"Companies aren't your friend." Streamers aren't your friend either, neither are content creators, but they still can be good people with flaws. Companies are masses of people, who may or may not deserve congratulations for their hard work. People with hopes and dreams, flaws and crimes, all together trying to make something special.

People tell you the company isn't your friend is the same way a parent might tell you nobody on the internet is your friend, and neither are the majority of people you meet on the street, that doesn't stop them from being important or good people. There are friends on the internet, but I can agree that saying something equivalent of a house for people is your friend is insane. We live in a world of 8 billion.... let's just get along.

Happy anniversary to all the people inside Nintendo!

@Thomystic Smart Waddle Dee knows things, I must capture it so that I may never look dumb in the comments section again! MWAHAHAHAAH-
In all seriousness I thought they were native because of how Austrailia literally waged war on them twice. (also I apologise for saying it instead of them, villain persona and all that for the joke)

I want an Emu Game. An emu game with a hot topic, and skateboards. Set in austrailia

Patents mean methods, not the end result like copyright is meant to protect. Patents I think also use include trade secrets or encryption, my opinion is that though palworld is questionable, they exploited the law just enough to avoid copyright, but if somebody on the team copied trade secrets or encryption keys... first why tf would you copy that if you can code, second they deserve it 100 % if so instead of 80%... If it's code or mechanics... Good luck getting that to stick, code is copyright, and mechanics don't fall under copyright , trademarks, or patents as far as I know

From Wikipedia:
A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time in exchange for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention.[1] In most countries, patent rights fall under private law and the patent holder must sue someone infringing the patent in order to enforce their rights

I can agree with headpirate here.

I also am totally tubular, Shell out for me my peeps.

@LikelySatan I don't see it often enough for that kind of beatdown either. What is wilton on about?

Here we stand, in an endless, past, present, future span.
Our wishes are the flames that light up history.
We've come far, you and I, on our journey.
Sights and sounds, highs and lows, all that we've seen.
Nothing at the start, at the void of night.
But then out there, in the dark, a path came to light.
Did you think back then we'd be here? Guiding others in our shoes?
Tiny, tiny seeds, left on the trail, someday to bloom.
Star at night, glowing bright, bringing us your light-
A message to us from far in the past, saying, "Shine on!"
Words you write, line by line, showing us your sights-
Passed down to us so we sing them today, we feel you still.
Team past. History.

I think having it as an addition to regular gameplay is best. Otherwise it becomes an animal crossing clone.

I desperately want to sing in the comments section for this game

@Nintoz unspeakable acts at a reasonable price

I like how the creatures are designed, the wolf in the thumbnail and the llama in particular... I think the human cast is colorful.... but I haven't seen enough world interaction to determine whether this is will be good.

If the humans can't interact with the world like ingame... I'm out.

Also the creatures would look way better if their models were allowed to clip. I know that's considered bad, but the continous softbody skin brings the excellent texture work down a peg, plus that's how it works ingame.

@FantasiaWHT The orange text usually tells you which option to pick, or gives you a lead, turn highlighting on if it's off. It's a better system than the first 2 games but not perfect.

@Olliemar28 pay attention to the highlighted orange text, it's a guide on what to do next.

I smell a certain kind of artist on the concept art team.

if my money allows, believe in the heart of the bills!

Tiana is my favorite, design wise, I really love yellow, even froggy yellow. The contrast between her skin and the dress, draws my eyes to her face, even though the dress is brighter. I see what they were going for with the purple dress on the white chick, yellow and purple contrast, but they don't look nearly as smashing as Tiana.

I am obsessed with this villain. The name makes me smile just thinking it. E M I O The Smiling Man.

@LikelySatan I think they mean scraping the internet for feedback.

pearl's outfit is more reminiscent of a gay scene outfit. pearlina?

why is nobody excited for emio? the music in the girl who stands behind was awesome.

why does this article have the sega skin? the blue is usually reserved for sega games.

I think the Past informs the present and the future... I love history, so the Past it is!

@Samalik there are 16 set personalities and a catchphrase, villagers pull from this pool of dialogue.

@sanderev Since the Dev is rebranding I view this as a good push forward that the dev needed to move on. But it's still sad that it won't be available for a few months.

Good words work better with proper dandori. I think from software has three options, make smaller indie like games so that they have the budget to fail, with the potential to profit... This is the warchest approach where less spending is good. The second is to make a big AAA game and hope it sells well. This is what most AAA publishers are doing... and I don't think it works very well.

What nintendo does is make games that they think will succeed alongside games they want to make, so that they can be pleasantly surprised and well as sustained. I think I'd reccoment this approach, as sustainability comes before making what you want, even if making what you want is the end goal. Funny how surprise and delight works in their business model.

the mod creator waikuteru has a patreon. I think that's why. Never charge for fan content.

It's within the copyright holders rights to accept or banish fan content. I've heard that it's literally law in japan that fan content has protections as long as the copyright holder turns a blind eye.

@HeadPirate The way you disrespect people isn't my vibe, I picked up very big "this man is gullible laugh" vibes from your last comment. I am not gullible, and you should put more care into respecting others, even if they disagree with you, but not letting them run your life.

@HeadPirate I thought you sounded rational until that guy turned out to be a lawyer. so I'm just not reading your essays anymore.

@HotGoomba goombers have ears?

Make actual fangames instead of remakes, Nintendo comes after Remakes harder.

@abdias Toby's parts of the soundtrack are good. The hill you are on isn't worth the suffering required to live on it. Though I will admit, he can't make this shine.

@Kermit1 which frame?

15 noms? Om nom nom nom.

@Eel oh you tease!

Joy-con themed Smash controllers

I like to move it, move it
I like to move it, move it
I like to move it, move it
We like to move it!

I like to move it, move it
She like to move it, move it
We like to move it, move it
We like to move it!

both of the comments above me, sheesh.

I hope it has touch to walk controls instead of a bad joystick, and that homing attack targets can just be tapped on to go there.

I worry for Toby's mental health.

@chaser206 attack on character, dislike report, whatever this man.

@HeadPirate

What happened was that there were abuse scandals and Nintendo hates mods because they interfere with the original creative vision (They don't hate fans lol).

You also said that Nintendo can't take down every tournament or copyright violation... but they can at least take down any that exist online, Music detection systems are very powerful, that's why they were able to put out these guidelines, they do turn a blind eye.

It's not a fantasy to fight for rights to use things we own, I do not live In LaLaland, If I was I would be suggesting that Nintendo allow piracy. I believe that copyright needs limits to how far it can control users. Things like taking videos and posting what they play, hosting events, even right to repair, which many companies use copyright and voiding warranties to fight. We do not enter contracts when we buy food, a wrench, or a puzzle (closest comparison to creative works I can think of). We can film these things, host events that involve them. I know that the public performance laws for copyright outright prohibit these things for games and other forms of media. Posting Elsa's Let it go should not happen, but having a video be taken down because it was playing in the background of something different, I could see fair use being extended. People even abuse copyright to cover up evidence of abuse (See Police using it prevent filming Brutality)

Many people claim fair use when backed into a corner with copyright, that's the only thing they do really.

I don't believe I have a strong enough arguement for modding. So I won't bother with that.

(replacing old message to add context to convo, otherwise I'm peacing out)@sanderev preventing piracy is protecting sales, controlling a tournament is not protecting sales at least for people who actually know a thing or two about how brands work, for people who can't tell their brands from their behinds, it is protecting sales.
My issue is that controlling how a user uses your expression is not a form of protection offered for most forms of expression (Look at people quoting eachother out of context on twitter, unregulated.). So that is a reason I disagree that games should have the same protection. that is a form of me disagreeing with it, I'm sure I can find others if I'm pressed.

@dew12333 It's a frustration that the idea is everywhere yet you can do nothing with it.

@HeadPirate IP holders shouldn't have rights to control users. Only to protect sales. And this is control of how the game itself is used. If one doesn't follow guidelines, Nintendo enforces copyright instead of turning a blind eye. I don't think they should have rights to turn a blind eye sometimes, and enforce other times. It's too messy.

An aside regarding modification and fanwork, I only have beliefs here, that only modifications that replace existing works should be struck down. I do not think this part is strong enough to debate, as it is not wholly definitive. Please respond to the first part instead.

@Samalik Rouge the flat

Daisy's voice actor could use some rasp, but I don't want them to ruin their voice...

@GrailUK HaHa HaHa, Yeah they are.

@Angelic_Lapras_King It wasn't hackers doing the taking down, nintendo wanted to prevent bad actors from using an exploit

Isn't the star thing just mario vs luigi in sonic?
