Why Nintendo Hates Your Fan game - Tallest Flash

first

Nintendo taking these down is just a stupid business decision. It'll both alienate fans, and, alienate promising game designers, programmers, you name it. They're literally losing out by doing this.

Awesome video my friend :) Consider me subbed to your channel look forward to seeing what else you have.Cheers

hot

This was a dank meme

Dad?

i loved your video and how you explained how Nintendo treats the fan games, well a lot of companies do this, they don't have the time to check fan games and other related thing that Nintendo fans do, they just shrug it off and work on another new. super Mario game, if its popular then they might see it and still shrug it off, like when you talked about the good fan games that other fan of the company make I never seen it (maybe because i'm stupid), but anyways this comment is too long and i'm pretty sure i'm boring you with this over mass of world anyways happy 420 for the subs! (i loved your video by the way, plz don't hate me)

just wondering for a small channel i like your content alot more then others your size how do you make you vids?

I am curious, why do you keep saying "non-profit fan games", fan games by definition should be non-profit or they're doing something much more illegal. They do look into these projects before they take them down (without going into too many details, I've contacted their legal department before, they get back to you fairly quickly and do look into things). (Speaking as a guy that has been doing this for a very long time,) I don't necessarily think the landscape was laid out too accurately by you, but you did make a good side note about bootlegs and people infringing on these things on places like app stores. Nintendo isn't as harsh as many of these "recent incidences" portray.

AM2R was direct competition for the original, which is still sold, and Pokemon Uranium was a good example of more popular of something that was for free. As a longtime fan game creator, I think Nintendo did the right thing as they need to do this. I find it even more humoruous that people use those as examples, and as you pointed out there are plenty of bootlegs out there that have not been touched, or the countlessly many fan games Nintendo has not taken down (despite having a long established place on the web, e.g., MMFG). I can give you some other examples, like when Nintendo took down the download link of the first demo of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2D; they still sell OoT (in many ways), so it was a dumb move by the creators of that fan game to be so open about their project. Hate to sound old here, but in my time it wasn't necessary to show off all your stuff online, you could just do it for fun and just show your friends.

People don't put enough responsibility on the fan game creators, I think more should be doing this as they're the ones infringing here. I'll tell you straight up when I make a fan game that I'm infringing somebody's copyright and IP, and if that company doesn't like it, then I do something else; making fan games is a hobby. People need to learn that some companies do and do not like their IPs used; Nintendo's characters and lore is their lifeblood and have the financial incentive to protect them, Sega (for instance) is in no position to do this financially. Some companies are more open than others, fan game creators need to be more intelligent about which projects they choose to make. For instance, I focus mostly on Mega Man fan games these days as Capcom tends to be very friendly with fan game projects. Of course as long as people that do this hobby do it ethically, I'm sure some of these companies will have no issues if your project is original enough to deviate from things they actually sell. I just found it interesting that now all the sudden everybody finds themselves talking as if they thoroughly understand the "fan game landscape" just after these few examples, despite it being much more complicated. I did a video on my channel discussing the same subject as you; I think I spent 5 minutes just premising the video due to the nuance that exists for this subject.

Stolen from game theory :/

Awesome video dude

"Nintendo cant oversee the quality of fan games"
After paper mario, star fox and metroid id say they cant oversee the quality of their own either

so nintendo are anti–fan games? i guess its non–sense to me

Well now we know why they took down AM2R... Because they really are working on a Remake and also did so while AM2R was released

You know whats sad? That most small channels don't get as much attention as they should get.
Btw. Why do you have a different account just for commenting?

Let me say wow

The only reason why there taking the games out is because they want people to not play good games and force them to give them their money for a game, and destroy months or years for people to enjoy, just for Nintendo to easily take it down, just because that person loved the games and used their sprites, this is why SEGA is better...

S E G A d o e s w h a t N i n t e n d o n t

bundertale suk

Hmm Some Of The Script Was Copied From Haedox's Video...

Screw copyright laws

sega and toby fox are both chill with fan games meaning the worse the fan base the more they will accept fan games

Before watching this, I have some ideas.
Some people charge no money for them, so there pretty much selling the games for free. Also, if it's for more consoles, people are just going to buy those

Sega hires the guys that made fan games to literally make the best sonic game ever

Nintendo takes the fangames down and tells the fans "fuck you buy our games we hate you"





Nintendo would probably make so much more money if they just let the fan games be fan games

The classic
“Does litterly the opposite of what would be logical”
Nintendo fan game thingy edition

This is why sega is better

I think Nintendo doesn't like it because of... Well... SONY.

I am to our make sense to the fact they remade Metroid to so in a way if the capital up the lid just got off freeway to get it stupid I know

Nintendo doesn’t hate fan games. But copyright laws do exist you know.

Nintendo is hateful to us as gamers and customers

Nintendo favors their own pride and ego over anything else.

Good job you can work with sega

Why doesent Nintendo go to fan games and say can you work with us so we can make money

I think you missed a key detail in this video that constitutes why Nintendo (and other companies) have to defend their copyright.

So, a fan-game, by definition, uses copyrighted material. As such, a company is legally required by law to take down any material that violates that copyright. If they don't, as a company, they risk actually LOSING their own copyright, and it becomes harder to fight in court.

Hence, why fan-games that are high quality are usually removed; the fact that they could constitute as an official product leads to the judgement in court that if they don't defend their own copyright (and file a DMCA take-down), then they risk losing it themselves. A fan-game that quite clearly is badly made can be left up, because it's not going to gain much attention, and additionally won't be mistaken for an actual product.

Nintendo: We Take Down Fan Games But Not Rip Off Games :D

Sega: What is wrong with you

i just want to see the metriod gameplay

subbed <3

Seems like Nintendo lost a customer for smash and if I buy it and they don't add bandana I'm selling the game.

RIP Pokémon Essentials...

If I made a Pokemon game with only fanmade Pokemon, custom music, just overall 100% custom stuff would it be taken down 🤔

Nintendo, y u do dis

*Fans : Makes Mother 4 *
Nintendo : REEE
Fans : Nintendo you had me but I never had yooooouuuu

These fangames have the "The franchise is not from our property, it belongs to Nintendo and (insert developer's name here) please support the original works" message at the game's intro or even the credits...And Nintendo still bans them...


Excuse me...? :I

Nintendo doesn't just hate fan games, THEY STEAL THEM.

No nintendo is being greedy with their characters

Someone : * made a fan game using the mario franchise *

Nintendo : G e t O u t O f M y P r o p e r t y

Yeah they should of made a roblox account and look at pokemon brick bronze before deleting it from roblox
