| ExplodingBlock said: So that Super Mario 64 HD fan game that guy made was awesome,but Nintendo decided to try to make them take it down due to copyright infringement Even though the game is completely free and they are not making any money from it... So the question is, will Nintendo try to take down Mother 4? Mother 4 is looking to be one of the best fan made games ever, it's been in development for years, and they are just doing it to please the Mother fanbase They are doing this on their own time with their own resources, not profiting from it at all, they won't even accept donations Do you think Nintendo will try to take it down? It seems like they might, but I really hope they don't, the creators are putting ALOT of work into this game |
It's hard to say what will happen. Perhaps Nintendo looks into each of these, prior to any takedown notice. In which case, maybe they'll see what these people have done, go "this is actually pretty good, maybe we can give a final push to get it up to scratch, and then have it released officially", and rather than just taking it down, they could make it the "true" Mother 4.
Not that I expect that to happen, but I do think Nintendo would be smart to start deputising quality fan developers into their game development, specifically for franchises that Nintendo aren't willing to take big risks on (like Mother, Ice Climbers, etc).
