something they don't want us to see.
@@invertbrid well since Japan lacks the message of eternal gift
It is ALMOST guaranteed Nintendo goes to Hades for each person who died.
I am not defending nintendo however I would like to point out some misinformation in this video so you know. Nintendo online is not 5 dollars a months. It is 20 dollars a year. And joy-cons that drift can be send in for repair completely for free no matter what. I am pretty sure everything else in this video is correct.
Wait what about the panda thing? Like smash tournament or something(I don't own any smash game so I don't know)
Finally a real actual dude that knows the truth!
Here is one you forgot. That dates back to the NES era.
Nintendo's certification on the NES.
They bullied devs back when NEC launched the Turbografix/PCEngine, if they made games for that platform, they would pull their Nintendo Certification for their consoles.
For the love of God if you're gonna shut down pokemon Uranium for violating copyright then the least Nintendo could do is actually make the modern pokemon games worth playing so I don't have to resort to rom hacks.
Isn't Pokémon Arceus good?
@@alphonsejohnson5601 I'd agree that legends arceus was good, but its like comparing apples to oranges. Legends Arceus was great but in terms of traditional pokemon games, they haven't made a good one since SM (I think USUM was great but its too close to the original to be worth buying if you already had SM in my opinion.)
@@ethanwolters7901 heard that's because the A-team who usually worked on Pokemon got bored or afraid of monotone branding, were working on Little Town Hero at the time, and only returned for remakes or spinoffs(like Legends) while mainline Pokemon games were done by the B-team newbies
No matter how amazing a game is when everything around the platform from the console to the services are terrible and anti-consumer it's hard to keep loving Nintendo

What they said to treehouse guys for SUGGESTING a nuzlocke run is a primary example of how shitty of a company they are
Blame Miyamoto for Nintendo's success
Why not Nintendo hire those very same modders to make your older game playable to make them available for switch
For me I knew how bad Nintendo really are back in the 80s when they had a strong hold on the video gaming industry and I remember when and where I was when I first played any Nintendo games as a kid for the first time.
1980 (age 8) - Got the Game & Watch games from Woolworth in NYC.
1981 (age 9) - Played my first Donkey Kong arcade in a pizza restaurant at NYC Essex and Delancey street.
1985 (age 13) - Got the NES Deluxe Set with Rob from NYC store.
The NES does not count when it comes to sales. Nintendo cheated with it's illegal monopoly forcing nearly every retailer to only sell NES consoles and games, and forcing all 3rd party companies to make games only for the NES. Anyone who tells you that the NES has a legitimate sales margin compared to the competition is deceiving you. It was all forced. Think communism but in a video game industry. When there is nothing else to buy at the local shopping mall, the only choice parents had was the NES. Toys R Us and Macy's were the only retailers that I know of that sold the Sega Master System way back in the day. Control!, Control!, Control! - th-cam.com/video/nwd56K7rp7A/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, Nintendo's policies were pretty crap in the 80's. Still, it's not like they forced the developers to sign the retarded contracts in the first place. If they didn't want to sell out to Nintendo they didn't have to, so while obviously most of the blame goes to Nintendo, the developers were looking at teh munnies too.
Actually, they did force publishers; that was the problem. If you wanted to release games for the Master System, TG-16 or 7800, Nintendo wouldn't sell you or would undersell you cartridges, if it allowed you to release games for the NES at all. It would also "ask" retailers not to carry your product.
It was a massive success, Nintendo carved out it's own market and made it very hard for competitors. Evil? Perhaps but to the victor goes the spoils.
Being successful doesn't give a company any right to monopolize the market and remove consumer choice. The fact that Nintendo's massive dominance evaporated once it no longer had complete control shows that consumers wanted options.
Even AAA Game Publishers Think Nintendo Switch is for Kids Nintendo did this to them self in three strikes.
strikes one: Nintendo marketed there gaming system as a toy after the VG Crash of 83.
strikes two: Nintendo wanted to brand there systems as "family friendly" after they censored MK1 for SNES.
strikes three: Nintendo created all there IP like Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach in the style of Disney characters.
And you wonder why everyone and there uncle see Nintendo as a kid company.
Damn what an interesting data you put there, thanks for the info, I didn't know it was THAT BAD
@@Lanzetsu Yeah there's many more back story on Nintendo supplely bully other companies from even selling there games as Atari try but failed in a bad way but still show Nintendo side not in a good light th-cam.com/video/vu_btLmrH2I/w-d-xo.html
This is super consistent with their recent overcontrolling policies so it kinda seems legit.
"Think communism in the video game industry" my brother in christ you literally just described unrestricted capitalism
Well Nintendo gets what they deserve since N64 where third party games are impossible to make on Nintendo consoles
Nintendo did not have GTA on GameCube, even if they wanted to but GameCube discs are too small
I'm really curious now after watching a couple of these kinds of videos on Nintendo, does Nintendo of Japan operate/think in similar/same ways as Nintendo of America does? How does Nintendo of Japan think of emulators and roms? Are there cease and desist letters being sent to Japanese citizens over some issue?
Actually, now that I think about it, I do remember one thing that happened in Japan, had to do with Go-Karts and using Nintendo like something or another that forced them to change the name of the whole thing. So perhaps they are😬
My relationship with Nintendo is this: I'm absolutely a fanboy of Nintendo's games and some specific developers/development teams, but freaking hate Nintendo as a corporation. I don't need to run over how they own most mainstream game franchises but for sake of detail let's just mention stuff like Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Kirby, Fire Emblem, and even more, and obviously they have incredible developers like Miyamoto, Eiji Aonuma with Zelda, and more recently Hisashi Nogami and his development team working on Animal Crossing and Nintendo's most recent smash hit Splatoon. All of that on its own is fantastic, but everything this video covers has been coming out at full force recently, and I can only hope that it leads to a change if not simply so Nintendo doesn't eventually get one of the biggest PR nightmares in gaming history. The only part of this that was happening during the Iwata era was the Smash thing, and even then Nintendo just kinda shrunk back after a lot of backlash and ignored it after that until 2020 when we had a new president. It seems like Shuntaro Furukawa, Nintendo's current president, is running Nintendo exclusively as a corporation first and foremost, and it's having an impact on the employees, on the dedicated Nintendo fans, and even the casual gamers who just like Nintendo because of Mario.
Unlike the complainers, I actually have faith in Doug Bowser and Shuntaro Furukawa But I will admit that the DMCA stuff is pretty crappy Also real fact, Both Doug Bowser and Shuntaro Furukawa Never made the decision to make the paid online membership, It was planned long before they even became presidents. Let's hope this whole hate comes to an end real soon
@@M64bros Hopefully it will end soon. I am kinda sick and tired of hearing that Nintendo is a bad company.
This stuff was happening during the Iwata era too my friend.
@@AceLoveheart Yeah same here
@@EbonMaster Finally a real person that knows that everything wasn't beautiful and pretty when both Iwata and Reggie were still around. I love both Reggie and Iwata Don't get me wrong but the past was never perfect.
Very strong Video! A good Compilation of all the bad things that are happening at Nintendo.
Nintendo fell off ever since they started cracking down on Project M. That and shutting down melee tournaments. After that, they just suck now. The games are good, but their practices are reprehensible for how family friendly and open they seem.
They do literal mafioso tactics to take down fangames. If its getting to that point, I think we need to scale it back and think: Seems like overkill for a fangame. You know, a game made by a fan that is most commonly non-profit? I think that deserves scrutiny regardless of how good their games are.
But knowing how there are actual brainlets who still buy Madden every year, I majorly doubt consumers will stop buying Nintendo games en masse anytime soon. This will keep going until the money stops flowing. Stop giving them money, and they will start to listen. You take away their power, and they are about as beneath us as the average joe. Do what you must boys. #NintendNO
yes, I buy games on switch. but they're all 3rd party now except kirby (which can count as 2nd party. nintendo publishes and has partial ownership, HAL develops and also has ownership). but I only do so for the devs so their hard work isn't wasted.
@@turretboi Sure but like, we gotta let them know their shady practices aint going unnoticed, and the way to do that? Stop buying their stuff. If enough people can do it, they will have minimal choice but to comply.
Notice how they stopped their lootboxes after it couldnt be played in Belgium due to laws? Thats clearly to keep the money coming, not really to allow accesibility to em. That tells me they will listen if the money is on the line.
So really, that makes the play obvious: Dont buy their shizz. Dont buy Nintendo Online, their merch, their games or their consoles. If a mass group can do that, it will be felt by them. Words do nothing, but actions do.
it may work in the USA. but good luck persuading those in Japan where they have fans of immense stronghold.
Don't forget that most of their culture is group harmony centric. Not individual centric. Persuade the group, you got a better shot at potential change in culture movements.
@@sammichu1906 yes i am. But it still supports the devs and is actually more powerful than my potato computer
You actually support a smash community that has a lot of terrible actions and has a toxic community that sends Sakurai and his team death threats?

This channel is slowly starting to look like the score esport. Less and less video games documentary or analysis. And more and more drama, scandal around video games scene
we should certainly be mad at the higher ups, but not de the devs.
The devs are clearly verry passionate about their work, the higher ups are just passionate about money.
that's how I see it.
Well, Sakurai has been a dick to Melee players too
The developers wouldn't rush a game if they weren't used to it already. Directors man.

I would say a smash tournament shut down is just out right a slap to the fans for smash and as of now 2023 the games and things Nintendo is cooking up is not that great and other’s problems arises if these things don’t get resolved. It is a great interest that Nintendo needs to change.

@@featherpheasant3851 ...that wasn't including you. You're among one of the good people. I'm reffering to those herds of lunatics who will take the first opportunity to tell you whatever game you like is crap because Nintendo made it.
One thing that astounds me the most about Nintendo is how much they can actually get away with their failures and bad business practices. They can do everything as mentioned in this video, while also having a couple hardware flops along the way (Virtual Boy, Wii U, etc.), and it feels like for the most part people will go, "eh, whatever" in a week or two. However, if a company like Sega makes their own mistakes (which, Sega surely has), they'll get lambasted *10 times harder* by the general public.
The problem is, Nintendo can afford terrible unethical decision-making because they have the *most memorable* video game franchises of all time, paired with some of the *best* game development talent on their team. So even if Nintendo does something incredibly evil that hurts their PR, they can announce some new big game during one of their Nintendo Directs and people will just eat it up, because of its cute, colorful art style and amazing gameplay. As long as people continue supporting those games, they're unfortunately also supporting bad business practices-- and it's making them money, so they can care less. Nintendo will never have a "lesson to learn", because they're not getting any serious repercussions for their actions.
It's been very confusing to discern what I should do about Nintendo as a consumer. I want to support good games and the developers making those games, but I *don't* want to support a bad company. I think when we hear more about the Switch 2, that may be the turning point for me whether I stop supporting them completely or not.
Greed is a powerful and disgusting thing.
Racism required. Japan is responsible for the abuse because they are very violent and unprotective to up

To be fair this is practically every company in the industry.

@Nuke Sony
Probably because unlike the other companies, Nintendo consistently gets defended, even when they make horrible decisions.
Between Nintendo and Sony the Japanese videogame industry is really behind in almost everything.
It always makes me glad when someone covers this... I've been talking about this sort of thing for a long time and always get a ton of hate. You know the type of person that defends them no matter what messed up thing they've done? It is because of delusional people like this that they keep getting away with these things. Hell, you can go all the way back to our childhoods where they did everything they could to force other developers to ONLY make games for their system and not a competitor; if you wanted your game to be on a Nintendo system they forced you to sign an agreement that it wouldn't be on any other system. They did everything they could to create a monopoly and everyone forgets that.
Nintendo still makes great games and hints you people still buy them your video is very biased
Considering The TH-cam channel itself is an esports community that has a toxic side of itself. I have to agree on that part

This is getting boring and repetitive. Then it's time to turn over to the "I-don't-know-what-the-hell-else-to say-so-a-word-from-our-sponsor-inator".
How are you meant to convince an entire fanbase to protest Nintendo when they're still using them as their platform?
You just have to accept that Nintendo is no longer a gaming company. They're growing the Disney mentality.
well, now that I'm seeing what Nintendo really is, i'm no longer buying any of their games, I will only use their consoles to play non-nintendo games, also I'll be switching to Playstation.
there was also this guy that goes by the name "Gary Bowser" that they've sued for selling switch modification, there were also dozens more people that affiliated with him and they've could've punished them, but no, they punished him only. he only earned $300,000 and sued him for 48 times the amount he's earned, $14 million, nobody has that kind of time and money to pay all of that off, the average person's salary is like $45 thousand, he's 53 and if he was that average person, by the time he's 80, if he used his money to only pay Nintendo, he would have to pay them $1,215,000, wich is only a fraction of what he owes them. that being said, suing him is pointless for a company that has $52 billion in net worth, they basically ruined his life. even if he somehow finds a way to gain all this money to pay off that debt, I would still never forgive Nintendo for making this infinity and beyond unhinged decision to sue one person, ONE SINGLE PARTICULAR PERSON, for 14 million dollars
also giving their reputation for horrible workplace enviroment (which is probably why former CEO Reggie Fils-Amie left them), numerous ammount of copyright abuse for petty reasons, especially on youtube, tackling videos containing even a fraction of any (and I say ANY!) their IPs, regardless of wether they follow fair use or not, regardless of if they make any amount of profit or they're not even intended on making profit, they'll still take them down, not to mention what they're doing to PointCrow (who makes Breath of the Wild mods for entertainment, and has no intention of making them public, nor profiting off of them), they gave him multiple strikes, giving each video a strike, rather than rounding all the videos into one strike, they're directly trying to drop his channel into termination
and that decision to file a Cease and Desist order for EVO because Mr Beast donated half a million dollars to EVO was already an unhinged decision to begin with
Nintendo is stooping so low to the earth's core
even EA and Ubisoft wouldn't stoop as low as them. (that's right, I'm making EA look less horrible in comparison to Nintendo, fight me!)

But they still listen to the fans after I told them about people using Iwata's death against them And it needs to stop
This wont be an easy thing to change, when it comes to abuse and the status quo in Japan, they sadly go hand in hand, and is the norm, I think in order to make a dent you need to unify the Japanese players/fans along with the global player base cuss at the end of the day they are a Japanese company, hit them in there home turf and we have a chance to make real change for the better.
I still don't understand how people can praise them and shit on EA, Activision and Blizzard. They still have some good video games going on and no one can argue that "most" of theirs games are polish and up to date in term of technologies.
Nintendo may be many things. But at least they’re not staffed by rapists and pedos like EA, Ubisoft, and Actiblizz lol
I like them for their creative developers and beautiful console designs and gimmicks.
Agree to an extend. Yes praising them is idiotic concept, but comparing them specifically to blizzard always seems way to much, for every company I believe. Mostly for the lawsuit from state of California, that is fucking terryfing what they described there.

@@mr.junior7880 and the gimmicks have creative potential, rather than just "bigger storage and RAM for prettier graphics"
Nintendo USED to be family friendly. Now, not only do they accept hentai games in their store, they advertise them
I bought a used Switch, installed CFW and started to pirate Switch games around 2019. They're too draconian with their policies and I hope one day it'll bite them in the ass and a complete shakedown happens in the company.
Well, after the SWT news, I'd say we shouldn't only criticize them, we should basically put them to a public trial. But for real, I don't even understand the PR of this? It was not like the SWT is any harm to Nintendo, the opposite in fact, it probably helped them sell more switches and copies of the game.
Nintendo is the most anti-consumer company
funny enough they even shut down a Splatoon tournament because the comp scene for the franchise at the time saw what was happening to melee and in protest, immediately responded by changing their tags to variations on Melee or FreeMelee.
let me re-iterate: they stopped footage of a Splatoon tournament from playing because they were butthurt over the players supporting Melee's comp scene.
Really glad stuff like this gets more and more attention. Videos like these are really important. Nintendo's been getting away with too much these past years, especially after the huge success of the Switch. If any other company effs up, the community's immediately out to get them. But in Nintendo's case, that's rarely the case, simply forgotten after their next big reveal or some fanboys even step up to protect their shady business without knowing anything about their practices. Gamers need to view Nintendo the same as any other big company such as EA, Ubisoft or Microsoft. If they screw something up, let them know. Like, REALLY let them know.

Title is kind of off if you already had a negative opinion of Nintendo
I think with Nintendo, they're sorta fucked, excuse my language, if they have another GameCube or Wii U level failure, which I do think is possible. I'm sure that once the Wii came out, people thought that Nintendo could never stoop back down to the levels of the GameCube, but come 2012 and that's exactly what the Wii U did. In both of those situations, it's been the hardcore fans who've bought Nintendo systems. The people willing to wait for a new 3D Mario game, wait for Mario Kart, wait for Zelda etc, when those games aren't there at launch. But they've been so hostile towards the community in the last few years that I'm not sure the hardcore fans are going to flock to the rescue.
The shutting down of the Smash tournaments, the constant battle from content creators, their really shitty online service, which can we acknowledge how the online infrastructure got worse going into the Switch compared to Wii U, and it was free on Wii U. When a Switch content creator passed away, someone worked to create custom joycons in memory of him, with all proceeds going to charities helping mental health among young people, and Nintendo took them down.
They're really a shitty company, easily my least favourite among them, Sony and Microsoft. At least those companies are actively trying to give you ways to play their older games.
You want to know the real reason why they shut down the smash tournaments, the smash community is a disgusting community with a bunch of crybaby 35-year-old neck beard that cry over a stupid 21-year-old game, not not every casual gamer is interested in and they are p3dos and pr3dators behind the scenes that got exposed to the public and this pathetic esports channel defended all that.
Also as a 3DS and a Wii U owner of my own I know an absolute fact that not everything was beautiful and pretty during that era and it had some problems as well, I'm not nostalgic blind like those pathetic complainers that weaponized Iwata's death harassing and attacking casual gamers for enjoying tears of the kingdom on switch hardware and enjoying it, supporting the toxic smash community with a bunch of lousy 35-year-old neck beards that cry over a stupid 21-year-old game and are p3dos and pr3dators behind the scenes, Wishing Shigeru Miyamoto is gone or dead all because of story changes that I'm Sure not every casual player is completely interested in, blaming splatoon 3 developers, sending Sakurai death threats over DLC, bomb threaten Nintendo HQ over Gary Bowser and believing misinformation that Nintendo assassinates or kills anyone who is named Mario or any of their IP which is truthfully not real.
