i wonder if the game removed for "mature content" was actually incorrectly rated. nintendo allows full nudity in retail games, as long as their rating correctly says 18+. for eshop games they allow partial nudity, again as long as it is rated for 18+ if the game doesn't have an 18+ rating despite having nudity it is incorrectly rated, and nintendo rejects it because parental controls wouldn't work correctly for it.

[@crazysilly2914]

Also, an 18+ rating is an AO (adults only) game, since M rating only allows for partial nudity… (so essentially Nintendo allows AO pr0n games on their console, as long as it is cartridge only and not on the eshop…)

[@krimsonkatt]

@@crazysilly2914 AO games are banned in literally all storefronts both online and in person, and only around 8 or so AO games have ever been published. Most of the time explicit games release a censored M rated version exclusively on steam and then offer an "uncensored version" which is AO as free DLC. Even then the category of M rated games is very wide. It can range from basically every major Atlus title with minor sexual references, light swearing, fantasy violence, and blood to stuff like TLOU2 which is so violent that it gives R rated slasher films a run for their money and contains full frontal nudity and detailed frick scenes. Edit: Basically, if your game mentions sex in any way, you get an instant M. The same rating as TLOU2 and other uber-violent, uber-sexual games like it. The M rating is arguably the most wide in gaming since it can range from "almost T" (Persona 3 & 4, Strange Journey, Steins;Gate and it's spinoffs, Ace Attorney 5, the retro Mortal Kombats, retro Doom 1 and 2, Oblivion, Skyrim, Dark Souls 1 and 3, etc) to "the worst of the worst." (GTA, Manhunt, Postal, TLOU2, etc) There should really be a "T15+" rating like they added E10+ to make there be a middle ground between the truely adult and the slightly more violent/raunchy teen focused stuff.

[@crazysilly2914]

@@krimsonkatt not necessarily. pr0n shops may sell them.

Removing "A Dark Room" is understandable because a Ruby interface is basically THE invitation to run unauthorized code. At this point you need to figure out a security vulnerability to access the underlying system and from there on a homebrew enabler is "basically a cakewalk". I put it in quotation marks because you still need a lot of programming experience to make it work.

The Pokemon Cafe Remix part really felt like a stretch. They didn't change too much of the core gameplay. They added some RPG elements by making the level up system for pokemon have more of an effect. Also all the 1200 stages from the old version of the game is still available, you just need to go through some menu tabs and they don't really add too much to your progress other than some exclusive costumes for your pokemon. If you were an old player from before the update, they would remember your progress in the old levels but you still have to play from the beginning for the new levels. You would also get back all of your previously obtained pokemon after completing the tutorial.

You said the Nintendo Switch version of Minecraft was removed because they wanted to port over the pc version to replace it. While somewhat true, this statement is not 100 percent correct. What happened was that they originally could not get the pc version of Minecraft to work on consoles so they would remake Minecraft from the ground up to run on consoles. However, they still had to constantly update each version, and after having about 7 different versions to work on, the developers started to feel overwhelmed. What they did was they released a version of Minecraft made just for consoles, however it was separate from the pc version, and that is what replaced the Nintendo Switch version. This new version of Minecraft is referred to as the bedrock edition, and the pc version is referred to as the Java version. They did release the bedrock edition on pc, however it is commonly considered inferior to the Java edition.

[@martinde-serres8724]

Like what many people have said, the Fire Emblem physical collection doesn't have a physical cart for the game. It has a standard game box (iirc but whatever) that only contains a digital voucher code for the game, and that's the ONLY way to get the game: through the eShop. Dunno if the voucher codes still work even after the game got delisted from the eShop, but yeah people who missed it then might not be able to play it legally anymore. But then... there are 2 alternatives for that: either grabbing a physical copy of Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon on the DS or buy its digital version from the Wii U eShop before its closure late March 2023. Why this one? Because it's a FULL BLOWN REMAKE OF FIRE EMBLEM 1 aka the VERY NES game that got delisted from the Switch eShop. Now, there's the caveat of spending a lot of money online to grab a physical DS copy of Shadow Dragon or even more for a Wii U since the latter was discontinued a few years ago. Then, and yes THEN, if you go with the Wii U route, you'll STILL need to make a new eShop account, then buy a gift card for it and THEN buy the game off the eShop for about 10$ or so. I never understood why didn't Nintendo used the DS version as the basis for the Switch release of Fire Emblem 1 as it's the superior version compared to the NES one they legally hacked into making it more accessible to everyone for a very short period of time.

[@chrisspellman5952]

The coder in the game, that sounds amazing! There's games that are just about solving problems via coding (not everyone's cup of tea I know). So having to solve problems via Ruby and interacting with an API (I assume that's the intended) would be fun! (Well, for a certain kind of player)

Quick correction on Minecraft: The Nintendo Switch version wasn’t missing any features from the PC versions, but it didn’t offer crossplay and operated on a different codebase. (Also themed worlds were offered in other console versions. Playstation had a Little Big Planet one.) The new unified platform was actually built on the Pocket edition (for mobile), but I believe Windows 10 was created on the same codebase from the get-go. Also note that the Java edition for PC, Mac, and Linux that most KZbinrs play on is still a separate edition. Anyways great video! 😁

I have Mario 3D All Stars digitally, although I wouldn't go as far as to call it a "rare" achievement since physical versions are surprisingly super prevalent. I also have Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon which was interesting because I think it's the closest thing we'll ever get to Virtual Console on the Switch. I believe the physical version was just a download code with collectibles, so you aren't missing out on a cartridge at the very least. The most obscure one I have that actually ISN'T mentioned in this video is the Balan Wonderworld demo which got delisted after receiving very negative reception. This caused the devs to update the main version of the game, although from what I heard it didn't really make things better.

I think this was SUPER interesting! Love it! I know this was a while ago, but I hope you felt better quickly! Poor thing, making a vid when you're sick! You can wait to make a vid, yk! We'll still be here! You're the best, Wood

"Across all platforms" Mac and Linux apperently doesn't exist and the new version that is used is not the PC version it's mobile version

[@skiesraha1]

My SO is not a gamer but he does do computer stuff and he enjoyed this one for that side of it. Super interesting. I’d watch another video like this for sure.

[@JustCallMeGrimm]

I didn't know that Super Mario 3D All Stars was removed. Bought it when I got my switch lite because SM64, and Sunshine are two of my favorite mario games, and I knew Galaxy was supposed to be really good as well. I'm glad I was able to download it again on my regular switch when I got it.

60 seconds also got unlisted, now we only have 60 seconds reatomized.

[@nakano8412]

I have the switch edition of Minecraft on my switch still, it was quite cool honestly.

[@SuperSylar]

One thing that still makes no sense about nintendo e-shop is that they ask if I want to receive discount announcements on my e-mail and to this day I NEVER got anything. Not even from those crappy $5 games costing $1.

1: potentially check spam email 2: you need to wishlist games and whenever those go on sale, you'll get an email Hope this helps

[@guynamedjackson]

That game you cannot talk about is actually one of the best selling switch games right now.

[@whycantihaveaproperusernam9384]

He did talk about it.

One of these days, one of Bob's evil dopplegangers is going to show up in the sponsor.

@BeatEmUps Actually, the Fire Emblem "physical" was just a bunch of collector's stuff with a digital code of the game lol no physical copy of the game exists which sucks but in the least the code WILL still work if you manage to grab one without it having been used already. Alright this Fire Emblem freak has done their work for today lol

[@creators2985]

Ittle dew 2 looks exactly like the game "Zelda: Links awakening." Its not the best game from the zelda franchise but it looks exactly the same.

[@justleader9262]

Good video and entertaining I just bought Rayman legends btw which is fun any way very good channel 10/10 would watch again

[@Roensmusic]

another reason why physical copies of games should stay; when the internet fails you can still play them when you want another reason why physical copies of games should stay; you can sell games that you finished another reason why physical copies of games should stay; when you pay for it but dont get your game you can blow up the place that took your physical money (which ofcourse almost never happens when you buy physically, but this is a phenomenom that seems to happen at least one out of ten games you buy online)

[@GothAtheist]

Also, they didn't make the PC version universal, Bedrock is universal, it was never the PC version. The PC version is called Java, and unfortunately they didn't just make that universal...

[@Bleekje]

As much as I'd love to have an universal version of Java, I'm pretty sure it was close to impossible to run Java on consoles.

[@guyfawkes5012]

Yea try running java on a potato machine.. no way Jose

[@dallaspsychobilly3220]

Good job on the dark opening, I really like dark things so I felt right at home with the intro.

[@seraloro]

You always have the best creative 💡ideas for videos!😄 This was super interesting to watch!😱🔥 -The effort you put into all your videos, man, we're not worthy!🤧❤️

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

If you owned the old version of Minecraft switch, you can still re-download it! Not entirely sure why you would, but still

[@dmoehling]

Loving the video! This had me wondering… switch games have been actively being “dumped” from the start of its consoles lifespan. I’m wondering if any of these titles can be found in the “switch underground” for play on a modded console? Yet again… another valid reason for digital games to be archived. NOT PIRATED! I’d seriously be beyond livid if my stranger things DLC was removed from a game I’d purchased for reasons as described. Screw that! I bought it… You should not be able to sell DLC or game content for games when you don’t have the licensing worked out. I mean come on! This is the stuff class action lawsuits are made of. #InstantRefund

[@GrimR3xx]

Yeah you can easy obtain "legal backups" of all these games w dlc

[@Kitsune-gs7fm]

These are reasons why the gameing market isnt ready for a full digital era

[@Mr_jz_12]

7:30 it was still being sold in australia the whole time which makes it stranger.

[@TheUnHappySponge]

It's called the Tilde key. You use it to open a command line in a lot of Bethesda games, like Skyrim or fallout 3. That's why I know what it's called. You can do some pretty fun cheats with it, like giving you developer weapons or stuff that you can't normally get. My favourite is giving yourself Liberty Primes grenades and eye beam. You throw grenades bigger than yourself with infinite reach and the eye beam just shoots straight out of your chest, it's hilarious.
