As many expected, Nintendo is likely going after the recently released fanmade Super Mario 64 PC port. After gaining notoriety and popularity throughout the internet, certain YouTube videos and Reddit posts featuring gameplay recordings of the port have been copyright claimed. It appears that Wildwood Law Group LLC, a group that has previously assisted Nintendo in these matters, is responsible for going after the uploads of the game. Not only that, but TorrentFreak is also reporting that they got ahold of a complaint that Nintendo filed with Google, in regards to a Google Drive download link of the game, with the statement, "The copyrighted work is Nintendo's Super Mario 64 video game, including the audio-visual work, software, and fictional character depictions covered by U.S. Copyright Reg No. PA[REDACED]." Links containing a download to an .XCI Nintendo Switch port of the game also appear to have begun making the rounds as well. Seeing that the group behind the Super Mario 64 PC port uploaded the complete game online all at once, many users have probably already backed it up to a variety of sources.

Let me tell you the truth. Copyright in general is a bullshit. Few years for some IP is ok to make money out of it, anything more than couple of years is a bullshit imo.

Let every company have the right to metroid after 10-20 years and lets see who will make better Metroid,Mario,Zelda and who has right to collect the money from their wonderfull creations! If it turns out that Nintendo makes best zelda, metroid and mario games than let them have the money...but to sue people because they wanna play ...video games....it sound ridiculous when i say the word "video games" like i said "lolly pop" but to sue people because they want to play certain video games (or eat lolly pop that is saying nintendo on it) is way beyond inhuman and nonsensical.

As i said, 10-20 years of owning the IP and that let it be public and lets see who will be best Metroid game creator! Little competition wouldnt be nice.

And besides, they did not released Metroid game in 15 years!!! and now they sue people for having desire to play their games??

Greedy bastards..and all companies that have right to IP for 1000 years.... AFTER they die!

They can buy 30 nintendo companie 10 times over and they go around suing common person, a hacker who want to share and play the little hairy dude with a mustache and red cap.

FUCK YOUUUU greedy bastards!!!!





P.S. I love you! don't be so mean. Learn from SEGA.

MB or GB? I found one but that's 6MB. Not downloaded it.

I can't remember the one I found. I think I deleted it a while ago, too. Sorry man.

My guess is that the game will have a larger file size than 6MB, but I have no clue. I downloaded the file from the official source and didn't think much of it.

Chances are, it might be that one. Try it. Keep an anti-virus software near though, I wouldn't worry too much anyways.

I didn't bother because my Nintendo 64 still works, so does my Nintendo DS.

I wish they do fully decompile the code for Mario Kart 64 one of these days.

Now, that would be something special. MK64 was a decent game, too.

Aight, no problem. I still have the physical Mario64 for my phat NDS and I think that's much more fun.

Physical copies of games are always much more fun it seems. Something about popping an old cartridge into a console is much more special than stealing a ROM from the internet and booting it from an SD card.

the guy is an idiot thinking he could get away with releasing this without consequences. especially the way nintenDMCA is now

Exactly. I can't see myself play Mario64 with a xbox controller or mouse+kb.I don't even have Windows 10 to "play" the port.

 

[Jayro]

Who told you that?

It's common knowledge. The N64 copyright ran out a few years ago. So now hardware clones can be made legally.

Amen brother. I do have Win10, but I rely on RetroArch and stuff anyways.

A little project I've been working on is a breadboard-based 3ds controller. Right now, I just have the o3ds joystick, and a few tact switches. Hopefully I can work that stuff out eventually. It is more of a dream currently. But this will hopefully teach me quite a bit about coding, especially regarding GPIO slots.

Once they come out with a Pi capable of running more powerful consoles in emulation, it will be testing time. Like I said, this is much of a dream.

it was ported to switch...?! love to see that

you hav totally lost the plot lol if i invent a game character its mine noones else's - id like to see you come up with a video game character and see it used in a way which you may not like and someone else is profiting from it without doing fk all lol -people should go about making ther own ideas instead of being a lazy ass ponce and basically stealing

Awesome! Dreams are that keeps us running. But sometimes they come true and sometime they do not come true. Keep it up!

I wish I could code but it seems not in my nature.

Strange... Copyright is like for 20 years?

Patent protection lasts 20 years. Patents are very different from copyrights.

Let every company have the right to metroid after 10-20 years and lets see who will make better Metroid,Mario,Zelda and who has right to collect the money from their wonderfull creations!

You think only good games will come out of that? What if the market gets so completely flooded with terrible Metroid games that no one wants to play them anymore?

 

[Deleted User]

In all fairness, if Sega was even remotely as big as Nintendo is right now, they would probably adopt the same mentality too - Nintendo is overly protective of their franchises exactly because of massive amount of responsibiltiy in front of numerous shareholders, while Sega has much less at stake, hence more room to screw around with their IPs as a result.

Valve is probably as big as nintendo if not more, yet a lot of their history is related to fans modding their works.

Get your facts straight.

SEGA starts quietly removing YouTube users' videos... and gets entire accounts banned
