Ah yeah, that'd be awesome!

Also, yeah...I'm in the Game Maker developers camp as well. I'm really hoping we get support to develop Switch games using Game Maker.

@dougphisig It is more of a formality in this case, so it isn't as severe, a slap on the wrist. If Nintendo were lax on this and ignored it, it could invite more serious infringements and endanger licencing rights and incur the abandonment clause.

Nintendo's just doing what is expected. They aren't going to lose shareholder's confidence by letting these games be.

Here's some stuff concerning Trademark Law - https://cyber.harvard.edu/metaschool/fisher/domain/tm.htm The relevant bits are in section 6, 7, & 8.

Though, this is merely an overview, since the main document is a beast. There is a clause that a trademark can be claimed if it is abandoned for 3 years and not disputed when infringement occurs.

In this case, when has Nintendo made anything relating to "Super Mario 64"? You can be sure that it is more than 3 years. Nintendo is compelled by law to address these infringements.

Ah man...I know EXACTLY what held it back from releasing on the Wii U. Had the same problem while prototyping my own project. If this gets in, then that "one MEGA popular" indie game, built with the same development software, would most certainly be able to get on the Switch!

That said, I'd be glad to play this game on the Switch~♪

I'm sure it'll pick up even more after launch. I know I am eager to develop for it.

This pretty much confirms price details in the presentation.

@PlywoodStick Noted, but I'm still wary when some consumers don't know better and substitute the estimate for the actual price.

@PlywoodStick Maybe, but it is still a gray area, influencing expectations. And so close to the presentation, too. That, and we shouldn't forget that the president stated that the next system won't sell at a loss. I expect a little more aggressive approach to pricing.

@greengecko007 A bit harsh, but I do agree. Not fond of this kind of manipulation of expectations, especially with the timing.

Concerning Nikkei, I'm not sure manipulating expectations is wise, especially with the presentation so close. Despite that, I do hope that the price is reasonable and fair. Moreso, I'm more interested in the resources and development hardware. Perhaps the the smaller developers will have access to it after the presentation. One can hope~♪

@LemonSlice https://youtu.be/f5uik5fgIaI?t=1m46s you can see the camera below the screen to the left.

I spotted a camera in the lower-left in the trailer.

@Xenocity I kinda wish I remembered where I heard it. It was cited by multiple sources addressing the concern that NX will replace Wii U. Well, either way I've got plans to make if NX is anything like I anticipate it to be.

Well, I don't think it is a coincidence that Nintendo stopped mentioning multi game-pad support. Nintendo also mentioned that NX will be third pillar, if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't be surprised if the type of games like the ones with the GBA linked GCN games made a comeback in the NX.

This sounds great! I may have to give this a try with my upcoming projects.

Being a Wii U developer, I do have a great interest in the quality and impressions in the industry and in Nintendo. Everything changes, especially video games, and I'll keep researching and studying to get the most of what new opportunities and changes could arise. I do have a few remarks on this, but I want to elaborate more on it in a way to reach more people than in a simple thread of comments.
