Re: Zelda Fan Film Kicks Off Fundraising Campaign With First Live-Action Trailer

@JohnnyMind people who don’t learn from their mistakes, or learn from others’ very obvious and widely-publicised mistakes, need to be held accountable.
Nintendo will absolutely go after this if it gets enough traction and everyone knows they will. They are the most consistent and notorious protectors of their IP in the industry, so I don’t have any sympathy for the creators now and I won’t in the future either. It’s also a good thing that the trailer was mince because we won’t be missing anything.

Re: Random: PlayStation's Astro Bot Director Pays Tribute To Mario And Nintendo In GOTY Speech

A surprisingly touching and classy gesture. Some have argued, however, that Astro Bot has gone beyond more ‘influenced by Mario’ and has straight-up copied mechanics at times. But respect to this guy for even having the audacity and awareness to reference Nintendo when accepting an award for a first-party Sony title.

@obijuankanoobie I mean, he does mention Super Mario Bros. by name, which is a game made a company that I’m sure everyone in that room is aware of…

Re: Random: Metroid Prime 3 Dev Left Retro Studios After "Unhealthy Relationship" With Nintendo Micromanagement

Don’t forget, we’re only getting one side of the story here. For example, I know he’s paraphrasing but he was never told to “go away”, I refuse to believe that. Unsure why he’s coming out with this 17 years after the game release too, what is the point? Like everyone else, I’m siding with the so-called micromanagers as that Nintendo quality is obvious through the course of their work.

Re: Nintendo Is Ranked The Third Most Sought-After Employer In Japan

@RetroGames you just said that you don’t have quite enough skill or talent to be hired there in the first place, so I think you answered your own question as to why they wouldn’t hire an ‘old fart’ like you.
The article doesn’t mention anything about the average age of employees so how would we know their policy around that?
Keep sticking to the NintendoLife comments section and maybe someone will notice ye and offer you a position.
