In an interesting turn of events, the original Nintendo Switch reveal video, which dates back to 7 years ago on October 20th, 2016, has been removed from YouTube. While it is fun to rumour and speculate about the removal of the videos (with some even claiming the removal might have something to do with the rumoured Switch 2 console in development), the culprit of the removal comes down to nothing more but legal trouble regarding the reveal trailer.

According to Reddit user TheyCallMeRadec, the song 'Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)' by White Denim can be heard in the reveal video for the Switch. Some of the tracks by White Denim are currently in legal limbo after a series of events regarding the band not having the rights to some of their remastered tracks, and also the original record distributor being purchased by another company, which effectively makes the legal situation regarding the "Ha Ha Ha Ha (Yeah)" track quite difficult to settle.

It's quite interesting and ironic (not to say amusing) to see Nintendo being bit back by a copyright issue of all things, but at least, the rumours about an upcoming Switch 2 reveal due to the videos being made private can be put to rest... for a while at least.

And yet another thing that added fuel to the endless Switch 2 rumors

 

[Sir Tortoise]

My sources tell me that this is because the Switch 2 is coming out, the timing is obvious with how they've just released major new games on the original Switch. It'll also be more powerful than a PS5, run at 4K 120FPS, have a battery life of twelve hours, and cost £200. It'll also be bolted to the ground in the shop where you purchase it.

Just copyright reasons don’t make a big deal out of it

The music world truly is messed up... An artist doesn't have ownership of his own creations.

I love the smell of irony in the morning

 

[Paulsar99]

Don't see what's the big deal. Switch already made it's money. Bring on switch 2.

 

[Lather]

we live in a world where dmca's and other takedowns have gone insane. you cant even preserve news coverage online and lawyers made all this legal mess possible. the world would be alot better place without lawyers.

DMCA sometimes just like a sht came from the past.
if you can remove past things like the video that is ok to be watch in 2016, then why dont you just go ask Michael Jackson do his own job, sue these [hide]mtfker[/hide] modern people who abuse his music.

 

[Illindur]

Ha Ha Ha Ha

(Yeah)

 

[Marc_LFD]

I'm sure it doesn't really matter to nintendo, they're probably focusing on selling OLED units and developing their next console

Who the hell spends $350 on a 6 year old console when the next one is expected to be released in 2024 or early 2025?

I mean, parents might due to Christmas coming up and they don't know much about it.

Because those are just rumours. How else are you meant to play Switch games right now? Just wait 2 years?

I'd prefer just to wait than spend $350 on a 6 year old console knowing its successor isn't that far away.

Big Nintendo lawyers suing big Nintendo lawyers...

 

[HarveyHouston]

Dont know what to say about this. Everyone knows what the Switch is, but I do hope that people have made backups to this though lol

I have, in multiple formats. (Thanks to YouTube-DL, which now no longer works.) Also, at least as of right now, several other gaming sites have their copy of the trailer still.

Well wonderful. At least other people have the same video and if they all go down, we'll have someone else that'll have them in the highest quality possible.
