Nintendo have yet another high quality fan game to potentially take down against its creator’s will with “Zelda: Breath of the NES”, which combines the classic top-down Legend of Zelda formula with mechanics from the highly praised Breath of the Wild that will surely be a match made in heaven for Zelda enthusiasts.
A PV of the game in action:
An early demo is officially available now (at least, until it is DMCA-bombed into oblivion).
A bloo bloo bloo. Cry me a fucking river you no talent hack.
Another no-body hobbyist who has so little faith in their ability to making anything good on their own swings their dick around by making a tribute game and then cries when the law happens and expects us to give a s♥♥t or boycott Nintendo.
I’m fucking tired of idiot hobbyists trying to stir up drama-clicks and outrage-downloads because they either know their game is mediocre or literally don’t understand that companies are under legal obligation to protect their trademarked and copyrighted properties.
Finally here!
There is a game coming out soon called Shotgun Legend that might be a bit more legal than this is..
When will they learn to shut the f♥♥k up until its done.
No point. Most of these fan projects go on for years like Pokémon Uranium and Reborn which is still in progress.
They clearly don’t have a problem with them existing, they just also legally need to be seen as protecting their IP so they don’t lose them.
So they wait until it’s complete when they know people will be able to spread it around regardless but they’ll be seen in court as being very protective.
Nintendo is playing the long game unlike most developers these days. Many of them could likely be challenged in court at this point and lose.
They’re trading the legal safety of their projects for a quicker buck while Nintendo intends to make lesser money for losing that free advertising (if you can even count it as lost because people complaining about them is free advertising too, lol) but over a much longer time.
Not only that but as a company who develops quality in general they ensure people aren’t ripped off, getting subpar goods with their IP on them because their trademarks etc. have been stripped from them for not protecting them well enough.
Yes, that can happen and none of us with a brain in our skull want it to for any of the fiction we like.
All in all, it’s good for them and us that while Nintendo don’t seem to much understand the internet, in these cases they clearly understand the Streisand effect.

Take a look at those late 80’s and early 90’s Nintendo IP cartoons (specially the Zelda one) and deliver that “subpar” and “quility” speech again. I dare you. I double dare you!
Long gone? Sure, because things like the modern Megaman, Rabbids Invasion, the Angry Birds cartoons or WakFu are pure caviar quality…
That era is long gone. Look at pacland, qbert or any other videogame cartoon adaptation of 80´s/90´s. Subpar quality was the norm back then.
Seriously. Don’t say a fucking word until it’s finished, then release it onto the inarwebz thus making it impossible for Nintendo to even shut it down.
and don’t forget to release the source code
Kinda hard with these autistic attention whoring monkeys that want an affirmation for their fragile egos.
The fact that irks me is the kids on the internet bitching over a company protecting their IP on something they haven’t given a permission to. It’s fucking retarded. I’m sure Nintendo is still sore from their properly licensed deal with Philips. So then why the hell would they allow some money-mongering s♥♥t-for-brain “fans” that don’t even give a damn about the courtesy of the industry to make a s♥♥t game? Just so other socially inept manatees will suck their dick?
For that — to the developers — good fucking riddance. Do something original rather than riding on someone else’s cock.
Man, that’s a big and word ad hominem attack
“Kinda hard with these autistic attention whoring monkeys that want an affirmation for their fragile egos.”
100% correct
Nintendo is gonna shut this down faster than they shut down Pokemon Prism.
If you’re gonna steal from Nintendo you gotta go under the table – not over the counter and plastering the fact you did it all over the front windows…
