For being an avid conspiracy theorist you really have overlooked some good stuff. Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3, Brawl...

Maybe I just have bad taste in games, I don't know.

The Legend of Zelda: Heart of the Three Kings

Just throwing that out there...
What? I wants some moar Zelda.

Anyway, the only reason I said that was because of that nifty glowy-sword...what's up with that?

PS. Alternatively, The Legend of Zelda: Got Fit Mother?

There's rumors being kicked around that Nintendo might pass off more franchises to Rare considering how well they treated Metroid Prime, this might be the fruit of that.

But seriously, what the fuck was that, Nintendo? Pointedly specifying that you know we want Mother 3 and then just slapping us in the face with your cock being all "Naw, that's totally not it."

Yeah fuck NoA. Now hurry up and finish with that translation patch, Starmen.net, before Nintendo remembers that they have to be assholes and fuck the project over! (I swear to god if Nintendo C&D's this when it's like at 99% complete I will pull a Spike Spiegel and raze hell in NoA's headquarters with nothing but a handgun and three hand grenades...)

Oh yeah and the announcement? Probably for either a Legend of Zelda or a Fire Emblem game if I had to guess....

I don't think NoA has any legal grounding on a translation ROM hack getting shut down. It's effectively a mod, which are mostly legit.

It wasn't like Halogen or Chrono Resurrection, which was making a game from scratch in a current franchise by independent programmers and thus 'stealing' a game that the official designers could make.

Jagos · 06-28-2008, 04:05 AM

mods are legal?
If I remember correctly, they are "reverse engineering" and can still be shut down.

Haven't tried SPM yet, but Brawl's already been sold off. MP3 was good though, and Twilight Princess was alright. What worries me is that those games all did really well, and they're first party (actually not sure whether SPM is first party or not, sadly).

I agree that the king game for the Wii is more likely, because I really don't want KH3 to be for the Wii anyway, but we still have the question of what the hell they said "Mother 3" for. Unless they're just being jackasses, in which case...well, we're all Mother fans, so I'm sure we could all just go and storm their gates.

Actually, there's really no mention of it being a Wii game anyway. Maybe it's Nintendo's weird way of showing us 365/2(I know that's not the right goddamn number, whatever) Days?

Mirai Gen · 06-28-2008, 04:45 AM

I didn't say they were legal, I said they have less legal ground. They'd have even less incentive to shut it down anyway.

Mods generally don't take away from the game's profit, and sometimes contribute to it (KOTOR II's Team Gizka project for example, or any of The Sims fan community mods), but as for a patch for a three-year old japanese-only release for a handheld, out-of-date console, that turns it into English so people can play it on their PCs, yeah, I don't think you're going to hurt the sales.

The only exception to rules like that is stuff like the aforementioned Halogen, where they shut it down specifically because they were already in the process of making a Halo RTS and it would really kill their sales if there was a free version free to play.

It's very ambiguous and they could get away with a C+D if they wanted to, but there's still not much of a point, considering most fans of Mother'd buy the crap out of a USA release. However, it's very moot since Nintendo's made it perfectly Goddamn clear they don't plan on bringing Mother 3 to the US.

I've given up all hope on a US Mother 3 or, god help me, a Mother 3-pack for the DS. I think it's just because Nintendo Power is a bunch of assholes, but being totally fair, if they are releasing Mother 3 to the US, this is the perfect time to completely blindside me.

If GTA has taught me anything, it's that if a sequel doesn't SPECIFICALLY have a number in the title, it doesn't count towards the numbering system.

Thus, The Legend of Zelda Three. Link is a king now, or something.
