As it turns out, whilst it seems that Nintendo wanted ARMS to succeed as a competitive game on the surface, in typical Nintendo fashion they also wanted to dictate exactly *how* it was played far too much and ended up going out of their way to severely hamper the game's potential for success in the end. I've linked a Twitlonger that explains as much in the Sources section of the description. Also I just wanna say I'm seeing entirely too many comments expressing this weird, hero-worship sentiment of "man, this company really went downhill once Reggie and Iwata left", like, no, that's not how companies work, lmao. Not to entirely undo their positive contributions to the industry because (particularly in Iwata's case) there's a LOT there, but Iwata was in power during a vast majority of the fangame takedowns and general events discussed in the video (as well as the Nintendo Creators Program, which I can not BELIEVE I failed to mention in this video, look it up) and Reggie was on The Game Awards board in 2016 (and I believe still is) meaning he would definitely have had a say in Pokemon Uranium & AM2R being removed from contention for their awards. Not meaning to slander these people, but also you should take them off your pedestal. It's weird, you don't know them, they're businessmen. The company hasn't fundamentally changed for the worst because 2 guys aren't there anymore, this is how they've always been. EDIT: Somehow people are finding a way to claim that I'm "defending" or "supporting" CptAlex? Which, no, I don't. Perhaps it should have been mentioned that he did not get permission from the family to continue forward with his project, and he has a couple other transgressions to his name that make him a slightly divisive figure, but the section wasn't about CptAlex so I didn't find it relevant. Regardless of CptAlex's actions, I still find Nintendo making legal threats over such a situation pretty reprehensible and that's what that section's about. -Brad #FreeMelee #SaveSmash

@@yzois Not to be a Nintendrone and say "Nintendo is better than the competition lol", but as far as censorship of 3rd party games... They are totally hands off in comparison to Sony over the last few years. Just look at how Gal*Gun is releasing on PC, Xbox and Switch (this one is physical) but PlayStation. The platform with 100 million systems which got earlier games is being ignored. There are a few strange cases like Dragon Ball Fusions (swords replaced with sticks for the west, a Bamco rep in DMs blamed NOA and Bamco higher ups apparently) and an assortment of third party games which Nintendo had a hand in but it feels like a footnote if you focus on that. There is a first party case which does stick out to me with Tokyo Mirage Sessions where the western censorship, missing DLC and new voiceover was forced into the Japanese release as well but that's not third party even if it is cursed. In less words, I don't think Nintendo are great. Heck even Steam and GOG have problems but you should make your complaints more specific since Nintendo picked with screwing 3rd party releases decades ago.

Nintendo is really intriguing as a company. Their developers are really talented and passionate, and some of their games definitely show that and push the industry as a whole; however, their legal team and upper management have grimy practices, all for profits or the threat to profits. From cease & desists and DMCA violations on popular fangames and mods, to limited-time releases to "combat" piracy or drive up cost, to making lackluster collections or online software with the bare-bone essentials, to not rereleasing previous games in any form, to covering up major issues with their hardware. There's a huge divide between their products and their practices, which is unfortunately sad and counterintuitive to their business.

But VI? Emulated in software on a sneaky extra microcontroller in Latte. Font ROM? Uses spare RAM now. And even then, is a software mode that disables two CPU cores and downclocks the system so as to _appear like_ the previous hardware for the sake of the software not emulation? It's not a pure software instruction-by-instruction translation layer, sure, but neither is it like transparently running your 2015 PC games on your 2020 PC.

To be fair though, copyright law is corrupt nowadays. It used to be 28 years which already is ridiculously long. But now it's 70 years after the death of the author (unless it got extended again since I last checked), on request by Disney who apparently writes copyright law nowadays. Some people are quick to point out that this motivates authors to produce but they forget that no author can produce anything in a vacuum. No matte rhow motivated, authors need the public domain to produce good things. By drying out the public domain we sabotage authors by production. There's actually a balance to this. The longer the copyright the more incentive, but the shorter the copyright the more possibilities. It's likely that 28 years is already far too long to hit this balance, but 70 years after authors death is beyond crazy. Nintendo has a legal right to shut down all those projects but that's only because the law is corrupt. It's a corrupt legal right. Also noteworthy is that beautiful art existed and was plentiful long before copyright existed. There are many ways to financially benefit from producing art or other works without copyright. In fact, history actually suggests that copyright actually tends to limit art, indicating that the aforementioned balance between providing enough incentive and providing a rich enough public domain to draw inspiration from may be struck with a copyright term of exactly 0 years. But that's copyright when viewed from a solely pragmatic perspective. Copyright contradicts the right to property so ethically there are objections to it as well. Intellectual property does not exist. It's a physical impossibility. E.g. how can you own the concept of Super Mario 64? Where is the concept? we have many instances of the game, but as far as I know there's no magical Platonic world where the perfect essence of the game exists. Unless you can prove that such a metaphysical world exists and that through it's divine powers it powers all our copies, there's no evidence of intellectual property. The proper term is "intellectual monopoly". So-called "intellectual property" is the right to tell other people how they are not allowed to use their own means to production. E.g. Rearranging the bits on my hard disk to create something resembling Super Mario 64 is nothing but me using my own means of production. I would need no special tool from Nintendo to do this. I would need no metaphysical concept of Super Mario 64 because I could do it using my memories, my computer, and my programming skills. They are all mine. But because Nintendo owns an intellectual monopoly on Super Mario 64 they have the corrupt legal right to tell me that I'm not allowed to use my own skills and resources in this way. It's their monopoly. In fact, "intellectual property" was actually called "monopoly" back when it was though up. It's only a while after it was invented that it got rebranded from a "monopoly" to "intellectual property" because the latter sounds more fair. It sounds fairer because it's a different concept that is fairer. Unfortunately few people think it through well enough to realise that and thus most get fooled by the marketing. It's a clever marketing move but it's very disingenuous. I'm not really bashing Nintendo for using their corrupt legal rights. That's the fault of our corrupt government; and in this case also Disney and their hypocritical lobbying. Still, Nintendo is being an asshole about it and the fact that they are doing so using corrupt legal rights does add some insult to injury.

That is another reason (mainly the most important) why I became libertarian. A property is literally something that you own and someone can not. And yes, it has to be physical.

If I instead take your newly created Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary hack (mentioned just because I made one, available at romhacking, translation section, number 5811), then I would have it but you too (always as long as I do not delete all your copies).

The laws will always be re-written to protect the companies, there is simply to much money at stake.

Some small notes: Smash Ult online isn't bad because of P2P, it's bad because it's delay-based. Dedicated servers would be worse. Maybe not in extreme cases of 3+ players that are max distance apart but objectively worse in 1v1s since the distance becomes equal to or longer than P2P would be. Slippi doesn't require a disc. You need the game ISO which can be ripped from a disc like any ROM or downloaded (that's the piracy concern). But Nintendo intentionally uses incorrect info because according the them, you can't make your own ISO from your own disc since they don't authorize you. US software copyright laws prove them wrong. They indirectly reference this specific law by using certain phrasing on their site (the "authorized copy" part) but they just blatantly lie on what that authorization means. The authorization in the law is referring to you authorizing someone to make a copy for you with your disc, like if you didn't have the hardware to do it yourself. Nintendo has no say in the matter but they pretend like they do.

Worth noting that ArcSys is also now working on implementing their own version of rollback to Guilty Gear Strive.

You are right but in business, reputation still does matter. This is way a ton of businesses that are technically too big to fail invest into crisis management, like Starbucks when it was discovered they broke their mission statement. Nintendo does have a public presence and that public presence has an effect. After all it doesn't just finance itself through customers but also equity investments. And while Nintendo may fragrantly ignore its customers, this noise is not invisible to the investors. Making noise is important. Shooting down loyalist fans defending every step Nintendo takes is important. The growing dissatisfaction of a group of customers has long term negative effects on equity. It scratches at the confidence of investors. Because let's not forget: The biggest investors are looking for a secure investment with consistent and safe output. And that doesn't just go for the competitive aspect, which is actually rather small. This goes about the even more severe aspects like Nintendo constantly downgrading its quality on hardware and software and their anti-consumer pricing and sales strategies. We really live in a wonderful age of market and consumer transparency where this is so much more to the question of investment than just black on white numbers (which however of course still are very much relevant!). And I think a good example to look at for this is EA stocks, which are dropping since February right now. So in conclusion, you are right that the buy or don't buy decision is a primary factor. But it's not the only factor, especially not in regards to a long term investment.

@@Alice-jp1kl not entirely correct here, delay based netcode is actually playable in worse connections, unlike rollback, mainly because it basically eats your inputs to preserve time, in delay-based, a bad packet sent causes a delay in the program, however, doesn't actually eat your inputs. In rollback, it would eat your inputs, since the program assumes what you were doing if they dont get the packet. In a better connection, the amount of lost frames in rollback(UDP) would near 0 in a second, while in worse connections(like utterly terrible) it would near 40, therefore eating most of your inputs. in delay based(TCP), there would be no inputs eaten, however, the stutter will be extreme. for the record, i have been in both situations, and delay was a lot better with worse connections.

@@masterwoo4359 Rollback doesn't actually eat inputs, what's happening when a packet gets dropped is the game assumes what your opponent was doing based on the last known input (which is correct 90% of the time), and then behind the scenes simulates the last several frames when it receives the lost input, so that the new gamestate will be reflect the inputs both players made. Conversely, with delay based netcode, if a packet gets lost the game will just freeze and no new inputs can be made until it starts moving again, resulting in very frequent dropped inputs. infil wrote a very good article on the subject if you're interested to learn the more technical details ki.infil.net/w02-netcode.html
@masterwoo43593 жыл бұрын
@@Alice-jp1kl I do know that they assume your input in a dropped packet in rollback. I have a pretty good amount of knowledge in online networks actually. Ok, I'll dig deeper on this now. "game assumes what your opponent was doing based on the last known input (which is correct 90% of the time)" This is true, but very misleading. The reason it is correct 90% of the time is actually because most of the time, the guess ur not going to press a button is correct. but when you actually bring up how responsive it is to a button input, the rates drop to what i mentioned. In a game recoveries are so prominent, this is a big nono. In a bad connection, the game lags for a pretty long time, which means you have the time to actually hold the button when it advances to the next frame, which means no dropped inputs "if a packet gets lost the game will just freeze and no new inputs can be made until it starts moving again, resulting in very frequent dropped inputs." This is why 1v1 good/moderate connection isnt good for delay-based, the stutter causes many dropped inputs due to the timing, while the rollback instead skips them, which is ok when it is less frequent. but progressively gets worse as connection gets better. Id say where the line cuts off is the bad-moderate connection area. To dig even deeper to this matter, there is lag lag(lost packet, slow connection) and input delay lag which are made due to different reasons, the former due to slow internet and the latter due to region differences. in rollback, it fixes the input delay issue by a lot as the input delay gets halved while delay based has more. This enables people to have a reasonable battle across regions. while delay based cannot. For this and some other reasons i have not mentioned, rollback is better in most cases and Nintendo should change it to rollback, (screw wifi warriors) but im just saying it also makes sense to use delay based

Not content with that, they’ve made it so that several of their FIRST PARTY games like splatoon or Pokémon can’t even be backed up online using that feature. Apparently they say that folks will use some exploit to cheat. Somehow Epic and several other developers have figured out a way to make cloud saves work. Yet Nintendo can’t be bothered. Furthermore, they also delisted several of the rereleases from their Wii U shop like DKCR: tropical freeze. They eventually recanted after backlash. But that’s the thanks you get for being a Nintendo fan and supporting the Wii U.

"If they can make money, they will do everything in their power to make as much money as possible." Except rerelease classic titles that literally everybody and their mother wants to play. The thing that I find the most ironic is this; I played AM2R just before playing Samus Returns 3DS. The games aren't similar in any way, other than overarching narrative. Both are great fun and AM2R doesn't encroach at all on SR. Yet Nintendo, in their wisdom, instead of buying the game and making it official, DMCA'd it. Makes absolutely NO sense to me.

You're not being offensive, a good chunk of it is a culture thing. There's an idea that's been with Nintendo since their inception that you should play a game the way the designers intended you to play it, the same way you use a product for it's intended purpose. To them, it's not a malicious thing, but that idea flies in the face of, well, basic gaming. And their obstinance to change this idea disconnects them further and upsets people. They don't WANT to understand, and frustrating, and then they themselves act malicious to protect that ideal.

Personally, the first sign of how corrupt Nintendo became for me was the constant stream of Wii-U-to-Switch ports coming out in lieu of actual new titles. It's scummy as fuck how Nintendo goes out of their way to screw over anyone who actually bought the games when they first came out with new content exclusive to the later versions; you're basically being punished for buying them initially when Nintendo easily could have added the new content to the original versions too.

I make no exaggeration when I say the stuff you put on this channel has singlehandedly stopped me being a “simp” for Nintendo, for lack of a better word.

It sad to see how this year alone Nintendo has dropped the ball harder than any other year in recent memory. But I want to say this: -Nintendo has always been corrupt even as far as the NES days when they had illegal monopoly by preventing compeition as well as price fixing thier games. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKjHZmmBbNejbaM It's just that we have only started seeing Nintendo's corruption and negligence in recent decades. EDIT: (I have some more things to say) -Being loyal to any cooperation is just setting yourself up for disappointment when they pull off stupid stuff and get away with it. -On average the bigger you are as a company, the more arrogant you become. No company is going to bend down to thier fans when their on top because there is no need to. Look at CD project red as another example with the cyberpunk 2077 fiasco. I bet if Sega was the one still making consoles and Nintendo went third party, Nintendo may be more like Sega now when it comes to how they treat and appreciate thier fans and vice versa and it may have been "Nintendoes what SEGAn't". It may not happen, but it's not that far fetched of an thought. Basically only if we decide to boycott Nintendo to the point that thier cash pile starts burning like hell maybe then Nintendo will start looking to us fans and start apologising and trying to rebuild that relationship that they destroyed for at least a decade. No amounts of 'freeing melee' or 'fucking Nintendo' is going to make a long term difference, all yelling no biting. Problem is though no other game company makes games in the same league as Nintendo. A mix of both delicate game design and nostalgia makes not buying their games a difficult choice that they use to exploit us. If there was at least another company that could exist to step into that league with accelerating success, Nintendo might start having to look to thier fans for answers.

One thing. Owning an emulator isn't illegal due to legal precedent set back in the 90's where a judge allowed play station one emulation software to be sold commercially. Getting roms or other game files from the internet for free is though. However; dumping game files from games you own and even circumventing copy protection to create archival copies "should" be legal due to precedent set when the motion picture association went after people doing the same thing with their DVDs and VHS tapes. However, the particulars of the ruling are pretty self contradictory and we'll never know for sure until someone actually fights it out in court.

I think that one of the main problems here is the fact that Nintendo's audience consists of lots of casual players. Nintendo youtubers forget about this group and think they are the main demographic. The casual audience won't notice these problems, so Nintendo ignores them. If every Nintendo fan was as dedicated as the community, maybe these problems would be fixed. It makes sense that Nintendo is ignoring the vocal minority. I suspect most players don't even get to the end of the main story, as so many of them are young children, and children don't think about these problems.

@@MrMoon-hy6pn maybe. Gotta remember that Nintendo thinks its core audience are 6-14 year olds though. Based on my friends that have a switch, I may have to agree. Although that's mostly due to lack of game selection. Mario is fun, but it's nothing most people get very serious about. Breath of the Wild is fantastic, but one good game isn't enough to hook someone on the console. There are good games on the switch, but most people probably already have em on their PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. All my friends that bought a switch played Animal Crossing for a bit and then just handed it off to their kids. I would hazard a guess to Animal Crossing not being a very exciting game. It's like Sim City, The Sims, or Minecraft building, it's entertaining and fun in its own right, but the lack of any action or excitement wears on you after awhile. When I was determining whether to get the switch or not I made a mental list of what games I'd end up getting for it: Mario, Mario Maker, Breath of the Wild, Metroid Samus Returns, Metroid Prime 4 (when it comes out), and Pikmin 3 (but I don't believe it was even spoken of then so it wouldn't have been on the list then). As opposed to the list for PlayStation games I wanted would nearly double the length of of this whole comment if I listed em off. I suppose this comment has gone on too long. It probably would've been easier to just ask, what is Nintendo's core audience?

Limited time Pokemon events are totally stupid. I understand that the Pokemon are meant to be rare and special, but I think that feeling would actually be stronger if there was some obscure and convoluted way to unlock them in the game itself. The "Mew under the truck" story gave Pokemon Red and Blue a tangible air of mystery and discovery, even if it was 100 percent fake. People were so convinced that the games had more secrets than they really did. Nowadays, there are no secrets in any of the games because all rare Pokemon are blocked behind paywalls or timing circumstances. This is a large part as to why the newer games feel soulless. It's not so much that the games themselves are poorly made (which is debatable), but that the marketing strategies with the games leaves nothing to the imagination anymore.

From what I remember learning about Japanese business culture, the way they make things and how they view them after release is generally very different from Westerners. Westerners are generally much more forgiving when people modify and innovate on their creations, especially it seems, with video games. We see it as innovation, and taking our ideas to the next level to make them as good as they can be. When Japanese people or companies make something, in their eyes, the way they made it is the way it is meant to be enjoyed. Their way is the best and only way to use a product. A fan-remake of Metroid 2, or a totally new Pokemon game made from the ground up, doesn't fly in their eyes because these fans have "taken" their ideas and screwed them all up. These aren't the "proper" ways to enjoy Metroid 2 or Pokemon. Any changes to their creations are a blight on their product, not an improvement, even if they are indeed objectively better. The same things also apply to Slippi and Melee. Since it's still a modification of Melee, they think it's "wrong." It's similar to how little kids get angry when you start building with their blocks or legos or whatever. Even if you know how to build way cooler stuff with their legos, or you make their little lego racecar better, they throw a tantrum anyways, because "you built it wrong." It wasn't the way they envisioned it, so to them, you've messed it all up. I am not at all defending Nintendo's abuse of their legal power here. Just because they have the rights to their own creations doesn't make it right for them to shut down so many fans. I'm just hoping to give a little insight into Nintendo's and the Japanese people's thought-process.

Well when people improve upon their products and literally made them better... that's quite a childish reaction from Nintendo. More often than not, customizability and choices improve on your products. Anyway, thanks for explaining the thought process.

Alright, but then what about stuff like Doujinshi? Why are conventions and even sales of Doujinshi using corporate IPs and such tolerated? Yet this isn't? Conversely, in the US companies like Disney, EA and Blizzard will call the special forces on your ass is you so much as even think of anything fan related regarding their games. I don't know if I can agree with your summary here.

Thank you so much for this in-depth video. It's very appreciated after I've seen plenty of people being shocked about Nintendo pulling all these anti-consumer moves last year as if New Nintendo being anti-consumer is somehow a shocking new departure from the way Old Nintendo used to function. They've been like this for years and only now are their actions starting to get widespread attention. Hell, even in the old days they were notorious for bullying other game developers and driving away third parties with very restrictive deals. I can only hope they treat their workers better than their fans these days. A few points: - Some more examples of corporate Nintendo taking down fan projects: The Pokémon Company (partially owned by them) took down a themed party hosted by a fan named Ramar Larkin Jones 5 years ago, pushing him to seek crowdfunding for his legal fees and putting him off organising any more fan parties ever again. Even years before that there was the Zelda fan movie, which also got taken down, and this was when Iwata was still around. So between this and the issue with Melee at EVO, the times before Iwata's passing weren't some kind of golden age of appreciation for fans, despite what some people may think (though Iwata was, of course, still a wonderful leader). Nintendo has also taken down a small business offering real-life Mario-themed karting experiences on the streets of Japan (though given the potential traffic risks and the fact that they were charging for it, this decision makes more sense). - Nintendo's official reasoning for SM3DAS (and presumably FE1) disappearing in March 2021 is because they were only intended for the anniversary, according to what Doug Bowser said in this interview: www.polygon.com/2020/12/17/22180318/nintendo-removing-mario-games-35-anniversary. He also said they had no plans for what would happen after that, but the whole thing seems kind of flimsy to me. - One reason why some of Nintendo's attitudes to online play make me upset is because they, and others, have shown that they can do so much better than that. There's no reason why Fortnite can support proper native voice chat on Switch while the creators of the Switch cannot. Hell, they even know about rollback netcode considering that ARMS has it working properly and the Smash team was apparently considering it at one point for Smash Ultimate, though Sakurai mentioned that it was scrapped for some "adverse side-effects". We'll never know what those were, but we almost got rollback netcode in Smash Ultimate! - Similar to the above, but on Nintendo's attitudes to competitive communities: The Pokémon Company has organised and even sponsored a myriad of official tournaments in the games and TCG, including prize pools (!!!) and they've been open for competitors of all ages, so you could even see children competing in them (and achieving high placings, for what it's worth). I feel that this ironically gets forgotten about in all the discussion of Nintendo's attitude to competitive communities where Smash takes centre stage, which makes it all the more irritating because Nintendo has shown that they can support competitive Smash (and all their other eSport communities for that matter), and do it very effectively. They just don't want to. - The Nintendo Creators' Programme, which defied all the benefits of allowing content creators to freely produce let's plays and related video game content by demanding they hand over a cut of ad revenue to Nintendo. Thankfully this has been revoked, though the "freedom" allowed to KZbinrs is still somewhat tenuous as can be seen from takedowns of some Nintendo-related videos like the Boundary Break one last year, and randomly dropping KZbinrs from their ambassador's programme without any explanation. Also, the soundtrack uploads on KZbin that they keep taking down (which is why I mainly use SoundCloud for listening to video game OSTs now, as well as it being way easier than KZbin). - Not even Twitch is safe sometimes. Last year, Nintendo banned Twitch streamers who were streaming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity in the early hours before the US release when they purchased the game legally in regions where it came out a bit earlier, such as Australia and Japan. - Nintendo never publicly stated that Joy-Con drift wasn't a problem in public and that information only comes from a message from the lawyers arguing against them in court who asked for the video evidence. This was after Nintendo's president publicly apologised for Joy-Con drift. This either means that the opposing lawyers were misrepresenting Nintendo or that they continued to have their lawyers argue against taking real change in court while pretending to commit to solving the problem in public, which doesn't really paint a good picture of how they operate. - On the topic of clunky controls in SM3DAS, several of Nintendo's games have drawn criticism for being inaccessible to disabled gamers. One prominent example is Pokémon Let's Go, where the motion controls for Pokémon catching prevent disabled fans from being able to play but can't be turned off because of "immersion". - In the same vein as the blocked EarthBound book, Nintendo of Japan stopped a pitch for an Archie Super Mario comic book series by Ian Flynn, the same guy behind the Mega Man and Sonic comics, effectively killing the project and preventing it from ever reaching fruition. Nintendo of America liked it though, while the guy himself doesn't seem to take too much issue with this, and has admitted that the initial pitch had some flaws in its portrayal of the Mario series in his view. You can read more about it here: twitter.com/IanFlynnBKC/status/1166822538242117633 - The creator of Fire Emblem, Shouzou Kaga, fell out with Nintendo after the release of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 and left Intelligent Systems to make his own spiritual successor, Emblem Saga, for PlayStation. This was before Keiji Inafune and Koji Igarashi did the whole "leaving parent company to make spiritual successor" thing. In response, Nintendo sued him multiple times for copyright infringement, even after he changed the name to Tear Ring Saga and removed all references to the original series, and basically Unpersoned him from any mention of the series' origins to date. - Nintendo ignores blatant ripoffs of their games that are clearly intended as cashgrabs while taking down fan games that are intended to be labours of love, as you said. This isn't as big of an issue to me considering that the smaller bootlegs are probably too tiny to even get noticed by the corporate bigwigs, but just putting that out there. - Another smaller-scale issue would be Nintendo's heavy use of the gacha model in their mobile games, which has received its fair share of accusations of being manipulative and exploitative. It's pretty close to gambling but marketable to all ages. Now this isn't a solely Nintendo issue and many Japanese mobile games linked to major franchises like DBZ, Final Fantasy and One Piece use this model, and of course the quality of these games and the extent of their shadier aspects has varied. It's bad only if you engage heavily in the microtransactions (which I stay clear of) but the risk is there. - One of the Project M devs compiled a long list of articles, posts and videos on Nintendo's various transgressions in a blog post, which can be viewed at press-z-or-r-twice.blogspot.com/2020/12/accounts-of-nintendos-crimes-against.html. Your video is linked from there, along with far more examples than one could fit in a KZbin comment like this one. I disagree with hardcore Nintendo fanboys who want to defend them for everything, but I think I can understand where they're coming from, as Nintendo makes good games that they've grown attached to and then become tied to their identity. They then experience a kind of denial upon hearing how scummy Nintendo is as a business, because Nintendo the business and Nintendo the creators have become interlinked, and the love they carry for the games has imprinted onto the corporate side itself, so they feel the need to defend Nintendo on everything they've done. Seeing the widespread reactions to Nintendo's anti-consumer moves last year honestly reminded myself of the time I first realised they weren't the rosy, friendly creators I thought they were when I saw them mistreating KZbinrs and taking down fan parties. That was when I learned to separate Nintendo's unsavoury actions as a business from my opinions on Nintendo as creators, and I hope these people learn to do the same. At this point I don't know if complaining online will do anything, considering that they've met with this kind of backlash before after some of their previous decisions and rode it out without changing their ways on the basis of their strong reputation. One can only hope that the large-scale criticism they got this time around will push them solidly into making a change. Hell, I still like Nintendo's games a lot, which is why I really want them to change and be better than this. Anyway, buying used games is still a available option for if you still want to play the games but not send money to the creators, and just because Nintendo's taken down a few sites doesn't mean emulation is gone for good. If you're a fan of the games but not the business, all the games can be obtained without sending a single cent into their coffers. I do have concerns about the effectiveness of boycotting to solve a more overall problem with the way they operate as a business, considering that gamer boycotts rarely work and Nintendo would be likely to interpret the boycott as occurring because of a problem with the specific product rather than their general business practices, but businesses respond to money and I've gotten too tired of venting on Twitter and just seeing more of this crap come from them to want to do it any more.

smash players complaining about p2p is so funny the fact they don't know how netcode works is hilarious. Its not even that it uses delay based, delay based netcode for real fighting games feels fucking phenomenal compared to smash ultimate's you should legally not be permitted to create a multiplayer game with online that bad. Or sell a fighting game with like 6-7 frames of native delay, something which smash ultimate players don't seem to think is much of an issue yet sfv on release deservedly got shit on for its 8 frames.

You're talking like if you knew what were the side effects that happened during development. Unless you have some actual evidence that it isn't as hard that you make it out to be, then don't start talking like if you had actual experience in game's development, the fact that at least Sakurai acknowledged the existence of rollback should already tell you that he wanted the game for the best. Playstation all stars battle royale was your best example? Really? That game's development and amount of content is obviously nothing compared to Smash Bros, just because it was easy to implement in that game, doesn't mean it would be easy for Ultimate.

Delay based netcode is super easy to make comparatively to rollback. They could have easily afforded it, but really the buffer system would be the much easier fix. Oh well.
