Sheets and Leaks
With so much new content, it's going to be tough to highlight individuals but I suppose a good place to start is with the customs. There are a bunch of new Mario customs among a handful of others for a total of 41 new submissions to the section this week which is always awesome to see!
Outside of the custom section, there's obviously plenty more so let's get started. The DS / DSi gets 105 new submissions with a ton from Castlevania (thanks to rufaswan's continued efforts) and also a bunch from Mario & Luigi: Bowswer's Inside Story (courtesy of Greiga Master and our very own Ton), and a few more from Super Robot Wars W and Kingdom Hearts to round everything out. Kingdom Hearts also appears in our mobile section (mayphelion) alongside Professor Layton (Luna16) and lots more so there's plenty to see there as well! And to finish off this random selection, the Nintendo Switch sees submissions to four of its games this week - Cadence of Hyrule (brought to us by RTB and Dazz), Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Dakress), Paper Mario: The Origami King (courtesy of a variety of people), and one more submission to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for quite the showing this week as well! That's really just a small sampling of what this update has to offer though so be sure to check out what interests you and perhaps pass on a thank you to those who ripped it!
Before I go though, I do want to quickly cover one important event that just recently happened. As I'm sure many of you are already aware, a large amount of confidential and sensitive data from Nintendo was recently leaked. This may sound hypocritical coming from us given the nature of the content on this site but we can't support or participate in the large-scale theft of intellectual property so we will not be accepting any submissions from this leaked data. It wasn't just images that were released - the full source code of various games and a bunch of other internal-only data is now out there and that goes way beyond what we do here, especially since many of those games are still available for purchase in one form or another directly from Nintendo. So, out of respect for their works as well as our time and yours, please do not submit anything obtained from these files - it will be rejected on-sight.
On that note though, that does it for this week's update! Be sure to check in next week for updates on all four sites and in the meantime, enjoy your weekend!
Edit: Because this has apparently gone wildly off the rails, let me make one thing crystal clear. Not accepting content from these leaks is not a moral issue. Respect for the private information included in the leak may be a small component here but the reality is, this data was obtained through a targeted and overtly illegal attack on Nintendo's servers and there is nothing gray about it. When I said we can't participate in large-scale theft, that's what I was referring to - the incredibly illegal nature of how this data was obtained. Nintendo has already been removing the content from other sites which should be evidence enough that it was a good call, for legal reasons, to not upload it here. Morality was never my primary reason for refusing this content - it was just a bonus at that point.

This community has become an astronomical disappointment as of recently.

Bruh. This site has had AWFUL quality control for YEARS. Only the people who know nothing about pixelart (100% of people who use the word sprite/spriter instead pixelart/pixelartist) regularly use and trust this site as a "resource". The quality control here is so bad you let anyone upload their own poor-a$$ sprites and mix them with official ones. Not that any of you guys can even rip stuff properly to begin with, so I'd be surprised if you could even catch any of the leaked stuff being uploaded here.

I completely understand this choice. To be honest, I'm kinda surprised Nintendo hasn't even tried filing a DMCA like some other companies already had. If that were to happen, it'd be a massive blow to TVGR as a whole.
I have a bit to say on this. the pokemon gold/silver leaks were from the same source as the gigaleak, and even *those* included the *full names, phone numbers, and email adresses* of gamefreak employees. The only reason you are putting down the hammer now is because this one got media attention.
My apologies then. Thanks for the reply.
... and knowing Nintendo, they probably never will
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.
@Random Talking Bush I only asked about considering it, I'm aware it more than likely wouldn't make the situation any better. ?
@SpritZ: The amount of time passed isn't going to suddenly make things "okay" to upload.
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)_/¯
So many rare beta content.
Also I laughed so hard when I saw those panic faces from Star Fox 2.

I actually found a grammar mistake that shouldn't be in that image.
@ObsidianPlague
1. I'm really just wanting to stay out of this
2. I'm ok with that
3. If "the finger" is what I think you're talking about, then I can see why it's a big no no
EDIT: 4. I'd rather have something I can easily learn the style from than the one that's harder to learn

@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.

Murphmario, I believe the staff's position is concrete - it's never going to happen here.
