Re: Random: Someone Made A Manual For Super Mario 3D All-Stars To "Complete The Physical Set"

@fusermarucs I think that only really concerns video games themselves, as they could impact the property regarding sales etc. Like fangames, rom hacks, the like. Someone made a cooking book containing Breath of the Wild recipes and actively made use of the property. It got heavily crowdfunded and sells for 40 bucks or so. Sells well too. I don't think that's illegal. It's illegal when you publish actual games based on the property, even if you don't ask money for it. These non-game things are more tributes than anything else.

It's also complementary, rather than a Star Wars novel which seeks to build upon and actually use the property. I see this manual more like a coloring book containing some Mario stuff.

@HobbitGamer It's neat and creative, but it's still piracy. Nintendo's very own piracy page says it's not suddenly legal to get a rom from the internet if you own the game already. That's like owning a sofa and stealing one of the exact same line just because you already got one.

There doesn't need to be a justification for this either, it's super cool and Nintendo can stop this if they release their own games for not-limited times.

@Roto13 Aww, does it keep you awake? So much it makes you throw around personal insults? Grow some principles, or at the very least, some tact. Some HUMANITY, as people would call it.

Oh wait, I already had responded to you before. Dunno, you all seem the exact same. If you need to personally insult people over a game, you're just an idiot, like the rest of them.

@Heavyarms55 "vicious enemies ooohhh"
Scary, but Nintendo is a multi-million company and doesn't need people to help them out combating "enemies". Both sides are nothing to Nintendo, just people on the internet arguing. The problem does not lie with Nintendo, but with people who are too blinded to be able to even see that the quality of Nintendo's products is kinda declining. Just that, nothing more. No big issue threatening the peace, but it's there. You can't shove it under a rug.

@electrolite77 It's their right to not care and Nintendo's quality will suffer for it, but why would you defend it if you don't care? The pretense of "I don't care but the people who complain do" is astoundingly dimwitted. There's no need to defend, this is clearly not Nintendo's intent, it was a fault. A fault is called out and maybe something will be done with it. That's it, end of story. Nobody needs to jump to defenses. There's a lot of people on both sides who take it too far (look at bellhop Snakesglowcaps), but criticism is as much a right as is enjoying the games. Pretending there's no mistakes made is... Dunno, dumb? I try to think of a more nuanced term, but it's legit tough to find one. Silly, very silly.

@Snakesglowcaps Woah woah, pipe down. Did the alarm bells go off in your head again, ring ring someone calls something a bug? The debug cubes showing is a bug. They were not meant to show. The fact that this port has more bugs than the original is somewhat sad. You don't think so, that's fine. Debugging features aren't meant to show in a game, period. Otherwise they aren't debugging features. Maybe you've played too much Skyrim to care about polish and quality, but I'll stay picky since thanks to emulation I can focus on only the best games (which are 90% Nintendo games, mind you.) It's Nintendo's games that made me adhere to a certain quality standard, and it's Nintendo's lazy rereleases, combined with their urge to remove my way of experiencing their games, that make me question their decisions. Nintendo didn't ask for bellhops like you. A sad state of affairs is worth calling out and it's nothing more than that. No need to downplay the people who call it out and pretend you're the smart guy who is just here for ***** and giggles and the rest is wasting their time complaining.

I mean, that's not even the bellhop's task! 🤣

@PBandSmelly Yeah. It's honestly mostly that I feel genuinely sad for people who pay 60 dollars for a game that's TECHNICALLY better on an unofficial emulator (this by no means says you can't enjoy the games more on your preferred console), and then go so far to defend it when they end up losing out (unless they really put things into perspective and acknowledge that while the collection is pretty poor, they can still enjoy it on a console they couldn't play it on at first.)

The "preservation" bit is problematic as well. A limited release obviously isn't gonna fit the bill there. That's not preservation.

@VenomousAlbino People who actually played these games on original hardware come from an era where it wasn't usual to have bugs and glitches float around in your game. They're used to certain standards of quality and get picky when these aren't met. It's not that strange. Not when these games work better on unofficial emulators, the thing people use to experience these old games again, while newer Nintendo "fans", who have never played these games before, defend this collection with their lives.

@PBandSmelly That's actually a good point, I think as one of the people you talk about. I think it has to do with Nintendo being long overdue. They finally take a step, and then the product they release is the exact same as the ROMs and emus they try to take down so bad. It's like the police making an effort to wipe out drug use, only to start selling these drugs themselves and benefit from wiping out any competition.

@Snakesglowcaps It's a "great" collection, yet the motion emulation on Galaxy is wonky and the Sunshine experience... best experienced on a GameCube. I wonder how many of these so-called Nintendo fans have actually played these games on original consoles. Maybe then they'd realise what true quality is.

Hahaha the "lines" left in on purpose? How far are you willing to go to defend a clear imperfection with the game?

@Ventilator Owning a disc of the original doesn't magically make it legal to emulate (not sure who invented that *****). Besides, you don't need a reason for it to be legal either. You're completely right about emulating these games being miles better (even though Nintendo fans don't want you to know that and feel like they have to pretend to be happy with 60 dollars of rushed product). The PC port of Mario 64 is so much better than the Switch one, it's insane.
