Andrew N from Negative World writes: "It’s the Year of Luigi, apparently, and what I originally considered to be a one-off theme to be used for a single Nintendo Direct and discarded soon after has been shown to be so much more. Luigi has been given two starring roles in 2013; one in the recently released 3DS game Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (which is an amazing game), and another in the upcoming New Super Luigi U, DLC for New Super Mario Bros. U on the Wii U. He also plays an important role in the upcoming Mario and Luigi: Dream Team for the 3DS, where Mario can go into Luigi’s dreams while he sleeps. Ok fine, that sure sounds like Mario is doing all of the work again, but whatever... we’ll take it. Furthermore, Nintendo has created several Luigi-themed Miiverse communities, and in Japan they are even releasing a Luigi-themed Nintendo 3DS XL."
It should come as no surprise that Nintendo is pretty protective regarding its IP. Going after emulators, ROM hacks, and reproductions is one thing, but it looks like the firm is starting to aim its sights on something rather surprising: sheet music.
this reminds me of that nintendo facebook social media question where they asked people what their favourite nintendo song was and people posted yt links. EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS TAKEN DOWN
You want to kill a party fast just invite Nintendo. But we are talking about a company who took down pictures of a strategy guide that has never appeared in the west. You don't see Square taking down music or sheet music to Aerith's theme, Tifa's theme, June Mermaid. Memorable tunes stick with fans to great games. Nintendo games have fans that have been routed since the NES. People have Youtube vids showing how to play Zelda's lullaby on piano, violin or my favorite the harp. Nintendo taking down sheet music or those curious about a Japanese strategy guide makes Nintendo look like an asshole to those fans.
Torrent and Usenet is the way. Imagine if all these people just share game music, roms, fan remakes in that way instead of on a website. Nintendo would be so helpless and cannot do anything we all win LOL
Out of spite those people should now out put all that music in a torrent upload and share it (I will seed for them🤣) Then email Nintendo the link to it lol. Good luck taking down a torrent. Torrents and Usenet is the only way to get around anything Nintendo tries to take down because they can't. This is the way to preserve games and game music, without anyone telling you otherwise.
The latest Switch firmware update kills off support for the Elon Musk-owned social media company.
Social garbage should be abandoned altogether.. the world is stupid since these things got introduced
I would say YouTube was more to blame for this weird unrest we are seeing at the minute. That platform has given license to some of the stupidest people to build advice channels for kids growing through their formative learning years. It's no wonder there are so many incels around.
It’s for posting content like game captures, not responding to your boo’s pool pictures.
But F twitter anyway
correction, was a cesspit,
now more of just a swamp / everglades / marshland
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that
Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base
In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release
Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
Well, that was depressing...
I looked it up, and there is no pizza place with that name in Redmond. But there is one in Florida. But I guess it could have gone out of business before Super Mario Bros. was popular.
And on the Shy Guy section, they really missed an opportunity to make a Zelda reference.
And the guy above is right. That was depressing.
