Yeah, I wouldn't mind minor or dead franchises getting some games like this.

But really, the last time a Nintendo franchise got a really good fangame, Nintendo took it upon themselves to best it and they did (and the dude who made the fangame now works at Moon Studios), so nah.

Yes, but what if somewhere there's a group of people who do a fangame so good that it changes their mind? :)

They'd have to do something really innovative because if the best a bunch of fans can do is competently emulate what has already been established then Nintendo could just do that themselves.  And if some fans get to the point where they can create a great fan game then they should just make their own unique IP and rake in some cash.  Sonic Mania is a different story though because it's not hard to upstage the Sonic Team since they can barely achieve mediocrity at this point.  The people in-charge there are either over-the-hill or so bored with Sonic that they're just going through the motions.
