ElectroVagrant, do games w Freejam studio closing with Robocraft and Robocraft 2 shutting down

Then they were able to take that game away from me and replace it with something I liked far less. This is inevitable for any live service game; if not replacing the game you liked with something else, then its removal altogether so that no one can play it anymore in any form. It sucks.

This is a good, concise way to describe one of the subtler problems with these types of game. At least with some of them, if they’re sold without DRM, you can keep the version you like, but more often than not, those are few and far between.

Man, Robocraft and Loadout were both great games I enjoyed back in the day, and they both crash and burned a few years later. A real shame.

Man. When I was younger I couldn’t get into Star Fox 64 on my 3DS. Maybe I should give it a try again. Is it the kind of thing where the PC Port is the better way to play it or should I play it on original hardware?

Nintendo lawsuit incoming in 3…2…1…

I have no idea why people do this.

I mean, I like a number of old Nintendo games too. But I just cannot imagine putting this kind of work into something like this, where it’s almost certainly going to get taken down.

The worst is when people do things like create unauthorized sequels to games and that gets taken down. Like, you could have gone and created your own game with your own setting.

reddit.com/…/what_are_some_of_the_metroid_fan_gam…

Like, I like the Metroid series too. But if all the people who like the series enough to have created unauthorized sequels in the series had just used a different setting and characters to make their Metroidvania, we could have had a fantastic unencumbered series.

C126,

Sometimes you’re just passionate about something and want to share it. Maybe they were passionate about that specific setting. Ever hear of fan fiction? Luckily, you can’t really take things down once they’re online. They can always be found, the more popular the easier it is to find.

Mojave,

Just cuz Nintendo is a company run by bitch-made cum guzzlers doesn’t mean its fans should bend over like that. It used to be that kids loved Mario and sonic, so they made a shit ton of Mario and sonic flash games. That’s good, creative, harmless, and gets attention because of the brand fandom.

mesamunefire,

Plus the forks are not on GitHub and other copies.

SkunkWorkz,

Ship of Harkinian, OoT port, has been up for a long while already. and the Mario and OoT decomp have been up on GitHub for years. Because non of them are distributing Nintendo’s copyrighted or trademarked work. The user has to provide the rom themselves. Nintendo has no legal ground to sue this project since they aren’t breaking any law, unlike many of the fan projects who are using Nintendo’s IP unauthorized.

Don’t tell Nintendo I played Star Fox today at 120fps.

But where is Star Goose?

I miss that one.

I hear Nintendo's alarm sounding the launch of legal nukes.

Grass,

the ocarina of time and majoras mask decomp ports are still up for quite some time now.

They probably will try eventually though…

That smoke you see in the distance is actually steam rising from Japan’s numerous nuclear plants as they prepare for the incoming demand from the armada of fax machines about to be turned on at Nintendo’s lawyer’s offices.

samus12345,

I like to play the Ocarina of Time port on my Switch for extra “pissing off Nintendo” points.

Revan343,

The port is legal. The trick is that it doesn’t include any Nintendo IP-- you have to supply your own ROM

Legality never factored in before, why should it now?

stephen01king,

It’s always factored in. Can you show me examples where legality was not factored in?

Nice to finally have a date. I played the demo a good few months ago and it was pretty great, can’t wait for the full release.

Offtopic story: Sometime ago I needed 2 gamepads. So I went to the mall and bought 2 Acer gamepads for 35€ each. I unboxed them right after I left the shop. They were wired and looked and felt exactly like 5€ chinese gamepads. So I immediately returned them and went to another shop in the same mall where I got a pair of Speedlink Rait controllers for 22€ each. They feel very well-built, just like an xbox controller and are supported by all OS and console emulators out of the box. It basically shows up as a Switch Pro controller, so it’s perfectly supported by Yuzu.

It is the Steam Deck without the screen. Just the controller I ever want

All I hope for is that the Controller fits well in my long thin hands - like the fat Steam Controller does.

With the right joystick in place, it’s certainly a product I may buy. The Steam Controller trackpad was not a sufficient alternative for joystick input when most games designed input with the right joystick in mind. Aiming and camera control with a variable and non-tactile deadzone and input default of trackpad camera controls has always been annoying to me.
