@adamconover You don't buy games on Game Pass, games leave the service all the time, so clearly there's still a place for buying games for retail. Sony and Nintendo still have a strong catalogue of exclusive titles and studios. Pointing to dormant IP MS owns doesn't really prove anything.

@SamuelLucciano Not necessarily. Nintendo is a global company with different branches, and different accounts. They could easily have delegated checking the channel's video to confirm if the content ID'd videos were remixed or not, and issue mass blocks for their assigned lists.

@GhislainCoutur3 @ChristopWFisher @Joe_Sinister1 My dad was excited to hear Activision games joining game pass as he loved Diablo 3 but was disappointed in 2 Ressurection. I'll still gladly pay for Spyro games. If Crash remains multiplatform as promised, I'll still buy it for Nintendo.

@faulkie87 @nib95_ @DestinLegarie The most dangerous side to this whole subscription services is when PS & even if Nintendo joins the race anything outside that is being sold is going to bomb 💣. This will result in more & more F2P service based games. 1/2

@pierre485_ Yeah but they moved in with Nintendo so they have all the support they can get so am still surprised they're having so much trouble adjusting to HD development so much regardless of their size

Does Nintendo Switch Online VC still have hellish lag? I wanna see if anyone wants to play Super Star with me but not if it runs like poop.

If the fact that someone could have caused GilvaSunner to completely shut down their channel by issuing takedowns catfishing as Nintendo doesn't make everyone realize that the YouTube copyright system is completely ******* broken to its core, I honestly don't know what will

@HamzaSa21800118 @EdwardPritcha18 @TheNCSmaster Nintendo will literally fix your JoyCons for you for free (except shipping fees of course but that's barely anything), and I don't even see how drift is that bad on JoyCons either. I've had my original pair for over 2 years and I have a slight right stick drift.

@Rigorsbastion It's more about keeping yourself out of legal trouble. Protest all you want, and there are enough people to try and make the case to Nintendo and others tbh. Ideally a lawyer would help draft an online petition to help these companies meet their fans reasonably.

@Kobob_KC @SolScribbles I meant other ost channels getting claimed around the same time Gilva’s channel got claimed. Do you have some channels experiencing similar problems? Because I know Nintendo likes to claim multiple different channels.

@TheTrueGromoff I believe it's all real. Content ID identifies melodies. If Nintendo had different people within the company sweep through and verify that the videos weren't remixes, they could split up the work and issue blocks on anything that matched their Content ID.

@Mango_Magician Very few GameCube games use the analog triggers. And also... maybe Nintendo should just stop being stupid and include analog triggers. It would certainly help with 3rd party support, lol. That sounds like a "them" problem. A stupid one.

@tokotamer @QuesadillaXg @ScarletAkuma_ So if the bug was gamebreaking they would ask the devs to fix it, since it's not gamebreaking they don't need to care. If Nintendo realease their own games with bugs that are just fun I don't see why they would or need to ask Game Freak to fix this kind of bug

@KillEmWitSatire @Seven02Gaming Nintendo Switch has an annual subscription service for $20/year called Nintendo Online, which may be the service you already used to order the controllers, but once you’re in that you just go to the Nintendo Online section of the E-Shop and there’s an NES app wiyh a host of games

@adamconover Sony and Nintendo either need to do their own thing or offer a product/service that's within the ballpark of the value that GP offers. What you talked about is all speculation. We need to demand better of competition. I'm a consumer before a fan.

@adamconover So, Microsoft using its funds to give new games to players at low costs is bad?? It won’t effect Nintendo much at all, they have an entirely different consumer base. And Sony has its own subscription service, plus a catalog of good exclusives.

Dear @NintendoAmerica please fix your online system so I can buy a switch lite and not have to switch the primary system back and forth to play my digital games, YOU JERKS.

@Kobob_KC @SolScribbles The best solution to this whole thing would be if Nintendo just makes their own Music Library. Like that would stop both problems. It’s convenient and people won’t have to resort to reuploads to listen to their favorite OSTs

This video comes off to me as pandering and almost fear-mongering. Xbox has made a great service for consumers so the world is DOOMED? Yes, Sony/Nintendo could offer a competing service for $9.99/month (which = $250 million a month btw) and somehow still get by.

@QuesadillaXg @ScarletAkuma_ Nintendo test their own games to hell and back. The issue is GameFreak isn't actually one of their studios, but thankfully they're realising they need to get a lot more hand-holdy with GameFreak.

@KKosnich Either legit Nintendo, or people posing as such gave him hundreds of copyclaims and Gilva quit after 11 years of service.

so Nintendo wasn't the one doing the copyright on youtube. youtube needs to fix their copyright system. it's so easy to manipulate the system with it. it only favours big corporations to bully the independent creators

@DreamcastGuy @Colteastwood It really depends on how fast everything goes Digital Neither Sony or Nintendo is as far a long as Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix and Google. Like he said Nintendo is fine Mario & Zelda is all they cared about since N64. Sony not ready for the future and maybe in Trouble.

@JeanGen09181213 Oh Street fighter 2 got me in so much trouble as a kid cuz I got it for Christmas one year along with this super Nintendo and it became my first dysfunctional relationship because I loved it and yet I would get so mad at it at the same time sometimes throwing my control at the TV

@StonerRockGamer @kcul34 @thetruebowser This feels like an unnecessary outlet to **** on Nintendo, which is fine opinions be opinions, but at least do it when it’s justified such as with the Switch OLED or their online service.

@JinJon150 Oh you misunderstood i despise what happened to gilva and agree nintendo should actually give some damn alternatives. GilvaSunner was a necessary evil, so to say. But thats the sad issue, Gilva has no legal ground to stand on, so even if these claims are false, YouTube won't care

@adamconover Microsoft beign in 3rd place revenue wise is not a talking point its a fact.This deal does not represent a financial threat to either Sony or Nintendo and it will go through without a single problem.

@toonydamonkey @SolScribbles You can use Nintendo music in a background of a video but they clearly have a problem with people directly uploading their music. It’s not like EVERY claim was “fake.”

@LonelyGoomba It really is the best 3DS game. I mapped the camera to the face buttons while keeping flight touch controls, never had an issue. The problem with the 3DS is that Nintendo/Sakurai had a specific way they expected people to hold the 3DS. But the general populace didn't, it's weird.
