Well if these come out in the US it is going to make for another weird addition to my complete US amiibo set to go right along with a cereal box & an oversized plushy lol.
So I get that people agree with what this charity is doing & that is why they are upset that Nintendo made them ask for permission. (Which they ARE working with them to get the permission but the timing didn't work out for this event).
But if they allow this one to do what they want without permission first, then another charity...say one for a questionable political or humanitarian reason...uses Nintendo games for their charity & can then argue that it should be allowed because this other one wasn't made to get permission for each game.
One protects from the other. When RTA became a legal entity they should have understood they then had a higher regard for what they needed to seek permission for in order to operate within the allowed boundaries. Same reason campaigns have to get permission to use songs & such because the creators may not agree with what the group represents.
@YinYangYoshi 1. It's free advertising for the games being shown that is run by another corporate legal entity outside of Nintendo's control. 2- Twitch users aren't corporations & Twitch still has to follow the rules on what can or can not be streamed if a rights holder asks them to remove or edit it. 3- ITS FOR FREAKING CHARITY. - But Nintendo has the right to say what charity their IP can be used for. They are going through the steps to allow them to use it, with proper legal permissions, so they aren't just shutting the door on it. But if it was for something Nintendo didn't want to support...then they have that right to deny it which is why the permission is needed. And if THIS group is allowed to use their IP, without needing to ask for basic permission as a legal corporate entity...regardless of their charity or not...,OTHER corporate entities can point to it as an example of why THEY should be able to use it...& it likely won't be a charity reason. Nintendo (& any company or creator) has the right to control how their IP is used whether you agree with it or not.
@Pachterkid I can understand some people having issues with the system, or the company itself, for sure...but I really appreciate you still being positive about this!
I was told (by Peer - co creator of IGN) that not only has this story MADE it to Nintendo, but that it is being circulated all around the company!
@FishieFish Actually yeah...I was playing Monster Hunter with it earlier lol. I also play on Wii U. "Psychoticzen" on Nintendo Network. My oldest has it on 3DS so we can coop here and on the go, and I will be getting a copy for my youngest because he wants to join in too.
@Goginho I would LOVE to have Nabbit in Smash Bros! As soon as I read the comments here about it I have been stuck on that idea lol. She could play along and we can give her a huge amount of lives. Let her be the wild card in the match lol. See...you guys got me thinking even more now!
@Mk_II Actually, I made a friend that works for Nintendo back during the Best Buy event that was in Pensecolla. I have talked to her on Facebook and she is printing out the story and taking it to her boss today. May not go anywhere from there...but this was a story I wrote yesterday morning before school, sent it to a few friends on Twitter and then some friends at GamePolitics.com. Phillip Kollar (@Pkollar) picked it up and started retweeting it then other sites started grabbing it from GamePolitics...it just snowballed! When I took her to school this morning she was still singing and talking about getting to play.
Hey to all, this is Jeremy Powers (Jennifers' Dad lol). Thank you all for the support. I'm still in a bit of shock at how fast this has spread and grateful at how hard everyone has pushed to get it out just about EVERYWHERE. I have been getting comments from other parts of the world, I've already got a game developer that has a similar vision issue as Jennifer talking to me on Twitter, and I have seen almost NO negative feedback about it. It makes me smile that even with how "sided" we can be as gamers...we can still come together to smile at a kid playing a game along with the rest of us when originally we feared it wouldn't work.
