- Nintendo's Strained Relationship with its Biggest Fans ft. CelloKat & Katie Shesko - #265
We’re joined by video game music artists CelloKat and Katie Shesko to discuss Nintendo’s often combative relationship with content creators. Nintendo has been shutting down fan games, emulation sites, YouTube channels, and now sheet music distributors. Why is Nintendo so aggressive and protective of its IP? What does this mean for the future of Nintendi fan projects, like VGM sheet music and covers? Listen to Super Switch Headz on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you enjoy podcasts.
