It's where I managed to try out the first Mario Galaxy and even Sunshine, and it's also where I grabbed a digital copy of NSMBWii since I have a scratched up (but still readable) legit copy of that game but can't play it on my real Wii because is not usable as of making this comment (it's not dead but the Wii is in a now kinda messy room where I can't play it now). I'll miss that site so much...
I mean, I know I clicked on this video for the stolen assets, but now I'm just intrigued by the game itself. I'm not really interested in the snowboarding, but holy hell this game looks so full of personality, and I love 2000s pop culture and this seems like a prime example
Not even kidding when I say this, but I think stealing assets for a game like this actually helps contribute to it's presentation, back then any game was able to get away with *literally anything*
I remember going to university and being in a bit of a slump, not really going to class and not really socialising. I had a crappy CRT in my room and my 360, and was looking through my game collection for something to play. Found this, wasn't sure where I got it from but thought it would be fun. I was blown away by how creative the whole thing is, really put a smile on my face and I always look at Amped3 with fondness since :)
I hate that I'm enough of a nerd to mention this: The portrait sprite could possibly actually be mis mashed sprites of Eliwood from blazing sword, Roy's dad, and Roy. Blazing sword DID see a release internationally, and thus makes a lot more sense to have had assets pulled. Something about the mouth looks closer to Eliwood's blazing sword sprite to me somehow, and some of the eye shapes that are shown during the spastic animation look far more like they were pulled from Eliwood. It's hard to tell, as Eliwood is very similar to Roy, intentionally, with Eliwood technically having been designed after with a slightly more angular/sharper look to his features.That said, the standing combat sprite is absolutely Roy, so it's quite likely most the portrait assets is also Roy. Also, yes, it's a shame it took Awakening for the games to take off in the west. I blame a lack of marketing, because Sacred Stones CERTAINLY could have taken off if there had been better awareness of it in the general public eye, considering it's the game that introduced a number of the things that made Awakening more palatable to the general public relative to other FE games. There is a reason the GBA fire emblem games have a relatively active modding (romhacking technically) community to this day.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this! That could make sense as to how one of the employees made those heavily traced sprites if it's Eliwood's sprites rather than Roy's.
This game looks insane. This is the type of game you'd see small teams make as throwbacks to their favourite franchises. It's like watching a nostalgia tribute from the time you'd be nostalgic about what a trip.
I didn't care about the stolen assets I just appricated a video on Amped 3. It's like you said, Amped 3 is TRULY underratted. This was my launch title of choice and I have such good memories with it and when i go to see if other people liked it, it has ZERO online presence. The story is a damn fever dream (perfect if you "partake" like I did at the time), there was so much fun challenges to do, the combo system was "Tony Hawk" fun, and the soundtrack was so good that to this day I still have the artist Anberlin on my Spotify playlist whom I found from this game.
Just got this recommended, as soon as I saw that portrait and sprite I knew it was Roy, this whole situation is super funny, it's made even funnier with the commentary though, I was laughing all the way through, so you've earned my like :)
The prequel game released after Roy's game, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, introduced the somewhat canonical mother of Roy, a light blue haired dragon. It's either an insane coincidence or a deliberate reference that this is just Roy with light blue hair and dragon ears, along with other minor edits.
The amount of people (like at least 2) who are complaining that you didn't immediately show the sprited and didn't make the video less than 5 minutes long is crazy
Don't pretend you didn't expect a bigger reveal when you clicked on the video. Together with most of the vid not being on topic, this is bait by definition. It's crazy how many people don't like deceiving TH-camrs. XD
I honestly wonder if Nintendo could've done anything about it, since the sprites are edited so much. I know I see products with Mega Man sprite edits all the time that aren't licensed by Capcom, and Capcom doesn't do anything about them, so I wonder if there's a point where you can edit a sprite just enough to avoid legal action.
depending on the amount of editing, it can either be considered derivative use (you have to get permission/license) or transformative use (different enough so the copyright belongs to you). in this game, the sprites have a color change and new hairstyle, which is too little to be considered transformative. still, it's up to court to decide.
it is probably considered derivative content, which means that you still have to get a permission or a license. if they redrew the sprite from scratch, it would probably be seen as transformative content, which means you own the redesign, although trademark laws could still be an issue. sorry if you got this notification twice, youtube keeps removing my comments for no reason.

I feel like this could probably fall under parody, since it's used as a pastiche of JRPGs in it's genre and in a comedic manner you aren't intended to mistake for the original. It's very brazen, and copyright laws are different in the US and Japan. And that it was a direct asset, not a general parody or style pastiche, may raise some questions. But there's a strong chance that this was fine actually.
funny how Amped 3 and SSX On Tour came out at the same time. They both had stylized menus, and while they hadn't done it yet, the SSX series reboot would've eventually use real mountains (hell, it was the whole gimmick!)
10:29 i think it's just a parody reference to the Roy sprite most videos game characters are appearing in TV shows and others way in the style of parody or bootleg this is 100% fair game by the developer and Nintendo when bothered by it because it considered to be a parody
TH-cam constantly unsubscribes me from channels refueses to give me notifications for half the channels i watch but it will happily fill my notifications with random videos from a channel im not subbed to nor have ever heard of. Cool.
9:06 I mean I totally clicked for a different reason, but I am now _fascinated_ by this game’s utter absurdity. There was _nothing_ that could’ve prepared me for the cutscene compilation. I’d gladly listen to a discussion of the soundtrack, vs mode, and/or plot. I’m hooked.
Damn, Roy was everywhere back then except his game huh? Also oh god I think I just rembered I played the 2nd one as a kid! Good video! The nerd who drew the thumbnail also did a good job, whoever it may be :^)
I want you to know that I clicked on the video because I saw a blurred Amped3 in the thumbnail. Here's to being one of the 25 (*self proclaimed) people that have played this game.
I think what people should do so they can make the fan games that they want out of Nintendo properties is by finding similar franchises to the Nintendo one they actually want to use and use them instead like here's one example people should start making fan games of A robot named Fight instead of Metroid. stuff like that is what people should be doing instead. the developers of these games that are similar to Nintendo ones like the example I used a robot named fight won't sue you or get you in jail for trying to make a fan game of their game. they'd most likely appreciate it.
@DgovuoBut it really didn't. There wasn't enough stolen/not a big enough story around it to deliver 19 minutes of content. Yippee, a heavily inspired and referenced icon where a tweet would've been sufficient. Heck, I'd gladly watch a video twice as long about stolen assets - when it actually talks about stolen assets.
Game was a fever dream, 3rd game I got on my 360 a week after I got the system for my birthday in early 2007. Game was so wacky yet so fun. I kinda miss it
They used an edited Roy sprite from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and put it in one of the first missions, in the select screen where you pick it. You can see it at 10:27.
So... They got away with it because Fire Emblem had yet to take off outside of Japan and because Amped 3 wasn't a commercial success; had Nintendo done something, it would've triggered some kind of Streisand Effect.
I think part of the reason Nintendo is so strict with copyright stuff is cuz they're kinda forced to thanks to some really archaic and outdated copyright laws that came out in the economic crash of the 90s that supposedly happened and allegedly still exist somehow
yeah i don't lmao, i just wanted to have something in the video to help visualize things throughout the video, so i used one of my OC's for this 💀 ig that it's cringe but idrc tbh
The design of the face picture is definitely changed enough to where Nintendo would not have a case, the full body also probably is changed enough. once you change every aspect of a face it becomes a reference.
When you were talking about the character voice tone customization in Amped 3 I was thinking about Fire Emblem Awakening for the Nintendo 3DS with the player Avatar customization. When I saw the sprite I didn't recognize the asset of the character they were using but I knew it was from a GBA Fire Emblem entry, I thought it was Ephraim from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones because if you noticed something they inserted that games logo to that part of Amped 3, however it seems they used Sacred Stones logo, put Roy's sprite and story portrait but forcely inserted Ephraim's hairline and color scheming to Roy's portrait.
The way the game play looks it looks like it wants to be Tony Hawk but with snowboards. Tricky Madness is literally if any Tony Hawk game was a snowboarding game.
The hell do you mean the binding blade wasn’t localized? it literally was sure it wasn’t called the binding blade, but it was the binding blade. It was literally the first fire emblem game released in the west.
Color me not surprised, because even Marvel/Disney verbally made the pun of "Captain Felcon" when it came to the scene of Blue Felcon becoming the next Captain America and one of the characters joked on what to call him. And as far as I'm aware, Nintendo didn't do shit about that despite this being one of the only note worthy things related towards the Phase 4 MCU TV shows. (Just like Fire Emblem at the time, they don't care about the F-zero series to do something about it and they went after similarly bug companies in the past.)
They’re not stolen assets, they are borrowed sprites heavily altered, or inspired from. You want to claim something is stolen, you can look at the many covers from ‘80s NES titles such as Metal Gear Solid 2 or Contra which where created off of the pics from Terminator, Predator and Aliens, but no one cares.
Those were made in the 80s and sometimes they even got into legal trouble. Also, that's not "borrowing" that's STEALING, it's no different than a Chinese toy company "borrowing" assets for bootlegs.
@@DarkOverlord96 A lot of "assets" of games are used in other games that are heavily altered, technically maybe they aren't legal since I'm no lawyer, but people do it all the time on whatever. I seriously doubt anyone is getting sued over it and Nintendo loves to sue.
How did AMPED 3 do in sales? Well, let me put it this way... I own and have completed Amped 1 and 2 on the original Xbox and enjoyed Amped 1 and 2 and I also own 146 Xbox 360 games (even some of the more obscure Kinect games) and I did NOT know there even was an Amped 3. How the heck have I not known about Amped 3 till now? I have no idea, but it's obvious that Microsoft did a HORRIBLE job letting everyone know that Amped 3 even existed when it came out for Xbox 360.
yo i just wanted to say that i really enjoyed this video and now i really wanna play amped 3 the game looks really charming. Also i see that a lot of the comments here are saying "omg why did they make an introduction for nintendo bla bla bla" and my feedback about that is that i don't mind it, in fact i think it's better. If i wanted to discover the answer to the title in 1 minute i wouldn't be watching a youtube video, i would watch a youtube shorts. Seeing people talk about what they love is one of my favorite things to do here on Earth and you can take all the time you want doing that!!
I think there was a Fire Emblem Clone game that was released on the PS1/PS2 during the 2001/2002 year and I think that was how Microsoft Snowboard Game Dev got that character asset from. But that is just a theory that I think happened.
Man, seeing Amped 3 all these years later makes me so happy, it was one of the first games I ever played on the 360 and it's such a bizarre and goofy experience. Hella nostalgic seeing it again ^^
There is a lot of 7th gen titles that never got the attention they deserved (everyone was focused on big releases), I'm glad you can touch on these older games that had love poured into them. We don't see much experimentation these days. Please bring back mirrors edge :(
Ngl, Amped 3 is worth playing for the bonkers story mode alone. It's not the best snowboarding game, SSX is superior, but it is one of the better XBox 360 ONLY games. As in a game that was NEVER ported to any console. Now that the digital store is closed, this game might be even rarer.
As soon as the ripped assets were shown I went "Ohhh!" and was immediately intrigued. I played its successor, which had the exact same style, so it was instantly recognizable, and I am familiar with the game the assets were stolen from. I may share this video with some friends who may likewise find it as intriguing as I did
For as "unique" as the UI and presentation looks... it just looks like SSX On Tour's UI presentation. Not exactly a unique style if a snowboarding game already did the same thing
It wasn’t necessarily promotion, but I think Sakuri I don’t remember. I think it’s the guy who made smash, wanted another character, but couldn’t think of anyone and he was going around the studio and saw that they were developing another fire emblem game and he liked the main character so he said OK. We’re gonna put them in mail it but the game was gonna come out later, but that was fine. He liked the character so.
"nobody gaf" being the thing that saved the game from being beamed out of existence is probably the funniest fucking reasoning possible
UNIRONICALLY THIS LMFAO
Little known fact, but “stealing an asset” isn’t stealing an asset as long as you change it enough. I think it’s 25%.

You can even see the edges of Roy's hair behind the blue! They didn't even try to cover up the hair on the back of the neck either!
To answer the question posed in the thumbnail: They stole assets from Nintendo
Nintendo doesn't exactly own Intelligent systems
I should've known you were gonna talk about this game 😭
“Hey J dog, yeah hey j dog, yeah come ride with us dude” “maybe later ladies gotta get me some food”
The design of the face picture is definitely changed enough to where Nintendo would not have a case, the full body also probably is changed enough. once you change every aspect of a face it becomes a reference.
I don't think that's how referencing works...
When you were talking about the character voice tone customization in Amped 3 I was thinking about Fire Emblem Awakening for the Nintendo 3DS with the player Avatar customization. When I saw the sprite I didn't recognize the asset of the character they were using but I knew it was from a GBA Fire Emblem entry, I thought it was Ephraim from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones because if you noticed something they inserted that games logo to that part of Amped 3, however it seems they used Sacred Stones logo, put Roy's sprite and story portrait but forcely inserted Ephraim's hairline and color scheming to Roy's portrait.
My man said Angela Anaconda......... i can honestly say I havent heard that name in almost 2 decades lmao.
When game stole ninoitedio asset
good job
This is really common. lots of licenced NES games back in the day used modified SMB small mario sprites, bomberman to name an example
And a lot of pixel art edits are of megaman
Game: *has box art showing a character snowboarding*
Nick: How would I have known this game had snowboarding????
Well, that was a lot more underwhelming than I was expecting

The way the game play looks it looks like it wants to be Tony Hawk but with snowboards. Tricky Madness is literally if any Tony Hawk game was a snowboarding game.
Waste of time.

The hell do you mean the binding blade wasn’t localized? it literally was sure it wasn’t called the binding blade, but it was the binding blade. It was literally the first fire emblem game released in the west.
You're thinking of The Blazing Blade, Binding Blade's prequel.
Remember the Nintendo assets used in the Xbox game called ADVENT
I'm willing to bet the sprites were originally used as placeholders and then no one noticed they weren't replaced because no one knew fire emblem
Color me not surprised, because even Marvel/Disney verbally made the pun of "Captain Felcon" when it came to the scene of Blue Felcon becoming the next Captain America and one of the characters joked on what to call him.
And as far as I'm aware, Nintendo didn't do shit about that despite this being one of the only note worthy things related towards the Phase 4 MCU TV shows.
(Just like Fire Emblem at the time, they don't care about the F-zero series to do something about it and they went after similarly bug companies in the past.)
They’re not stolen assets, they are borrowed sprites heavily altered, or inspired from. You want to claim something is stolen, you can look at the many covers from ‘80s NES titles such as Metal Gear Solid 2 or Contra which where created off of the pics from Terminator, Predator and Aliens, but no one cares.
Those were made in the 80s and sometimes they even got into legal trouble.
Also, that's not "borrowing" that's STEALING, it's no different than a Chinese toy company "borrowing" assets for bootlegs.
@@DarkOverlord96 A lot of "assets" of games are used in other games that are heavily altered, technically maybe they aren't legal since I'm no lawyer, but people do it all the time on whatever. I seriously doubt anyone is getting sued over it and Nintendo loves to sue.
I love your OC on screen, gives the channel a bit of uniqueness.
How did AMPED 3 do in sales? Well, let me put it this way... I own and have completed Amped 1 and 2 on the original Xbox and enjoyed Amped 1 and 2 and I also own 146 Xbox 360 games (even some of the more obscure Kinect games) and I did NOT know there even was an Amped 3. How the heck have I not known about Amped 3 till now? I have no idea, but it's obvious that Microsoft did a HORRIBLE job letting everyone know that Amped 3 even existed when it came out for Xbox 360.
4:55 Vtubers
Not all of them.... 😅
1:25 it wasn’t.
Rlly?
It was though
yo i just wanted to say that i really enjoyed this video and now i really wanna play amped 3 the game looks really charming. Also i see that a lot of the comments here are saying "omg why did they make an introduction for nintendo bla bla bla" and my feedback about that is that i don't mind it, in fact i think it's better. If i wanted to discover the answer to the title in 1 minute i wouldn't be watching a youtube video, i would watch a youtube shorts. Seeing people talk about what they love is one of my favorite things to do here on Earth and you can take all the time you want doing that!!
A 20 minute video for AN EDITED SPRITE?!?!
I think there was a Fire Emblem Clone game that was released on the PS1/PS2 during the 2001/2002 year and I think that was how Microsoft Snowboard Game Dev got that character asset from.
But that is just a theory that I think happened.
the style aspect of the game reminds me a whole lot of persona 5 (especially the pattern on the disk)
This is one of the most distinct 360 games i have seen as a launch title. As someone who loves the 360, im surprised to see this game
Man, seeing Amped 3 all these years later makes me so happy, it was one of the first games I ever played on the 360 and it's such a bizarre and goofy experience.
Hella nostalgic seeing it again ^^
Amped 1 for the OG Xbox was goated 🗣️
BRO THE MEDIC BAGS HAVE THE RED CROSS ON THEM, NOT ONLY DID THEY STEAL NINTENDO ASSETS BUT VIOLATED THE GENEVA CONVENTION AS WELL
kinda clickbait honestly
🎣
that’s so frutger metro
that's so skibidi balls
Gotta love how (at least on mobile) the title reads as “The Xbox 360 launch title that got away with STEALING Nintendo’s ass…”
"Fan games" but ingore the entire mario 64 modding community 😂
There is a lot of 7th gen titles that never got the attention they deserved (everyone was focused on big releases), I'm glad you can touch on these older games that had love poured into them. We don't see much experimentation these days. Please bring back mirrors edge :(
Now we more games devs to steal super obscure Nintendo characters and edit them into something that can’t be recognized at a glance
Ngl, Amped 3 is worth playing for the bonkers story mode alone. It's not the best snowboarding game, SSX is superior, but it is one of the better XBox 360 ONLY games. As in a game that was NEVER ported to any console. Now that the digital store is closed, this game might be even rarer.
No hate or anything, but this is actually the first video ever on youtube that pisses me off in 20+ years of existence, other than that solid video
Games not being available doesn't mean it's legal to pirate them, the law doesn't work that way
As soon as the ripped assets were shown I went "Ohhh!" and was immediately intrigued. I played its successor, which had the exact same style, so it was instantly recognizable, and I am familiar with the game the assets were stolen from. I may share this video with some friends who may likewise find it as intriguing as I did
Nice video (Nintendo genuinely did not need an intro though)
Fair enough LMAO, i had to start the video in some way lol
I've had amped 3 sitting In my pile of 360 games and never thought of playing it, maybe I'll give it a try now.
For as "unique" as the UI and presentation looks... it just looks like SSX On Tour's UI presentation. Not exactly a unique style if a snowboarding game already did the same thing
It wasn’t necessarily promotion, but I think Sakuri I don’t remember. I think it’s the guy who made smash, wanted another character, but couldn’t think of anyone and he was going around the studio and saw that they were developing another fire emblem game and he liked the main character so he said OK. We’re gonna put them in mail it but the game was gonna come out later, but that was fine. He liked the character so.
