Apparently they are actually going to get rid of the "Your video will play after this ad." ones next year. I guess they ran the numbers and people would actually rather click a link in their bookmarks to somewhere else forgoing the video than being forced to watch the ad.

They're getting rid of the long version of those. They're like what, 30 seconds? The 8 second unskippables will still be in place, from what I remember reading.

When Bomberman '94 comes out on Switch VC I'm going to get 6 extra Joy-Cons and a small portable generator and spend the rest of my days playing Bomberman with strangers in the park.

Edit: I know that '94 only supports 5 players, I will play some Super R too if someone wants.

It would be cool if they allowed 2 players to share a single Joy-Con, allowing for up to 16 players

Am I insane, or was there talk of Pokemon Sun/Moon getting ported to Switch? I was kind of holding out for it on that score.

Thanks for the actual replies re: fair use etc.

Isn't there some idea where if you don't actively police your IP your claim over it becomes weaker? At least, isn't there the idea of that? It seems like it would get even murkier with international claims.

I'm not defending Nintendo or anyone else "being a dick" but there are some cases where addressing the rules is better than addressing those that try to play within them.

Like, I may think Nintendo is making a bad decision morally or even financially when then quash any perceived IP infringement, but as long as it's their right I'm much more interested in changing the rules than being pissed at an amoral corporate entity for listening to their legal department. It certainly doesn't rise to the level of me boycotting Nintendo over it, so any complaints without backing just seem weaksauce.

I'll happily rail against YouTube, but not really in favor of the people who want something for nothing from them, either.



Anyway, I am really looking forward to playing my Nintendo Switch

There's that image of the retail store setup and they've got a ton of Switch stuff all around and then on the demo TV screen it's a pic of Sun/Moon. I think that's what people we basing it off of.

Leaks, but even if they are true Nintendo probably won't announce anything while Sun and Moon are selling so well right now.

Nintendo and GameStop have both mentioned Pokemon being on Switch, and there were the odd leaks suggesting "Pokemon Stars" exists. There's some other random assortments of datamined stuff showing higher quality Pokemon models (which might be dated back to X/Y?) and how they were originally going to follow you around, but there's been nothing concrete so far on Pokemon SuMo on Switch.

That's more for Trademark. You have to aggressively protect your trademark or you can lose it. That more involves someone making their own Mario or Zelda game. Someone uploading gameplay video of a game isn't a trademark infringement. If enough people make their own Zelda games and Nintendo doesn't go after them, Nintendo could lose the trademark. That doesn't mean those people could distribute or sell copies of Wind Waker as Nintendo still owns the copyright of that.

A major contributor to the "Pokémon Stars to the Switch" rumors is that it's such an obvious good move that they'd be stupid not to do it.
