![]() ![]() The cynical part of me wonders if it is a PR move but enough of that one.Ĭlick to expand.There is no short answer. Whenever we see these fan games get smacked down I do have to wonder why people putting that much effort in would not just do their own original game. ![]() youkai watch) but it is what it is I guess. I don't know why people stopped trying to better the formula (on the GBA we had great stuff like medabots rpg, robopon 2, demi kids dark version and a few other things besides, for the DS it faded away somewhat and by the 3ds we had. In some places and for very specific things then ideas can be protected (some of the stuff the tetris people did against people making similar games for instance, though I still think they were dicks about it), for the most part though ideas are just that and there is nothing Nintendo or anybody else can really claim here. ![]() If you mean I want to make a game wherein you collect entities for your team and battle against others doing the same then that is not something they own, not even close and there is next to nothing they can claim over that. If you mean copying levels and out and out copying the mechanics then yeah that would fall under the previous stuff. There might be a fair use path with a spoof or a satire but you would have to work fairly hard to make it that. Sometimes rules might be bruised with various injections but "fan games" by and large would be a step too far.
