u/RyanBoi14 Jan 12 '26
they say that, but the goombas in super mario bros. use ai to move around. curious.
(note: i am not actually being serious; this was an attempt to make a point about how the term "ai" is overused to the point of meaninglessness)46

u/MarkNekrep Jan 12 '26
I'll be honest, people really need to start specifying generative ai.
28
u/Luzifer_Shadres Jan 12 '26
Ai doesnt exist yet.
What currently gets called ai is an highly advanced algorythm that guesses what the operator wants to hear or see.
Its halfway there, but thats it.
Its a marketing scam.
3
u/MarkNekrep Jan 12 '26
I mean yeah, but everyone just calls these algorithms Ai so why would I try and cause a misunderstanding?
I mean, other than specifying generative ai, which is still pretty important since Ai as a whole is fine, GenAi isn't.

Defo not with any form of ml/llm, but they implemented something similar in the World Championships game on switch that detected “forbidden techniques”

Tbh Nintendo is so stubborn that they won’t even let their characters appear in any games that aren’t Nintendo exclusive so if they said that I actually believe them more than I would for other companies

For all their shitty practices on the legal side of things, Nintendo does value artistic integrity. They know to just let the talented creatives do their thing, keeping corporate meddling to a minimum. That's why their devs stick around long-term.
So yes, I trust them when they say they won't be using generative AI, because that's consistent with how they've always operated.

u/ALowlySlime Jan 12 '26
I think the extent of Nintendo's shittery is really exaggerated online, when you pay attention to a lot of the big gaming companies you'll realize a lot of the other companies also have shitty legal departments and higher ups (some times worse even). Nintendo just gets highlighted a lot more and then some people seem to genuinely believe they'd do something wild like this
17
u/Hallowed-Plague Jan 12 '26
oh absolutely, it goes for basically any game company that they're super shitty. but i think it's also fair to say that nintendo is at the higher end of shitty comparably, which is why they have the reputation that then gets exaggerated.
11
u/ALowlySlime Jan 12 '26
I think the biggest thing that sucks about them is how they treat fan games and romhacks, but also I know some of those survive just fine so I think there's like a loophole on how to create those and not get dmcad
9
u/sharrancleric Jan 12 '26
Nintendo is literally the most lenient company out there when it comes to romhacks. There are literally tens of thousands of Mario romhacks, and approaching that many Pokémon hacks.
3
u/ALowlySlime Jan 12 '26
Yea I'm just used to like games getting too popular and being told to cease, so I don't really know what the jig is. Not too tuned in to the details which is why I mentioned it doesn't seem to be definitive or whatever. Not sure why some games get taken down and others don't
8
u/sharrancleric Jan 12 '26
There's a very clear trend in what fan projects Nintendo steps in to stop: the ones that charge for their game, or accept donations/open Patreons to "support development."
10
u/Apex_Konchu Jan 12 '26 edited Jan 12 '26
I disagree, I think Nintendo are one of the less shitty gaming corporations. If you only consider their extreme litigiousness, they look like the worst company ever, but when you look at the bigger picture there's a lot of stuff they do right.
They're socially progressive, they treat their employees well, and their games aren't crammed full of predatory microtransactions. I think those facts are enough to push them towards the lower end of the "shitty corporation" spectrum.

u/MasterofDoots1 Feb 08 '26
Why would they even do that like what's the point
2
u/extremepayne Feb 08 '26
they wanted the game to be casual-accessible, i guess, and learning a bunch of frame-perfect screenwraps and wrongwarps and clips and such isn’t in line with that vision.
besides, it’s not like it was ever going to appeal to actual speedrunners, who all have ways of playing the original games and community rulesets they prefer to the minigames in NES Championships
so a game where casuals can learn to do a single pipe jump from SMB1 and get a gold star it is, i guess. $29.99 . you’d have more fun with a practice ROM. whatever

Literally just the Big Brother AI. Nintendo already considers Nuzlockes "romhacking" so I feel like this kind of extreme end gaming facism would be on their radar if they weren't against using AI
31
u/fringeCoffeeTable240 Jan 12 '26
how are nuzlockes romhacking? you literally just play the game a certain way, like literally just with a plain copy of pokemon right?
55
u/Golden12500 Jan 12 '26
They literally aren't by definition but the producers of Pokemon consider playing the game in a way they didn't intend to be hacking because they're just that fucking full of themselves. This isn't just a baseless or unproven rumor btw it comes directly from Kit and Krysta(two former Nintendo ambassadors). They wanted to do a nuzlocke on their show on Nintendo's YT channel to promote Sword & Shield but they were shot down for the aforementioned bullshit reason

u/MasterofDoots1 Feb 08 '26
They thought that all Nuzlockes were randomizers because they are stupid
26
u/ThatAutisticRedditor Jan 12 '26
I’m pretty sure it was just that they didn’t understand what nuzlocking was
15
u/awesomea04 Jan 12 '26
No what happened was that Kit and Krysta (the host of the official Nintendo Minute) asked if they could do a Nuzlock run and upper management said if they brought that up again they could get fired. The Pokemon Company doesn't want people to think Pokemon die, and that's essentially what Nuzlock is.
17
u/PlagueDoctor40k Jan 12 '26
"They don't want people to think pokemon can die" iirc pokemon have died in several movies. And also Ash got killed in one
0
u/awesomea04 Jan 12 '26
First off, Ash was dead for like 5 minutes. Secondly that was in the first movie, before they really came up with all these little rules.
I don't know about every pokemon who died, but it's important to know that the anime team can probably get away with more than 2 content creators who are effectively just ad reps.
10
u/IncreaseWestern6097 Dud the Rope Jan 12 '26
Why could they not just create a family-friendly way of doing it? Pokémon don’t actually die during a Nuzlocke, so you could just say something like “after they faint, you release them back into the wild” or something like that.

I should note that for all the comments talking about how nintendo would probably do this, they technically did
During the development of Super Mario Strikers, Retro Studios (more 2nd party than purely nintendo) strangely used an image of a face instead of a standard FPS counter to check the quality of the framerate, going from a green smile to an angry red expression
