Nintendo Wii Anti-Piracy

[@plain_alejandro]

I love that these anti piracy screens make you call the police on yourself and make you plead for your arrest

[@RealityContractor]

But does people really want to plead to be arrested? No!

[@ArtieArchives]

Nobody would listen lol

[@PireTheOtamot]

[@RealityContractor]

But they didn't arrest you just because nintendo forced you to arrest you for pirating....

[@AcousticJammTheGamer]

Eh the whole trope is kinda overused now

[@valoregal]

they added a dark mode for the piracy checker lmao

[@dxl___]

[@joniorsomething]

@@dxl___ if you mod your Wii, you can get custom themes if you know what you're doing, one of the most popular being a dark theme. be careful if you do, because if it corrupts the menu, your Wii is fucked unless you have a backup on bootmii.

This is why I love anti-piracy screens that actually try to be realistic. Not one of those that try way too hard to be scary with the characters with black eyes and blood/gore. Realistic ones are more unnerving and effective at causing discomfort. Good job.

[@Feelingbruv]

I love how this one has bugs, like it said it would! Specifically, some text is displayed in Japanese when the user has selected English as their preferred language. This just makes this seem a lot more genuine! By the way, your content is very believable and well-done. Keep up the great work!

1:04 My only critique is there should be a “refresh” button in case someone doesn’t have Luigi’s Mansion or Mario Kart Wii. This is one of the best anti-piracy screens I’ve seen though

1:38 if this were real, wouldnt they force the person at this screen to do a hardware and firmware check? i have a modded wii with cios and if anyone who also had that did the check, they would just select hardware and get around it. likewise, if you had a modchip, you could just select software.

2:29 , bruh , how do you speak Japanese during anti privacy call

[@gomango99]

“911 whats your emergency?” “Hello I pirated Mario Kart Wii”

[@M3KAI5ER44]

Personal Thoughts The console wouldn't just randomly shut off, there would likely be a check in place for the next time the wii menu tries to start. Mentions of Anti-Piracy would be replaced with something like Software Authenticity Checker version number wouldn't be 1.0 or even there in the first place if the software is presumably unfinished, not to mention it would likely be in the corner and faded, and be a build number instead, showing the date of creation. power button would likely be a small information button mentioning how to turn off the console (press and hold power) and some vague explanation for the check Pal Wii consoles do not support Japanese as an option for language. the Japanese text would merely be a remnant of development and not an option. Dark mode wouldn't be a thing period Some fonts aren't normally seen anywhere else on the wii if im not mistaken, pretty close though! No mention of the software being unfinished would be *anywhere* cursor is not tilting, and is way too small. The sound from the Wii Menu for leaving a channel preview wouldn't be used here Personalization explanation would simply be 'Chose your language' in the different languages offered Check button would be on the right 'Please Reinsert the disc' would probably be changed to 'Please insert the disc' to be concise The option to check the hardware or firmware wouldn't be there as both checks would be necessary and be done regardless, not to mention giving the user the option would ruin some of the purpose behind the software, so its likely the screens associated would be removed :/ for the restart message fade out would not occur, and it would stay the same theme Health and safety message would not be shown again piracy is a crime message would not be typed out in this way but would be shown in its entirety. It would not ask you to shutdown your console or have a countdown (in a generic font mind you) instead it would tell you how to shut off your console properly (press and hold the power button for 4 seconds) power button in corner would not exist sounds would not be there background would be faded a bit to make text more clear wheres the microphone lol funny idea to have it 'call nintendo' though try new rodin instead of a generic serif font if you can't figure out what font to use good luck on whatever you do next!

[@M3KAI5ER44]

@Lily.finder The pointer went from moving normally to being completely static in rotation, meaning a real remote was used at first. The Wii Speak was a microphone accessory but not many people had one, which would make the call part essentially useless unless someone had it already plugged it and setup and calibrated, and The Wii remote simply doesn't have a microphone. The call relying on internet also follows the circumstance that WiFi is set up in the first place.

[@alesjif2441]

This looks really realistic! Nice job!

[@2001DJ]

Great job! But the cursor seems a little small tho in my eyes.

[@Agent1chi]

Ah yes, because Japanese is totally written as 「日本」。 (It means Japan) Other than that, this was pretty well done other than some things which don’t make sense like the Wii somehow being able to call the authorities

Just when i think im gonna see something that looks remotely close to official all these videos do is pop up a screen that says "piracy bad" There are some other things in the video which are a bit weird but honestly if you redid the last part of the video to not include your wii magically calling nintendo and mocking you it would be 10x better
