Reggie is stretching the definition of "commercial product" a bit too far. There was no exchange of money involved here. What I think he was trying to say is that AM2R became a product of high enough quality that it could rival their own, and that didn't sit right with them, which is legally understandable.
Wow, this boss music really sounds like it came straight from Yooka-Laylee! Now I have to get this game, because I simply must listen to the rest of the soundtrack! Love me some Kirkhope goodness!
Played it on Xbox One. It was a good Zelda clone. I certainly enjoyed my time with it. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking. Keep your expectations in check and you'll be fine.
@Radbot42 Basically, the glitch lets you overlap things that can't be normally overlapped, and also put things inside Clown Cars that aren't normally allowed. You can find this stuff on YouTube.
I had a blast with this game last week or so, when I played it to completion. Even with its imperfections, I still loved it, and it's great to hear they're addressing those soon!
I wouldn't be surprised if the system being cracked wide open by hackers has something to do with this decision. I mean, it's apparently extremely easy to feed the entire NES library to your NES Classic and more, and I don't see Nintendo being okay with that.
Yeah, Marshadow was unofficially known about since day one, and even before that. I think the real news here is how they are seemingly retconning Brock and Misty out of existence in the latest trailer for the upcoming Pokemon movie...

Re: Feature: Splatoon 2 and the Spirit of Miiverse - In Pictures
I didn't know sergals were in need of saving.
Re: Tiny Barbarian DX To Feature Lovely Box-Art By Beloved Famitsu Artist
This is also the artist who did the box art for the Japanese releases of the earlier Adventure Island games.
Re: Trademark Application Has Fans Dreaming of the Nintendo 64 Classic Mini
A N64 Classic mini would be cool.
They better strike some sort of deal with the big M$ and get the Rare games in there too!
Re: Feature: Ex-Rare Composer Grant Kirkhope On "Breaking Mario" And Following In Koji Kondo's Footsteps
I don't really care for those Rabbids, but the rest of the game looks great, and Grant Kirkhope's soundtrack seals the deal for me!
Re: Rumour: Wii U System Update Hints That Miiverse Is Coming To An End Soon
I'm actually surprised that Miiverse won't continue on the Switch.
Re: Gallery: A Look Back At Some Of Miiverse's Craziest And Most Beautiful Moments
I always appreciate nice looking water.
That last post (the 3D world one) was pretty good.
Re: Former Project M Devs Unveil Icons: Combat Arena; It Sure Looks Like Smash Bros
It's a re-skinned Smash Brothers...
Re: Headup Games Gives Release Details for Three Switch eShop Titles
Slime-san looks promising, but the titular slime looks more like a "-kun" to me... >_>'
Re: New Adventure Time And Ben 10 Games Are Coming To A "Nintendo Platform"
It's gonna be on Game Boy. Mark my words!
Re: Oddworld Creator Lorne Lanning "Has No Faith" In Switch
No....
That certainly wasn't what killed Iwata.
Re: Random: Internet Reacts Badly To The New Snake Pass Menu Icon
In before First world prob... Augh, too late.
That said, the new icon is indeed a step backwards, but it doesn't break the game for me, so... /shrug/
Re: Famitsu Readers Choose Super Mario Kart as the Best Racing Game of All Time
Okay. No.
Not in a world where Mario Kart 8 Deluxe exists.
Re: Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition
Holy mother of god! Starfox 2? And both the original Starfox and Yoshi's Island too? Someone pinch me: this is way too good to be real!!

Re: Here's Your First Taste Of Grant Kirkhope's Contribution To Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Wow, this boss music really sounds like it came straight from Yooka-Laylee! Now I have to get this game, because I simply must listen to the rest of the soundtrack! Love me some Kirkhope goodness!
Re: Review: Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas (Switch eShop)
I played this on the XBox One, and I enjoyed my time with it. It's a reasonably good Zelda-like with a lot of heart.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 is Revealed, But Unconfirmed for Nintendo Switch
Generally speaking, the trailer was all right, but the overuse of F-bombs was a bit off-putting in my opinion.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Unveiled by Ubisoft at E3 2017
I don't particularly care much for rabbids, but I've got to admit the game does look good. I'll wait for reviews.
Re: Blade Strangers is a New Fighting Game Heading to Switch
Can't say I care much for how strangely aliased the character sprites look.
Re: Oceanhorn Anchors In The Sheltered Harbour Of The Switch eShop This Month
Played it on Xbox One. It was a good Zelda clone. I certainly enjoyed my time with it. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking. Keep your expectations in check and you'll be fine.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Pokémon Direct and Its Big Reveals?
I went in with lowered expectations, came out not disappointed.
So, yeah. I guess you can say I was reasonably satisfied with these announcements.
Re: Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is Announced, But is Skipping Nintendo Switch and 3DS
Sad that they're shunning Nintendo platforms. Again.
But I've got an XboxOne precisely for situations like these, so whatever.
Re: NBA Playgrounds Switch Early Adopters to Get Free Copy of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn
Thanks, but no thanks.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st June (North America)
@Bunkerneath
You mean Specter of Torment? It's been out for a few weeks now.
Re: Capcom's Future Output For Switch Depends On Ultra Street Fighter II Sales, States COO
Welp.
That'd be the first and last Capcom game on the Switch then.
Re: Pokémon GO is Reportedly Targeting 'Cheaters' By Hiding Rare Pocket Monsters
Ash Ketchup...
Can't tell if it was a mistake or not.
Re: Mighty Gunvolt Burst Has Been Revealed for Switch and 3DS
Looks like Ekoro isn't making the cut this time.
@sonicmeerkat
I'm pretty sure those were quietly swept under the rug.
Re: Random: Does Dr. Mario Take Place Inside Luigi's Brain? A Manga From 1990 Says It Does...
Weeeeird
Re: Cat Quest Claws Its Way to Switch eShop Soon
Looks strangely slow-paced for a game starring cats.
Re: Random: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Patch Removes Offensive "Bras d'honneur" Gesture
Fun fact: this exact same change happened to Bowser's victory animation in Super Mario RPG when localized from Japan to everywhere else.
Re: Sinking Keiji Inafune’s Kaio: King of Pirates Cost Marvelous $3.8 Million Dollars
Such a shame.
That reveal trailer looked so nice.
Re: Abylight Has Just Submitted The 3DS Port Of Maldita Castilla EX To Nintendo
So, if these guys managed to successfully port a Game Maker game to a Nintendo system, what's stopping Undertale from doing the same?
Re: Project Rap Rabbit Needs To Raise Almost $5 Million For Any Chance Of A Switch Port
Usagi Yojimbo got a tan, I see.
Re: Inti Creates Announces Blaster Master Zero Version 1.2
I wonder if they'll add Mighty N.9 too at some point in the future, even after what became of that game.
Re: Andy Robinson Reflects on Yooka-Laylee’s Performance
The game was awesome. Played it on XBone and loved every minute of it. Give me a physical release on Switch and I'll double-dip.
Re: Piczle Lines DX Announced for the Nintendo Switch eShop
Looks kinda interesting.
Hopefully the price is right.
Re: Weirdness: The Sad Tale of the Deflating Pikachu That Couldn't Dance
That short, short-lived comeback at the end, though!
Re: Meet The Mario Maker Player Nintendo Wants To Ban For Keeping The Game Alive
@shaneoh
Have you seen his levels, though? They're amazing.

Basically, the glitch lets you overlap things that can't be normally overlapped, and also put things inside Clown Cars that aren't normally allowed. You can find this stuff on YouTube.
Re: Meet The Mario Maker Player Nintendo Wants To Ban For Keeping The Game Alive
Nintendo bans people for their own programming mistakes, instead of fixing them. Amazing.
sigh
Nintendo gonna Nintendo, I guess...
Re: Yooka-Laylee Could Be Much Improved By The Time The Switch Version Arrives
@darkscythe13 Those seeds in World 3? Don't push them. Pull them...
Re: Yooka-Laylee Could Be Much Improved By The Time The Switch Version Arrives
I had a blast with this game last week or so, when I played it to completion. Even with its imperfections, I still loved it, and it's great to hear they're addressing those soon!
Re: Capcom Wants You To Know That It's Taking The Nintendo Switch Very Seriously
Yes, very seriously.
Which is why Disney Afternoon and the rumored Mega Man Collection 2 are skipping Nintendo consoles.
Wait...
Re: Splatoon's New Manga Serialization Launches in Coro Coro on 15th May
Naked inkling... why?
Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America
I wouldn't be surprised if the system being cracked wide open by hackers has something to do with this decision. I mean, it's apparently extremely easy to feed the entire NES library to your NES Classic and more, and I don't see Nintendo being okay with that.
Re: A New Mythical Pokémon For Sun and Moon is a Mysterious Marshmallow, It Seems
Yeah, Marshadow was unofficially known about since day one, and even before that. I think the real news here is how they are seemingly retconning Brock and Misty out of existence in the latest trailer for the upcoming Pokemon movie...
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
But where are the coconut guns?
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (North America)
Tried to cast my vote for Snake Pass, but it won't let me. It says "Erm, you didn't an answer", which looks like a bug to me.
