    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.

      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.

      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.

        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.

        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.
