There is nothing to consider. Our stance is already set in stone for all of the reasons we've already described. Unless Nintendo comes out and for whatever reason releases those assets to the public themselves, they will never be accepted here.

I'd say atleast wait a few months to see what Nintendo will do about the situation, and then perhaps think more about releasing *certain* things on TSR/TMR? You don't have to of course, but it's something to consider. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Started in the Classic Timeline- 4, F Final. It's just that in trailers and in this case, the series select, they have listed copyrights. That said, origins will vary between games on occasion. In its first appearance, it was Getter-1 undergoing a controlled nuclear style meltdown, mutating the machine to the point that it actively transformed without using Open Get. In the context of SRW W, Shin Getter was made by Dr Saotome in collaboration with Dr Juzo Kabuto in order to serve as a preventative measure should Mazinkaiser go berserk.

@ObsidianPlague: The Pokémon Spaceworld demo was not part of the "Gigaleak" and was made public in an entirely different way. Get the sprites from somewhere else.
If we host rips from the "Gigaleak," there is a good chance the entire site will be taken down.

Darn, it would be nice to at least have stuff like the uncompressed Super Mario 64 sound effects on here. But this is understandable - this website is already pushing its luck with Nintendo's grip on their copyrighted content and intellectual property as-is.

@DogToon64 VG resource has unreleased pokemon sprites from THE EXACT SAME DUMP. This is a ridiculous double standard. Somehow pokemon sprites are okay, but a model of luigi and a sprite of luigi giving the finger is a big nono.

My gosh, I haven't seen this many comments in an update since...
Anyways, in seriousness. At first, I didn't understand why, but I think I do now:

- We can't post the leaked sprites because Nintendo never wanted them to be seen by us. Almost like how the Patreon sprites in the Pizza Tower (Demo) section can't be posted because Patreon builds are private, unless they're inside one of the public demo's files (like Kentucky Kenny or the Alien), used or unused.
- If we even can post them (which I don't know if that will happen), it might be a few or several years to never.
- Other sites like the Cutting Room Floor are sharing them, so we should use them instead of trying to post them on tSR. Like when Ton says down below that there's other people posting them.

I believe what I'm saying here is correct, am I right?

(@ObsidianPlague Really? That's what you have to say about the staff... just wow...)

For anyone complaining; sprite ripping is a VERY grey area, legally. We could theoretically be shut down by any of the companies whose graphics we host at any time. What’s more, nearly every (if not every) major gaming company knows we exist. They visit the site, use our sheets, etc. This is documented. We have an unspoken relationship with them that they turn a blind eye as long as we don’t do things that run against them.
This, unequivocally, does. In order to stay operational, we won’t be venturing into these waters. There are plenty of other people out there who are posting graphics. Use them.

@ObsidianPlague: So you're saying it's perfectly fine for people to break into corporate servers and steal / redistribute terabytes of personal information, damaging the livelihoods of others in the process?

There's an astronomical difference between ripping content from games that were released to the public as-is (i.e., nothing that we haven't seen before) and redistributing confidential information that nobody outside Nintendo was ever meant to see.

Have this Tweet thread from Cheesemeister3k. He explains the situation quite well.

Maybe the sheets could be allowed once the coast is cleared in, say, by the end of this year? Chances are if TCRF and SMWCentral are fine, then TSR would be too.

@RedDashGames Yes, the leak that happened back in May had Spaceworld prototypes of Pokémon Gold and Silver, but they are from a different year.
The one dumped 2 years ago was the Gold Version demo seen in Spaceworld '97, while the leak from May 2020 had the Gold and Silver versions demos from Spaceworld '99.
In other words, the page (https://www.spriters-resource.com/game_boy_gbc/pokemongoldsilverspaceworld1997prototype/) is OK to be in here as it wasn't from this year's leaks and from a cartridge that, despite being stolen, it ended up in someone's hands (just like the Simon Wai prototype of Sonic 2).

Edit: Ok, we're dealing with Nintendo and NOT Sega, so this might be difficult to compare the Pokémon demo from '97 with Sonic 2's prototype.

You'd have to be really bored to rip sprites from this piece of crap.
I never liked this Sonic game, I consider it one of the worst I've played along with Sonic Labyrinth.
The graphics suck, the special stage is boring, the controls are terrible, you get stuck on loops, and the music is awful
I give this game a 0/10

Mander (Paper Mario-Style)

This enemy was most likely called Mander. At least, that's an internal name that's still referenced in the data. There was Zakomander (the most likely category for this variant, as it means Small Mander), Kingmander (likely an equivalent to Hooktail) and Honemander (equivalent to Bonetail).
