"Our new focus on expanding our IP to new avenues has forced us to reevaluate our policies towards fan projects and parodies. We wish to distance use of our characters from politically motivated organizations without our proper approval."
This move, Nintendo confirmed, was done specifically because of PETA's attempts at using their characters in 'fair use' fan games and has recently been expanded even further to take down YouTube videos and fan games that Nintendo may harm their branding. Including YouTube videos and fan games.
"We are experimenting on how best to deal with online streaming and fan made content. We therefore have no reason to allow for profit projects like Another Metroid 2 Remake to see a release or YouTube channels like The Bit Block to be allowed to cover our content."
>for profit projects >Another Metroid 2 Remake in what way?
John Sullivan
I've always hated PETA. Also, I'm not a fan of Nintendo.
Mason Martin
>PETA still relevant? No, but they still commit terrorist acts all the time anyway
David Butler
dude is this real
Zachary Peterson
Twitch Played Pokemon played ads on a stream.
That's enough to qualify it as a 'for profit' project.
All those YouTube videos you saw shilling the game were a big reason as to why it was taken down in the first place.
Jeremiah Cook
Not real, but hey. Any excuse to bash PETA.

>It's an "OP posts a fake article link" episode I hate these episodes.
Daniel Ward
>nintendo doesn't get fanhacks and things like this is free publicity
Oh well. In their hipocrisy they will probably take out ideas from fangames to their games to make profit. Sun and Moon's idea for latin america theme was already something from a fanhack
Christian Hill
You idiots really need to click before you comment.

>nintendo took down pokemon prism Damn... Well with them removing the metroid fan game from the VGA's it don't surprise me anymore
I realize the link is fake, but it's pretty funny to see Nintendofags go from "Nintendo has every right to do this! DOWN WITH ALL THOSE SHITTY FANGAMES!" to "Fuck PETA! They made based Nintendo take down our awesome fangames!"
Carson Perez
>Giving IGN views
Adam Brooks
>This one fangame used the real world as reference so if Nintendo uses the same thing as reference then they are taking it from a fangame Sure, whatever you say. Sun and Moon didn't even use Latin America as a theme.
Caleb Fisher
Well neither one of those would be wrong minus the shitty part.
Leo Bailey
>forced us no it didn't
Dominic Sanchez
I've seen people pull out the old "Well those games were shit anyway, so I'm glad Nintendo took them down"
