As long as Nintendo actually does something with the IPs they're taking down I can't complain too much as long as they make the games.

I wonder how many people playing and downloading the game actually own the original game.
It's on the 3DS virtual console. Even though it has some issues, it's still fun. And the Spider Ball gives it a neat gimmick that hasn't appeared in any other official 2D Metroid.
It's fucking ridiculous how terrible the VC lineup is for the 3DS.Thats definitely where I'll pick it up ! 3DS is an amazing VC machine, even if Nintendo doesnt actually support it much lol
"Out of touch" sounds like making their worst selling home console ever.
Nintendo is just butthurt that someone else made a better Metroid game than they did.
This is such a weird statement. Why would someone buy the Wii U if they don't like what Nintendo's doing right now?Speaking of that, I wonder how many people here making constant demands about what Nintendo "must do" to ensure their loyalty have bought a WiiU, or indeed any Nintendo system in the past 20 years.

I bought the Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, DS, and 3DS btw. No Wii U because no Wii U Metroid.
Why do you think the Wii U is their worst selling non-Virtual Boy console?Why would you feel entitled to make demands of a company you don't even financially support? It's fine if you don't want to support them, but it seems odd to spend every hour of every day online yelling about how bad the company is. Just don't support them if you don't like what they're doing.
I'm pretty sure anyone complaining about Metroid is more disappointed it's not 2002 again.Then I'm not talking about you? I'm talking about the people who desperately want it to be 1991 again.
What percentage of people downloading AM2R for free do you believe would go and buy a boxed copy for $40+ and the associated hardware required to play it?
You have literally no basis to assert that as a fact.

Personally, given the way the fandom has acted over the past year and a half, there is no game series that I would like to die harder than Metroid.
Nailed it.I don't understand why you'd make a comment like this. Even if Federation Force had been a good game instead of a merely passable one, it actively contravenes the Metroid ethos of a solitary hunter-killer using her wits against a hostile environment with a team of space police using teamwork skills in various arenas. It's chalk and cheese, and I think people who thought highly of the Metroid brand as a coherent identity have every right to be upset when that identity is so badly misused. Even if the discontent had been too hostile, that wouldn't legitimize the death of a game series which very clearly has enormous potential to deliver games of the same quality as Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Prime 2. The only reason I can think that anyone would say what you have just said is that if they were so attached to Nintendo for partisan reasons that they ignored ultimately the only thing that matters to most people is quality games that appeal to their tastes, and any company that fails to produce those is of course going to do poorly.

Because people have been unbelievably hostile about a video game company ever since FF's announcement? I find it incredibly irritating.
Nintendo clearly has no interest in making more Metroid games, but there's a loud subset of fans that are only interested in more Metroid games.
Somebody hasn't been following Nintendo's decision-making over the past few years. They haven't exactly been killing it concerning knowing what fans want.Because people have been unbelievably hostile about a video game company ever since FF's announcement? I find it incredibly irritating.

People ask why it is only Nintendo doing this, but the reason is quite obvious; they're the only one with properties worth making fan games for so they're the only one with this problem.

I mean, have you even seen a Blinx the Cat fan game before lol
This is incredibly true, and I'm surprised no one has brought it up yet.
Or they would if they weren't too busy diving into money pits Scrooge McDuck-style.

Nintendo doesn't make good Metroid games anymore, so they seem pretty comparable.Valve doesn't make video games anymore, and Sega doesn't make good Sonic games anymore, so it's not really surprising that they've embraced fan games.

I don't think you can DMCA fan translations because the translation is owned by the author that wrote it. It's probably the .exe file or whatever that overwrites the the script files in the game that give grounds for DMCA.You can definitely DMCA fan translations. Tomato spoke about the possibility around the time of the patch's release, and the translation includes an ass covering disclaimer when you boot it up.

What percentage of Metroid fans do you think are buying Federation Force ?
...
I'm not sure why you're insisting a 16-bit indie release would be a boxed $40 game.
...
If AM2R were polished up into a cheap eshop release, it would absolutely do well.
...
I'm dead certain a $15 eshop release of AM2R would crush FF in sales. You'd have to perform some serious mental contortions to believe otherwise.
Right, so you don't actually want a new 2D Metroid title from Nintendo.
You want a 'remaster' of a GB game.
waiting on the left bro, pass that shit already
Right, so you don't actually want a new 2D Metroid title from Nintendo.

And you don't want to pay $40 retail (the price point for Federation Force which you're determined to compare to) for it because in your head its a $15 indie download only title.
e:
Because the reason AM2R is an "indie" title is because its ripped a susbtantial amount of assets, gameplay mechanics and level design directly from Nintendo.
An actual new title is significant work.

Not sure if you've actually played Metroid II/AM2R, but claiming it wasn't significant work to make is like saying Zero Mission was easy to make because it was just Metroid 1 remade.
The comparison between FF and AM2R was invited.
Maybe Nintendo should've given Metroid fans a rom dump, like Kirby and Mario got on their anniversaries.
Were there any reused assets between Zero Mission and Fusion? Not to go down that rabbit hole though...

I just don't see how Nintendo would ever release a $15 title with SNES quality sprites and no new assets as a new mainline entry in a franchise.

Yeah man not like Sonic has spawned any fangames.
Not like a fanmade remake of Half life is on Steam right now.
Nah.
You know if I were Nintendo instead of shutting these guys down I'd take them aside have some private conversations and come to an agreement where Nintendo will publish and sell the game. I think everyone wins in that scenario.
Like, i get that with how Intellectual Property law works you need to actively defend it otherwise you do have a chance of losing it but there has to be other options rather than suing and serving your fans DCMA notices.
