@UglyCasanova well they are right. Watching others play their games instead of playing them yourself is an abomination. They are great games mostly. Not movies.

@Nepo it is. Nintendo are not selling fiction, they are selling games.

@locky-mavo "Standing on a tall person’s shoulders doesn’t make you tall."

But it does make it easier to spit in his face.

@Kitoro you can make fan games without the IP. Check out the Nintendo eshop for some absolutely brilliant ones.

@nessisonett poor wittle programmer can't find an artist on the internet to team up with? That's it, he's forced to use Nintendo extremely famous IP then.

@Mattock1987 I don't think they want to understand. It means not doing what they want and accepting reality. Makes me wonder what kind of upbringing they got. It feels like that gets worse every generation.

@TheFrenchiestFry it might have done for Nintendo is what I am saying.

@TheFrenchiestFry yes they are two seperate things. The article is supposed to be about fan projects but it serves up the melee pedo gate as another example of Nintendo putting out a C&D.

That's why I added a counter argument in the second part of my first comment. I don't understand your problem with it I think?

@TheFrenchiestFry first of all: sorry for hurting your feelings but I am not saying those creeps are the majority.
Just that Nintendo doesn't want to be linked to a group that has people like that in a major position there AND uses their IP in a way they do not give permission for.

@Mountain_Man I suppose they are technicians with not much imagination or too shy / afraid to propose their own ideas for world and character building.

The Sonic Mania argument is also completely disingeneous.

Sega haven't got a clue nowadays and were publishing appallingly bad sonic games for decades. Of course they jumped at that fan offering his skills. They were desperate. They are still desperate. That's why they have that stance towards fan games.

Obviously that's not an argument for Nintendo to agree to fan games for Nintendo IP. Nintendo is far from desperate. They have actual skilled developers.

@nessisonett no, but the mod feels like a convenient excuse to shut that thing down and not be associated with that sort of 'unsavoury stuff'.

I don't care for fan feelings. Make your own game. Loads of indie developers have and are succesful with it, DESPITE the obvious likeness to Nintendo's IP. They even might have started out as 'fan games' before switching things up and making it know publicly. Blossom Tales is Zelda but with original graphics and music, so is Baldo and loads of others.

Another thing is that Smash Bros. Melee thing. Nintendo probably also shut that thing down because of the many creeps and pedos in that niche community. Wasn't this exposed some time ago? Nintendo must have suspected.

Reads like a fanboy review to me. I think I will need to check out a more objective review for this one to see what it will be more like.

If this game was 20 hours I would have liked it. I stopped playing at that point, it was getting into Groundhog Day territory.

Looking at that trailer I am also glad for the Japanese voice over.

@Tandy255 oh thanks for clarifying!

@nessisonett well ok then. I always remember it being written without the capital first letter so black, white and so on. Must have remembered wrong then.

@nessisonett ok I did not know that word. So I looked it up on wikipedia. It says: "First introduced in the 1780s by members of the Göttingen school of history,[b] the term denoted one of three purported major races of humankind (those three being Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid)."

I see you are capitalizing the B in black when it comes to race. Why?

Sad, just sad. Real sad. Might as well have mcdonalds and gilette adverts in Animal Crossing now.

@Mgene15 no. The experience of playing together cant be replaced online. And the hyper obediant youth of today is too scared to get together because Trudeau screamed Covid. It's over for experiences like Goldeneye back then.

Isolate and stare at your phone.

@Darkyoshi98 hehe, an oldie but yeah love that one. 😉

About 3 fiddy.

That's such a sweet move to ask for donations for a cause he believes in instead of profiting. Lovely man.

Very generic character design.
But the gameplay might be good, let's see how it turns out.

This is very disrespectful to all survivors of domestic abuse and also victims of happy slapping. I hope the publisher reconsiders the name and puts at least 2 trigger warnings in the game.

@PBandSmelly that's pretty racist of you to smear an entire country like that.

The boxing coach from Punch-out! ?

@nessisonett searched for it but it didn't come up since he spelled it wrong.

Still a lousy result of course after that subliminal hint. 😉

Absolutely hilarious and telling that nobody mentions the game in the thumbnail. Time for another soapbox to drive that point home again soon eh? They keep resisting, damnit!

Anyway for me it's F-Zero X...so good, so hard, so on point. 🤟🏻

@Nintenbr0 no I think the Nintendolife crew could do a far better job. Hopefully they will!

I would also like to know how to play this. NintendoLife men and women, would you be so kind as to post a tutorial sometime?

A game with zero representation for all you bigots out there. 😉

@khululy well maybe you can start a lobby to include autism people in the list?

So why isn't Lesbian Gay? I don't understand the need for both the L and the G in that grouping.

Why not just H for Homo? Both are covered that way. Would make it a bit more efficient as the list name keeps growing every couple of years.

I appreciate all the effort that went into this and it looks super polished.

But it's not Banjo Kazooie, it's devoid of the humour, the charm, the whimsicalness, the flavour. The dramatic remixed music does it no favours.

"What if we like, took the Mona Lisa yeah, and made it like big and 8K and like HDR man that would be even better!"

Sounds a bit too mushy for me.

@nessisonett unless you want to play handheld.

Gray Brittain, what's for dinner? Spam.

Where is F-zero though? At position 11 then?

@Silly_G that would depend on if Sakurai even appreciates Turkish though. 😉

@Deerock69 thanks for clearing this up. Now that's indeed, unprecedented!

I love how this comment section is teaching people about the ego and narcisism of Sakurai.

Going against the party line and counter narratives are sometimes hard to come by on here.

@HammerGalladeBro "While I agree that preservation is important, I want to add that preservation and distribution aren't the same thing.

If the real intention was to preserve those games, you wouldn't go around giving them to everybody"

This is the best point that too many are overlooking. That site has nothing to do with art preservation. It's facilitating piracy. Nothing more. Nintendo is right.

@MissAshheart the fact that something isn't going away is no reason to tolerate and accept illegality.

@Lyricana if you're comparing 2 things to see if it's precendeted or not you don't bring in other variables. Otherwise there's no point in the definition of unprecendented.

@Lyricana there was no digital back then.

@JasmineDragon ok I never played it. Was it hugely popular? Seems like quite a niche weeabo type game to me from the looks of it?

@JasmineDragon isn't that a port of a 12 year old game?
