[@Falsechicken]

It's entirely KZbin's policies that are the issue. Yeah the DMCA exists and all that but nowhere in there does it stipulate 3 strikes or anything like that. The punishments are up to the platform to implement so it's YT that needs to change. They are just doing what they believe is the least amount of work for them for max profit.

[@retropulse03]

No, youtube won't do anything. No it's not a perfect world. That doesn't mean ANYTHING though. This isn't right - and that is reason alone to try and make things better. The idea that perfection is unattainable, so just deal with how much things suck is ridiculous. No, things won't ever be perfect, but that's a bullshit reason to not even try.

[@MobileDecay]

@retropulse03 A woman pew pewed the youtube building over these issues and they doubled and basically quadrupled down on their shady tactics. They don't even care about the well-being of their employees. What do you think we could say or do if even that didn't get them to change course? 🤔

The new N-Word

[@charlox612]

While that would be a hilarious movement, the best way is to boycott them. People need to stop buying their products and they need to stop showcasing anything Nintendo in KZbin videos and streaming platforms. Downvote all their official videos, stop playing games like Smash or Splatoon in the competitive scene etc. Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s many of us that are that pissed to make a sizeable dent in their profits. Just look at their Creators program on KZbin which I thought would have had immediate negative effects, yet people still kept playing and promoting Nintendo games while losing a portion of their profits to the big N. They have to many fanboys and regular customers that don’t care how much of a shit company they are because they’re great developers

[@The8bitbeard]

"Nintendo" universally becomes, "that notoriously litigious Japanese video game company". "Mario" becomes, "the Italian plumber who shall not be named". See how Ninten... *ahem*, I mean, see how that notoriously litigious Japanese video game company likes it when all their word-of-mouth promotion and free advertisement evaporates completely.

@@charlox612 The only people who "are pissed" and want to boycott Nintendo are the people who want to emulate their games and play them for free. You say people need to stop buying their products but that is what the majority of people who like Nintendo games do. They buy them and play them and in doing so, let Nintendo make a profit and continue making games. The people buying games don't give a crap about Russ and probably have never heard of him. They buy the games, they don't emulate them. So, again, the only people who are saying "boycott Nintendo" are people who want to play Nintendo games for free by emulating them.... simple as that.

[@clausjahnel5379]

@the guy lacking a user name Yeah, and often simple means wrong. Russ owns a huge library of Switch cartridges, and it is h is lawful right to play these on other devices. Same goes for his audience.

Nintendo is such a petty company... KZbin needs to stop enabling copyright abuse from companies like Nintendo. Showing gameplay, is not a violation of copyright, even by KZbins Orwellian standards

[@AMidgetWalrus]

It's not KZbin as much as the actual copyright laws that are the issue. If Nintendo releases a takedown request, and KZbin denies it, KZbin is attesting that it is not infringement, and is considered liable if it IS infringing KZbin has little to no incentive to do this, and with the way the law is written, Nintendo has little reason NOT to do this if they can even make the vague arguments they made here. We need copyright reform that has a clause to prevent frivolous claims.

[@michaelwalker8250]

When the next Nintendo console gets hacked and emulators come eventually Nintendo will see the true clarity of our middle fingers.

[@jxwong_3982]

Ironically, seeing more piracy might just make them even more draconian and obsessed with IP enforcement, meaning even more strikes, takedowns and lawsuits. It’s a vicious cycle. The gaming community isn’t ever going to stop with emulation and piracy, and Nintendo likely isn’t going to compromise either-if they lose any sales at all because of it they might just blame the lost sales on piracy itself and come down even harder. The most possible solution seems to be for piracy and emulation to be driven underground far enough that the tech-savvy can still access them but they’re sufficiently out of sight that Nintendo don’t feel “threatened” by them, and possibly DMCA-compliant enough that they have no grounds to sue…but that seems incredibly far away at the moment.

[@nightshade427]

More and more I'm given a reason to not really support Nintendo in any capacity moving forward. Now they are just being petty (I'm aware they've BEEN petty for a long time now) but this is honestly childish. You could have just sent Russ an email or something to take the videos down or edit them and that would have at least been more acceptable than striking the whole damn channel. I have a switch v1 and switch lite that I really don't play because of other various reason, but I think it is time for me to sell them because I just can't get behind these movies Nintendo is making towards emulations as if anyone is doing anything wrong. It isn't piracy and even if people are pirating them games, so tf what? Y'all don't even want to reserve them properly! You're not losing any money here, AT ALL. I don't condone the high price in games, mediocre games that come with high prices, subscription fees within gaming that continue to go up, but with more mediocre offerings, but we have to do it because a company wants to "better align their resources". Unrelated in a way, but don't even get me started on Sony because my PS5 has been sitting on a shelf for over a year, but that's neither here nor through. These companies can do what they want and not do what they SHOULD do in order to be more engaging and listen to the community in terms of what we actually want within reason.

[@jxwong_3982]

With IP being a form of property, Nintendo is essentially a heavily restrictive IP landlord. What they want with their old releases and their IPs is more than just immediate profits-it’s absolute control. They want to be the only way of obtaining those games, and for everyone to come through their pipelines, subject to their availability, at their determined costs-and if that’s the case, then not selling at all is better than selling for less. It’s a rent crisis-they’d rather keep the rent high on empty homes than lower the prices for tenants who pay less. In fact, given how they seem to deploy scarcity as a tactic sometimes, I’d see their lack of access to older games as a tool for raising demand and keeping fans hungry. That’s why retaining the exclusive ability to market their retro offerings is such a big goal for them-they value the ability to turn a higher profit on rereleases in the future far greater than accessibility today. And emulation is the one thorn in this whole system. By providing convenient access at higher quality than the original system, and for completely free, on any system, it pokes a hole in their tightly limited system of control through which their “tenants” can escape. Little surprise they hate it so much.

[@borf42]

Oof. Going after Russ is a very bad PR move. I am going to double down on never giving Nintendo another penny of my money. Period.

The people that feed Nintendo don't care if they shut down @retrogamecorps or any one of us YTers. No one that supports Nintendo is going to close their wallets - especially over people emulating current and recent gen games that they actually PAID for and these people get "for free". I give Nintendo a bye regarding Switch. That's a current gen (and if Xbox Series X or PS5 emulation was "perfect or better"? You can bet your ass that Sony and Microsoft would be wielding a bigger hammer than Nintendo. Even Russ admitted he shouldn't be supporting "Switch Preservation" (aka piracy). Wii U? C'mon. 3DS?

Never fafo with Nintendo. Is what Nintendo did right? No, they are in the wrong here but…. Why risk it unless you have nothing to loose and your willing to go down fighting with a company with an unlimited legal budget. Nintendo’s pr side won’t be affected because the core fan base who buy all the latest games and products will still buy them. Parents will simply still buy their kids games and people all around the world will. I don’t think turning the emu or retro community against them will be the end of Nintendo or affect them enough to matter to them. It shucks for those who own said games and want them to live on and be archived and enjoyed for the future but unfortunately it’s just not worth the risk fafo’ing with them anymore. Rus, I wish you well brother and I pray they leave you alone and I hope they were just trying to shake you and not stop you. My best advice is to preemptively take down any spicy content or anything clips they could actually strike if they wanted to. Maybe just clip out the gameplay segments or use the blur tool we have access to on the youtube studio side on pc. Please brother don’t give up. ❤

[@TheRealAlpha2]

The retro community is half of Nindo's fan base because they rely on nostalgia to sell fans on an old Plumber and every other game they bought endlessly from them in the last 20 years. The ones that hate the thought thata few people playing an old game they way they want to and not the way the corporation wants you to will always be there lifting the massive anti-consumer juggernaut up on their pedestal, but the more people whittle away at the free publicity by not talking about their products or revisiting childhood memories (that Nindo claims to own the rights to) the more quiet the nostalgia gets after a while. Unfortunately, it could take decades of constant vigilance to really have an effect... But it doesnt mean we shouldnt start.

Nintendon't want to collaborate with content creators that way because it cuts into their profit. These corporations forget that as long as people have a desire to play the content, they'll find a workaround to play the games that they enjoy on different devices. Nintendo can't profit off the end users creativity and intelligence. Nintendo does not like the idea of their software being played on non-Nintendo hardware. How many devices out there can the Sony PSP software be played on? To think 35+ years ago, they were the main place to go if you wanted to play a game on a piece of hardware.

WARNING: You should probably remove that information about Tetris and Nintendos new beat em up. I want to see your channel stick around! Being funny, but the serious side is, I really think we need to stand up to Nintendo. Not with a movement or action per say. But with inaction. Let Nintendo have exactly what they want. Nothing. Lets not make them the topic of conversation. They're directly hurting our friends. And a better response than speaking with your wallet, is speaking by letting something disappear into obscurity. Covering news on them is supporting them. And supporting a company that is actively damaging the gaming hobby. The content creators, the devs who aren't nintendo, abusing the legal cases with the weight of their size not with true just cause. They're beneither even piracy at this point (well, at a point well before this). I don't understand supporting companies damaging your loved hobby, damaging your friends. Even if Russ supports still covering and playing Nintendo games, it's just beyond completely backwards to me. We can have better. We should have better. Make it happen everyone. Make them disappear into irrelevance. It's vile filthy behavior they are exhibiting. And it's damaging. Outright damaging. Claiming this wont' do anything is false too. Of course it won't make them dissaprear, but there is NO END of gaming news. Focus on indies. Focus on positive things in our beloved hobby. It won't make nint en d fade away completely, but it will rise other things up. Put them in front of people. Generate new hype for companies that are adding to the industry, not subtracting (ex. through patenting game mechanics so no one can use a mechanic, is hurting all of us immensely).

The best thing to do about Nintendo imo is to give them exactly what they want industry wide. They don't want their games featured in youtube videos? Censor them out, no free advertising. They don't want you downloading roms to digitally backup your Nintendo games? Don't buy their games in the first place. They don't want you emulating their consoles? Don't buy their consoles in the first place. Just desserts.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Why is Nindo doing it? Petty greed, Of course they're trying to make an example of him honestly any image of any Nindo character he puts on screen from a screen shot to a random T-shirt puts him at risk if they aren't already going back through hours of footage looking for something old he did to strike him again. Again, I say if they don't want people to use their IP openly either in gaming videos or reviews then banish Nindo to the realm of obscurity, stop giving them free visibility, change the art in your fan games so they can't nuke you, and say screw those guys for their pettiness, we don't need their IP.

I'd say that's why Nintendo continually picks on the little guys, knowing they won't take the next step fearing Nitendo's cash will buy a judge/jury. It'll be far more difficult for Nintendo to prove their case, where they'll be required to follow laws and provide factual evidence backed by those laws, rather than with KZbin's useless copyright system. it only takes 1 person to stand up to them and win to show everyone it can be done.

[@destructodisk9074]

Need to fight back every way we can. Host your own videos on your own server. Don’t cover anything Nintendo can get free advertising for on something they currently sell. Don’t watch Nintendo monetized content and don’t buy Nintendo products (this will be a hard one for me, I was looking forward to Switch 2). If you are a developer, don’t release on Nintendo platforms. If you for some reason own the rights to anything shown in the background of a Nintendo owned video on KZbin, file a claim. Message Nintendo and KZbin about the issue. If Russ goes to court we need community funding for a lawyer.

[@zdanee]

Nintendo can bully people because nobody wants to take it to court. But I wonder if somebody were to actually take them to court, how much could they sue out of Nintendo for threatening people, unlawful copyright claims, taking away people's livelihood and such. @LegalEagle what's your take on this? If it's a winnable case would anyone take it pro-bono just to stop corporate bullying?

[@ReallyNotTrixYT]

They are targeting him. The first strike was for showing a Switch Game on a Nintendo Switch - both of which Russ legally paid for and owns. It's one thing if it was on a third party device, but if you're arbitrarily removing someone's right to showcase your games on your hardware, that means every content creator that depends on Switch content - like Poke-Tubers - are at risk. If Nintendo considers playing the games you bought from them on their official hardware as piracy, then what don't they consider as piracy? Not playing any Nintendo game at all and only buying them like the cash cow that you are?

This is heartbreaking on two fronts: Obviously it's sad to see a juggernaut go after someone who is widely considered to be one of the "good guys" (both in the value of his content, and the way he treats others) in the retro game community. It's also sad to see a beloved game company that has brought us countless hours of fun become satan.

Martin's Bay (which is not far from Snell's Beach over in NZ) really reminded me of the Destiny Islands from Kingdom Hearts

It seems like once he did the dumper, they were all in on his channel. I'm surprised they didn't go for a third strike. I believe MVG had to fight them for doing the same thing. Had he didn't have the dumper, they probably wouldn't even bother him. Also, I thought when you get a strike that youtube would stop you from uploading. I hope he appeals because they can try to take down your channel. I would think Taki had issues as well. Nintendo are bullies and they are going to strike whatever they is a threat and they're petty. Even though, the tech is not illegal. Nintendo is known for teaching people lessons. That's why so many websites etc have been shutdown.

[@Holonet01]

I would totally donate if Russ set up a crowd-funded...fund... Dedicated to legal representation against Nintendo for their power trip BS lawsuits.

[@bembelknecht]

It's a shame how far Nintendo is going; basically they go against those, that grew up with their products through the 8 & 16-bit era which are no longer up for official sale; that is the same people that bring their kids (maybe even grand kids by now) towards the brand; hope their sales plummet as they deserve it, I won't spend another dime on them; even piracy shouldn't be an issue as some suggest, that would indicate that their catalog of the last 40 years still has immense value; it has not, what has value (especially for Nintendo) is our nostalgia and memories and they keep on dissapointing with their BS stance on game preservation.

9 we got a blooper rare and fu¢

[@hiroshinagoya2469]

KZbinrs needs to STOP promoting Nintendo products and games!!! and only promote Nintendo once the KZbinr has an authorization. Everyone knows Nintendo is an evil corporation.

[@blakegriplingph]

Nintendo should just change their name to "Bengoshi" by now.

[@rusty2804]

If Retro Game Core's channel is struck down all the videos on that channel could become lost media. I always had concerns that the digital land scape is another big part of human history, history that's at a constant threat of being lost because of stunts like that. So many moments historical or not happen on the Internet that become lost to time and people usually don't think twice. The Internet is a big part of our history now whether people like it or not and it's concerning how much easier it is to manipulate history through it now.

[@AmirZaimMohdZaini]

Blame switch emubros and pirate fanatics for making Nintendo went full rage against emulation videos.

[@johnsmith9205]

About Russ - I would suggest blurring any such footage from older videos as well. Unfortunately it's not very plausible to be able to do that for all his videos before he gets a third strike. He can try the small claims court - most companies default on such cases - but he can only claim damages for up to $10K.

[@stevenshockley4237]

Forever sailing the seven seas. Nintendo is dead to me, anything post-2023 is completely invalidated to my brain.

[@aone7640]

This what happens when Nintendo do not officially have any direct competitor in there space but the steam deck and other companies are slowly chipping away at Nintendo mammoth size space. Missed Sega being a console maker had the best shots taking on Nintendo back in the day with there hilariously funny commercials

[@icemuckbanggg]

I don't believe in Patron, but I will back russ up financially if there is a safe way to do it. I don't like the idea of someone getting their platform away taking from them against their will unjustly. He helped me learn how to use moonlight, and opened up the door to a whole new world of legal handheld gaming. It's so good that i'll never need to buy a new console for about 7 years as long as 720p is still a thing on PC gaming.

[@AnotherGuyPT]

What I find funny is that the guy must be the retro games KZbinr with the most original Nintendo games. I saw some of his videos where he shows his long and vast collection of cartridges. He always advocates for the proper use of retro games, so I don't understand why Nintendo is keeping such a close eye on him.

[@Hammersmash3dFace]

The problem with fair use and nintendo is that they don't know anything like that in japan. It would be interesting to fight it out. After all, if they publish outside japan, they would also have to comply with the laws of those countries.

[@uwehoeren]

The Big Problem is they is no "Fair Use" Rule in Japan, so they can do it. Its realy Crazy how they use it now...

[@GamSin1981]

Russ should back up all his videos if he hasn't done it. Personally, I stopped buying anything done by Nintendo a good few years back, and I will continue to do so.

[@Bigtonesmallz]

Its about the Mig-Swich..this is a petty attack on his channel because it's a large channel showing the Mig-Swich in detail, and nintendo is clutching their pearls and so butt hurt over this device that they trying to make a example out of his channel. These are the notorious tactics of Nintendo

[@Totavier]

Another week and another thing that Nintendo do to anger people. By the way since you asked, for some reason the beach where you are remind me the one from GTA: Vice City because is so big but soooo empty, lol!.

[@jeffreypeters5578]

This is gonna drive devs,hackers and modders to go hard AF at the security of the next switch or console from Nintendo and to build a bootable emulator quick out of spite

[@chazcov08]

Nintendo will NEVER get another dime from me again. And I've spent thousands on them since the 80s.
