@FantasiaWHT Modern Vintage Gamer has tried to explain why Take Two could have a valid point (under current laws of course) and even win the case... https://youtu.be/Z9OZ2A-c62g
@atryue the fact that this game is HARRRRD should be a PRO for many gamers... Not much for me unfortunately...But I managed to defeat the first boss after 10/15 tries at least!
@Ambassador_Kong can't you wait some days for the review? Also, if you want there are already plenty of users reviews out there, so no big deal if they wait the upcoming patch. In the meantime you can play other games if you want.
Do you people know there's still a game breaking bug in Darksiders for Switch? If you die at the first earthworm miniboss and you reload the auto-save the miniboss doesn't appear and you're stuck there Forever, you can't do anything, if you didn't save manually you have to start from the very beginning: 8/9 hours wasted in the worst case scenario, only 1 for me because for some reasons ai thought it was wise to manually save the game! So yeah, there are various games with severe bugs out there, no big deal if they're fixed (or if you don't encounter them).
@Burning_Spear no big deal IF they fix all the game breaking bugs...some years ago I bought Mercenary Kings for PS Vita: the game had various bugs, but there were 2 really annoying bugs that prevented you from being able to finish a level: one was that you couldn't ride elevators (there was a workaround as players then found out though), and the second was that a boss freezed in mid-air and you were unable to hit it and you couldn't complete the level (unless you played co-op online with a PS4 user). Thankfully those bugs were fixed, but it took many weeks. The game was great though after the patches.
@Frobodobo no, you have talked only about aspirins and freesbies so far... No real evidences that a fan game could do what you say. Because it's silly to even think that a super Mario game made for the ancient commodore 64 could mean anything for the Super Mario franchise, not even the dozens of Pokémon fan hacks mean anything for the main series, and now this fan project. But yeah, keep doing the pr job in Nintendo's Place for free, maybe you'll get a prize in the future for this. The only thing sure is that we won't get a good (fan) game anymore, because of Nintendo, and also thanks to people like you. Thanks for nothing. In the meantime I'll avoid the Metroid official releases like the pest.
@Frobodobo for the last time, they DON'T RISK LOSING ANYTHING. The only thing they risk losing is their reputation, too bad Nintendo fanboys like you are so loyal abd have only 1 brain cell...
@Iggy-Koopa yeah, you could surely lose your trademark over a fan game... Come on, be serious!! As I've already said no company will ever lose anything because a fan made work!! NO WAY!!
@Frobodobo and you are basing it on what?? On some cases that don't have anything to do with FAN MADE GAMES!! Show me some STRONG evidence that A SINGLE FAN game could make a company lose their trademarks...
Show me a single evidence that a fan made Super Mario game for Commodore 64 could hurt Nintendo in a meaningful way!!
@Frobodobo Nothing will happen, nothing will change, even if there were dozens of Dragon Ball fan made products it wouldn't change a thing!! Dragon Ball is not an aspirin or a freesbie!!
@Frobodobo btw, look at Dragon Ball Multiverse, nobody has sent them any C&D letter, despite them using the Dragon Ball trademark and its many copyrighted characters. They don't need to defent their IPs, they are going strong anyway!
@Boshar lol, I bet someone has already made it, it's just that Marvel or DC don't care about fan games, they don't see them as a potential threat like Nintendo, they aren't obsessed to eradicate fan made games like Nintendo!!
@Boshar people don't read EULAs because they are frigging long, can't you read a start screen?? Also, most people know well that new Nintendo games are available only on Nintendo consoles. Only little kids don't know that, little kids Who nowadays play games mostly on smartphones and consoles. Inferior products you say? Inferior to what? This fan game doesn't seem inferior to official products to me!!
@Chamver if people are so passionate to "waste their time" like that, why can't they do it?? Do you know that some games out there were born as fan games, but then they became their own things?? Of course you don't know..
@Boshar usually in these fan games they state at the beginning that those are fan games, not affiliated to Sega, Nintendo, Capcom...your point is invalid.
@Chocobo_Shepherd what laws?? Sega has allowed fan made Sonic games for decades now, SNK has never done anything against all those Mugen games made with their King of Fighters sprites (and also logos), Toriyama and Toei said nothing against the fanmade Dragon Ball Multiverse (a project that probably made a lot of money btw to the people involved), what are you talking about?? Nintendo ise the only company that complains about a tiny Super Mario fan game made for the Commodere 64...
@PcTV no please, don't say that, It doesn't make any sense. Sega was against fan games too, but the backlash they received After the Streets of Rage Remake case was so strong they (at least I hope) understood it wasn't worth to make enemies among their own fans. Nintendo is different, their fanbase is so large they simply don't care about that, because they know that even some people boycott them there are millions who don't even know what just happened. But I do, and I don't forget.
@sanderev Oh yes, it's really generic...no wonder they lost the trademark on that. Nintendo can't lose their trademarks, not even in a million of years, don't be silly.
@Mountain_Man the people who worked at Sonic Mania started their careeer making original Sonic games (using Sonic 2 engine)...so why can't these guys do something similar? Oh, I know why, because of Nintendo!
@sanderev bullmanure, there are many King of fighters fan games out there, SNK nver bothered to send a C&D to protect its IP...they don't care, they don't need to do it, they know people will buy the official games when they are available. Nintendo doesn't understand something so simple...

@Quix So yeah, It's like fanart wouldn't be allowed at all, when we all know nobody has ever sent a C&d lettera for any fan art on the web...

@Frobodobo again that doesn't have anything to do with fan made stuff...try again (or don't)
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
@Frobodobo Wth does it mean "watered down"?? It's not a legal term, It means nothing for the laws!! Stop spouting nonsense!

@Frobodobo Bunch of bullmanure...
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
@Brink the truth is that no company need to defend their IPs from fan made games (or other stuff), those that make it are just over-protective.

Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
@Luigisghost669 usually the developers write at the beginning of the game that that Is NOT a product made by Nintendo. What customers do they lose??

Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
@PcTV no, you are one of those who doesn't understand what a fan game made by fans for fans is!
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
@PcTV of course, because Nintendo is a multi billion company... Again please don't embarrass yourself further.
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
@ArmenianJedi13 yeah, we know that, but sometimes they could just good things happen...

Nintendo can't lose their trademarks, not even in a million of years, don't be silly.

@sanderev app store is a bit too generic, aspirine is such a peculiar case, and what happened to Google??

@sanderev when??
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?

Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
@sanderev So then why Sony has not made a Sonic game? There are plenty of original fan made Sonic games out there, you can't even Imagine how many!
