Dev Who Worked 10 years On Fan-Remake Of Metroid2 Has No Hard Feelings About Metroid Samus Returns

Metroid Released on the NES 30 years ago today, 15th of August, and with the E3 announcement that Metroid II would be remade as Metroid Samus Returns for the Nintendo 3DS we turned our attention towards Milton Guasti, the developer who spent about 10 years working on AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). Shortly after releasing the remade game in 2016, he received a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) from Nintendo. We wondered how he felt about this and what he’s been doing since.

Definitely a good sport. His game did look really good though. I'm going to have to pick up "Metroid Samus Returns".

They did allow him to let it out into the wild. Given publicity little to no chance of anyone else re-releasing it and trying to clam it as theirs.

They didn't "allow" anything. They filed the claim as soon as they found out about the project.
Nice damage control, fanboy.

Godmars2902503d ago

Didn't they know about it years before it was published?

Fanboy?

SinkingSage2503d ago

No, they didn't, read the article.

Fanboy for defending a company's bad practices.
And don't give me the "they have to protect their IP crap", because SEGA doesn't take down sonic fan games, actually they went ahead and hired people who did, one of whom is the lead programmer on Sonic Mania.

20 years of uncontrolled fan content, and they have not lost the IP, they haven't sued over it either.

Would have been mean to bide their time for 8 years or so and let him work on it. Then do a seize and desist afterwards 😛 either way, it's publically available now. Just not Through his own sources.

Isn’t this is how most PC users feel? That is why they have their head far up a motherboards socket, they fear the world and escape to 0’s and 1’s; thank god for nerds who fear outside or we wouldn’t have games /s

I’d rather devs took their time instead of trying to kill themselves trying to meet strict deadlines. Games end up better that way.
