Back in Your Hole

Ninty are clearly taking time to make a new metroid that establishes Prime as canon, undoes other M and casts it into the abyss and makes samus' ultra badass I will murder everything you love for money status restored.

Honestly you would think that with Nintendos historic attitude to unlisenced ports/remakes of its old games that fans wouldnt bother knowing they would get served a C&D the moment Nint peeked out of its own rectum.

The way copyright law works, they're obligated to.
If you "Fail to defend your copyright", that "Failure" can be used as evidence against you in future copyright cases. Companies are forced to be insanely overzealous with their application of copyright.

I wasnt talking about Nint's copyright obligation, i was talking about the fans apparent willingness to devote time and energy to a project that could be shot down at a moments notice.

All Nintendo did was take down the link on the project's official download page. The game is still easily available through bittorrents, which the creators set up at the same time they officially released the game because they KNEW Nintendo would do this, they just didn't know how quickly. If anything, Nintendo drew more attention to the game. Would this comic or conversation exist if Nintendo had simply ignored it?
