There was a special GC released in 2003 that did play DVDs, but it was Japanese only, did not play that many of them, and looked like shit.
GBA SP fixed that problem. This has always been a Nintendo problem: the first models are glorified prototypes. They did the same thing with og Gameboys, and so on with DS and 3DS.
For a moment I thought you were calling my Panasonic Q ugly. DVD playback you can criticize for sure, but that chrome-plated machine is a beauty built for trophy cases.
Angry Joe went nuts on Big N and called them out the most for it. He refused to buy any Nintendo games from now on after that event. It was one of the few times where he was completely in the right. Certain people (mostly blind Nintendo fans) called Joe childish for it, but I don't blame him. I remember somebody on the TV tropes dethroning moment of sub page, made a complaint about it. Joe had every right to voice hiss complaints and not join the membership. That's called strong arming content creators into doing whatever you want for petty reasons and taking their actual money. All they're doing is reviewing and promoting the game. Yet you punished them for not being part of your precious membership. You didn't even see EA or Activision pull crap off like that. If they pull that off, there would have been way more backlash and more criticism.
Nintendo got plenty of criticism for their Creator Program.
You would know if you bothered look at the patterns and the signs from past events. Yes, there was more criticisms from this particular situation on all sides, but they were still people trying to act like Nintendo did nothing wrong or trying to downplay it. Not as many as the usual, but still a good amount.
I think there were other creators who did that also. I've been confused about Game Grumps since I think they still kept doing Nintendo stuff, but I can't see them being willing to throw away income like that.
I don't deny other creators had a problem with it, but Joe got the most shit for it. I don't know any other constant creator that did other than him around that time. All the other ones were either met with approval or indifference in most cases. Ask for game grumps, I can't speak for them, but I lost interest in them only after a year and a half. Also Aaron has some really weird and out their opinions that he takes qnd spouts as absolute facts. I'm sure he's probably calmed down at some point, but I'm still not interested in this channel.
Like what? I know that jontron has some... problematic opinions but I haven't heard much from Aaron.
While nothing to the extent of Jontron, Aaron had his moments. Plus, this is we kind of started getting full of himself. Them ignoring outright tutorials or instructions explaining the game, and then blaming the game (for not telling them) when they know it was their fault.

Aaron has always been kinda full of himself, thats kinda one of his things. Plus them not knowing the game has always been somewhat of an audience joke.
A joke I feel came up far, far too often that it lost any novelty pretty quick. Even Arin knew that people commented on his faults when it came to listening to the game/its tutorials, and he knew he was deliberately just ignoring things in the game and being a bit of a dumbass, but seemingly made little effort to improve despite that fact
I don't care if it's always been one of his things. It's not charming and it loses novelty when done over and over and over again with little subversion or subtlety. That's why I didn't hang around him too long. And hearing bad things afterwards was doing nothing for me. I'm glad I moved on a better people that know how to make good content and not act like egotistical jackasses.
