Chev posted:This has been regularly wrong for most cases of fan projects being shut down in the past. Profit isn't a factor. No it isn't. Most of the big "they shut down our project!!!" stuff came from the developers either imploding and trying to blame it on a fake C&D or it was revealed afterwards they were attempting to turn a profit off it. Like the infamous Chrono Trigger 3D remake turned out to be "we're remaking select scenes of the game in order to promote our engine" stuff. Alternately it involves them doing a translation or fan project when an official one is coming out (like the Final Fantasy Type-0 one.) There are only a handful of high-profile fan project shutdowns period and the bulk of those have some sort of drama behind them rather than just mean companies trying to shut down people for no reason.

At the very least I know Project M's official statement of "We're satisfied with it and want to move on to develop bigger and better things!" is complete bullshit.

From what I gather, Nintendo didn't explicitly tell them to stop but they did say "y'know if you keep playing this poo poo at the events we sponsor, someone will eventually tell us to make you stop" and the devs were already looking for an excuse to quit so they did.

Didn't Nintendo go after TASes and any sort of gameplay they deemed unsuitable on Nico and YT? I don't exactly count them as an impartial judge on the whole issue of where they point their efforts.

Really excited to play Metroid 2 again - there's a good game in there just buried in some poor level design.

Nintendo put out an explicit "we're okay with derivative works" directive a year or so ago but that doesn't mean they won't change their mind on a whim, or that they'll make any effort to keep their automatic flagging system from loving with people for no reason.

Dive kicking between the fireballs kinda seems like showboating when you can just jump between them at long range, but I appreciate the effort.

Yeah, there are spots on each side of dracula that Albus can crouch at to avoid the bats but Shanoa can be completely safe with scutum + melio scutum. Scutum blocks his destruction ray as well.

Someone said it before, months ago, but OoE's Dracula is great because his final form is Dracula GOING 3D  Although you could argue that Shanoa, relative to a proper Belmont, can't do poo poo against Dracula even though she's a huge badass in her own right because he never transforms into a monster and at the end of the fight he's all like "wtf is this are you even trying?"

Dracula just got tired of buying a new suit after every transformation. It's not like it ever helped him anyway.

It's not strictly CV-related but I thought people might like to know that Maldita Castilla EX, an expanded version of Locamalito's freeware arcade-action game Maldita Castilla, is now available on XB1. The EX version adds a couple new levels and some other features like a bestiary but it's mostly very similar to the PC version, and it'll be coming to other platforms eventually so you should hopefully be able to play it on everything before long. Get it (or at least try the PC version), it's a good game.

Yeah, the end suffers a bit for being basically the same fight 4 times in a row before the final boss but other than that, the game was fun. I dunno if I'd play it all the way through again any time soon, though.

I replayed through SotN over the last couple of weeks and the inverted castle is kinda trash, huh? Touches like fighting clones of Alucard's CV3 pals are nice, but a lot of the areas don't really flow very well flipped and the balance is all over the place.Uncle Wemus posted:Not Castlevania but the remake of Metroid 2 is finished and just in time for metriods 30th anniversary This is rad. I couldn't get into Metroid 2 when I tried to play it a couple of years back because the lack of map and greyscale environments all looking the same meant I couldn't really navigate it without getting lost all the time but I've been having a blast with this today. Something to finally put the game alongside Zero Mission and Super.

I like all of the enemies and bosses they introduce in the Inverted Castle, but unfortunately the level design is the product of lack of development time and assets. Don't get me wrong, I'd still prefer having the Inverted Castle in the game over nothing due to the cool enemies and weapons that part introduces, but the issues with paths and being forced to rely on the bat form, awkward jumps, and awkward super jumps is a detriment to the game as a whole. SotN is a great game and it's kind of a testament to its legacy that as awkward as the Inverted Castle is, it doesn't detract much from the game as a whole.
