If anything the DMCA just gave AM2R more publicity and it's just as easily downloadable now as it was before the DMCA.

Kinda sneaky of Nintendo to make their own remake after pulling his.

>>380552334
not a rom hack idiot. Metroid 2 played and looked almost just as bad as the original game on Nes but the remake was designed to look and play like Super Metroid on the Snes. It has new and much more detailed art and even new gameplay mechanics. The remake is legit.

>>380552178

It wasn't that hard, right?

>>380553759
This. I guess you just have to accept that nintendo means business but it's borderline unethical what happened here. I mean, do you believe that Nintendo would've made a Metroid 2 remake if it weren't for AM2R success? I seriously doubt it.

>>380553759
No it was an ass cover. The were catching so much shit negative approval from DCMA'ing him they made this remake as an excuse to make them look more reason, if they actually wanted to remake Metroid 2 on their own accord then they would and should have been remade it. Like back in the fucking GBA/DS era. It's funny now that seeing people go from "Man how could Nintendo shut down a non- profit project of good intent?" to "Oh i see why they did it. They were making a remake of a game no one in particular cared about enough to warrant an official remake all this time! See Nintendo's in the right" This isn't me saying that they had no right to DCMA, this is just me pointing out how quickly the masses switched sides

>>380555449
Sorry for samefagging, but holy shit!
Nintendo didn't even made a completely new 2D Metroid title (after seing this was wanted by fans). They made a fucking REMAKE of METROID 2!

>>380555449
We should get more people to make fan-games of things I like so Nintendo will get off its ass and make new games for them.

People better start making an F-Zero fan game and maybe a Sin and Punishment fan game too.

>>380555735
>they made this remake as an excuse to make them look more reason

You have no idea how game development works. The game is coming out in fucking September. It's been in development for ~two years. If anything it was a coincidence.

>>380552482
So, threaten to sue them like Sega did with that Streets of Rage remake?

That was 6 years ago. With all the new sonic fan projects surfacing almost daily like Greenhill Paradise and Utopia they clearly have changed their stance on the issue. Fucking hell they hired these fan game makers to make their new sonic games. Nintendo needs to take the current sega approach

it was designed to look and play like Zero Mission.

>>380556521
In the ten years the guy had been working on the remake and the 4 years he was getting it ready for public release, that's more than enough time to send the warnings out to him and plan out how to handle a risky PR move such as shutting down a non profit passion project.

>>380557309
The project was receiving next to no publicity until after the release.

>>380552178

>Invest ten years in remaking a game that belongs to someone else. Not just any company, but one who is well known for remaking/selling their old games on their new consoles, and thus, requires them to keep their trademark/patent alive by demonstrating that they actively use and protect that intellectual property.

Sounds like a great idea. I appreciate that people go out of their way to make fan games/remakes like this, but honestly, don't whine when companies protect their IPs.

>>380553759
The game comes out in a few months, do you really think they started development after taking the game down?

>>380556521

It could have existed in a completely different form before, they just reworked it into the M2 remake.

It's gonna be released the same month the fan game was a year ago, I don't think that's a coincidence.

>>380552178
what do they expect to happen? that people wont buy Samus Returns? thats not how people work. All you have to do is make sure SR is "good" and people will play both

For the last time, they pulled AM2R because the actual Metroid 2 could be bought on the Nintendo E-shop store. It wasn't them being ass blasted or anything, it was them protecting their game that they want people to pay money for to play on their E-shop.

>>380554645
Is it finished already or its some beta shit?

Also, how would you rate it compared to other SNES and GBA metroid games?

>>380556814
And Nintendo hasn't made a proper Metroid game in a while either. Sega's at least being smart and allowing fans to do the work for them now.

>>380552178
>and have the people who threatened you make a worse version of the game you made

Stay salty. 3DS always looks like shit while showing stuff.

>>380558909
It came out last year, but got taken down 2 days later by nintendo

I know people hate DMCAs but isn't what they are for? Am2r might have impacted sales.

>>380559829
I can look for a torrent, if it's worth playing ofc.

>>380560130
Good, maybe they could actually make a good game deserving of sales for a change

>AM2R dev is looking forward to Samus Returns.
>"Don't worry, I'll be offended on your behalf."

Except AM2R is a fucking terrible excuse for a Metroid game. There's none of the design polish that Metroid prides itself on and half the game is fucking stolen assets, yet Metroid fans are so fucking starved for action they rabidly defend it.

There is a different between doing it for no reason and for doing it to protect the ip, but I think your just a shitposter.

>>380562585
>your just

grammar son

It makes sense now that they actually did have a remake planned.

Doesn't matter, both games will be good, AM2R was fucking fantastic though.

AM2R got the DMCA last August. If Nintendo made their remake as a response to getting BTFO'd by one of their own fans, they would have had just slightly less than a year to make what we saw at E3. That doesn't sound very plausible to me.

People have been memeing for a 2.5D Metroid/Metroid 2 remake/Prime 4 for about ten years.

They finally get it and then they bitch? I don't really play vidya or come on /v/ anymore but It's good to see you guys still hate video games.

>spend ten years of making game build on franchise you don't own instead of making your own game.
>wonder what are you doing wrong.
Every faggot who makes fan game deserves lawsuits, cause only reason people pay attention to your game it's because it's related to franchise, not because game quality (even if quality is ok)

What am I shilling according to you exactly? I'm not telling you to buy anything. I'm saying you are a moron if you think you can do anything you want with an IP owned by a company. Just because you are "passionate" and care about an IP doesn't mean you can use it how you want to without permission.

>>380560348
Just play it you absolute retard, it's not like your time has any value

>>380553301
You mean one new game
They were too fucking late with this remake for anyone to give a fuck when we already got an excellent one

>>380563180
This new metroid is made by mercurysteam. Do you know who these faggots are? they are the ones who made all three lords of shadow games. Think about it this will be a bad game no matter what. It's even showing early warning signs like qtes andpress x to awesome counters. It's trash

>spend all that time using another IP and going so far to include the name of the series RIGHT there in the title
I mean it wasn't the best of ideas unless this fangame would absolutely fail without the Metroid brand. But that can't be right?

>>380555735
This game was in development for 2 years, remove your tinfoil hat.

My theory is that nintendo was actually worried about AM2R because it was better than whatever they currently had at the moment so they changed their design a bit.

Of course we can't really know because we have no info at all of pre-AM2R nintentroid but I can see it happening

>>380560756
AM2R has the most polish since Prime and Super.

>>380560756
There are literally no stolen assets in the game, except for one room which is a "reference room" to a bunch of sprites from Metroid Fusion.

made a fantastic game, that is witch hunted by nintendo
no matter what you say about AM2R, the game is a love letter for fans, and rendered the original obsolete
and the new remake wont be as good, mark my fucking words

Does anyone have that fan comic where samus gives the kid her bounty after figthing kraid?
