Ian Boudreau: One thing about Nintendo is that it kind of famously values its brand and intellectual property

One thing about Nintendo is that it kind of famously values its brand and intellectual property

Nintendo says it will not use generative-AI, preferring to create stuff that is "unique to" them and to avoid copyrighted material used by gen-AI: gameworldobserver.com/2024/07/03/n...

I can just imagine Shigeru Miyamoto seeing a couple Shrimp Jesuses and letting everyone know right then that thing was never getting in spitting distance of Mario

It's good when a father protects his son.

"Mario might put on a hat that allows him to become Shrimp Chri-" "No."

I always come back to the company being founded in the 19th century. They are a toy company in their video game phase.

they gave Philips some rights once and NEVER AGAIN

They don't even trust most *actual* intelligence with their stuff. They probably saw what all of us did to Mario's face on the opening screen of Mario 64.

yep, and their response sounds like a not-so-veiled threat to these AI corps, even

Thankfully

Would be nice to see some others take note

Nobody ever really follows Nintendo's lead until way late in the game.

Yes. Watching Ubisoft fully embrace it was a low blow.

just ask anyone who played Another Metroid 2 Remake

It's amazing that Nintendo of all the companies on this planet is probably the most scrupulous and good.

It's refreshing to hear this (Nintendo eschewing AI).

It’s almost like they know what they’re doing.

This is where 80% of my gaming dollars go and for many good reasons.

They saw Philips do some awful garbage and were like "never again", and I respect them for that
