No need to snipe at people for pointing out Nintendo's actual history with fan projects.
It's possible that this ends up being either a rare exception or the start of a new (bad) direction they take, but it was entirely reasonable to suggest that AM2R would be fine based on how they've previously acted in regards to fan games.
if people had played this more than ten minutes it would have been obvious to them that this would happen. it is literally too good for them to ignore it
when i booted up AM2R and started playing it i was SHOOK. it is unfathomable to me that a remake of a game that i found so incomprehensible when i first played it could be upgraded like this BY FANS. theres no reason to buy the original metroid 2 on whatever virtual console mess they release it on after this. it is that polished. it got so much word of mouth because its just that fuckin good man. how many fangames do you even see get press on game sites like this one did? it even has an OT here. like it might as well have been an official release and most people would have been none the wiser lol
of course theyre going to try to cut this thing off at the knees in some way, even if they dont go directly after the dev. this game is competitive af. should give the dude a job tbh
inb4 blah blah they cant give him a job precedent blah blah I SAID WHAT I SAID
