They're not. Nintendo of Japan isn't actually a thing and never was. That's someone falsely claiming to be them. The real company will never use an incorrect name like that on a legitimate file claim.

Not to say Nintendo hasn't done a bit of this before, but this isn't one of those cases. Hell, the Etikons had nothing to do with copyright either(but trademark, where they had to take action or lose the rights to the Joycon trademark). I'm sure there's a lot of examples recently this year of legitimate copyright claims, though.
The blame is not 100% off of Nintendo just yet.

Its all about the Wording, The exact name "Nintendo Of Japan" is not a thing, But it could be possible that "Nintendo co. JP" Could be a thing, Not a name chosen by Nintendo but a designation by YouTube. I need to do some more research on Nintendo copyright claims to confirm/deny this.

This one is just... wow. It doesn’t even make sense. They don’t even sell these soundtracks. Nintendo is the only dinosaur in the industry that doesn’t sell their own music. I would’ve bought the entirety of the Smash Ultimate OST if I actually could.
Hearing this reminds me of that one direct where they talked about Ultimate having over 800 songs alongside video of a woman attaching her switch to headphones and putting it in her purse to use like an mp3 player.

Make the switch the only way to access their music, that must have been Nintendo's true endgame all along! :ultpacman:

This reminds me that a channel called Juno Songs claimed a copyright for a song from Super Mario 64 being the claiming company Sony (obviously not the real one) also the same thing happened to a channel called Skawo with a video of Paper Mario

Yeah, that's not going to happen. Nintendo actually would be on their case for falsely stating their data too. They're going to be exact, cause they can't afford otherwise. I'm calling hard bull on this claim as is.

I've seen worse. Somebody who can't even tell what the music was(claiming it was a Final Fantasy song when only the first few seconds at most were similar) had a really good video taken down. AMV's in general are of course a type of parody, but they don't always have a case of "enough unique content" either. Especially as it's just pasting a video onto music, neither of which you own, so. I mean, AMV's are awesome, but I get the issue with 'em in the eyes of the copyright holders.

I think the mindset this community has with TGA is pretty funny. One year with Ultimate Alliance and Smash. “Incredible. I’m watching every year.” Next year. No Smash but we still got Bravely Default II and No More Heroes. “Waste of time. Never watching this again.”

Granted yes 2019 was a lot worse than 2018 but I just think it’s comical.

Yeah, every single chance there is that Nintendo shares news, it's always gotta be Smash. It's like they have no other games, and it'll likely be like this until the DLC is all said and done.

Then again, I guess that's what can be expected of a Smash-centric forum like this.

To be fair, a lot of people didn't watch before 2018, so there wasn't much investment there in the first place. If you try something and it just doesn't click with you (Smash reveal or no) I can't blame you for dipping.

I'm not really sure if I'll watch this year or not. I might just out of curiosity, but I can't say I'm really excited.

You Know, With the Big Fast and furious Title the last Game Awards ended on ending being considered one of the Worst Games of this Year, and with 2020 Being the Interesting year that it is, I think Smash reveal or Not, The Game Awards 2020 has got to start the Decade of strong

There's probably going to be some type of announcement from Nintendo at the TGAs, but there's no guarantee it's related to Smash. I also doubt it's going to be the reveal trailer of a huge new game.

So yeah, best to keep your expectations low if you watch.
keep your expectations low
Hmm...
Low would imply closer to the earth...
Isaac manipulates the earth...

I got it! Isaac's going to be revealed for Smash at TGA alongside the Golden Sun remake!:4pacman:

I'm so ashamed of myself for how I acted last year...That's something I really want to forget about...

I'm no longer that obsessed with Smash reveals as I used to be. At the end of the day, this is just a game.

Besides what is another month gonna do?

Happy Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 release day!

This just made me Remember that Today is spirit Event day. I wonder if Today we get Puyo Puyo Spirits, assuming Arle not Playable

I wonder why it's the PS Exclusive Version, Considering Nintendo is Closer with Microsoft than Sony

It might add to that theory about a New Xbox Exclusive Ninja Gaiden game in the works

I want to get into Puyo Puyo but uh
My experience with Tsu has people interrupting my combos with a million %$#@ing Puyos at once
Twice in a row

I think I'm missing something because I am not good at the game
At the very least Puyo Puyo Tetris looks to have expanded the gameplay a bit, so that should hopefully make it a bit easier

I was browsing the Geno thread, and I saw that this had been posted:

Shadow shared this on Star Road and it's yet another reason why I don't expect Smash at TGA. That last line is so true. Power dynamics wise, Nintendo has significantly more leverage and TGA practically has to beg to get Nintendo to allow them to show anything meaningful. Joker was nothing short of a small miracle. It doesn't help that Nintendo has its own brand of presentations so if anything is shown at TGA, it's because they're willing to throw TGA a bone, not because they really need to.
I don't know if this helps or hurts the chances of anything Nintendo-related at TGA.
