![]() ![]() ![]() Nintendo has proven itself thorough when it comes to copyright claims, but we doubt that even it will be able to nail this one down completely. With something like a collection of online scans, you can bet that this thing is already in circulation outside of the Internet Archive. On a more positive note, we'd wager that the cat is now out of the bag. The likelihood of Nintendo reissuing such a product - particularly outside of Japan - is incredibly slim when you consider the number of times Super Mario 64 has already been released on various platforms we daresay it's missed its chance. On the one hand, of course, the guide remains Nintendo's copyright and it has every right to defend it, but let's be honest here, it's been out of production for years at this point. This is obviously a disappointing turn of events, although not especially surprising if you're familiar with Nintendo's previous takedowns. In fact they’re actively hindering the cause." I’m a rookie to the video game preservation scene but I can’t think of anything more depressing than how it’s a bunch of hard working people spending their free time and money painstakingly archiving and preserving history while major corporations like Nintendo are doing nothing to help. All I wanted to do was spread my love of this incredible guide and to a larger extent my love for the company. Truthfully I think it helps Nintendo while only hurting the people selling this guide for literal hundreds of dollars. While I fully understand protecting one’s IP and copyrights I didn’t think I was hurting anyone by scanning and uploading a 27 year old guide that is extremely out of print.
