I don't think I can't keep myself from hiding this from everyone anymore.

Yes, please do. We're here.

You got a point there. I swear I wasn't aware, back then I was too focused on Ridley to even pay attention to something like the Mii Gunner. But eh, nice to see some good fanart of her.

Let's be real, something that isn't cute has been fanart for over 99% of characters, so.

But yeah, the fanart is pretty cool~

Will the Tifa Mii Costume have boobs?

They'll be pointy bits.

I know that's how it is, but at least I tried to be hopeful. But eh, nothing is sacred.

Already made the PM.

May god have ****ing mercy on me, because I'm scared about the next hours.

Honestly, Nintendo is worse about it. Even fanart was something they couldn't stand. That's silly. I get being annoyed at stuff like porn, but general wholesome fanart, and wholesome fanfiction? Jeez. There's protective and taking it too far.

I genuinely wish you the best. I'm very concerned, I am so sorry to hear all of this is happening.

This particular Sakurai presents would be the perfect time to finally put the verdict of the CacoMallow image to rest.

But I'm on Team Fake.

Oh wait, really? Because I do get that making NSFW art of their primarily family friendly characters is pushing it too far, but any other kind of fanat that like you say is wholesome they also wanted to put a stop to it? Geez...fanart is basically like free publicity/advertisement for them (again, putting the NSFW stuff far aside). Nintendo has done some pretty dumb decisions, I don't know for how long because I have kept more track on Ubisoft's rather than them as I don't even buy any console anymore.

It was along time ago, and they were shutdown by the court hard for taking it too far. They seem to finally not worry too much about that, but they were that damn overprotective at a time.

Obviously it's very different from them shutting down stuff like mods/using mods to make money in some fashion too. That has some actual merit to the issue. Fanfiction/art is just a fan showing their love instead.

Regardless, I'd love it if people did fan interpretations of my content. I mean, it's all for fun. I might be more iffy on mods, though. And I sure as hell wouldn't want people selling content I made without me knowing/approving it/getting some royalties too. A good way to put it is there's context on what they do, and how I'd react. Some companies don't care about the context.

For the record, on the NSFW thing, Nintendo got shutdown on that too. NSFW counts as parody for all intents and purposes. Not that they're unjustified in wanting it gone either, obviously. But it's still just fanart at the end of the day. Disney was especially atrocious over NSFW stuff too. It went as well as you'd expect for the company.

Yes but how long this image hasn't been fully debunked yet is impressive

I think it's more a "nobody really cares" thing rather than a "we can't debunk it" thing

Like, debunking the whole Mallow thing doesn't really do much, even in the short term. All debunking it does is prove that modding Mii costumes is possible to the point where you can't tell fan-made from Nintendo-made which just opens another can-of-worms on a similar level to "Do Spirits disconfirm?" that people can exploit for laughs.

Yup, I see where you're coming from. It's a mess to be honest, specially with the company's overreaction. But I guess it's typical corporate stuff. And I mean, the thing is that they're in the right to do that because it's people using their IP (even in fanart), but like you said, fanart/fanfics are a way to show how beloved a game or other is, nothing more, it's not directly competing with them.

It would be such a wild twist if we see no Geno Costume but we get the mallow hat and it’s identical to the leak.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

To me, CacoMallow was fake as soon as Nintendo ignored it. They do not ignore video leaks like that. They shut it down if it's real. Mods they sometimes ignore. I at first thought they didn't always care, but then they went after a website for not having enough security, which leaked tons of beta stuff, so. Yeah, they care that damn much.

This is probably before parody law was as heavily figured out. I don't think it's what caused the law to be more updated, though?

And yeah, I get what you mean. When your IP is being used in weird ways you don't like, of course you want to do something.

Nintendo even hated the gameshark so much they updated their EULA that made Wii modding in general illegal. Now, I'll give 'em slight credit. A problem is online cheating, not offline, and they know that could cause bugs or issues for other players too. That would open up a far bigger can of worms than somebody ruining their own system. I agree with them on that. If people would keep the cheating to offline, that'd be different. That's not to say we haven't had cool online mods. I forget what game was created because of that. Command & Conquer I think? So it can lead to good things too. But that's... rare.

I mean maybe, but like Nintendo randomly took down a Kos-MOs mod for no reason.

Aand costumes are pretty easy to write off considering Nintendo knows anyone could mod them in, so if it is real, why bother taking it down and confirming two big characters?

At the end of the day I don’t think humans actually strike these types of videos but an algorithm that doesn’t always work right.

That's not realistic. They don't really care if it confirms something or not. Otherwise they'd constantly ignore any online leak. They take them down because it breaks the NDA and should not be up. Mods are more iffy legally nor have any stigma attached to them, so it doesn't matter if they take them down or not in general.

Keep in mind NDA's actually matter to them because if something breaks it, they found a non-trustworthy employee and they want to get them fired. There's even a rumor they fired the Ken leaker too. Which was just an image, not actual video gameplay. They've been massively cracking down on leaks for a vast while now. There's no way they'd ignore a costume leak like that. Never mind you also have other companies who'd care. Square-Enix and Betheseda ignoring it too? No. That's not happening. It was ignored hard because it was a mod. This is a case where there was no chance it could be real. They confirmed already that leaks in general are a pretty big deal if they're video ones. Also keep in mind people rarely throw video leaks on Youtube, where Nintendo sees it. That's the only reason they don't often get taken down. Besides that, all those beta leaks seem to be a different situation. It's not for an upcoming game, but old unreleased content. They went after the website, but ignored Youtube.

Beyond that, video leaks of upcoming content can also affect sales. Since people can decide far too early whether they should buy the content or not. For a company, they want it unveiled in their own way, to maximize all possible sales. Especially since presenting them is done in its own fashion. Whether it could be because of exciting music to hype people, a very good announcer, or any other thing that makes the presentation very nice. Context matters for how things are shown off. Another is that third party companies have made agreements in how to present their content too. If somebody breaks an NDA, it makes the company look less trustworthy too, since they aren't holding up to the agreement that was made with negotiations.

Basically put, leaks are bad most definitely. And Nintendo quite clearly does everything in their power to kill them(again, for upcoming content in particular). They have lots of good reasons.

[Deleted member]

To try and get myself to relax a Little, I could talk about some Mii costumes I would like to see tomorrow:

Spoiler: Tifa

I seriously want to play as PS1 Tifa just for some laughs with Friends. They already made Creeper and Minecraft Pig Mii costumes, so It wouldn't be farfetched

Spoiler: Barret

Same as Tifa, and obviously for Mii gunner

Chocobo Hat because It is the Chocobo

Spoiler: And the most pipe dream of my wants: Alex Kidd

I'm not giving Up on It yet, and while he could come with a possible SEGA character in the past... It would be really cool if they added the costume earlier

That would be It for my wanted Mii costumes for Sephiroth

Heard a lot of great things about It, but hopefully It does lead up to the hype as No More Heroes 1 does.
