One more time Nintendo has proven that he likes to have the last word, right or wrong, because this already seems to be just one more episode of what many seem to be tantrums from the company, which has decided that nothing and no one can use its content, even Even if they don’t use it either.
You may remember that last week we told you about a great book that showed some strategies to play mario brosin its version Super Mario 64said book released in 1996, which was full of incredible dioramas and models that showed children (and adults), to improve their attack strategies during some of their most difficult missions.
That interesting old book, called Super Mario 64 Complete Clear Guide Bookwhich was made by its creator Shigeru Miyamoto and his team, where he told us that through interviews conducted by Kotaku, how important it was for him and many of the players to better understand and appreciate his work and that we had the opportunity to show you some images while we told you that they existed several scanned copies that were for sale on the internet, well, that’s a thing of the past.
That volume, released in Japan right at the same time as the game, you’ll see the problem was just that, which was released solely and exclusively in Japan, so it was never available on this side of the planet, or anywhere else, so, hasn’t been commercially available for decades and the only way he could buy a copy, if he had the cash, was to spend a hefty sum on a scanned copy through resale at eBay or yahooso that Nintendo He said “no more”, that if they didn’t see a dime, no one else would.
So now, all the fans of Mario and Nintendothey won’t have any way of getting it, since those scans were high-quality uploaded to the public domain either (originally), and to some extent, they were preserving the book’s content and making it accessible to the public long after the opportunity had disappeared. to buy the book directly.
But Nintendo of Americaagain decided, and just today sent a takedown notice Internet Archivewhere the scans were housed, which then passed it to the scan loader, Comfort Food Video Gamesmaking the extinction of this book imminent.
