Come on Nintendo


Nintendo, I love your games, but poo poo like this is insane.

They are so utterly backwards about these things. Like, with the youtube thing, I think it's lovely what they're doing but it's like fine, people make money off the ad revenue, so okay. But this is beyond ridiculous

How is this insane? Sure, the person who made it wasn't looking to make any money, but Nintendo still makes money from SM64 and the fan game ripped assets from Galaxy, straight-up. It's not like this was a fan-game with original level design and assets, which Nintendo tends to let fly.

Everyone always says this about every company that sends out cease and desists, but they have to. If you make no attempt to enforce your copyright, it can be used against you to have the copyright become public domain. They don't want to fight it anymore than anyone else, but it could lead to them no longer owning the rights to Mario.

Edit: it's the same reason Disney sends cease and desists to daycares that paint Mickey.

I think there's either a surprise eShop game, surprise special virtual console game, or both because Nintendo Europe announces those on Monday and this week they conspicuously has no releases listed this week on Monday from Nintendo Europe so I think there's a surprise eShop game or special virtual console games or both because of that this week Nintendo Europe.

The surprise eShop release is Gunvolt.

They did it because it got too popular, too fast. That and the lovely "Hey play this brand new Mario 64 HD on your browser FOR FREE" headlines I mentioned before. gently caress, at least some gaming sites mentioned it was fan made some didn't even do that!

But yeah once something fan-made goes this viral and starts showing up on mainstream news sites I take it as a sign all bets are off at that point. The last high profile fan thing they had to shut I recall was that Full Screen Mario site that let you play a fully recreated Super Mario Bros. 1 whenever you wanted to on your browser as well as letting you make your own custom levels. That thing started getting pretty popular itself and started showing up on news sites everywhere before they put the kibosh on it.

We know now of course why they wouldn't want an open-source, free and fully functional "Mario Maker" for anyone with a web browser to be able to play around with.

Well the textures there are too blown out. They have the 64 style of texture repeating properly set up, but those are not the equivalent textures.

There's also always somebody who says this in response but swift and stern legal action is neither a legal requirement for defending your copyright nor is it exercised as thoroughly by many companies who manage to retain their copyrights. This dude making a tech demo doesn't threaten Nintendo's claim to the Mario name, but Nintendo made the decision to go whole hog whereas other companies mostly just spend their legal resources going after big offenders.

Why did Nintndo take this down? If you took this down... then make a new Mario 64 HD vers. dammit I know we got it for the DS in 2004, but I want an HD remake for the Wii U. Am I complaining too much? I don't think so one bit. I'm so drat tired of games with time-limits (Looking at you New Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 3D World) and linear Mario games.

I thought the art assets looked super familiar. Something about the models reminded me of Galaxy or Sunshine.

Itagaki didn't even like the concept of achievements back when they were something new and fresh*, I don't know what he'd think about NFC figurines.

The game used stolen assets from other Mario games, and that was probably a big reason for the take down. Honestly it looked like poo poo anyways.

They have to know about it. Basically, if you know that someone is using your copyright without permission or licensing, a claim can be made that it is public domain. It's basically used as evidence that the copyright has been abandoned. Your least serious action you can take to show that you have not abandoned the copyright is to send a cease and desist.

Disney will never lose any of the copyrights they have. They pretty much control copyright law in the US.
