Nintendo Hits YouTube Soundtrack Channel With A Staggering 1300 Copyright Strikes

Nintendo Hits YouTube Soundtrack Channel With 1300 Copyright Strikes (gamingbible.co.uk)

If there’s one thing that Nintendo has gained a reputation for in recent years, it’s their relentless copyright strikes. Whether it's fan-made game projects or music, the company really don’t take kindly to any breaches, and are often very quick to act in taking stuff down.


Well, in the last couple of days, they struck again, literally. Popular gaming music channel, GilvaSunner, got hit with a colossal amount of blocks on Saturday, and has seen over 1300 songs removed. The takedown includes the soundtracks for a load of Mario and Zelda games, like Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword.

This isn’t the first time that GilvaSunner has been hit with such a huge onslaught of strikes: “Let me clarify again that I do not monetise videos and do not profit from them. I do realise that doesn’t justify uploading the content,” they tweeted in December 2020. “I’m also not angry or surprised that Nintendo is doing this, but I do think it’s a bit disappointing there is hardly an alternative. If Nintendo thinks this is what needs to be done (to set an example), I will let them take down the channel. It is their content after all.”

Of course, Nintendo is definitely well within their rights to stop channels from posting their official game music, but as GilvaSunner and a number of Nintendo fans have pointed out, there’s not really many great alternatives for fans to listen to their music. There are no official Spotify uploads, and very few soundtracks have been individually sold (a number of Pokémon ones are available on Apple Music). So it would seem that they want everyone to listen to everything via Smash Bros. Ultimate’s music list.


Just recently, Nintendo also removed a fan game from the internet in which players could go around shooting Pokémon with guns, which I suppose really isn’t all that surprising given that they were using assets from the actual games, as well as blasting poor Pikachu into oblivion. Either way, they’re really not letting anything slip through the cracks lately. At this time, GilvaSunner hasn’t said whether or not they’ll be re-uploading the soundtracks, but this is no doubt bad news for anyone who had YouTube playlists full of their uploads - good luck sorting that out.


Bit stupid really. Half the fucking Switch's library is made up of retro games which no-one would have cared about if not for folk like GilvaSunner giving them exposure.

Game soundtracks are meant to be experienced in-game, not listening while you take a shit. If you cannot respect that, stay away from Nintendo and go back simping for w*stern shit. Last warning.

Listen, buckaroo. Nintendo isn't for random plebs. Nintendo music it meant to be enjoyed in-game, or on officially issued soundtrack discs. Please, I beg of you, stop being poor.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Are there real people that listen to this shit?

 

[Fedora Master]

Listen, buckaroo. Nintendo isn't for random plebs.

True, it's for little children and parents.

Listen, buttboy. Fuck off, fuck off. Non-gamer trash. You don't deserve to be alive at the same time Nintendo exists. Crispy we got a situation here, one of your Shoutnox chimpanzees has escaped and is confused how to interact with people not interested in Hitler.

I remember when the original SilvaGunner was banned. Bullshit! All those Final Fantasy soundtracks gone.

Nintendo, like all big companies, are a pack of thick-as-pig-shit numbnuts who don't seem to understand how anything works ever at all. People stumbling across your game's soundtrack means more people becoming interested in the game means more sales. Basic. Same corporation who briefly tried to ban Let's Plays (lmfao) so no surprise.

the music is sometimes good. their composers tend to have understanding of classic theory and counterpoint, which they then fuse with folk genres.. anyway it can be enjoyable in a way that most modern osts aren't

Exactly. Folk like SilvaGunner have essentially done fuckloads of groundwork for Nintendo, and helped give the Switch an audience who are interested in older games.

Nintendards are so blinkered though they'll excuse anything.

There are another 2200 requests. He's closing the channel on Friday.

Honestly, you have to be completely braindead to do anything related to Nintendo as a content creator at this point.
Running a channel focused (?) on Nintendo soundtracks is a bit like trying to organize a gay parade in rural Poland when it comes to levels of masochism.

Nintendo themselves are braindead to treat free PR the way that they do, of course, but their insanity is well known at this point, nothing to be done about it.

Whilst I don't disagree, his first vids were uploaded 11 years ago. So whilst Nintendo have always had that cuntish streak, you also can't blame someone for starting something in 2010 and not predicting how things would pan out.

It's one of the biggest acts of bellendism I've known in recent years tbh. Just pure spiteful childishness which could have been sorted more amicably, and more beneficially, to all parties.

 

[Narushima]

Let me clarify again that I do not monetise videos

But I'm sure YouTube did.
Ergo, Nintendo should sue Google.

I just finished Fire Emblem 3 houses and i really recommend it. I also recommmend turning off the sound and play your own music instead.

I can't get the emulation to run well for it but it really is the only game for switch I'm interested in

Not worth starting a new thread for, but watched this for a laugh last night and it's been a while since being a superior PC player felt so unchallenged........



I know Nintentards are a special breed that will buy any old shit if you slap one of their icons on it, but it was almost as if Nintendo were trolling their own fans here (probably before they close their YouTube channels down)

The amount of remakes is pretty shocking, and one highlight was definitely the new Mario Kart DLC, which is composed of tracks from previous games which loyal fans will have already played to death. Genius.

It won't be long before said tards are paying for Nintendo to take away their shit, then buying it back off them.

 

[lightbane]

Yes, way too many remakes and sequels, but even these look better than many "modern" PC titles like Wrath of the Cringefinder. Front Mission 1 and 2 remake may be worth a look, for example.

My guess is that they're preparing to launch the Switch's successor and they don't want to commit too much to the current console. They've been doing this since the Game Cube days, the last years of a Nintendo console suck beyond belief.

That's because the GameCube was the GameCube and nothing really sold on it. On the other hand The Switch is coming up on PS4 numbers, and it took Steam's place as the big platform for indie titles. They aren't moving on from the Switch yet, Nintendo hasn't enjoyed this kind of success and been in the position they are now with a home console since the original NES. The Switch has also only been out for four years.

Nintendo will probably be running with the Switch in some form until 2026/2027. Nintendo is the only one that doesn't ever sell consoles at a loss, so when they do do some kind of Switch 2 or whatever and upgrade it into something more powerful they'll also need to be able to sell that Handheld Home Console combo at a profit and a price people will pay for it.

As is often the case, most are not, but some are good. Breath of the wild, metroid prime and mario galaxy 2 are games I can recommend.
