You're right. It's not normal practice. Normal practice in the entertainment industry is to just kill the video. Other developers do this too, you know.

They're back in stock

Well they removed them from searches meaning they weren't meant to go up yet.

Yeah, I caved and got the big pack. Was only going to get the bundle and one of the Inklings, but I figure...why the frak not? Plus, I get a bitching t-shirt

Ok, noted for Mario Party 10. The statement isn't absurd. He knew the situation, he knew his video would be taken down and then he made his rant video about the whole thing. The rant video is getting a lot of traction and is being monetised. His name is also all over gaming sites now. That's how he has done it for publicity/attention. Use your head. You don't half talk a right load of crap, also, Sheikah. Too blind to see the forest for the Nintendo-hating trees.

He couldn't get any money because he didn't put the video through the revenue share system, which he knew exists because he previously has commented about it. He did this all for publicity, how can you not see that?

I agree, all reviews should be exempt from the monetisation rules as reviews fall under fair use.

Yep. Their current system is to sign up to their program which has them take 40% of the money Youtube gives after Youtube's cut. The way AngryJoe words it is that they take 40% of everything, too

I would agree that it's free publicity if they weren't monetising it.

Nintendo have the programme so it's not all taken. What gives people the right to use other people's intellectual property to make money? Why is that alright for games and nothing else? Yes, games are a bit more transformative than movies, but when people put out all the game has to offer on video, it's still detrimental.

Yeah, all the legal stuff is clearly just fanboys. Only fanboys think companies have a right to get money from people monetising their property. He even admitted he did it because things were slow. He has the capability to do the revenue share and he chose not to do it. He knew ahead of time what was going to happen, and admitted he did it due to a slow weekend. The free publicity argument is a complete fallacy. It's not free publicity.

He never really covered Nintendo. He went in KNOWING this would happen as he has commented on it in the past. He begged for donations to get his Wii U also. This was nothing more than a publicity stunt to get attention so he can monetise the rant video. Do Nintendo need to sort their policy? Sure, but let's not pretend this guy is innocent in this. He knew it would happen and making a rant like that acting as if he's shocked and it's something new, no. He did it to get attention. I am still stunned by the audacity of youtubers who think they can use other people's intellectual property to earn money and that the developers don't deserve a cut. I think Nintendo's doing the right thing, they're just asking for too much of a cut. 20% would be fair. They need to strike a better balance. Imagine you wrote a book. Someone then put a video on Youtube where they read the whole book, but with their own twist. That's what this scenario is. You'd be pissed. In movies, if they use a piece of music, they have to pay for rights to use that bit of music, even though it's not why people see the movie. Some youtubers are acting like entitled children. Why do they think they can earn money off of other people work just with the guise of it being "free advertising"?

People also need to double check the lag the originals had from button pressing

Now it all makes sense. You got the superpower of fast game completion due to your continued exposure to radiation.

My bad. Thought it was familiar.

I saw people filming like 3 frames lag from pressing the button to it appearing on the GamePad and claiming that was indicative of input lag on them

This is a massive 22.7GB download

What do you do for work again? :p You do these so fast.

Thank god for Save States

Anyone getting this Wednesday? Free to play, which sucks, but Rumble can be good mindless fun and it seems like they haven't skimped on the gameplay.

Dr. Luigi was awesome

Nice catch!

Yeah, I added a new vote for Bomberman because Bomberman is badass. So now, I've voted for Captain Toad, Inklings, Qbby and Bomberman
