"We All Know How This Will End" - Kirby's Dream Land 2 & 3 Are Getting Unofficially Ported To PC, But Will Nintendo Step In?

You made it look like the quotes were from the dev team, but ok.

That's the question on every fangame / fan remake and it's kinda annoying that the focus is just no longer on the game and rather "will this game still exist in the next few days" and that's just sad and honestly makes me a little mad.

And now from a simple mention from random people who can't help themselves but mention that idea (and being disrespectful as heck) and now journalists just adding further to it it's just wrong.

Someone leaves a lazy and repetitive comment that adds nothing of value to the community. And gets an article that's more about that comment than the project.

Stop👏announcing👏your👏infringement👏before👏you👏release👏it.

This isn’t a prerelease hype cycle sort of situation. Once it’s out there it’s out there, but if it’s NOT out there and you announce it, Nintendo can stop you.

@RextheSheep @LuigiBlood Yeah and it's funny how no one has said this for Super Mario Bros Remastered or any recent examples of Nintendo fan game remakes, but one guy says it about Kirby and then it's doom and gloom. Kirby doesn't even have a president of fangame takedowns anyways.

If you use somebody else's property, you are willingly putting yourself in their hands.

The rom hacks are presumably still out there because one has to source their own copy of the rom.

This probably won't last. But it'll last a lot less if they're foolish enough to take money in any way with relation to the project.

I would be mildly interested to check this out. They're not bad games but I've always vastly preferred the tight fast pace of Kirby's Adventure over the majority of mainline Kirby games. 3 feels like pastel sludge by comparison.

if its reverse enginnered and put the assets separated , nintendo cant do anything.
Look all the recomps and decompilations out there.

It sounds like a good pc port, just hoping it doesn't include anything that can get it dmca'd by Nintendo.

I think at this point it goes without saying the risk there is regarding fan projects based on pre-existing IP, especially from Nintendo. It's worth celebrating these fan projects rather than first questioning how long they will last. A valid concern sure but for Nintendo-based fan projects in particular, it's become a tired cliche that comes off more as disrespectful to several users, including fan project creators. Nevermind the fact that Nintendo actually doesn't take down as many fan projects as people think, with the exception of Pokémon since that franchise is managed differently due to the structure of ownership of that IP in particular.

@breach187

Sadly, I suspect that this is the point: the goal isn't to release a neat fanmade port. The goal is to get publicly martyred for reasons of reputation and personal gratification.

Ugh, people that comment this kind of stuff under every fanmade thing based on Nintendo IP are so annoying. “Ooooooh Nintendo ninjas gonna get ya OOOOOOOOH”, they’re acting like kindergarteners threatening to go tattle to a teacher!

I sometimes forgot there was a third game on SNES but it wasn't on GB. 🤔

@CrispyBagelBites To be fair most Nintendo fans are kids so this isn't totally out of their maturity level.

Now even the articles are doing this?

Good grief, man.

@slider1983 Yeah. It was a very late release, coming out after the the N64, and people (including myself) had really moved on to the new consoles. I loved the first two games, with Dream Land being one of the first games I can recall actually beating, but I completely missed the third when it came out. Very pretty game.

@no_donatello I think it's because it wasn't on GB and then there's the NES game I forgot there was a third game not on GB.

@RextheSheep
The internet sucks these days. I really miss the forums back in the 2000's, when likes/dislikes weren't a thing, plus there was zero ability for YT Content creators to heart your comment. People were usually just trying to have geniune conversations about the things they enjoyed etc, from their desktop PC's or Laptops which weren't a barrier compared to the phones of today.

Too many TiqTok brain rotting attention seekers writing down dribble from their tiny screen'd cumbersome smart phones trying to shoot for top comment, while plugging their social media account. F*** I miss the 90's. lol

toxic angle for this article, we're all sick of "Nintendo Ninjas" talk for every single fan project ever made
it's boilerplate that pollutes the internet and damages our communities

@Damo yeah well I'd argue you're demoralizing the people who work on these projects with unneeded anxiety and are having a chilling effect on people making cool new things for the community
it's myopic and it poisons the well that people come to this site to drink from
for crying out loud think about how it feels from the perspective of the people working on these projects, it's not exactly like we're all confident outgoing people, could very well grind this project and/or others to a halt
