Can we petition nintendo for this?

[Budget Player Cadet_]

Gecko as a channel in the wii.

If nintendo saw it as something that enough of a fanbase wanted, it would not be hard at all for them to put something like gecko or ocarina into the wii so that we wouldn't have to hack it. So could we, potentially, petition for it?

 

[cuckoos]

They wouldn't give in to a petition. You can't petition something Nintendo does not approve of. It's kinda like starting a petition for Action Replay, They won't give in.

I think that it's a very bad idea, as Nintendo would most likely make us pay for it, and would update a lot making it so most hacks don't work, only certain ones. And they'd make an update for the Wii probably making all the ones we have installed through homebrew utterly worthless.

Go ahead and petition all you like. Leave me out.

Yes, Nintendo will suddenly have a change of heart and make an official channel for something they've been going out of their way to stop at all costs.

It won't happen.

Nintendo releasing a hack channel is unlikely.

It'd be like giving you the basics for Brawl, and telling you to make the character actions, and stats yourself, add whatever music you want, and whatever textures you want.

They were against it? I thought they were just against the HBC, above all because of what it allowed them to do (such as play cracked games and wipe the OS).

But including a channel specifically for SD codes. Why is nintendo against that?

Nintendo has hated hacking since the Game Genie. When they couldn't sue them out of existence, they just tried making future games unhackable to Game Genie.

Even when the creators opted to allow Nintendo to get some of the profits by approving it like Sega did, Ninty said "NO!".

They will have nothing to do with hacks. Even when it's legal, they despise hacks.

Oh... -____-

Fail then. Sorry.

>_> Lol...and GeckoOS can load burned games.

I don't think it would work, 'cause, you see, nintendo recently has been made up of people that will do most anything for money, and not necessarily for the hardcore fanbase (hence all of the nintendo hate out there at the moment.) Also, they are a little sensitive when it comes to hacking, and refuse to realize that a hackable game means more sales. I find it both frustrating AND funny.

EDIT: what metaXzero said

Not only that but imagine MKWii or Conduit online if everyone had the ability to use Gecko.......

 

[GPEternity]

would be more worth the effort to petition nintendo to make an official Brawl+ with extensive character balancing changes.

 

[[TSON]]

It's not possible at all without rereleasing Brawl which would be a bad idea as it would take away from the glory of SSB4.

Yeah, seriously not even remotely worth hoping that Nintendo would do such a thing.

I mean it's really an issue of control. Nintendo wants to control the way their games are experienced and the way their systems operate so that they can guarantee a particular customer and 3rd-party developer experience that they feel best represents their company.

Think of it this way:
Let's say that you have just finished developing some sort of epic masterpiece of a web-game. I mean this thing is a technical triumph toward which you have spent most of your time and energy over the last one to two years creating. As far as you are concerned, this game is a work of art.

Now imagine that a week or two later someone has made a number of easy graphic and text hacks to your work of art, and has re-released it under the name "**** Racer 5." Not only that, but they have still maintained your name on the development credits. So, now, instead of being known for making what might have been considered a gaming classic, you are instead known to many people as the guy who developed a game ostensibly about racing genetalia.

Personally, I'd be a little pissed.

Now this is in no way attempting to discredit or insult any of the incredibly remarkable work that has been done by the absolutely brilliant developers in this or any other gaming community. Instead, this is simply an attempt to express the sort of misrepresentation that can occur when the audience is given unlimited freedom (I mean, I'm sure we've all seen the people online in one game or another who simply find it impossible to be anything other than incredibly crass), and to illustrate how a developer might feel about edits to their work.

As with any post that I make, if you find this to be stupid or in anyway particularly disagreeable, please feel free to ignore it.

♪ Looking how the action replay is no longer playable on every system except for the DS, (not the DSi), I'll clam that every system is trying their best to get rid of hacking. Having the Wii not region free was a big mistake, 360's case is worst because you need to illegal hack your system to get region free games. †

 

[Kitamerby]

Brilliance.

Stick around. We need more guys like you.

for or against it, nintendo CANNOT accept, for legality issues : remember the first texture hackers that got pursued ? They were forced to pursue them because they made a Clad texture
Clad -> sony or whatever non-nintendo group -> they were in danger.

Their web host shut them down out of fear. Nintendo did nothing. Those were just some false rumors.
