Nintendo:
>Takes down AM2R
>Steals content and ideas from AM2R to their 3ds game (even though this is also a remake of metroid 2)?
Could it done the same with other Nintendo fangames, like one day Nintendo would take down super smash flash 2 and super smash bros crusade and Melee Light and along with other smash bros fan games and then steal their content and ideas to their smash bros game.
>Steals content and ideas from AM2R
OP
>is a ragin cajun flaming faggot
>Steals ideas from other anons to their Sup Forums topic (even though these same arguments have been made before?)
Well, bump.
Shut the fuck up about AM2R
>oh geez I wish Nintendo would gives us more Metroid
>>Nintendo starts work on Metroid II remake
>>Fan remake comes out with all of it's assets stole from Zero Mission
>>Well we have to protect out copy right
>Grrr wtf Nintendo!! Why did you take it down? Even though you let him make it for 10 years and let him release it before asking him to stop I hate you!
>>Nintendo shows off Federation Force and mentions it was only 1 of the 2 Metroid games they were working on
>Wow fuck you Nintendo!
>>Nintendo finally shows off the other Metroid game and shows why it asked the AM2R Dev to stop
>>Nintendo Also announces a new Prime
>Wow fuck you Nintendo! This fan remake that uses stolen content is much better then you're completely different game!!!
AM2Rfags everyone
OP is a faggot
...
From the way the situation looks, Nintendo wasn't even aware of AM2R until it started getting reported on gaming news sites and gained traction on social media. Since they were already 2 years into developing their own Metroid 2 remake they immediately shot it down.
Nintendo does not need to protect copyright the same way they do intellectual property, so that claim is bogus. But they also didn't intentionally let AM2R release, that's not in their interest and there's only been an increase in their legal action against fan-games since AM2R. They just didn't pay any attention to the thing until it was directly competing with their own Metroid game releasing that August and when it became mainstream enough for even Nintendo's lawyers to notice it.
pray tell, what ideas does it steal from AM2R?
How did they steal content from a game that's a remake of an already existing game they made?
>Steals content and ideas from AM2R
I can't believe DoctorM64 is fucking dead.
>What actually happened is bait
AM2Rfags everyone
>AM2R fags actually believe Nintendo is stealing from them
It's clearly the other way round, are people really that deluded?
Samus Returns is the SAME FUCKING GAME as AM2R.
It's pretty obvious that Samus Returns only exists because of AM2R.
You must be literally blind if you think Samus Returns looks anything like AM2R.
They legally have the right. Sorry that it blasts your booty, but that's Nintendo for you. Maybe these devs should make their own games instead of spending years making bootlegs of applied trademarks and promoting them online.
>All that shit regarding Smash
Every fan made Smash Bros is heavily influenced by Melee standards. Sack of Shit doesn't like that form of Smash Bros gameplay so they would never just take a fan game's ideas and make it their own. He'll just stick to his casual mindset and add 20 FE characters instead. So don't talk nonsense like that, I doubt that would be a concern anyways.
>>Steals content and ideas from AM2R
This is why no one takes you AM2Rbabbies seriously
Replace Sakurai with someone else.
Samefaggotry will get you nowhere.
Post tubes!
Did someone say cylinders?
Why the fuck would anyone waste their time on fanmade games in the first place? The majority of them aren't very good.
...
Hmm, I'd like to know where I committed this act you speak of, since that was my first post in this thread. Or are you assuming I'm the faggot OP? In the event that's the case, take a look.
>Implying Sakurai would allow it when Iwata himself tried to port Melee to the Wii if Sakurai refused to make Brawl.
>Steals content and ideas from AM2R
if only
>>Game with completely different level layout and gameplay elements is the same as a fan remake that's 1:1 with stolen assets
It really makes you think
...
Why do metroid threads constantly alternate between shit and somewhat decent?
shut your mouth you pony boy
Because people cling to a singular game instead of enjoying the whole series.
>Inb4 >>enjoying Other M
You know what I mean
Why is every technologically advanced species in Metroid so retarded?
>x parasites on SR388
>chozo create a nearly indestructible parasite to eat the x parasite
Why would you use your genius to create a bio weapon with a mind of its own?
babby samus is cute
Those eyes!
>tfw you will never cuddle her, pack her lunch and drive her to school
Why live
so much falseflagging
am2r was taken down less than a year ago so it's likely that Samus Returns was in development when they took it down.
>steal ideas
>from almost a 1:1 fan remake
>While Samus returns is not even a 1:1 remake and is more a reimagining of the original game. The map has nothing to do with the original game and new mechanics are brought.
Nice try faggot.
The lengths people will go to throat nintendo's cock is absolutely insane.
Hyper Metroid is better than AM2R anyway
"my husband adam, miscarried child"
Because the silly story automatically makes the actual game not good, right?
Nah, just poking fun at it.
Ayo I wanna get into metroid, how's the order of games goes again? I'm playing Zero Mission right now.
So it's Return of Samus then Super Metroid then Prime Trilogy then Fusion? Should I just wait for this or just go to AM2R?
>people actually shit talk AM2R
This is why no one likes Sup Forums.
I would try out the original Metroid 2 first then play AM2R
It goes
Zero Mission > Prime Trilogy > Return of Samus > Super > Fusion
If you wanna play a fangame go ahead with AM2R. Otherwise its fine to skip 2 to return to it, the story is summerized at the start of Super anyhow. The order is correct though
SeePlay the GB version or wait for the 3DS remake. 2 is covered in the beginning of 3(Super). Play official versions then try out AM2R if you still care
Samus Returns looks fun! fun!
There's literally no reason to play the GB ver over AM2R.
>some guys in their basement make a fangame with a budget of 5 dollars
>Nintendo can't even match the quality of said fangame even though they have billions of dollars and thousands of developers at their every beck and call
That's my main issue. And no, don't tell me to "wait until it comes out". I've seen enough rancid stinkers from Nintendo to know when a game is gonna be seriously flawed. I'm sick of giving bloated corporate entities the benefit of the doubt when they don't deserve it.
Thanks senpaitachi
>Steals content and ideas from AM2R to their 3ds game
Good, I like what AM2R did and more stuff from it like one button morph ball should be stolen
That space jump desperately needs the blur effect thing from the other games.
the sprites not taken from nintendo's games look PC flash game tier
to play Nintendo(the creator of the series fyi) original vision and not some fans? yes. Play AM2R after you played the games made by Nintendo then AM2R if you still care and want to see how a fan tackles it
This parry shit is fucking stupid.
Oh, well, go ahead then.
>the sprites not taken from nintendo's games look PC flash game tier
And since even the lowest quality PC flash game surpasses every single Nintendo game out there, how is that a bad thing?
>Nintendo(the creator of the series fyi) original vision
AM2R is the creator's original vision cause its a 1:1 remake of fucking Metroid 2.
One Button Morph Ball was from Metroid Prime
>its a 1:1 remake of fucking Metroid 2.
So then why are you saying to play GB ver when there is a better ver?
You're not telling him to play NES Metroid over Zero Mission.
I think it's optional so dont worry
Kill yourself, AM2R faggot
It better be optional. All it takes is one enemy, just one, that can't be killed without it, and I'm instantly trashing the game.
Then don't use it you fucking crybaby.
>2 comes after the entire prime trilogy
It does.
How do you not know the Metroid timeline?
>who cares if its cancerous shit, its optional XD
Fucking kill yourself.
>>Well we have to protect out copy right
Dipshit drones keep repeating this bullshit, this is not how law works.
I think the main issue alot of people have is that they wasted time and money on a mechanic that already trivializes the entire combat system by making it "press x to win" tier. It's retardedly easy to counter every single enemy we've seen, especially when the treehouse streamers were more than capable of doing it, and they have the intelligence of a valve playtester.
Combine that with the aeion abilities that trivialize everything else about metroid (a button that auto-finds all hidden collectibles, a button that instantly restores all your health anywhere and any time, a button that instakills all non-bosses) and you've got a game that's guaranteed to be a hallway simulator and nothing more. When I ignore all of the casual trash, I'm left with nothing else because they forgot to put anything else in.
Word of god, that's where the games are placed. Hunters is placed between Prime and Prime 2, and FUCKING SOCCER takes place after Prime 3. Prime 4 is supposedly going to be taking place after FUCKING SOCCER as well.
The series is stuck in prequel hell.
Why does everyone have a problem with the Melee Counter?
I understand that Other M left a bad taste in everyone's mouth, but this isn't quite the same as that. I think it's an interesting addition. It could be a little less cinematic when countering Metroids, but you can't have it all I guess.
Yeah, they're wrong that it's about protecting copyright. It's about protecting their branding, which is far more important, something you autistic NEETs don't understand.
>The series is stuck in prequel hell.
Metroid: Dread never.
>>Steals content and ideas from AM2R
>even though all the footage that's been shown for the game differs severely from AM2R
Stop being a piss baby. It's fine if you don't like this game but don't blatantly lie about shit you know is wrong
They aren't protecting shit.
Most normal people got super pissed off with Nintendo when they axed AM2R.
Metroid 2 was the only reasonable game for Nintendo to remake, and so they were probably already building this new game when AM2R came out, which is why they gave a shit (especially considering MercurySteam had been pitching Metroid shit to Nintendo years before the announcement).
(Why was Metroid 2 the only game it would be reasonable to remake? They already remade 1 by way of MZM and the few remaining fans they had would be furious, myself included, if they thought they could improve on actual perfection by remaking Super Metroid)
>actual perfection
>super
Super Metroid can't be perfect when romhacks make it better.
It trivializes every single counter, that's the problem. You should never be allowed to interrupt an enemy's attack at any point. Samus isn't about le ebin god of war takedown button mashing. She's supposed to be an agile warrior dodging monsters firing acid and plasma in her direction. Sure, her power suit is strong, but it's not herculean. She shouldn't be able to singlehandedly drop a 500 ton monster effortlessly.
It's honestly no better than a god of war that's the size of a mountain, but it dies in a few quick time events.
>tfw like AM2R
>still going to buy Samus Returns
>also have pic related preordered
I pity you for not being able to have fun.
that doesnt matter! fun is what matters!
On the bright side think of all the new speed running tactics people can make
Which is funny because AM2R is a better game than most of the things Nintendo publishes. They could just make it official, have it as a free download on the eShop and get a bunch of goodie points among their consumerbase as Good Guy Nintendo for zero effort. All it would require is an ounce of common sense.
You forgot one thing
>the contrarians that infest Sup Forums defend Other M and call it the best game purely out of concentrated spite
Sup Forums's been like this in general for the last 3-4 years at least. It's a damn shame
I bet you're the kind of person that bitches about things like the Kid Mode in that Spiderman PS1 game.
I never played that game.
I really dislike how zoomed-in it is. It's like those GBA Sonic games, can't see shit ahead of you!
...
Play the original Metroid 2 (or at least for an hour or so if you get bored with it) and then play AM2R. Samus Returns seems like it's still an option given how different it is compared to AM2R.
brand protection in gaming is only for most retarded, normie consumer who isn't able to differentiate a fan game from an actual published game. Since those normie retards and kids don't even know what AM2R is it doesn't matter at all.
>She's supposed to be an agile warrior dodging monsters firing acid and plasma in her direction.
Too bad in most Metroid games you can just stand there and tank whatever a boss throws at you unless you're doing a low % run or something.
That's not happening. Sakamoto hates speedrunning. That's why he specifically put in countermeasures against it in Metroid: Other M, and even Metroid Fusion. Zero Mission also had some preventative measures to stop speedrunning, but not to the same extent. Something about "ruining his artistic vision" last I recall.
...
>Hates speedrunning
>Games reward you for completing them in under 2 hours
>and even Metroid Fusion. Zero Mission also had some preventative measures to stop speedrunning
>he doesn't know about 15% runs
That's why a good Metroid game would be challenging. We gave old Metroids a pass on this because of hardware and time limitations, but it's 2017, they shouldn't be making these mistakes anymore. The fact that, in Samus Returns, you ONLY take one tank of damage from a zeta is pathetic. It's disgusting really. They're not even that hard to dodge, how casual do you have to be to need that much of crutch? At least in AM2R you can modify enemy damage to do as much as you want.
That likely wasn't his decision. You can also see Samus in her zero suit if you get 100% collection.
>AM2R steals from Nintendo
>Nintendo shuts them down
>Since those normie retards and kids don't even know what AM2R is
Are you kidding? When it came out it got a lot of promotion, plus is is STILL getting updates.
