The Biggest Controversy from EVERY Nintendo Series

Nintendo is a company that aims to quote put smiles on the faces of everyone we touch and after billions of sales in the video game Market I think it's fair to say they've done that this is a brand most often associated with fun excitement togetherness Nostalgia and just the best of Vibes but also racism censorship injuries to yourself and your television and worst of all because it doesn't matter what kind of company you are you don't make it this far without suffering your fair share of public ordeals this has always been fascinating to me how a company with such wholesome intentions can really cause a stir so today let's review the biggest controversies from every Nintendo franchise ever and by every I mean mostly the the modern ones basically everything covered in Smash and a bit more I would love to talk about the little guys but sorry you golden sun stands Isaac isn't as problematic as you'd like him to be and as far as where we start with this one yeah that's that's what I was going to do anyway I don't think it's a far reach to say that Mario is the face of Nintendo the two go hand in hand he's the iconic mascot from Italy who's a plumber he he plums and he runs and he jumps and he falls and says unless we're talking about the new voice of Mario where he says Mario's been in a lot of public spats but a big one from pretty recent memory was the Mario Odyssey box art anything looks strange about this to you well that's cuz it's not the real box art this is and as you'll see the only thing changed was this image in the corner yeah the first version was revealed in June of 2017 but the theory goes that Nintendo ended up switching to the second version in August after being called out for racism and cultural appropriation by Twitter users but mostly at the center a specific Ubisoft developer this phenomenon came to be known as Mexican Mario and ironically enough it seemed the Hispanic community was a majority supportive and thrilled about the representation I mean let's not forget that when it comes to quote stereotypes Mario himself is basically just that for Italy but others think that Nintendo changed the box art for aesthetic or marketing reasons as nothing was done about the actual stuff in the game and by the time it came out most people had forgotten about this in the wake of one of Mario's best titles if you ask me oh hold on all rise judge voyen presiding on the right side of History Nintendo never did anything wrong here they didn't need to change the cover and even though doing so wouldn't cost them anything it's funny that such a small crowd of disgruntled Twitter users could allegedly Force Nintendo's hand because such was not the case 3 years later with Mario 3D Allstar this game suffered multiple layers of criticism whether it was the price the effort The Games People felt were left out the removal of long traditional customs [Music] and on top of all that epic Pro consumer Nintendo made it only available for 6 months as a limited time special for Mario's 35th Anniversary this didn't sit well with people and there was so much back and forth about it like for months with way more outcry than Mario Odyssey boxart but Nintendo stood their ground using Doug Bowser as a shield and the game vanished from the eShop on March 31st 2021 and like a year later from shelves in store how about the time Nintendo accidentally treated out wigger Wednesday how about the time they bought the adult film parody uh Super hornio Brothers you know starring King pooper Luigi Bob and Spiderwoman or when Peta released the Mario kills Tanuki Flash game to siphon attention from Mario 3D Land yeah Peta does this often and we'll probably discuss them again later but to commemorate the launch of Mario 3D Land featuring The Return of the Tanuki suit PETA launched a same day campaign including a flash game and video about why Mario wearing a Tanuki suit is pro fur and uh the goal was to draw attention to the abuse of the raccoon dog which in their defense is an awful situation anyway Nintendo responded Peta said it was a joke and the Flash game can still be played today but I ain't showing it these are just a few of my favorites because really the Mario controversy umbrella is so big that we could never cover all of them not in a single Mario category anyway that's why I made like eight Subs so let's move on to the next one cuz it's affected me personally how many of you have played the original Mario Party and how long did it take you to figure out that it was not a party at all but instead a ruthless blood bath against your friends well with a few specific mini games it was quite literally that the one most often remembered is Tug of- warar where the goal is to win a tug-of-war match by rotating the controller's joystick faster than the other team or player cuz this is a 1 versus 3 Min game and kids quickly figured out the easiest way to do this was not to use your thumb as intended but the palm of your hand this allows for a more Swift and precise rotation the problem here is that with the rigid sensitive surface of the analog stick you've practically created a drill and yeah you see the issue even with the glove it hurts this doesn't feel good at all bad for my hand this is this is not okay get Pok son this really does hurt I could like start a fire on it's hot my hand is hot it's dark in hell is H I think it hurts more than adult now call it a well a blister for me it was a straight up hole but so many kids injured themselves by doing this that it led to an expensive lawsuit and Nintendo giving out these gloves they wanted kids to wear when playing Mario Party growing up with this game I honestly don't know a single person who we played with who didn't try this at least once it was like a badge of honor get the huge gash and then immediately break out ice water to put their entire hand into and that's that's just how we learned back in my day kids and also I ended up beating the other three people so you know what it was totally worth it you'd think after such intense legal action Nintendo would want to stay away from this miname but they later ended up bringing it back twice first to the 3DS which okay fine I don't think the circle pad is capable of causing injury but again on the switch where they included a disclaimer in Mario Party Superstars bold risk at the same time like how could you not it's such an important cultural piece of Mario Party history unlike free updates yeah let's get this out of the way super quick since the switch really since the 3DS almost every Mario sports game has suffered a drastic drop in quality mostly due to free updates enabling unfinished launches Everyone is always whining about it me included we've got like four videos talking about it on the channel and I intend to stay toxic about this until we get a good one so long story short pray for Mario baseball and play Mario Golf World to T Mario Kart has strangely lived most of its life outside any sort of public meltdown which is pretty cool and just a big display of how beloved all these games are I mean sure people can be a little divided on some of them but like is there a bad Mario Kart no because they're all good quality titles they're all yeah I guess you're right unsurprisingly bringing your series to a mobile platform exposed some greedy under dealings because Mario Kart tour is no stranger to the very cheered on and Noble Peace Prize winning feature that is loot boxes whereby spending in-game currency you can receive special items from the spotlight pipe and you can also pay us real money too yeah this one spells itself out Nintendo got sued in 2023 for promoting gambling to children and dude I don't even know how they got this far countries in Europe outlawed loot boxes literally years before this game even came out how can anyone not have guessed this is how things were going to go Nintendo must have because they got rid of the feature last year and replaced it with a shop I don't know dude this is just Nintendo's Battlefront 2 and also while we're here Universal put a size limit on their Mario Kart ride and people were justifiably upset okay I think the Mario Kart lawsuit has solid grounds to stand on but when it comes to the Paper Mario lawsuit things get a little bit more bizarre in 2008 Morgan Creek Productions attempted to sue Nintendo for using the song you're so cool he's so cool in a Thousand-Year Door commercial they claimed that Nintendo had used the music without permission but after only 6 days the suit was suddenly dropped when questioned about why they abandoned it the Productions company had nothing to say Nintendo on the other hand simply said that their advertisers Leo Bernett provided the company with a license they did in fact have to play the song basically the company jumped the gun on legal action without really doing their research first and lost money and dignity in the process embarrassing so so from here I want to move to two Mario subseries that are actually pretty clean the first is Wario and Warrior wear funny enough the games featuring a money grubbing self-centered anti-hero haven't really been super involved in anything there was one small controversy about misheard lyrics with Ashley's theme on morio Weare touched it ended up all being bogus and in my opinion isn't worth the legitimization that is talking about it at length in a YouTube video then Yoshi Yoshi also hasn't really ever been problematic there was one instance where a flash game made by the EPA used Yoshi's Island DS music without asking and it went unnoticed for years which is kind of funny since this is government sponsored Nintendo called them out on it in 2019 they removed it in all as well beyond that Yoshi is pretty much clean although I hear he's a bit of a tax evader however in the Mario crew there is one member that is responsible for one of Nintendo's biggest legal battles I'm talking about a conflict so threatening it could have destroyed the company and that member is oh my God this company made a monkey that causes Havoc from the top of a big structure and then this company also made a monkey that causes Havoc from the top of a big structure while kidnapping a girl those plagiarist scum in the early 80s Universal Studios who own the rights to King Kong attempted to sue Nintendo over similarities with their Donkey Kong this was well before the days of Nintendo being big money universa wasn't established corporate Giant and Nintendo was a baby on the shores of Washington meaning it wasn't just a terribly one-sided matchup losing this lawsuit could have easily toppled Nintendo but because Nintendo's legal team was able to find an earlier claim of universals that King Kong was public domain they therefore asserted that Universal never had any rights to King Kong themselves AKA because we save that legal jargon for Ace Attorney Universal was being hypocritical with the King Kong name using it to benefit themselves and put down others Nintendo counter sued for damages one defeated some appeals and went on to make Donkey Kong his own Great Character as he always had been and years later the two eventually made up in time for movie distribution and a theme park and doing whatever else billion dooll companies do after school this is one of my favorites because person oh sorry judge voyen part two nowadays it's kind of wild to look back on this story where Nintendo was defending themselves as the little guy because almost every move they make today seems like some big company [ __ ] and as we finally close out this Mario category I want to remind you that there's a lot of non-series specific Nintendo controversies that just go to show you how alienated they are from this identity in the'80s they were fighting for their life nowadays they are fighting everyone like we are trying to take their life no Nintendo I just want to listen to the heart gold OST on YouTube jeez speaking of Pokémon we should probably talk about the batshit insane reception of scarlet and violet where everyone was quick to discover loads of bugs and no wait a minute I've got the wrong game what was the one that came out before it it was like um oh okay hold on here we go brilliant diamond and Shining Pearl skipping out on Platinum content and resorting to chibi models was the worst way to remake no no no it's not that it's um right okay sword and shield Graphics served as proof to many fans that game freak was beh [ __ ] no it was the it was the one before that let's go Eevee and pikach Pander too [Music] much it really shouldn't be shocking that the most controversial games in a series produce the most uh I mean controversy and with Fire Emblem Fates was definitely going to suffer that fate I'm logging off after Awakening brought the series into a Resurgence there was a lot of hype going into the next entury but Fire Emblem Fates took a fusion approach of being Pokémon in Shin magami tensei where it had several versions and they were based on a choice made early in the game you could join the birth family the Foster family or deny both and each of these would lead to a different $40 MSRP 3DS game that in itself was already causing issues especially after Nintendo decided to make a 3 in-1 version of the game as a limited edition for 80 bucks but then just a couple weeks before the game was out came reports of sens oops sorry localization this was the removal of certain aspects of the game deemed to cause conf Fusion or offense in the west and it was [Music] this oh no the war game won't let me pet my wife damn if people acted at the time like this was going to kill Fire Emblem Fates no [ __ ] Fire Emblem Fates was going to kill Fire Emblem Fates simultaneously I do legitimately understand why this can be so frustrating for the overseas Market Fire Emblem Fates completely rewrites some characters removes supports removes skins or rather covers them up oh yeah obligatory mention of the tharg curtain can't do controversies without putting a little curtain over it for the Americans right but call it what you want censorship localization bimbo ification it can suck when the game is modified like this especially considering Nintendo did it as recently as this year with fire emblem engage but 3 months before Fire Emblem Fates was suffering Regional changes it was Xenoblade with Xenoblade Chronicles X this game was covered in controversy for a while as well fans were upset about the faces the music the data packs and Nintendo altered it quite a bit for its Western release changing a few things but it was the removal of the boob slider that really did it and also have you ever said the word boob slider out loud that's fun as hell anyway from here we could talk about Nintendo xack had Allison rap and how the boobs slider controversy grew into a far bigger one but this is the Xenoblade topic and we instead should focus on how the complaints of no boobs slider may have led to a 180 reversal in the series next biggest controversy which [Music] was theia allow me to take your life and enchanting as [Music] possible we'll be great together I do declare so this Southern ice rabbit Woman sword here is one of the possible blades you can get in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and back around launch an image of Dalia blew Twitter up sparking the unending debate of where people land on Xenoblade 2's character designs and sexual content in general I mean I certainly see where people are coming from she looks okay just her face but then the more you scroll down it's just like there's since been reports about the image being glitched mainly just her back I don't know if this is real I don't know if anything is real anymore but I do know that if you simply look through some of the blade designs in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 there was always going to be at least one I say this as someone who loves the game holy and can we talk about the time Nintendo tried to sell the Xenoblade 3 special edition exclusively on there no let's move on Pikman this is actually a pretty clean series the most in-arms fans got was back during the Wii U drought when Nintendo came out of nowhere and was like yeah Pikmin 4 is basically finished and then fast forward 8 years into a it's not a lie if it's event the truth narrative Pikman 4 is such a good game it shut everybody right up because damn could you see how they spent that time to make the best possible game Kirby is also a relatively clean set of games true to his wholesome adorable image if we wanted to grasp at straws I could talk about the machine gun scene in the anime that four kids cut out from the American broadcast which is funny because Nintendo of America worked for years to make the Kirby box art in commercials more aggressive and a scene of Kirby firing an automatic would have been icing on the cake but no four kids does this all the time and also I'm trying to keep to content based in video games with this list the Wii series ah now this is a fun one a tale is Old As Time itself about we owners being way too excited to try out their new console and ignoring the very first sentence that the game presents you with hand last2 is it wo but after the funny YouTube videos of people destroying their own property first lawsuits second Nintendo overemphasizing the strap in every future release and third designing the bowling ball controls in switch Sports to have you hold on to the joycon when releasing the ball thus to avoid controller flight as much as possible and speaking of switch Sports which isn't in the wiii series but in the Nintendo Sports series uh [ __ ] that game this is another controversy I'm part of and that many of you know me for criticizing the dumb avatars the free updates the online model the game could have been legendary it's obviously famous for the wrong reasons but I have to set that aside for now because there's another game in the Wii series that took some shots and it's we fit wait a minute script are you sure it's not the god awul Wii music or the terrible attempt at Wii Sports HD how could the title that started the trend of Fitness gaming caus any backlash whatsoever oh so you mean it's just it's just it's it's Fitness in general uh so it turns out they called a 10-year-old girl obese uh we fit the original body shamer kids these days have Instagram and Tik Tok to make them feel bad about how they look they'll never know what it was like to drop $90 on some Cutting Edge Nintendo technology to tell them they're out of shape especially when if they really wanted to get all buff and such all they had to do was wait a year so they could buy for how I iconic punch out is it sure is not doing anything the last game came out almost 15 years ago and the series has had basically nothing but Smash and re-releases since then which sucks because the Wii entry is a great game that you can play with motion controls and get extremely sore doing the switch would be perfect if not for a sequel just a port but why hasn't Nintendo done that no go ahead and guess because when I tell you it's racism oh my God voen what let me introduce you to some of the opponents in pun punch out this is glass Joe the first character you fight he's very small compared to everyone else and goes down rather easy not before saying soda Pinsky from Russia who constantly drinks soda Von Kaiser who's the strict military dude in suspenders from Germany Bear Hugger who resembles a lumberjack and drinks maple syrup from Canada Super Macho Man the very tan self-obsessed boxer from Hollywood and and Donkey Kong so yeah the game plays on stereotypes which range from solidly existing in the Wii version to pretty much straight racism the further you go back it's something people AR obviously generally aware of and I believe if given the shine of today the controversy would be much deeper we open the video with a story about Mario getting called out for cultural appropriation I don't even want to think about how people would react to this and neither does Nintendo which is probably why the series is on hiatus but honestly if you can look past it all you have a great game that is just as challenging as it is funny because punch out has the best character ever doc Lewis dock this [Applause] one moving into our next giant series with the Legend of Zelda 20 games across 37 years there is so much going on so let's get the big boys right out of the way number one the Skyward Sword demo from e3210 that was a disaster see this okay so here I have to cut vertically number two acarina of times Islamic references in the OG version of the game number three weapon durability number four female link number five the Zelda cycle all right let's leave it at that cuz now I want to go to my favorite place on the internet the official Zelda [ __ ] thread from 2001 this is a time capsule of the general internet reaction to the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker shortly after its beta footage was released most people know this story by now but after two great N64 games and a demo showing what a GameCube Zelda could look like we were shown what the GameCube Zelda would look like and people found this new art style revolting I remember my eldest brother specifically slamming this new entry which shocked me as a kid because he was the one who introduced us to Zelda and as you can see in the thread he was not alone I think I'm going to cry yeah Nintendo good to see you making more mature games now stylish link looks like a 2-year-old freak this sucks that is a disgrace to the Zelda franchise I don't don't know if I'm a Nintendo fan anymore all my hopes were on a mature Zelda that would surpass every game and kill any Xbox [ __ ] and P2 titles but after seeing that Zelda video I punched my monitor and said why Nintendo why I'm deeply reconsidering my purchase of the cube now considering another Bumble of a move on Nintendo's part Final Fantasy 10 is looking better each day oh my God the Wind Waker backlash was so huge it would influence Zelda for the next 4 years and basically become the reason for Twilight Princess and if you think the arguments died once the game came out I mean yeah they kind of did it might look Kitty but only one Zelda game lets you stab Ganon dorf in the head wait wait hold on I built my channel on Animal Crossing can't we do this in like a more ceremonial way [Music] all right baby voyen is back ready to talk about Animal Crossing controversy I already basically did it in this video from like a year ago and every other time I bring up New Horizons but today I have come with a story about a person who did the unthinkable a player of Animal Crossing who crossed the animal Crossing and that person is the president of the United States funny thing about lockdown and living out your entire life through Animal Crossing uh there's no advertisements and back in 2020 companies began to notice this so they quickly put homies on contract to interact and Market within the game to therefore advertise the list is pretty fat H&M Ikea Helman Chuck-E-Cheese Gucci the Detroit Lions one of the more famous ones was KFC who created an entire island with a dream address and it looked okay but 2020 was also the year of a presidential election so it wasn't just advertising it was campaigning and Joe Biden wasn't going to be caught dead not having an island for all the all the um the the uh the bronies just a few weeks before election day the team behind Biden revealed his very own Island which also looks I mean it's it's very serviceable I personally believe I could have done a better job so maybe h me next time Mr Biden but there will not be a next time because someone wasn't impressed Nintendo releasing a statement a month later saying please refrain from bringing politics into the game or as a marketing platform that directs people to activities or campaigns outside the game as we all knew it was jover despite this his Island still stands a symbol of defiance against the 1984 practicing Nintendo maybe he can fight for reform against the star tree band this is another one we talked about recently too with the Federation Force video and basically all of Nintendo's actions from 2013 through 2016 the ton deaf announcement after Other M overly defensive interviews removing the fan-made Metroid 2 remake leading to boycott sales disasters and the most disliked video at the time which I won't bring all that up again go watch that video if you're curious but it was a rough few years for Metroid fans like it was rough last year for Advent Advance Wars fans aka me who had to suffer a year-long delay of the Remake due to similarities with real world events yeah basically a staple of the franchise FZ I I mean to have video game controversy you first need video games and f-zero has been on administrative leave for like two decades that's probably how it gets to its biggest scandals fans just wanting an answer they will literally do anything for an answer but no this series is also a majority clean give me something good give me something like oh hell yeah Bayonetta gets in about as much trouble as you would expect for a series about half naked women using guns to fight demons but not because of any of that stuff that's actually why people love the series they love its over-the-top stylish adrenaline triggering promiscuous nature so it should come as no surprise why everyone was confused when Bayonetta 2 was announced to be Nintendo exclusive and of all the times to be exclusive to the upcoming and ill-fated Wii U Back in 2012 Sega decided they were no longer interested in funding Bayonetta 2 but Nintendo looking to win back over their hardcore audience with their new console was so they teamed up with Platinum making the game an exclusive for the Wii U and the internet came with weapons specifically against themselves the big meme being that bayoneta fans were threatening to SD over the port it released in 2014 and everyone was fine although they never stopped asking I got to say that as a Wii U owner at the time this is like the best [ __ ] memory I have of that console Bayonetta 2 was the only time we got something everyone else wanted and for the rest of the Wii U lifespan it would be the other way around so while it sucks that the sequel couldn't go multiplat like the original did I ate up every second of this in the case of Bayonetta 3 not so much fast forward 10 years after the Bayonetta 2 debacle to just a couple of weeks before it SE sequel is out and of all the people a problem could arise with it is not the fans it is not the Publishing Company nor the developers but instead bayonetta's voice actress Helena Taylor who took to Twitter to announce that she would not be returning to the series after Platinum offered her a trivial $4,000 to reprise her role everyone was pissed [ __ ] Platinum Games [ __ ] Bayonetta 3 [ __ ] keki Kya who shut down his Twitter account and all of this and it was all so believable a big company treating their talent like they're worth way less but then after several sources close to platinum started arguments against Helen a story it slightly changed which is always a great sign she admitted she was first offered 10 grand and after rejecting that 15 grand but she denied it because she thought she was owed more for a $450 million franchise not I don't what anyway after after that equation Platinum still wanted her to have a presence in the game and offered her the $4,000 for a cameo she did not take it she instead went and lied on the internet that the execs offered her dirt and called for a boycott of Bayonetta 3 ironically destroying her career in the process and inadvertently creating so much Buzz for the game she wanted to abolish at the same time as the ongoing actor strike I don't really want to say the company was in the right and that this was basically all Helena's fault but yeah this was pretty much entirely her fault Platinum did nothing wrong in fact teki Kamya offering her more money and then a simple Cameo is actually a very nice gesture and for Helena to not only lie about this situation but not apologize and then also call for a boycott I can't see how she doesn't deserve her fall I feel like a [ __ ] celebrity in this town so going into this I was like what what what did they do Nintendogs is a wholesome game it cannot sin it cannot upset like dude even Peta likes it how did Nintendogs cause any sort of drama the answer is some [ __ ] in 2010 a 9-year-old girl named Megan was playing nintend dogs at a friend's house when she was attacked by their bull mastiff Megan was dragged off the couch where the dog began biting her face eventually tearing off her lip why well her grandmother told Outlets that the dog heard barking from the DS game and that triggered him she said I think this game should carry some kind of warning people should be told not to play it when there are dogs in the room I blame the dog for what happened to Megan if they hadn't been playing it I don't think the dog would have gone for her no grandma you've got it all wrong it's the electricity's fault if it hadn't charged the DS she wouldn't have played it and the dog wouldn't have attacked meanwhile the dog's actual owner gave the extended statement to the police of Megan may have kicked the dog who knows what made the dog attack but you know what it's probably like 99% Nintendo's fault just saying Nintendo you really need to bump the rating up to AO next time and on the topic of games that can do no wrong tomadachi life doesn't allow same seex relationships in the Japanese version players could exploit a glitch to marry the same Sexes but that glitch was patched when it came time for the Western release and honestly while that was kind of shitty given that it was a decade ago and originally Japanese I don't think it would have been as big of a deal but then after fan backlash Nintendo opened their mouth as to why they were going to be homophobic quote Nintendo never intended to make any form of social commentary with the launch of tomadachi life we hope that all of our fans will see that tomadachi life was intended to be a Whimsical and quirky game and that we were absolutely not trying to provide social commentary this led to a far more heated backlash to which they released a second statement plenty more apologetic and vowed that tomadachi like would have more inclusive options in the next game and I don't even need to write the joke on that one but at least they affirmed that in the future they would not dismiss the lgbtq and I suppose that's still a victory in and of itself Splatoon oh jeez I'm not even going to act like I know anything about Splatoon hold on one sec hey what's up hey uh do you know anything about Splatoon controversy well voen there was that one time when Splatoon created a controversy from another Nintendo controversy which is what we call in the industry a controverse agami back during the dark Co era you couldn't really hold in-person Super Smash BRS melee tournaments since the official version of melee is only on the GameCube Gamers came together and decided to use the online software slippy and do the tournaments online and as always Nintendo did what Nintendo does and said n you're not going to do that fans trended the # free melee in order to spread awareness and Splatoon found itself in the crossfire during the Splatoon 2 North American open 30% of the top teams competing had names referencing smash melee and you probably know what happened here Nintendo said n and canceled the live stream of the events finals in light of the cancellation players then threw their own tournament and had one of the largest prize pools in Western Splatoon history and record-breaking viewer counts in support of the tournament all in all power to the gamers bad Nintendo and back to you voyen uh what something about free melee wow what a shocker the game about fighting has caused some fighting get it cuz you can't even call it a fighting game with oh man I love this fan base yeah the free melee stuff was pretty big mostly cuz how much Nintendo loves to act like the competitive melee scene isn't real until the minute emulation is discussed but honestly we've had Nintendo as the antagonist for quite a bit now I'm ready for a shake up let's go back to the time when it was the fans who wronged Nintendo being that each new game is always filled with new characters stages and other stuff Everyone is always anxious to know what's going to be included resulting in the elite culture that plagues Nintendo it can be completely fake and almost always is or you might get something like ultimate Grinch leaks or melee Sonic rumor that are much more convincing or it can be totally real like in the case of the 24 14 ESRB leak alongside Super Smash Bros for 3DS the weight and leadup to smash 4 was a huge deal six long years and to make it all but a month beforehand when these images and videos were uploaded by an alleged ESRB employee that was both really hype but also [ __ ] sucked speculation was non-existent it looked far too real only made worse when Nintendo started surprise taking the videos down with it all but confirmed those small fleeting seconds of hype were quickly replaced by anger and anger about the leaks anger about the characters revealed in the leaks no Ice Climbers but dark pit what the [ __ ] it spread like wildfire on social media and you couldn't escape it even if you were trying to I'm pretty sure this is the reason Nintendo wanted to reveal all the characters of ultimate before it released so no one could take that from them again and that's also the reason they fired and prosecuted the dude who did it so yeah smash players known for not showering dramatic rage quitting and apparently infringement uh as well as trying to get some cupcakes dude what the [ __ ] Star Fox is a series no joke where all but like two games in the whole thing have caused receptive controversy most of the time it's just debating if the game is good or not so I don't really count it but there was that time when Star Fox 2 came out in 2017 and IGN reviewed it like it was made in 2017 that was kind of funny then kidicarus kidicarus pretty much clean although there is one interesting debate that's continued for over a decade now I think most people would say that Uprising is the series Magnum Opus and I agree it is in fact a certified Banger with horrendous controls this was the uniform complaint after the game launch that the controls either felt too slippery too hand crampy too busy but others have asserted that there's nothing wrong with them including Creator Masahiro Sakurai it's been a tiny argument within the fan base for years I'm in the camp of it's really weird for like the first couple hours then you get used to it and most of the complaints could be fixed with a circle pad Pro but a circle pad Pro could not fix your brain and neither would Brain Age look at the front cover of this game train your brain in minutes a day so that was a [ __ ] lie neuroscientists have actually performed studies and they have found that the game might not actually be as cognitively beneficial as it advertises that's what I've been telling you people play Professor Leighton you think Flash Focus improves your eyes you think my stops smoking Co uhoh [Music] well guys I wanted to save the best for last the Mother series while meant to be a silly light-hearted set of jrpgs playing off genre tropes is also very contentious risky pop culture references horrible marketing and development frustration but the biggest controversy comes in the form of why won't Nintendo give us the best goddamn game of all time listen we have done some terrible things here in the west but any to deserve withholding the Divine work that is Mother 3 no there's so much speculation on why but Gamers have largely given up on when which is what I'm going to send you home with a reminder that we shouldn't ask for the reasons Nintendo hasn't released the game but just for a release date and I think that's where we're going to call it [Music]
