i was thinking about making a very nice metroid prime-based game, but from what i gathered, the person who was working on metroid online here was warned with copywrite issues and discontinued it. what was it that made him/her discontinue it, and if i base it on metroid, will i have the same copywrite issues if mine is freeware? |

If what you say is true, that's a total of three games that were told by Nintendo to stop pl0x. Just don't do it. Go something original. Twist the original to make something original. |

Seriously? I've warned people around here about this many times, but I never actually thought it would happen. |

*thinking* I'd actually feel nice bout myself if Nintendo or Sony contacted me over copy right issues. #I'd live to say Yeah, that company... I actually once threatened that company big time! Spice up the story a little, you know, that they were so spooked by my works that they even offered me a job on their new project but with a really cool and dramatic expression on my face I told them ...Sorry, I work alone..., put on my sun glasses and walked away. . this could be a million dollar story to tell . **Starting a remake of God of War! Yipee! |

I honestly think so too. . Koning Stoma, right? Somebody needs to have a word with him. |

I know for a fact the U3D Zelda game was discontinued because the creator was specifically asked by Nintendo to stop. Don't disregard things as bullshit. |

Nintendo definitely has the right to and a good reason to send such requests. If such projects would be finished and would become successful to some extent, this would be a heavy violation of copyrights and trademarks with notable damage. It is better to hint at this early, before the developer has invested a lot of time, the damage is done and a law suit can be hardly avoided. |

Then what about all the hundreds of "Zelda: Link to the past" clones and remakes there have been released by fans? Sure it's an old game, but so is Ocarina Of Time which U3D Zelda was based on. |

I believe some people have succeeded at asking game companies for permission when making fan games. |

So does this mean all these guys, Stoma, Zelda dude, etc planned to get their remake products onto the shelves, i.e sell them? Is that the reason why they were contacted or is it just anyone working on a remake (even non commercial) that would have issues with nntendo? |

You think wrong, Steve Jobs was excellent at doing that exactly, now look at Samsung with their galaxy tab which looks exactly like an IPad. (or all those other machines which look like (older gen) IPods.) |

Aren't fan made products supposed to be harmless? |

Well, if someone would make a good game with some player base you could argue that the game company is losing revenue since the game company came up with the idea, however a lot of game companies see it as free advertisement. |
