@Wargoose wait, are you criticising a studio that has essentially had their game stolen by a publisher that is releasing unauthorised copies of the game and potentially scamming people on a game that doesn't exist?
Its a cute design. How hard would it have been to simply show it to Nintendo and ask for licence? There are so many accessory companies so I don't think it would be that hard to legally make this.
For perspective, Doom Eternal is on multiple platforms, Animal Crossing is only on Switch. The amount of copies they had to sell to beat Doom Eternal to the top spot has to be staggering.
@MS-Izou "but PSO2 has a Zelda collab and a Toro-kun collab."
Exactly, it is almost as if developers asked permission first instead of just using Nintendo IP without permission.
As for Sega, they are fine with Sonic fan games because they have no idea how to make a great Sonic game any more. The last great Sonic game in recent years is Sonic Mania and Sega had nothing to do with it.
"By creating, posting, streaming, transmitting or providing SIE any User Material, you represent and warrant that your User Material does not infringe on the intellectual property or other rights of any third party and is not obscene, defamatory, offensive or an advertisement or solicitation of business and you have the appropriate rights to use, create, post, distribute, transmit and provide User Material and to grant SIE the foregoing license. You must cooperate with SIE in resolving any dispute that may arise from your User Material."
You have to abide by the terms that Sony has laid out, though Sony will probably only act when they get a complaint from an IP holder.
Yes, other companies allow fan made creations but that is up to them. The team behind Sonic Mania asked permission to get the license and Sega said yes. Nintendo is branching out a lot more recently. Has anyone ever put together an idea and actually applied to get the rights to a Mario game? Oh right, Ubisoft asked with Mario and Rabbids and they made a massively well received game.
Nice, though I have a DVD quality copy already. A movie I had no expectations for and left surprisingly excited and wanting a sequel. Jim Carrey, back on form, was the perfect choice for Robotnik too.
So far I have got a home, paid off the loan, added 3 more fruit to my island set up and donate enough for the museum, helped start and set up the shop and invite more villagers to my island, and I have only been playing a day and a bit. This game is so addictive.
Also, I do not see the point in achievements in most games but this game has achievements done right. Get an achievement, get Nook Miles.
@Dezzy "I'll never understand why actors/actresses are constantly sought for input into issues that have nothing to do with acting. Makes about as much sense as reporting on the opinions of your local butcher and taxi driver."
Why are their views any different or less valid to yours? They can be an actor, butcher, taxi driver or any profession and still be a gamer. I'm a teacher and have been a gamer for over 30 years now. What is your profession?
God I love Brie Larson. Every time she speaks it helps us see which members of this community are so goddamn insecure. Newsflash, if what she has said in the past about a certain group of men has offended you, maybe take a look at yourself and your behaviour to find out why. As a straight white man I found none of her comments insulting in any way.
As for Captain Marvel, people really have a hard time understanding how a woman was abducted and brainwashed into being a ruthless Skrull killing machine with surpressed emotions. I thiught her performance was fine even though the movie was about as good as any other solo Marvel movie. It was better than The Incredible Hulk, Captain America The First Avenger, Thor Dark World, and Iron Man 3 though.
It never fails to make me laugh about how defensive some men get by the mere mention of Brie Larson's name. She is also a massive Legend of Zelda fan so you cannot say she has bad taste in games.
G1 Megatron reissues only happen in Japan, so if Nintendo did go knocking it would limit the places they could sell it. That said, there are plenty of online retailers that buy those reissues and sell them world wide. All they need is an orange tip added to the barrel to make them viable. If they use this colour scheme though, it might be ok to sell as is.
@RasandeRose Nintendo has a shaky relationship with Korea. Piracy is massive there. It was not uncommon for people to sell hacked Wii consoles or Nintendo DS consoles with rom cards at retail stores. The 3DS was delayed quite a long time because of this and they didn't even bother releasing the Wii U there. Customers had to import from Japan. Switch seems to be doing well in Korea though so things are turning around for them.
I can't believe companies have to apologise to people for this. Anyone should realise that peoples health should always come before manufacturing games consoles or shipping toys etc.
@ozwally it won't get everything but as long as there is a large instal base, companies will find a way. Witcher 3 was considered an impossible port at one time, and it is available now.
@fadedcolors What do you think Pokemon Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Black/White 2, Ultra Sun/Moon were? Also, you don't have to buy the DLC, the Pokemon can be brought over on Pokemon Home, and you can get them though trades for free.
@PBandSmelly Actually, it has been proven by people who actually know what they are talking about that models (Not all admittedly) have been updated at mesh level and I'm sorry to tell you those mobile games are using the 3DS textures which are better than the 3DS can display but are not HD. Check out the texture for Charmander from SwSh and compare it to the texture from the 3DS games. Source: Models Resource which has the models ripped from the games and their textures. Also, you can see it here: https://ibb.co/mc3C6WN
@PBandSmelly except the Pokemon in those 200 are mostly not in the game files, and the first batch of content isn't ready till June, so, they don't just magically appear. They showed Pokemon from all generations. Barring the first 151 Pokemon, the rest do not have HD textures so they will all need remade too.
We have seen the quality of Platinum Games games when they are given plenty of time to make it, and we have seen the quality of them when they are forced to rush them. Let them develop it in peace.
Remember, the real reason for her not appearing in Smash was because it would raise the game rating. Japan's censors wouldn't allow a character with the risk of panty shots at the all ages level. The "good boys and girls" translation was actually the translator mistranslating.
@Whyita and you think that including every single fighter from all past games (which didn't happen with the Wii U entry), even including a lot of new ones and then adding 10 more via DLC, along with packing it with game modes to play isnt more than last time? Entitlement overload.
