My original list still lies at https://pastebin.com/nEZbsv3F . Just Google a titleID to find that game's name and region.
It's way worse now. I was in the process of trying to use my PC to snag all the USA releases that were still available and I think Nintendo is actively updating EVERY game on the eShop to now require proper authentication. Even random crap like "Family Bowling 3D" won't download now. Easy days are over, folks.

Just grab them manually and install. Only a few extra steps.

You're right, Nintendo blocked a total of 2852 titles now. See the updated list at https://pastebin.com/68T0brhj .

I guess blocking just a few games was just a beta testing, seeing it worked it's being enforced on pretty much all games now.

No.... this was said a thousand times: This ONLY affects CDN downloads, NOT installing through CIAs, NOT online play and NOT already installed games.
Okay.

You really did not have to be rude. :(

When you see something like authentication, it can mean ANYTHING. It could have meant checking if games being accessed on a device are legit. You never know. Ninety could have e backdoor implemented something like that.


Honestly, i rather ask and answer a question several times because of how something is now worded different and safe, than play it fast and loose. I get that it can be an inconvenience, but people are worried.

It just affects CDN downloaded stuff, due to the change in NIM in 11.8.

I called this in another topic. Essentially CDN apps would become worthless, though I expected it to be slower. I assumed they would start incrementally rolling out the checks after the initial protection on their first-party titles.

I'm not sure how it affects PC-based ones such as Villain3DS, but even if it works for now (assuming you have a titlekeys list) it wouldn't take much extra time to fix.

I guess Nintendo finally hired some people who know cyber security.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.

  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    FNF was born from Game Jams
