Nintendo, what are you doing?
- Thank god they're protecting the privacy of this unmade game
- If they're doing this, then Heroes of Hyrule is actually being made!
Nintendo treating fans and folk trying to preserve game history like shit? Well looks like it must be a day that ends in Y.
lol. It's where my mind goes first when Nintendo pulls this crap. 😓
I remember a Metroid II fan remake being cancelled by Nintendo's request and a year later the official 3DS one was announced. Who knows.
Fuck them.
Once again, the gigantic leak of old beta stuff that leaked few years ago is the most interesting thing that came out from this company since BOTW.

To be honest, I am a little surprised. I don't follow Nintendo closely, I know they protect music and emulation harshly.
Taking down a video of some people talking about a cancelled 20 year old project seems crazy.
I mean what's next, they'll start taking down podcasts talking about it?
But why though? It'd be one thing if it was a leak of an upcoming project, but a cancelled game? Fuck outta here Ninty.
Well, no ideia how those things work in case of a game that never even started development like that, but maybe some NDA got broken there.
Still, cat is already out of the bag, why bother with this now? Even if by some remote chance the game is actually being made, I don't see how this would affect it, if anything, it's bringing more attention to it.

So was it Nintendo or one of those IP protection companies that got overzealous on their behalf? Not that it would shock me that it's Nintendo, but this happens so often from those firms and not the companies themselves.
I don't necessarily agree with Nintendo taking down the video. Especially since this isn't exactly revelatory.
Does DYKG still steal their footage though? By their, I mean smaller youtubers.

Even during their lowest period, the Wii U era, they were doing stuff like this, like issuing take down of videos with content from the official Mario themed Minecraft expansion.

To likely get blasted and set a really ugly precedent going forward? Yeah nobody wants to fight things like this in court.
Big companies get taken to court all the time. I don't know if image conscious Nintendo would want a long drawn out court case but I would love to see it. They are objectively too heavy handed.
Nintendo has consistently been just as litigious and overzealous about protecting their IPs since the 80s. This is nothing new.
Remember the Super NES Mini? Well, there was an official companion book which contained unused content of Super Mario World, stuff that was published on TCRF.
They're against emulators too, but if it wasn't for the strides made in emulation, Virtual Console wouldn't even been a thing - maybe even the whole retro rivival even, since it popularized it.

Pretty sure they have always done stuff like this no matter the situation
Hell will freeze over long before any corporate leader on Earth would ever agree that leaked internal documentation is harmless.
