TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Creators Program Goes Live
« on: January 31, 2015, 03:23:49 AM »"Rightfully"? I'm with you most of the way, but am not convinced at all that YouTubers have the right to earn a living based primarily on the work of other people.
(...)
Either way, I'm pretty sure that the "value" YouTubers provide through exposure isn't something Nintendo cares about. Can't say I blame them either.
TheBigLewboskiThat'sJustLikeYourOpinionMan.jpg.
Dismissal of something you don't like doesn't make it an universally held opinion. YouTubers do hold real value to video game companies, do deserve to earn a paycheck from their work, and Nintendo just keeps showing how out of touch they really are.
I don't take TB's complaints seriously because quite frankly, his account's still up.
Huh? TB's not losing his channel over this. He's just not going to get ad revenue should he choose to make a video featuring Nintendo IP.
If these people are talented why the hell can't they get jobs in the industry? It's not that hard, I pulled it off and I am the least likable jerk you will ever meet. You got skills prove your worth and get a real job.
Jesus Christ. No. Just...no. A job in the industry, your name on IMDB, that ish means jack squat in this current work environment. PewDiePie has 34 million subscribers. He doesn't need the industry because he just made one for himself. Even people with a fraction of that following can earn a decent enough living without the need to "prove themselves" by getting a job in an industry that doesn't have room for them.

That's even more a shot at people who pick from all platforms for their content. Their contributions to Nintendo are worth less.
Also, congrats Nintendo, not only did you get PewDiePie against you, you also got me to agree with the idiot.

I registered a channel, will all of the videos in that channel be included in the Nintendo Creators Program?
A.Yes, all videos in the channel will be included in the program. Please keep this in mind if your channel contains videos that do not include Nintendo intellectual property.

So the quick math on my system tells me I played 500+ hours on Wii U for the entire 2014 year. And that's spread out over almost two dozen games. X sounds like it's going to be another good game, but it's destined to end up on my shelf just like the first game, with a save file barely 10 hours in.

The more I read about this, the more I have a problem with it.
- There's a list of games you're allowed to use under the program. (link) Want to make a video about Pushmo World? Bayonetta 2? Lego City Undercover? Hyrule Warriors? Tough luck, you can't earn revenue from those games even if you're registered with this thing. How about classic games? The original N64 Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask? Nah. Donkey Kong Country series? Forget it. Any Kirby game on NES or SNES? Don't even bother.
- Do you make video reviews and use YouTube as your main platform? Then get ready to surrender some of that ad revenue I guess, because apparently Nintendo is entitled to that as well. Pay Nintendo to use game footage for review purposes. Is Nintendo entitled to earn money from the content you do create? Hell, are they entitled to own the content you create?
- Never mind the fact that Nintendo can shoot down your content for any number of draconian reasons. And yes, I expect the approval process of content to be just as hellish as any other system the company has set up, specially after Reggie said this last year:
Creating video content for the web is a job, like any other, that requires as significant investment and time. (if you don't think so, then I suggest you go take a look at Retsupurae on YouTube). If Nintendo wants YouTubers to create content that caters specifically to their needs while taking a significant chunk of their ad revenue, then they should hire them to be part of their marketing team. It's that simple.

They gave you a free fucking $200 New Nintendo 3DS and you're complaining like a petulant little child about Nintendo giving you the opportunity to make money off of their products. How fucking greedy and childish do you have to be to be angry about this? You stupid piece of ****. Their taking 40% of money you possibly couldn't earn without. Not like you're actually making any money anyway.

I'm assuming Sony and Microsoft don't have a system like this and content creators can get 100% of the revenues (or the equivalent after YouTube takes their cut).
My main issue would be that this puts content creators in a position where it's better if you don't create Nintendo content. If you're GameXplain I guess you're ok since you're mostly just making videos for Nintendo stuff. But if you're GameGrumps or Normal Boots or The Game Theorists and you're deciding between featuring a Nintendo game vs a PS4 or XB1 game, what makes more sense for you?
Microsoft (along with Machinima) came under fire a while back ago for trying to influence coverage by content creators. I hate to think Nintendo is doing the same by holding their revenue and only approving the content they like.
Is Nintendo going to approve of things like the "Son of a Glitch" series?

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Wii U) - 8/10
I loved this game very much, but it's a perfect example of what you see is what you get. This is all Captain Toad, all the time. Anytime the game deviates from the mechanics that makes a Captain Toad level great the game suffers. The bonus 3D World levels are terrible, the coin rush levels are fun but slightly pointless, and the Mummy Me mini-game (and it's hellish final level "Mummy Me Maze Forever") don't add much to the game. The main levels though are a masterclass and there are some expertly designed puzzles and levels within them. The replay value is very low, but for $40 this game works perfectly.
Advance Wars (Wii U) - 9/10
Finally finished the main story over the holiday period. This is a brilliant game, and though I lost my patience a bit at times, I attribute this more to my gaming habits nowadays. Had my younger self played this when it came out I would have sunk so many hours into it. The final battle was incredibly difficult but satisfying at the end.
Thomas Was Alone (Wii U) - 7/10
A very good story wrapped up in a relatively easy platformer. While the gameplay is simple there are several good moments that make the entire product worthwhile. It's short enough that you can get through it in one sitting but you'll want to play it in stints of 10-15 minutes.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Project Cars Wii U: This has to be a lie. (trailer inside) Bump = no new info
« on: January 26, 2015, 08:01:30 PM »Question for those in the know or can speculate: If this game was canceled for PS360 due to those systems not having enough "power", why is it still coming to Wii U?
Because the Wii U is more powerful than those consoles?
The best I can find is an article from a few years ago where they state that their plan was always to bring the game to all available platforms. Most likely they knew the game was going to get delayed far enough to allow the Playstation and Xbox versions to get bumped up to the new hardware.

James Jones' "Boo's" joke is the Captain Toad of RFN jokes. Not going to make top 5 lists (or even be acknowledged by the others) but still solid, solid work.
It's only fitting we get Gamecube and N64 games on 3DS and GBA and DS games on Wii U.
Fatal Frame 5 was pretty much confirmed as Japan only by Tecmo Koei last September.
