@ironside1911 Generally speaking we do not allow users to discuss and exchange links to ROMs themselves. If such a link is posted, you can use the Contact Form below to talk to the editors. As we the mods are not writers, we do not have control over what is posted on news.
Everyone has their tastes. @Bolt_Strike doesn't care for the 3DS line-up as much as I don't care for the PS4 line-up. It doesn't mean we should just gang up on him for having a different opinion.
@AlexSora89 Don't be silly. It won't be long until Metroid Zero. It's a rehash of Metroid whatever with a bunch of features no one knew that they wanted! It'll be a huge hit!
@Bolt_Strike Allow me to point out the main problem with your argument. You seem to think that the whole world should revolve around the customer, which will lead to disaster in most cases. Nintendo has the right to do whatever the heck they want with Metroid, whether you like it or not. It's not YOUR franchise, it's theirs. Sure, it sucks that they're not releasing any huge hits lately, but that doesn't give the fans the right to do it for them.
I used this argument when defending Disney's copyright of Mickey Mouse. In this case, copyrights should not expire when the character is the face of that company. Samus is associated with Nintendo and thus belongs to Nintendo. Is it fair? Probably not, but not all laws are designed to be fair for the customer.
1. Everyone gets excited about a fan game 2. Nintendo shuts it down 3. Everyone freaks out like it's the first time 4. Nintendo fans complain but for some reason still buy Nintendo games 5. Rinse and repeat
It sounds great, until you realize they may have to pay taxes, figure out how much they spent on the team since the purchase, etc. It may not be as much of a return as shown here.
@3Daniel No. Once you finish a "decision" or story plot, you are not required to see it again. Matter of fact, if you have to replay a fragment to make another decision, you can tap the skip button to skip to the decision part
@wiggleronacid "not paying attention to its fans?" You mean the press releases where they admit they're trying to fix it? You mean the fix that's probably more than just pushing a button and instant fix?
@IceClimbers Depends on the deal they have with Game Freak and Creatures. I'd imagine it'd be a little over a third since Nintendo is covering for marketing, manufacturing and distribution.
@RoomB31 It depends. Pokemon Go may bring the brand to a mainstream audience and thus increase the sales of the TCG, merchandise, and new games, all of which Nintendo gets royalties from.

@teamshortcut It's not even here yet despite their statement a few days ago.
Re: Guide: How To Earn Candy With Your Pokémon GO Buddy
Don't feel too bad Europe, the update forgot to add the Buddy system in America. Great PR Niantic!
Re: The Xbox One Might Be Getting A NES Emulator
@ironside1911 Well then, Microsoft is just being naughty
Re: The Xbox One Might Be Getting A NES Emulator
@ironside1911 Perhaps it was a misunderstanding. Usually some emulator sites have ROMs as well.

Under an hour? I'll take that challenge. It'll probably take me 20 hours

Oh, and it features Ridley, but even bigger.

Re: Poll: Did the 3DS Nintendo Direct Boost Your Hype for the Portable's Line-Up?
I want Mario Maker 3DS for the levels on the go. I never really cared for online sharing, so bleh that
Re: TANK TROOPERS Reporting For Duty On 3DS This Winter
Bring it on! I'll take all of you out
Re: Hyrule Warriors Legends Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks DLC Pack is Out Today
@Ventilator Not exactly. Nintendo still made games for the Wii U. Sony barely acknowledges the Vita anymore
Re: Video: An Outlandish Wishlist for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
See? Zelda has had voice acting for 10+ years!
Re: Video: An Outlandish Wishlist for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Don't be silly. We had voice acting before!

Re: Nintendo Acquires Japanese Company JESNET To Gain Control Of Product Distribution
@Rukiafan7 An odd statement considering they've been risky lately. See: Bayonetta.
Re: NES Classic Edition Will Feature a Brand New Emulator Developed by NERD
@epicmartin7 What a wonderful idea. I should replace every "first" comment with a blue shell gif. I love that
Re: Nintendo Acquires Japanese Company JESNET To Gain Control Of Product Distribution
@Rukiafan7 Er, what? They published some of Level 5's titles in the west...
Re: Nintendo Acquires Japanese Company JESNET To Gain Control Of Product Distribution
Don't mess with an account
Re: Niantic Pushes Out a New Pokémon GO Update
I played it again for about 5 minutes and got like 10 warnings. They should just update with "Don't be an idiot" warning.

@VanillaLake I suggest chilling and ignoring/reporting the flames.

@Jamotello The rules were changed last year
Re: Nintendo Outlines Plans For Gamescom 2016, Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Only Playable For Select Few
@kamikazilucas You missed the point. BotW demo was NEVER open to the public. e3 was not a public event, so it was not open to the public.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Plans For Gamescom 2016, Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Only Playable For Select Few
@kamikazilucas https://www.e3expo.com/attendee/2903/attendee-faq/
Nope, still not open to the public.
Re: Fan-Made Title Pokémon Uranium Withdrawn By Creators Following Cease And Desist Fears
@ChuJelly They can. Nintendo is one of the trademark and copyright holders.
Re: New Pokémon and Antagonists, Team Skull, Revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Dislikesfats Yes and no. These forms seem to be ones you can catch in Alola.

Re: Poll: Which Nintendo NX Games Do You Want to See in the Launch Window?
Well Retro has had how many years to work on a project?
Re: Poll: Which Nintendo NX Games Do You Want to See in the Launch Window?
@gcunit Eh, more like a 99% given. We don't know for sure definitely not-maybe
Re: Niantic Explains Decision to Stop Unofficial Apps From Accessing Pokémon GO's Servers
But this is still irreparable damage that cost them millions of users!
Re: Poll: Which Nintendo NX Games Do You Want to See in the Launch Window?
Wario ware for sure. We skipped a whole generation without a proper Warioware game. Or at least a sequel to the Gamer game from the Wii U title
Re: Video: Playing Yooka-Laylee Properly With a Nintendo 64 Controller, Sort Of
The N64 is one of the worst controller designs I've seen. Only the original Xbox beats it
Re: Random: Japanese Olympic Gymnast Racked Up Massive Bill From Playing Pokémon GO in Rio
@Meowpheel After all the articles of people's stupidity on Pokemon Go, you doubt this?
Re: PokéVision Creator Writes Open Letter On Niantic Shutting Down Fan-Made Pokémon GO Tools
Oh I can't wait for the Fire Emblem mobile game. My life will be over if it's broken

@wiggleronacid "not paying attention to its fans?" You mean the press releases where they admit they're trying to fix it? You mean the fix that's probably more than just pushing a button and instant fix?
Re: PokéVision Creator Writes Open Letter On Niantic Shutting Down Fan-Made Pokémon GO Tools
Maybe you should stop treating Pokemon Go like your entire life depends on it. Geez
Re: The Pokémon Sun and Moon Z-Move Toys Look Like Money-Spinners
No, they're not required. They react by lighting up when you use Z-moves in the game.
Re: Video: Catch Up On Battles and Classes in Dragon Quest VII
So it's just like IX. I'm sold even more
Re: Japan Weekly: Famitsu Fuses Dragon Ball Fusion and Etrian Odyssey V Into a Worthwhile Issue
@Gorlokk Well didn't you want to play as a bunny girl/dog boy or short humans?
Re: Video: This Raspberry Pi-Powered, 3D Printed NES Mini Puts Nintendo's Effort To Shame
@TeeJay But unlike Nintendo they cannot sell these, so the point is moot

@BensonUii @Takerkaneanite6 @SLIGEACH_EIRE It's time to take a chill pill and knock it off.
Re: Nintendo Shares Slump Dramatically as Company Cites "Limited" Financial Impact of Pokémon GO
@IceClimbers Depends on the deal they have with Game Freak and Creatures. I'd imagine it'd be a little over a third since Nintendo is covering for marketing, manufacturing and distribution.
Re: Team Marie Triumphs in Splatoon's Final Splatfest
Maybe there should be a ranked Splatfest.
Re: Nintendo Shares Slump Dramatically as Company Cites "Limited" Financial Impact of Pokémon GO
@RoomB31 It depends. Pokemon Go may bring the brand to a mainstream audience and thus increase the sales of the TCG, merchandise, and new games, all of which Nintendo gets royalties from.
Re: Nintendo Shares Slump Dramatically as Company Cites "Limited" Financial Impact of Pokémon GO
@GrailUK Another plus is merchandise. I've noticed Pokemon sections of stores emptying out
Re: Nintendo Shares Slump Dramatically as Company Cites "Limited" Financial Impact of Pokémon GO
@Yoshis95 Well you can go outside to avoid the...oops no there are a bunch of GO players outside.
Re: Metroid Prime: Blast Ball Gets Surprise Release, for Free, on the 3DS eShop
