Nintendo Got Sued

[@GoldenGrenadier]

Ready by Avalanche Reviews.

[@HistoricNerd]

Well......that....is something I missed. Edit* I watched this video like 20 times and I have no idea how I missed that. Man that's gonna drive me nuts knowing that's there.

[@HistoricNerd]

Ready by St1ka........urgggg

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Nintendo, always keeping it classy!

[@RMCRetro]

That was really interesting, thanks for asking me to take part!

[@HistoricNerd]

Thanks for the help!

[@Jenovi]

That was fantastic! Those animations are quite impressive too.

[@AFarCryAway]

I'm always Ready for Avalanche Reviews :D

[@RetroIslandGaming]

I love all the animation you did for this. Damn dude!! I've always wanted to learn how to do that stuff, but time and other hobbies push any attempts away. It just makes the magic of your video all the more special. And right on for getting everyone to help out. Those guys are all awesome people. Great video, Ian!

[@HistoricNerd]

Thanks man. I can say the Adobe creative cloud is a awesome deal. All the programs for a monthly fee. So ive moved pretty heavy to after effects for the animations and scene editing and then move to premiere to put it all together. But theres is a steep learning curve to it.

[@townlinetim876]

You have got some seriously awesome production value going on here. Great subject matter. Can’t wait to see the next one.

[@retrorevolutions4590]

My boy Jared has a feauture in the episode nice!!

[@RetroIslandGaming]

He needs to get you next time!

[@electronash]

10:48 I'm still trying to figure out if that was the real st1ka, or Jimmy Happa's superb impression. lol

[@HistoricNerd]

Honestly I need to pay Jimmy to do quotes as metal Jesus and everyone else...hell I wonder if he has an impression of me....I'll just start getting him to do all my voice lines from now on....

[@electronash]

@@HistoricNerd haha - it NEEDS to be done. Jimmy is hilarious.

[@ProjectGeek1]

Nintendo across the board has been aggressive to consumers and competition. Sure they probably saved the gaming industry after the crash, thanks to their "Seal of approval" and willingness to risk it, but the market probably would have recovered on its own. Awesome video Ian, and Hi Neil! Great Collaboration!

[@DeaDGoD_XIV]

"...or whatever it is you're doing." You know what I'm doing

[@Bartholamue]

Inventory management is something that Nintendo still uses today. Amiibos, NES Classic, and the Wii are three such products that had a limited supply at launch.

[@tcgamingtimes999]

What the government really needs to check into is Mario's legitimacy--does he actually have his plumber's licenses renewed and active?

[@bobtom1495]

Nintendo is the Disney of Japan...

[@JoelRiter]

Minus the Nazi part... Oh wait... did they have involvement in WW2? They've been around since the 19th century... But yea, I say the samething. and I definitely don't mean it as a compliment.

[@Loeildechat]

As always, a very well made and interesting video. Nice work !

[@HistoricNerd]

Thanks for the support! any more CDI videos planned?

[@Loeildechat]

HistoricNerd not really. I did not found any other cdi titles yet.

[@AvalancheReviews]

I didn't know Jimmy Happa was on this! I don't know if I trust that guy. He's clearly a closet furry.

[@godzilla7391]

What!!! Great video HN as always!

[@ChaosAngel209]

Would you mind listing the background music? It sounds fantastic.

[@HistoricNerd]

It's Rise, Challenge, and then one more I can't 100% recall the name atm from the youtube creator catalog. Ill try and get a complete list for you tonight when I get home.

[@mbe102]

Honestly, I feel James McAfee voiced by Stlka is more accurate than the actual James McAfee, sans the murdering his neighbours. (I hope :O)

[@HistoricNerd]

I thought the comment from this McAfee was too interesting not to share. Odds are this is like a random doctor or something.

[@PixelGameSquad]

Iretrogamer! 🥊

[@retrogameon]

Man, Nintendo are basically the Apple of gaming.

[@HistoricNerd]

I'd almost say that Nintendo in terms of how aggressive they were in the late 80s makes Apple look nice by comparison.

[@godzilla7391]

That's why i stuck with the bad boys of the industry, SEGA! 😆

[@poisonshift78]

Eat your heart out Gaming Historian

[@XSlimSxadyX]

Dude you gotta do the history of the SEGA Dreamcast!! Or maybe tell me where to find a good video like that haha! I’m getting a Dreamcast next Sunday and I gotta be prepared..

[@HistoricNerd]

The gaming historian did a good one a number of years back. I imagine it still holds up.

[@XSlimSxadyX]

@@HistoricNerd I get around quite a bit, so I think I’ll revisit that one haha! I’ve spent a few years looking at everything retro gaming 😅 now I’m starting to collect and it really makes me happy. It makes me happy that y’all make these absolutely amazing videos for people like me to watch and savor. I’m totally rambling but seriously y’all are amazing and I love you with all my heart

[@jacklazzaro9820]

Oh my God! I knew that Nintendo was the villain of gaming history! Does all this still happen today, not just Nintendo I mean.

[@HistoricNerd]

No single company controls as much of the market like Nintendo did. So it's a lot harder for company to pull this off. The only modern similar situation would be Value with steam. But that's there market place but they dominate PC game distribution. But Nintendo got in trouble in 2002 and 2005 for similar stuff. So they'll try it again if they can get away with it.

[@GoldenGrenadier]

Ever wonder how EA stays in business? There almost has to be some under-the-table happenings with them.

[@jacklazzaro9820]

HistoricNerd, I think you should make a Part 2 to this video regarding that.

[@NIGH11]

Great video Historic! Those damn nintender junkies !

[@HistoricNerd]

Glad you enjoyed it, and those junkies are a menace that must be stopped.

[@jj_1edzep]

Artificial scarcity is still not strange to Nintendo. I love Nintendo products, but I absolutely despise the company.

[@justin_messer]

It should be pointed that the reason why the State of New York and the FTC blinked was because of 1 reason: Atari. Atari Corp had fucked their antitrust lawsuit against Nintendo so hard, that Nintendo ended up winning the lawsuit and getting legal fee damages from Atari. My guess that is that the FTC ran scared on the premise that if Atari couldn’t beat Nintendo in a civil case where verdicts are rendered on the basis of preponderance of the evidence, then there was no chance the FTC could win trial where the standard is Beyond a reasonable doubt. Not when Nintendo could easily recall all the witnesses and evidence from the Atari Corp lawsuit. Side note: I find Sam Tremiel’s statement laughable. It was his ass that was on the stand when he was forced to admit that Atari had fucked up in not signing up American third parties until it became clear that licensed third parties were a necessity. Sam’s testimony would cause the jury to come back with a verdict that was favorable to Nintendo.

[@poisonshift78]

Have you checked out Kilian Experience? You should

[@HistoricNerd]

I have, love his channel.

[@carblazer31672]

My hands got hot at 8:33

[@HistoricNerd]

I use that part to warm my coffee in the morning.
