Everything Wrong with Nintendo's Glitch Policy and the Cat Suit.

[@Rurike]

I remember seeing a video where the devs of Bugsnacks reacted to a speedrun of the game. A number of the glitches and out of bounds things the speed runner actually used turned out to be things the devs were aware were possible, but their mentality was as long as they made sure no one was going to stumble onto it by accident playing normally they might as well leave it for speedrunners or glitchers to play with. I think thats a better approach.

Yes, but in case of Mario Maker this would break the game. It would break all Cat suit stages for map makers. I honestly really do not see Ceave's point in this video, I understand that getting used to new controls can be problematic, especially when playing more casually - but if the point of the game is to let creators, like Ceave might I add, to make the stages they want, you don't want to have a "feature" to force the creators not to use a certain power up unless their stage is specifically designed around one unintended "feature" the power up CAN use

as a wise man once said, "if you find a glitch that is more fun than any other point in your game, rebuild your entire game based around that glitch." it's how they kept in combos starting from street fighter 2, it was originally never an intended mechanic, but since the QA testers found it very fun, they embraced it and continued to implement it in their future SF games. this "glitch" was revolutionary in the FG genre entirely.

Same with the game Ultrakill. Punching your own projectiles into explosive shrapnel was a glitch, but it worked so well, and looked so awesome, that they made it into a feature.

I think the cat momentum glitch stacks right, like infinite speed? So it'd make it possible to make levels that could only be completed by doing it which might be Nintendo's fear. Edit: ah it just conserves momentum. So you're just allowed to move faster than top speed for a little bit longer because you keep the speed of the dive.

When I got it back I got a 0 in some "Following the assignment rules" metric, as well as creativity for some reason.

IMO the best comparison is Minecraft. In minecraft there has been a long ongoing glitch that allowed for bud-switches which became part of many contraptions. Mojang was aware of that glitch and knew how to fix it, but kept it in for a long time because they didn't want to destroy their players contraptions. And when they decided to fix that glitch (that also caused other effects that weren't benefitial for playing the game) they also implemented a new block that can be used to implement budswitches, so players could still use the feature in a similar way. What Nintedo did with the icicles is the exact opposit. I could tell that having too much global ground could lead to problems, but just removing that property from an item without warning and with no replacement means they are technically telling the players, they should damn fucking play the game the way they intent it and they will remove anything being done differently just to make sure we know who's in charge.

Stacked pipes are gone & there's no excuse that can't be countered by hidden blocks, enemies in blocks, off screen thwomps, sideways thwomps, parachute thwomps, hammer bros., bloopers, warp blocks, locked warp blocks, or horrible hit detection on every hazard/enemy. Most of the game's content is either unavailable in 3DW or exclusive to 3DW. Simple concepts are tied to night time for no reason. Using Yoshi in no-landing levels is impossible for no reason. Using boots/cars in them is almost impossible too. Checkpoints are unavailable in clear condition levels even though the only possible reason for that rule only applies to certain clear conditions & it doesn't really make sense then either because the checkpoints could disappear when you fail just like the goal does. Crossing pits without jumping is allowed in no-landing levels in some situations always & in other situations never or only sometimes but there's no logic behind the exceptions. Bouncing on enemies & bumpers doesn't count as landing but bouncing on springs & note blocks does. Clear conditions for carrying things aren't in SMB1 even though the SMB2 mushroom & master sword let you carry things. They removed the ability to put things at the beginning of a level (including background objects) so there'd be room for 4 players even though they could've just given us the option to set how many players our levels allow like LittleBigPlanet 1 was already doing in 2008 or let us label our levels as single player or co-op like N+ was already doing in 2008. Getting score from touching the goal yet still dying from time out is common. Killing an enemy by landing on it yet still dying isn't even super rare. You can stop beside a muncher but then die while you're walking away from it. If you land on a dead, upward-facing creeper, you fall through it & get killed by nothing 100% of the time. Been that way since launch & Nintendo has no interest in fixing it. Bosses multiple screens away spam RNG fire constantly, everyone has always hated it since MM1 launched, & it still hasn't been changed or turned into an option you can toggle. Look how much more broken no-landing levels are than I already mentioned: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXKaZZKiiMeXos0 I actually like the tricks shown in that video even though they don't make sense because they're fun if you know 'em but that brings me to my next example: There are no text blocks even though old Mario games have 'em so levels with complex meta concepts have to go far out of their way to teach players the concepts instead of being able to just tell the player how it works. Sure, learning organically is often more fun than reading a text block but kaizo levels & glitch levels would often be a lot more fun if their concepts were explained in text & then the glitches & tricks Nintendo worries so disproportionately about wouldn't be such a problem.

​@@D_YellowMadness the collision detection thing exists because it is generally a more pleasant gameplay experience to (for example) barely slip past the jaws of a piranha plant than to have the game kill mario because his foot brushed by its outermost tooth. this principle (subtly skewing the game in the player's favor to make it more satisfying to play) has been a thing in mario games and video games in general for literally decades, and takes many forms such as increasing/decreasing the area of an object's collision detection (for some mario examples, look up the hitboxes of piranha plants in the original super mario bros, or how far away you can pick up a coin in sm64), giving the player slightly more health than the hud shows, or making computer-controlled enemies in fps always miss their first shot to let the player know they are there. cannon hitboxes are like they are to simplify the calculations done with them (it is slightly faster to have the cannon's sprite refer to the same hitbox in all its orientations than to individually check each cannon's orientation to see what its hitbox is). the piranha creeper thing is probably (though I do not know for sure) because you land on the base on the stem (vine? thorny green neck?). they might have had trouble implementing stacked pipes with different colored pipes, most likely in the 3-dimensional 3dw style, and decided they would rather have colored pipes than stacked pipes. not every cut feature is cut because of balancing reasons.

In the next update, the bug was patched, wich made a lot of people mad/dissapointed. But then, the devs actually realized, that it added more to the game and it's charm, so they made it an actual feature.

This is just a Japanese thing. Take a look at this interview from the developer of Splatoon when asked why you can’t pick what maps you play on online. “It’s not just language. It’s a way to perceive games, and the user. I see it on Splatoon right now. You look at Splatoon, and then people look at Overwatch. These are two totally different games. Overwatch is a self-service game. You boot the game and say, “Hey, I like this mode. I like this character. And I’m only ever going to play this mode, this character, and this map.” You’re like, “I’m going to get what I want.” But in Japan, everything is tailored. You’ve probably heard Sheena Iyengar’s TED talk, in which she went to a restaurant in Japan and tried to order sugar in her green tea. The people at the cafe said, “One does not put sugar in green tea,” and then, “We don’t have sugar.” But when she ordered coffee instead, it did come with sugar! In Japan, there’s a sense of, “We’re making this thing for you, and this is how we think this thing is better enjoyed.” This is why, in Splatoon, the maps rotate every couple of hours. And the modes change. “I bought this game. Why can’t I just enjoy this game the way I want?” That’s not how we think here. Yes, you did buy the game. But we made this game. And we’re pretty confident about how this game should be enjoyed. If you stick with us, and if you get past your initial resistance, you’re going to have the time of your life with this game. You’re really going to love it.” archive.is/RkHpw#selection-3099.0-3317.432 The Splatoon development team is the same as the one for Animal Crossing, another game that despite having many great things going for it, has infamously bad quality of life improvements. Essentially, it’s a cultural thing. Nintendo wants you to experience the game the way they intended because they believe they know the best way to enjoy a game since they’re the ones who made it. They think that by playing the game the intended way, even if you don’t like it at first, you will eventually start to appreciate it. Obviously this is VERY debatable, but those are the facts.

A slight correction: this is a Japanese "service industry" thing. Not every Japanese game developer treats game design like a service and not every Japanese game developer has this attitude. From Software, for example, treats game design like they are crafting a toy or a sculpture. Once the design is set, they are done with fiddling with the project. If there are problems with producing the game experience like game breaking bugs, they will fix that, but once the game is out the game is pretty much set. The problem isn't that Nintendo is Japanese, the problem is that Nintendo treats video game development like it is a Japanese service industry. It doesn't have to be this way.

At least the icicle thing has one possible reason I can think of: lag. Something that's likely very important to them is having a cap on the resources that can be loaded at once and testing that cap against the hardware they support with some leeway for dust buildup etc. to ensure smooth gameplay. Having potentially lots and lots of extra objects hanging around messes with that. That said, I'd prefer having it in and blaming the level creator for lag when they do excessively dumb things. (And yes, there are other ways to lag the game from spawning in extra objects. That doesn't mean that suddenly anything goes.) But yeah, that kind of management of how many objects are loaded max is pretty important to game devs in general, but this is a game where people create their own levels, so it takes some more work to manage that in the first place.

I mean, not that I think Mario Maker objects are particularly memory intensive, but if you have a mechanism in place for unloading objects dynamically, and a cap on the number of objects that never unload, there are worse potential issues than just lag if you exceed that limit. When you start messing with the assumptions about memory space, I'd think the worst case would be arbitrary code execution leading to bricked or security-compromised consoles. Is that realistic? I don't know. But if it's possible, it does seem worth Nintendo's effort to prevent someone uploading a malicious level rather than rely on catching it later.

The Mario Maker community also proves why Nintendo's approach is so pointless, because they keep patching glitches and the community not only rediscovers the same glitch, they find it and many more each patch. I really think you need a more pragmatic approach to glitches, where the first consideration is whether it can crash the game - if it does a fix is in order almost no matter what, even if it is a speedrun glitch in circumstances. The second question is whether it interferes with normal gameplay, is it something that can mess with someone who just plays the game normally, again if yes i think a fix is in order. However if both answers are no, i don't think they should be fixed.

I would say the second one is a bit off, the point is not whether a glitch interferes with normal gameplay, but if it does so in a detrimental way, for example, I can totally see someone realizing cat suit momentum and employing it on normal gameplay, but this doesn't worsen the experience for the person, and in fact, it improves it

This whole thing reminds me of the Isabelle Assist trophy glitch in Smash Ultimate. The circumstances for activating are so specific that the odds for getting it on accident are astronomical. Plus, it relies on items, which are nearly always in casual games, at least 2 Isabelle's (one of the least played characters in Ultimate) and a pretty specific timing again making it hard to get on accident. The results were hilarious and i could see people playing a gamemode where everyone is Isabelle and the only thing you can do is the assist trophy glitch, now go. It's such a shame that it got patched cause it was so entertaining and didn't take away from anything else the game had

I was talking about this with a friend of mine who used to play Tekken at a tournament level, and he made an interesting comparison Katsuhiro Harada's overall design philosophy with Tekken (and with the Soul Calibur games he had a hand in) is basically on the opposite end of the spectrum: Where Nintendo generally tries to purge any unintended esoterica that actually sees use, even if doing so harms the overall game feel, Harada tries to *preserve* anything in his games that people actually use, no matter how esoteric, even if it's to the detriment of the game as a whole. And the interesting thing is that in both cases, the downsides of those philosophies are only really noticeable if you're in too deep. Nintendo removes stuff that most casual players will never encounter unless they actively go looking for it. every Tekken game from 5 onward has just been tacking new mechanics onto Tekken 3, but that only matters in mid and high-level play.

Its not about polish here though. Games that have literally won awards for their polish are not glitchless. Nintendo's problem is a matter of internal doctrine. They consider any "unintended mechanics" (quite from an interview with the developers of Doom Eternal after watching the then-current any% world record of their month-old game) to be a glitch, and they consider any glitch to be 'disruptive' and seek to fix it. If the fix does not cause additional problems or break other systems that they notice in testing, they patch it.

[@powerhouseofthecell9758]

@@Mangaka-ml6xo If that is the case, I am very worried for the future of Nintendo. I am aware that Nintendo is not perfect, and I am trying hard not to. Nintendo over the years has done a lot of wrong, and will continue to do so. What I am focusing on is not just good and evil, but where things go wrong. For most of my memory, Nintendo has been special, for good and ill. If recent trends continue, Nintendo will be just another soulless AAA video game corporation with no values other than the whims of making a quick buck. There is still hope. The old guard may be slowly dying out, but there might still be time to train a new one which will carry the legacy of Nintendo. I don't want to lose the continuity stretching back through much of video game history. My first(and less ridiculous-sounding) proposition is to have Shigeru Miyamoto climb the ranks of management. He is old enough to be there for much of the current arc of Nintendo, but he is likely healthy enough to oversee Nintendo for quite a while. He has been an icon to many, and a visionary over the years, as important as Walt Disney or Henry Ford. This will buy essential time to find new apprentices. I do have another plan, but it is hard to summarize with modern corporate language, and makes my "President Miyamoto" idea look normal. Using antiquated language more associated with monarchies, my ludicrous idea is to restore House Yamauchi to Nintendo, if one can legally even turn a publicly-traded corporation (NTDOY) into a sole or even joint proprietorship.

While this is true, it CAN have a negative effect. Melee as an example. What was supposed to be a party game played with all your friends and crazy items and whacky stuff going on the maps turned into "Final Destination 1V1 Fox vs Mario". The unintended way to play became so prevalent that it overshadowed and then morphed what the series was, and now even in ultimate the online is setup to be more like a fighting game than the party game it was supposed to be. Im not here to argue over whether it is or isn't a fighting game, but unintended ways to play a game/vew a type of media CAN harm it this is just the most obvious example.

[@Duck-de9dw]

I don’t think you could consider the competitive nature of Melee an explicitly bad thing. Ultimate can be and still is a really enjoyable casual game.

[@davidburke4101]

@Melchor Herrera This isn't Nintendo embracing or caring about the competitive smash audience, this is Nintendo begrudgingly accepting that they exist. And smash was huge before melee had a competitive scene. Keep in mind that both brawl and smash for 3DS and Wii U sold way better even though most smash competitive players thought those games were way worse. In fact, smash for 3DS sold better than the wii U version even though it didn't even have a competitive format. People vastly overestimate the amount of sales that competitive smash generates, and underestimate the actual sales potential of the characters in the game. Side note, the thing that made smash competitive was bugs and glitches. If Sakurai could go back in time and patch them, he would as he sees them as the thing that mutated the franchise to a direction he didn't care for. Melee is probably a huge factor in why they act the way they do towards unintended ways to play. Nintendo looks at it as "look at what leaving in glitches did to this franchise"

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

I dont work for Nintendo but I do work in software. I agree that sometimes glitches happen and they should be embraced when they make the game better. From a development perspective though its a nightmare, maintaining glitches are a pain. We might fix something else and it fixes another glitches that we did not know was a feature to some users. Or we have to make special exceptions so a bug keeps working, which is hard to maintain. This drives up testing time and dev time which increased cost, and we are off working on another new project so don't have those resources. So often we often go back to the original design document for the project to keep things from ballooning.

[@yonderalt2662]

Maintaining glitches is hard but creating a feature based on one isn't. For example, TF2's Solider can rocket jump which is based on a glitch, now (and since forever) a feature of TF2. Valve maintained that easily and even made a weapon that did no damage for infinite rocket jumping. So, they knew what the glitch was, they implemented it and then doubled down on it. All based on a glitch. They didn't maintain a glitch, they made it a feature.

[@jaeusa160]

I think they really need to take a step back on the Glitches and how to address them. Many are harmless and allow for interesting gameplay.

"We made a glitched level" Nintendo: no shoo "We made 2 glitched levels"

[@js2184]

I'm reminded of that story from the remake of OOT for 3ds that was on DYKG; when they were working on OOT the Japanese dev team kinda breathed a sigh of relief and said, "oh good, we finally get to fix all of the bugs and glitches," to which the western team said, "but some of those were my favorite memories of the game, I love those bugs, lets just patch the ones that broke the game." IIRC the japanese team were kinda dumbstruck at the concept, that some people like some glitches. This more comes to a design philosophy, of an eastern vs western mindset. In japan, any kind of mistake, beneficial or not, should be rectified if able, whereas in the west, if it's broken but in a fun or interesting way, we tend to highlight it or figure out why it broke that way so it can be replicated or refined. The former ideology lends itself to a more soloist but "always reaching new heights" type of dev, and the latter leads to a more community driven "if it's stupid and it works, it can't be THAT stupid" kind of dev

This honestly should be so simple to figure out for anyone: "can this unintended feature cause harm to a player that performs it by accident?" if so, patch it; otherwise, if it only rewards players that intentionally go for it, you should keep it, period

[@Jordan-zk2wd]

To be fair, I would also say you should weigh the harm against how likely you are to do it by accident and fan response. If it can accidentally a great deal of harm, but it's exceedingly unlikely to happen by accident (maybe requires a very specific unlikely set of button presses or circumstances) and it has a big positive fan response, it is probably worth it to keep it. If it is someqhat likely to happen by accident, has no significant positive fan response (maybe not useful for speed runs, exploration, or whatever), and does a noteable though perhaps not great deal of harm, it is still maybe a good idea to patch it. Although I mostly play retro games which don't have any patches so I mean I'm fine with mininal patches on well made games 🤷‍♀️

[@annihilator247x]

This is a perfect example here. Tying this back to Nintendo: Nintendo almost entirely got rid of any and all comboes in Smash Bros Brawl and the game suffered as a whole from it. They also got rid of wave dashing and dash dancing and then added tripping to punish you for doing it. They hated how people played Melee THAT much. 4 comes out and they entirely changed their tune which helped the game (even though the balloon knockback and slowness hurt it in the end). Dash dancing was back, so were comboes, and strings actually worked correctly for more than 5 characters. Now in ultimate, they made strings even better and fixed the speed. They did remove some infinites but over all, they ACTUALLY responded correctly to what the community wanted. Somehow, they just don't seem to do the same for any other franchise.

[@TheTrueBrawler]

@@annihilator247x They screwed up royally with Brawl. Nintendo's reluctance to allow players to play their games in ways they didn't intend them to led them to make bad decisions quite a lot. In Smash Brawl, they chose to add tripping, remove directional air dodges, and make combos nearly impossible presumably to combat some of Melee's more advanced techniques. Die hard fans stuck with Melee because of it's superiority over Brawl competitively, which subsequently caused a splinter group to form within the Smash Bros community. Future games like Smash 4 and, to a lesser extent, Ultimate suffered as a result of this division, one that would have never happened if Nintendo wasn't so reluctant to let the players enjoy their games in the way that the players want to enjoy them. By continuously "fixing" things that don't even need fixing in the first place, Nintendo has continued to hurt their own games. The Mario Maker 2 Cat Suit problem is a drop in the bucket, all things considered, but the recurring problem has shown even long before Nintendo was capable of implementing balance patches. I'm a bit scared to see the features Nintendo patched out of their 3D All Stars Collection.

What makes this even more baffling is how they've made at least one official video compiling glitches and exploits in older games before. When DKC was finally released on Switch Online, they made a video showcasing some glitches and exploits, and while I have no idea where to find this I remember on the Nintendo Channel on the Wii around Mario's 25th anniversary they made a video showcasing many of the game's glitches and exploits. While these are games released long before patches or even any online gaming functionality were a thing, and IIRC before the Internet was even a common thing anyway, it truly baffles me how they're completely fine with the glitches in these games but not more modern ones. While Mario Maker is strongly built on online functionality, most of the patched "glitches" add more to the game.

It's like they refuse the admit all of there legal actions against fair use are wrong. The most fucked up thing about this is that we as a community aren't doing shit about it. When Sony slapped a lawsuit on one guy for literally showing people how to steal games with there console's, Anonymous hackers DDoS the hell out of them for a month. Where the hell is that justice now? Nintendo takes legal action on kids singing the pokemon theme song, modders operating on separate hardware for no monetary gain, people remixing there music, people adding music clips in the background of there videos, let's player's on KZbin, and people simply using there hardware to communicate. Yet Anonymous does absolutely nothing. We still buy there stuff, we still worship them, we still act like no one does things better. There's no justice. Nintendo literally takes DLC away from people who aren't using the WiiU anymore and we smile like it's ok, Nintendo ports last gen games for literally the same price if not more, we smile like it's ok, Nintendo limits there supply causing false demand and inflated price gouging, we smile like it's ok, Nintendo literally forces us to play there games exsactly the way they want becuase they're still butthurt about the game genie decades later, and we smile like that's ok... but it's not. They're oppressive. Yet we do nothing. Where's the hackers now? Where is there justice now? Why does Nintendo get special treatment? I get it, you guys grew up with Nintendo, so did I. I had every single game console Nintendo has made since the 80's... but I see how they're acting. They aren't doing the right thing and coming out the winner anymore. There doing whatever it takes to win now... that's not what they used to be about. There conniving antics and strict "don't do that" attitude is just downright wrong. It shouldn't matter if you grew up with them or not. Soon people will see this kind of behavior as alright, soon it will be impossible to get any console cuase every console developer will do what Nintendo does to limit there stock and drive up prices, soon we won't be able to see any video game walkthrew, rants, or lets plays becuase everyone will side with Nintendo and see them as infringements on there products, soon we won't be able to even get sound files of our favorite game music cuase Nintendo will find those sites and shut them down we won't be able to remix them either, soon we won't be able to speedrun our games the best way possible becuase it showcases "flaws" in the game which creates a "negative" image on said product... will you be smiling then? Will you turn a blind eye then? Will we even be allowed to play video games at that point? Will video games even BE video games? If we keep letting Nintendo get away with this stuff...

It’s weird that Nintendo is so adamant about patching each and every glitch out of their games when; 1) The players still find them anyways, and 2) Some of the best games in history have tons of bugs (and sometimes that’s actually the reason why they’re so fun). Like, Nintendo just has this obsession with making their games as glitch-less and visually smooth as possible, instead of like, actually focusing on making the games _better._ Which has always seemed like a weird approach to me. Especially with the recent news on how they can’t make any new, unique characters in the Mario universe, it’s like they’re going for a cookie-cutter formula to make making games easier, at the cost of losing fun and creativity. Which, also, makes no sense to me. I think the main problem is Nintendo’s PR system and how poorly they listen to player feedback. Their PR system is so weird. It’s like they’re totally tone-deaf to their communities, and whenever a problem or glitch arises, they focus on making duct-tape temporary solutions rather than thinking about the long-term effects of anything.

One of the devs contributed to the route actually because he knew a part of the game that didn't have collision so they could do an out of bounds glitch, really awesome guys.

Eh as good as a point this video makes, I don't think the removal of the BLJ is a good example of Nintendo's destructive glitch policy in motion. The reason why the BLJ is removed in Mario all stars is because it's running the shindou version of the game which was a 1997 rerelease which supported rumble and had some other small changes. The BLJ wasn't discovered until 2000 and even then it was in a random Spanish magazine, it wouldnt have been widely known until a 2003 forum post so no one could have known about it and no one was doing all the crazy shit we see done with it today. Nintendo wasn't being malicious by patching it out, it was probably them saying "oh shit we forgot to limit negative speed" and fixing it. Remember the line from the Miyazaki interview, if they had known about that glitch during development, they would have patched it. That's not keeping the game the way you want it to be played, it's just a simple bug fix, any big studio would have done that. Now, the reason why the shindou version is the one in 3d all stars is also simple. It was just the most recent version of the game, it supported rumble it made the most sense for that to be the one out on the Wii eshop and later 3d all stars This isn't some defence of Nintendo or their glitch policy I just think it's a commonly misunderstood topic and it's worth knowing all the facts
