Sega: “Wow, that Sonic fan game was really good! Keep up the great work.” Nintendo: “Nooooooo, you can’t just make a Mario fan game, that’s stealing!!!”
Meanwhile a user called “Seriousmcnegative”: IS THAT A GODDAMN SONIC FANGAME?! EW THEIF! DO YOU REALLY EXPECT SEGA TO NOT PROTECT THEMSELVES?! DELETE THIS TALENTLESS RIPOFF RIGHT NOW YOU LOSER AND THEIF!
Also Mario Maker. YEARS ago you could use a ROM of SMW called Lunar Magic and make whatever game you wanted. I believe it was around in 2012. Than Nintendo made Mario Maker in 2016 I believe. It's good, but still VERY limited in terms of what a fan could do with the ROM as apposed to Nintendo's ( Incredibly late) official release.
Honestly, I wholeheartedly believe it's a pride thing Nintendo's got going on. I wouldn't be surprised if they think that fans making better games than what some official products end up being like is something to be ashamed of, and so that shame drives them to stamp out any legitimately good fangame based off of any of their IPs.
No I think they are worried that fans are making better content then them especially with uranium so they are worried people wouldn’t buy the games if These fan games are up
The Virgin Corporate Nintendo: Hates fan games, employees stalked someone because they emulated a 3DS, hates Smash Melee The Chad Nintendo Fangames: Are pretty good! (Also I have played Full Screen Mario, and it was on a School Chromebook!)
Mario: NOOO, YOU CANNOT MAKE A REMAKE OF THIS 34 YEAR OLD GAME WE DON'T EVEN SELL ANYMORE!!!! NEITHER YOU CAN MAKE ORIGINAL FREE CONTENT OF NINTENDO'S IP!!!1!!1! Sonic: Lmao, nice fan game, dude.
their was a pokemon fangame in roblox called pokemon brick bronze, i didnt really play it much but my brother played it alot, then nintendo stuck and roblox took it down, years later (im talking around 2020 - 2022) the game came back under a new name
fun fact: the creator of Terraria, Red, actually made a Mario fan game before Terraria existed, it was called Super Mario Bros. X, and one of the features it had was a level editor, Nintendo of course being Nintendo shut it down
Great video sir. Glad to see you getting back to your roots and making better videos again. It felt like you were sort of calling it in for a while and I’m sure you were burnt out. I can’t blame ya. Anyhow, I hope you’ve been reinvigorated and continue making great videos like this in the future. 👍
I feel like a few people have mentioned this before, but Pokemon Brick Bronze was pretty impressive for me. It was a completely new region (i think it was called Roria?) and while it didn't have new Pokemon or regional forms and stuff like that, I really loved its story and aesthetic, even for a Roblox game. After PBB's shutdown, the team behind the fangame decided to make ANOTHER fangame under the name of Loomian Legacy, which is still up to this day. It works pretty differently from regular Pokemon, and has its own Pokemo-ah, sorry, Loomians, to call its own. It's still being updated today, to my knowledge, so you can go play it right now-
Nintendo has had a god complex ever since they saved the video game industry back in the mid 1980s. They are paranoid over fans outdoing them, oblivious to the fact that their fandom actually still cares about their game franchises. Honestly, we should tell Nintendo that it’s not the end of the world if their fans make their own Mario games and that they are still remembered no matter what. Only then will Nintendo stop living in their glory days.
Fear of irrelevancy. They stated that’s what they fear most. In all irony their current strategy is unsustainable and will in turn lead to what they fear most.
I really do wish Nintendo didn't have to be like that. Of course I'll still support the official games and properties they make, but at the same time, it really hurts me that the higher ups at Nintendo just aren't seeing things the way we do. They tried their best to stop people from pirating and emulating their franchises, but of course, they failed to understand that piracy of this kind just can't be stopped, as it'll always find a way. I doubt that Nintendo will ever listen to us in regards of how people like me feel about fan projects that are just as good as some of their own iconic masterpieces, and nothing makes me sadder. I always wanted to make an OpenBOR style game with characters in the Smash Bros. series, maybe even some that didn't make it into the series, but of course, the biggest problem is that the big red N would waste no time trying to shut down the project so that it never sees the light of day. I personally don't think people like Shigeru Miyamoto, Kensuke Tanabe, Masahiro Sakurai, etc. want to see us this way, but... if I'm being honest, there's only so much they can do.
Think of all the creators who actually appreciate fan games like Concerned Ape, Sega and Scott Cawthon. Those people are heroes and idols for so many people and Nintendo just shuts them down which is so heartbreaking, instead of shutting them down HIRE THEM! They do way better than Nintendo's trashy attempts (namely a certain trilogy port of their most famous character that flopped severely and one of the games weren't even in full screen)
I actually feel different about the AM2R shutdown. I love AM2R, it is easily my favourite fan game yet. The fact that it was shut down sucks, however, it conveniently happened just after it was finally completed. To me it has always felt like Nintendo, or rather some employees at Nintendo allowed AM2R to be completed. I had been aware of AM2R for a few years already at that point, so it seemed unlikely to me that no-one at Nintendo knew of it prior to its completion. I can't say whether Metroid: Samus Returns creation had anything to do with the existence of AM2R. But it does seem likely to me that Nintendo "had to" take AM2R down because of their own remake. At the end of the day I'm really glad we got both. It is interesting to see two different approaches to remaking the same game. I personally found AM2R more fun to play, but I am so glad that Metroid: Samus Returns led to the eventual release of Metroid Dread.
@@PickledKong64 I hate Nintendo and literally pirate every switch game but 3 of the games on this list are literally remakes. And two Pokémon games which is related to game freak more so then Nintendo as a whole. You don't see Nintendo taking down every popular fangame. Super Mario 63 Mari0(somehow) Kazes hacks(after he stopped uploading prepatched roms) . Pokemmo which requires the roms on your behalf isn't taken down.
0:42 this is what i love about sega, they don't want to sue fan game developers most of the time, they are chill with fan games, animations, comics, mods every developer is scared of nintendo nowadays
5:06 Sure it uses Nintendo characters, but in what way does he do that in a harmful way?? Who's gonna look at full screen Mario and be like: ''I used to love Nintendo as a company, but after seeing this, i'm boycotting them forever! I can't believe they'd stoop this low >:/''? It's pure nonsense
There was a Pokémon fangame called Brick bronze on Roblox of all things. Of course it got taken down but they then went on to make Loomian legacy which is a really great spiritual successor
The main two I actually see where Nintendo is getting at is Full Screen Mario and the Super Mario 64 HD thing. They're basically copies of the original games just with either a longer screen or updated graphics. Sure Full Screen had the level editor but the core is Mario Bros 1, and the other is literally just Super Mario 64 on Unreal Engine. Interesting concepts sure, but they also made them both publically available for everyone to play, and when their core is the actual games, that does present a problem. As much as I do wish they released the games in a way where its easier to get standalone, they are in the right for those two.
Eh, just because they can doesn't mean they should. while I get it with AM2R, as that would interfere with the official remake's sales, the other 2 not so much. Full Screen was just a funny but well made version of a game that pretty much everyone has. 64 HD was a remake of a game Nintendo did practically nothing with after the DS, and the VC port wasn't really going to sell many more Wii Us.
Remember Nintendo fans, if you're planning on making a Nintendo fan game, make sure Nintendo doesn't find out. Don't tell anyone you know who works at Nintendo.
The best Bastard Move Nintendo does was with that fan game Mario Battle Royal. They Shut down this awsome Game, steal the Code of this game, calld it Mario 35 i guess. And sell it in the Nintendo store. O.o This poor guy doesent even get Credit for his Work. Of cause its Created NINTENDO.
Thing is, just don't use their assets when making fangames. New names, new characters, new worlds, as long as they use anything direct of theirs, fan games can exist. Doesn't make shutting them down any better, but does anyone REALLY want to spend years on a project only to delete it?
I find it surprising that there are somehow still some games that went over Nintendo's radar. Super Mario Bros. Crossover was a game that allows you to play the original Super Mario Bros. as Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus, Mega Man, Bass, Simon from Castlevania, Sophia III from Blaster Master, Ryu from Ninja Gaiden and Bill from Contra. Not only that, but they included a bunch of skins for each of the characters and the hub world, intricate quality of life settings, anti-quality of life settings, the Special and Lost Levels layouts and a few other things as well. However, this game ran on Flash, which unfortunately shut down a couple of years ago. Good thing Flash Bound was made. Sonic Boll had a similar idea to Super Mario Bros. Crossover. However, instead of Mario and Luigi defeating Bowser with Nintendo characters, it was Sonic characters. The skins, map packs, music textures were all moddable if you knew how to mod and make levels using the tools required. The best part is that you don't need flash for this game.
That one fan game that might be still up is pokemon lost silver based off of a Creepypasta of the same name. It's all about how in the story of how gold tragically lost so many cute friends and now is in a void of nothingness. The Friday Night Funkin song monochrome is good too.
To refresh people on the setting of Pokémon Uranium, the main character’s mother died in a mysterious nuclear meltdown and their father (Kellyn from Ranger Shadows of Almia) left to devote himself to his work, leaving his child to be raised by their grandmother
Pokemon brick bronze is a really good one, at a time one of the most popular games on Roblox, then deleted just to come back with more polish under a new IP 'loomian legacy's which has thousands of fans playing average
I remember nintendo shutting down a minecraft mod called "pixelmon" which was basically minecraft but with pokemon But the mod got relauncher by the name "pixelmon reforged"
My favorite Fangames one is one this list, which was Pokémon Urainum. The other one you should definitely check out which is tied in the favorites is Pokémon Reborn. Reborn is a good Pokémon fangame game and it has an interesting storyline
No mention of Mario Royale? Lots of people know about it and that it was shut down, but not many people know it was revived and made thousands of times better until admin drama made the whole thing fall apart.
Get that Zelda Maker up and running and make "Link's awaking 2 : The quest to save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever !" that we have needed for 29 years.
Haven't played most fangames, but it sucks that Nintendo is so cruel with them, they're a love letter for their IP's and comunities For why they're like that with fangames, maybe it has something to do with Japanese culture? Cause I've heard Square Enix are also jerks with fangames, and that even Sega of Japan is bitter with those, despite how supportive to fancontent is their american branch No real idea on that, so just a theory
I think it likely a culture difference. Based on stories I heard from the country, the Japanese tend to get bitter, jealous, or prideful if someone either younger or haven't worked as long as they've worked in an industry is more successful then them. They'll showed those emotion mainly through action rather than words and my god, do their actions speak louder. Of course, this doesn't mean that ALL Japanese and their companies are like this besides, Western/America are pretty similar as well. I mean, take Disney for example, they literally sue a daycare/nursery for painting Mickey and Minnie on the wall.
I think I can explain this, if Nintendo wanted to take it down, they'd need Shigesato Itoi to also want it gone. So without his approval, they can't do anything.
@@reallyreal1057 His name on the copyright label on games such as Super Smash Bros. kinda confirms it. To be honest, if it wasn't itoi sharing property between him and Nintendo, Mother 3 would be a very unknown game out of Japan.
@@reallyreal1057 They don't take it down because it is shared as a patch. Similarly Kaze originally shared the full roms for his sm64 hacks and the downloads got taken down but after he switched to patches not anymore.
There’s an entire saga of fan made Metroid games made by this one guy, but the one that interested me the most was Metroid: The threat never ends, seemingly a sequel to fusion (I assume it was made before dread was announced) Samus has to stop a Ridley clone made out of X parasites. The whole game takes place in Multiple Planets a la Metroid Prime 3. You should try it out!
Ooh, you wanna talk about Pokemon MMOs? Pokemon Crater. Used to love that game in... think it was middle school. There were three special legendary Dratinis with the types of the bird trio, and all Pokemon had multiple variants- you could get shadow versions, metallic versions, and I think there were others, too. Apparently it's still around as Pokemon Vortex, with a lot of new additions and also some removals.
A shame. If I ever manage to become an actual game designer for other people than myself and not an indie one (though I wouldn't mind), I would rather work for companies like Sega, even though I grew up with Nintendo. The spirit of my content, which is about acknowledging the player/viewer in many different ways doesn't seem to fit in their policies anyway.
There has to be some form of work around for Nintendo and fan made games to do exist. If only Nintendo took the steps to make this a reality because I'm sure everyone would be happy. When they shut these projects down not only are they depriving everyone of a potential good time and the creators a chance to express their passion but Nintendo also loses the goodwill of their customers. There is a reason why they're often joked about being anti consumer often.
You are forgetting about the thousands of children on roblox furious about the shutdown of brick bronze and still trying to bring it back illegally, refusing to play the other two pokemon INSPIRED games on roblox, which are equally as good, if not better.
yeah, i'm disappointed about the shutdown but it is what it is, the pokemon inspired games aren't nearly as good but trying to bring brick bronze back is stupid, futile, and plain illegal.
the thing is MEGALOVANIA was from an earthbound rom hack, and Nintendo is against rom hacks, and MEGALOVANIA was used in UNDERTALE, which Nintendo let onto the switch, let alone putting Sans AND MEGALOVANIA both in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Nintendo still hasn't shut down my Pokemon Snap fan game, it's been about 2-3 years now and it's still up... Y'all just need to stop announcing stuff till it's almost done, do your best not to make the game too close to the original, and make the game mostly custom assets, disclaimers on the front splash screens along with an end user agreement acknowledging it's a fan game and some legal license stuff before continuing. I also didn't have any mention of "Pokemon" ANYWHERE in the code, assets, or dialogue of the game. I'm guessing that's why mine is still up. Trailer is on my RUclips channel if anyone is interested.
I think Nintendo's ruthlessness towards fan games of their works is the reason why some of the fan games are in closed beta. Specifically, a game I have called Mario Multiverse. I originally heard about it from a RUclips channel called Blue Television Games, often abbreviated to simply BTG. It looked cool. So much so that I wanted to play it myself. After a conversation with the BTG Discord (yes, BTG has a Discord), I was invited into the private Mario Multiverse. I gladly accepted. From there, it was a matter of waiting for the creator to pick me as the next person to play the game. It proved successful and I've been experimenting with Mario Multiverse as it evolved. There isn't a planned release date for the game. My assumption is that there are two main reasons for this. 1, it seems far from finished. There are a lot of requests and suggestions that have been going around in the Private Mario Multiverse Discord. 2, Nintendo would find out about the game and strike it down like the other games in the video. If you want to play the game for yourself, I have a few recommendations of what to do and what not to do. You can either go to the BTG Discord or the Public Mario Multiverse Discord, so you'll be able to experience a fate similar to me. From there, you'd have to come up with a reason why you want to be a part of the game. It can range from a simple passion of creating levels to finding bugs within the game to helping fix stuff behind the scenes. From there, you'd have to simply wait until the creator picks you. Once he does, you're golden. You can do all that or simply wait indefinitely for the game to release. I'd recommend you'd not download a leaked version of the game as it will prohibit you from ever playing the game. Period. Emphasis on *not*.
After the CDI games and bad movies Nintendo SHOULD allow fans to make these kinds of games. If they were smart they'd HIRE these people; not shut them down.
Nintendo should make a way to submit such games to them and then Nintendo returns it to the fans who made such games. After which the fans would take the feedback polish the their project and then release it in an agreeable manner with Nintendo. If Nintendo did that everyone wins I believe. Nintendo should not shut down creativity.
This is why i sometimes give sega more credit over nintendo..since Sega gives fans alot more love then nintendo at certain times. At least most sega fan games dont get shut down.
The Nintendo Ninjas should get sent to a black void called the Null Area! I think what could change this would be me making a revolutionary technology that brings Pokémon into real life. They can't say no to that!
Anyone else remember Pokemon brick bronze on roblox? If you don't know what it is its just Pokemon but roblox there is a REALLY fun storyline but I could only get past the first gym because Nintendo saw this, messaged the roblox company, and roblox found it and deleted it and now one of the best Pokemon fan games on roblox has been deleted it was deleted at some point in 2018 and any game with the word Pokemon in it has been or is going to be deleted
My favourite Nintendo fan game that still exists 'till today is Super Mario Flashback. The game is basically a remake of various classic levels from original Mario games while adding new mechanics. Mario also has moves from his modern moveset that can be really useful at times
It really does suck that people spent days, months, or even years just to make a fan game of a franchise they love only to be taken down. This is why I like SEGA more cause they don’t take down fan games but instead they promote according to what you said at 0:43
In January 2021, Nintendo applied a mass DMCA takedown on 379 fan games. Crazy, I know. Also, there was a Mario Royale game that was renamed into DMCA Royale. And of course, it got shut down by Nintendo in June 2019.
As sad as it is that they took down the Super Show game,It's technically good because at least they acknowledge the existence of the show,never in a million years would i expect them to even care about this show at all...
i believe that as long as the creators of these fan games are not making money off of them leave them be nintendo isn't losing any money from it hey maybe they could gain a new game developer out of it instead of shutting it down or offer to buy the game from them
What's sad about the Super Mario Bros. Super Show 2D platformer getting shut down is that was made by a father and his kids, primarily letting his children take creative control with it.
Surprised this one still exists, but Mari0 is an amazing Mario x Portal fan game, especially Mari0 AE, adding a ton of new possibilities for level creation.
Pokemon Brickbronze was a really good fan game that I'm sad got shut down. Although yes, it was made in Roblox of all things, it was still a pretty good game. I miss hanging out in the trading hub, exploring the location and trading for starters. I remember being in the final area and struggling with the gym leader right before it got shut down. Now the team that worked on it have moved on to Loomian Legacy, which is a goodish game, but it won't be able to replace Brickbronze, thats for sure.
I remember playing it, it was amazing. I remember being so sad when Nintendo shut it down. I tried Loomian Legacy, but it could never fill the void left in my heart.
All my love for Nintendo is purely nostalgic. I'm a pc gamer, and have a switch (I only got it to play 3rd party games portable). Now that the handheald pc console are at the point that Nintendo is completely outdated to me.
Nintendo will never be outdated, people keep saying the deck is gonna surpass the switch, almost 1 year later, wheres the deck now? Oh i know! In the trash, while the switch surpassed 110 million units, and now is the most acessible console in poorer countries like mine (Brazil) where a switch lite is so much cheaper than something like playstation and xbox, meanwhile steam deck hasent even reached here and i sure its gonna cost 5x the minimum wage.
Watching videos like these always give me hope that Zelda Classic will never be DMC'd, even after it's 10 year anniversary. That and Randomizers surprisingly enough.
SuperMarioLogan fell on that category too back in early 2021 and they had to switch to bootleg human puppet variations of them for good (with different names later on)
@@liyplayz_ Meanwhile Mario and Luigi are left unchanged and are still mainstay characters lol then again, it's been several years already so who knows if Nintendo even cares for SMG4. Not like he made the news like SML did.
SEGA didn't hired Whitehead because he's a fan, dude had pitched Sonic CD remake in his engine for years, and only greenlit an original game (Mania) after years working for SEGA and remaking other classic games for mobile.
I Remember that I played a lot of Super Mario Forever when I was a kid. It's pretty much just Super Mario Bros but with a different story (I think) and a lot of game modes and other worlds. I don't know if you can still download it.
So theres this pokemon fan game called pokemon brick bronze,its pretty popular and nintendo shut it down.Many people are still re-release the fan game till now but it always get shut down every single time im not even joking

To me it has always felt like Nintendo, or rather some employees at Nintendo allowed AM2R to be completed. I had been aware of AM2R for a few years already at that point, so it seemed unlikely to me that no-one at Nintendo knew of it prior to its completion.
I can't say whether Metroid: Samus Returns creation had anything to do with the existence of AM2R. But it does seem likely to me that Nintendo "had to" take AM2R down because of their own remake.
At the end of the day I'm really glad we got both. It is interesting to see two different approaches to remaking the same game.
I personally found AM2R more fun to play, but I am so glad that Metroid: Samus Returns led to the eventual release of Metroid Dread.
Corporate shill coping hard
@@PickledKong64 are you seriously calling me a corporate shill over that, or am i misinterpreting your response?
@@thierrydecker8110 naw you shilling hard for Nintendo
@@PickledKong64 I hate Nintendo and literally pirate every switch game but 3 of the games on this list are literally remakes. And two Pokémon games which is related to game freak more so then Nintendo as a whole. You don't see Nintendo taking down every popular fangame. Super Mario 63 Mari0(somehow) Kazes hacks(after he stopped uploading prepatched roms) . Pokemmo which requires the roms on your behalf isn't taken down.
@@something4922 still doesn't excuse it
0:42 this is what i love about sega, they don't want to sue fan game developers most of the time, they are chill with fan games, animations, comics, mods
every developer is scared of nintendo nowadays
5:06 Sure it uses Nintendo characters, but in what way does he do that in a harmful way?? Who's gonna look at full screen Mario and be like: ''I used to love Nintendo as a company, but after seeing this, i'm boycotting them forever! I can't believe they'd stoop this low >:/''? It's pure nonsense
There was a Pokémon fangame called Brick bronze on Roblox of all things. Of course it got taken down but they then went on to make Loomian legacy which is a really great spiritual successor
Yeah, i don't think Loomian Legacy is as good but it still gives us a good ending.
@@cooljrgaming9729 Loomian Legacy isn’t over yet tho
@@cosmicspacething3474 yeah true
And this is one of the reasons why #FuckNintendo exist… what a damn shame Nintendo doesn't recognize love or potential.
The main two I actually see where Nintendo is getting at is Full Screen Mario and the Super Mario 64 HD thing. They're basically copies of the original games just with either a longer screen or updated graphics. Sure Full Screen had the level editor but the core is Mario Bros 1, and the other is literally just Super Mario 64 on Unreal Engine. Interesting concepts sure, but they also made them both publically available for everyone to play, and when their core is the actual games, that does present a problem. As much as I do wish they released the games in a way where its easier to get standalone, they are in the right for those two.
Eh, just because they can doesn't mean they should. while I get it with AM2R, as that would interfere with the official remake's sales, the other 2 not so much.
Full Screen was just a funny but well made version of a game that pretty much everyone has.
64 HD was a remake of a game Nintendo did practically nothing with after the DS, and the VC port wasn't really going to sell many more Wii Us.
Remember Nintendo fans, if you're planning on making a Nintendo fan game, make sure Nintendo doesn't find out. Don't tell anyone you know who works at Nintendo.
You know Nintendo shuts down most the fan games to steal their ideas and sell it for $60.
It's not a bad thing Nintendo is more worth supporting then "fans"
The best Bastard Move Nintendo does was with that fan game Mario Battle Royal.
They Shut down this awsome Game, steal the Code of this game, calld it Mario 35 i guess.
And sell it in the Nintendo store.
O.o
This poor guy doesent even get Credit for his Work.
Of cause its Created NINTENDO.
My favorite is Pokémon Uranium because it honestly hit a soft spot for me as a Pokémon fan
Thing is, just don't use their assets when making fangames. New names, new characters, new worlds, as long as they use anything direct of theirs, fan games can exist.
Doesn't make shutting them down any better, but does anyone REALLY want to spend years on a project only to delete it?
I find it surprising that there are somehow still some games that went over Nintendo's radar.
Super Mario Bros. Crossover was a game that allows you to play the original Super Mario Bros. as Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus, Mega Man, Bass, Simon from Castlevania, Sophia III from Blaster Master, Ryu from Ninja Gaiden and Bill from Contra. Not only that, but they included a bunch of skins for each of the characters and the hub world, intricate quality of life settings, anti-quality of life settings, the Special and Lost Levels layouts and a few other things as well. However, this game ran on Flash, which unfortunately shut down a couple of years ago. Good thing Flash Bound was made.
Sonic Boll had a similar idea to Super Mario Bros. Crossover. However, instead of Mario and Luigi defeating Bowser with Nintendo characters, it was Sonic characters. The skins, map packs, music textures were all moddable if you knew how to mod and make levels using the tools required. The best part is that you don't need flash for this game.
Feels like it’s been a long time since i last saw a fan game video from you.
Also as a suggestion, try PokeWilds or Pokemon Bushido!
Metroid 2 remake was greatly appreciated.
That one fan game that might be still up is pokemon lost silver based off of a Creepypasta of the same name. It's all about how in the story of how gold tragically lost so many cute friends and now is in a void of nothingness. The Friday Night Funkin song monochrome is good too.
To refresh people on the setting of Pokémon Uranium, the main character’s mother died in a mysterious nuclear meltdown and their father (Kellyn from Ranger Shadows of Almia) left to devote himself to his work, leaving his child to be raised by their grandmother
Pokemon brick bronze is a really good one, at a time one of the most popular games on Roblox, then deleted just to come back with more polish under a new IP 'loomian legacy's which has thousands of fans playing average
yeah, though Loomian Legacy isn't as good as the original Brick Bronze.
I remember nintendo shutting down a minecraft mod called "pixelmon" which was basically minecraft but with pokemon
But the mod got relauncher by the name "pixelmon reforged"
My favorite Fangames one is one this list, which was Pokémon Urainum.
The other one you should definitely check out which is tied in the favorites is Pokémon Reborn. Reborn is a good Pokémon fangame game and it has an interesting storyline
Yo you made me interested in this pokemon reborn can you send me download link/video on it?
@@abyssaloverseer6268 Ok so I don't think it's gonna allow me to send the link, but just search up Pokémon Reborn and you should be able to find it.
No mention of Mario Royale? Lots of people know about it and that it was shut down, but not many people know it was revived and made thousands of times better until admin drama made the whole thing fall apart.
Get that Zelda Maker up and running and make "Link's awaking 2 : The quest to save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever !" that we have needed for 29 years.
Haven't played most fangames, but it sucks that Nintendo is so cruel with them, they're a love letter for their IP's and comunities
For why they're like that with fangames, maybe it has something to do with Japanese culture? Cause I've heard Square Enix are also jerks with fangames, and that even Sega of Japan is bitter with those, despite how supportive to fancontent is their american branch
No real idea on that, so just a theory
I think it likely a culture difference. Based on stories I heard from the country, the Japanese tend to get bitter, jealous, or prideful if someone either younger or haven't worked as long as they've worked in an industry is more successful then them. They'll showed those emotion mainly through action rather than words and my god, do their actions speak louder.
Of course, this doesn't mean that ALL Japanese and their companies are like this besides, Western/America are pretty similar as well. I mean, take Disney for example, they literally sue a daycare/nursery for painting Mickey and Minnie on the wall.
My favorite fan game is the fan translation of Mother 3. Getting the award for most well known Nintendo ROM hack that they ignore completely.
I think I can explain this, if Nintendo wanted to take it down, they'd need Shigesato Itoi to also want it gone. So without his approval, they can't do anything.
@@reallyreal1057
His name on the copyright label on games such as Super Smash Bros. kinda confirms it.
To be honest, if it wasn't itoi sharing property between him and Nintendo, Mother 3 would be a very unknown game out of Japan.
@@reallyreal1057 They don't take it down because it is shared as a patch. Similarly Kaze originally shared the full roms for his sm64 hacks and the downloads got taken down but after he switched to patches not anymore.
There’s an entire saga of fan made Metroid games made by this one guy, but the one that interested me the most was Metroid: The threat never ends, seemingly a sequel to fusion (I assume it was made before dread was announced) Samus has to stop a Ridley clone made out of X parasites. The whole game takes place in Multiple Planets a la Metroid Prime 3. You should try it out!
Nintendo is nothing like Sega. Sega appreciates the sonic fan game community while Nintendo gives a goddamn cease and desist
Say what you will about sega (of America): but they don't take down fan games
Agree
Nintendo of Japan is fine, just Nintendo of America, they're always been a piece of shit since the 80s.
Pfft... Hahahaha! Have you heard of Streets of Rage Remake?
Full screen Mario is still up
Ooh, you wanna talk about Pokemon MMOs? Pokemon Crater. Used to love that game in... think it was middle school. There were three special legendary Dratinis with the types of the bird trio, and all Pokemon had multiple variants- you could get shadow versions, metallic versions, and I think there were others, too.
Apparently it's still around as Pokemon Vortex, with a lot of new additions and also some removals.
A shame. If I ever manage to become an actual game designer for other people than myself and not an indie one (though I wouldn't mind), I would rather work for companies like Sega, even though I grew up with Nintendo. The spirit of my content, which is about acknowledging the player/viewer in many different ways doesn't seem to fit in their policies anyway.
There has to be some form of work around for Nintendo and fan made games to do exist.
If only Nintendo took the steps to make this a reality because I'm sure everyone would be happy.
When they shut these projects down not only are they depriving everyone of a potential good time and the creators a chance to express their passion but Nintendo also loses the goodwill of their customers.
There is a reason why they're often joked about being anti consumer often.
Indies like that music game with the Zelda crossover.
Sega fan games by Sega: Nice work. Time for a chili dog.
Nintendo fan games by Nintendo: You've mamma'ed your last mia!!!...
this man has been a png tuber before png tubers were fatherless
Nintendo sure are pretty jealous of fans making stuff better then them.
My favorite Mario fan game is super Mario flashback.
It is still up witch is cool
My Favorite Nintendo Fan-Game That Still Exists Have To Go To Super Smash Flash 2 It Was My Childhood
A nintendo fangame: gets released
Nintendo: you must be erased right now or i'll rip you to shreds and feed you to ganondorf!!!!
You are forgetting about the thousands of children on roblox furious about the shutdown of brick bronze and still trying to bring it back illegally, refusing to play the other two pokemon INSPIRED games on roblox, which are equally as good, if not better.
yeah, i'm disappointed about the shutdown but it is what it is, the pokemon inspired games aren't nearly as good but trying to bring brick bronze back is stupid, futile, and plain illegal.
What are the other 2?
Fun fact: Nintendo shut down a Roblox game named Pokémon brick bronze
It was like an evolved version of pokenet
It was a very very good game
Connor didn't mention this, but for those who don't know Runiya was renamed to "Legend Maker"
the thing is MEGALOVANIA was from an earthbound rom hack, and Nintendo is against rom hacks, and MEGALOVANIA was used in UNDERTALE, which Nintendo let onto the switch, let alone putting Sans AND MEGALOVANIA both in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Nintendo: fangame oh no
Scott chawton: oh fangames sure I will port them to consoles and mobile and merchandise will made of fangame
Nintendo is dumb for shutting 'Fan-made' games, these are fan made, made by a fan and ninty is greedy 'Mine, mine, mine'
Nintendo still hasn't shut down my Pokemon Snap fan game, it's been about 2-3 years now and it's still up... Y'all just need to stop announcing stuff till it's almost done, do your best not to make the game too close to the original, and make the game mostly custom assets, disclaimers on the front splash screens along with an end user agreement acknowledging it's a fan game and some legal license stuff before continuing. I also didn't have any mention of "Pokemon" ANYWHERE in the code, assets, or dialogue of the game. I'm guessing that's why mine is still up. Trailer is on my RUclips channel if anyone is interested.
I think Nintendo's ruthlessness towards fan games of their works is the reason why some of the fan games are in closed beta. Specifically, a game I have called Mario Multiverse. I originally heard about it from a RUclips channel called Blue Television Games, often abbreviated to simply BTG. It looked cool. So much so that I wanted to play it myself. After a conversation with the BTG Discord (yes, BTG has a Discord), I was invited into the private Mario Multiverse. I gladly accepted. From there, it was a matter of waiting for the creator to pick me as the next person to play the game. It proved successful and I've been experimenting with Mario Multiverse as it evolved.
There isn't a planned release date for the game. My assumption is that there are two main reasons for this. 1, it seems far from finished. There are a lot of requests and suggestions that have been going around in the Private Mario Multiverse Discord. 2, Nintendo would find out about the game and strike it down like the other games in the video.
If you want to play the game for yourself, I have a few recommendations of what to do and what not to do.
You can either go to the BTG Discord or the Public Mario Multiverse Discord, so you'll be able to experience a fate similar to me. From there, you'd have to come up with a reason why you want to be a part of the game. It can range from a simple passion of creating levels to finding bugs within the game to helping fix stuff behind the scenes. From there, you'd have to simply wait until the creator picks you. Once he does, you're golden. You can do all that or simply wait indefinitely for the game to release.
I'd recommend you'd not download a leaked version of the game as it will prohibit you from ever playing the game. Period. Emphasis on *not*.
Clearly Nintendo did not make the brightest decision
After the CDI games and bad movies Nintendo SHOULD allow fans to make these kinds of games. If they were smart they'd HIRE these people; not shut them down.
Nintendo should make a way to submit such games to them and then Nintendo returns it to the fans who made such games. After which the fans would take the feedback polish the their project and then release it in an agreeable manner with Nintendo. If Nintendo did that everyone wins I believe. Nintendo should not shut down creativity.
Tuper Tario Tros is a fun fan game. It combines Tetris and Mario, and you have to switch between the two to progress.
7:40 Metroid: Samus Return began development in 2015 (3 years, so not “rushed”)
This is why i sometimes give sega more credit over nintendo..since Sega gives fans alot more love then nintendo at certain times. At least most sega fan games dont get shut down.
Nintendo earns more love for a matter of fact you should rightfully give Sega zero credit
@Firey
Nintendo is more respected then Sega have fun with half baked mediocre sonic games
The Nintendo Ninjas should get sent to a black void called the Null Area! I think what could change this would be me making a revolutionary technology that brings Pokémon into real life. They can't say no to that!
Anyone else remember Pokemon brick bronze on roblox? If you don't know what it is its just Pokemon but roblox there is a REALLY fun storyline but I could only get past the first gym because Nintendo saw this, messaged the roblox company, and roblox found it and deleted it and now one of the best Pokemon fan games on roblox has been deleted it was deleted at some point in 2018 and any game with the word Pokemon in it has been or is going to be deleted
Yeah, it's really sad, never got to finish brick bronze.
My favorite fangame is mario the music box and i just hope nintendo never takes it down
Nintendo takes down Mario fan games on dreams PS4 as well.
Nintendo shuts down fangames. Sega embraces them and hires the people sometimes. Sega still does what nontendon't
@@IceBlueStarCat hey remember when I asked? Yeah neither do I
"Console wars are stupid."

My favourite Nintendo fan game that still exists 'till today is Super Mario Flashback. The game is basically a remake of various classic levels from original Mario games while adding new mechanics. Mario also has moves from his modern moveset that can be really useful at times
It really does suck that people spent days, months, or even years just to make a fan game of a franchise they love only to be taken down. This is why I like SEGA more cause they don’t take down fan games but instead they promote according to what you said at 0:43
In January 2021, Nintendo applied a mass DMCA takedown on 379 fan games. Crazy, I know.
Also, there was a Mario Royale game that was renamed into DMCA Royale.
And of course, it got shut down by Nintendo in June 2019.
Fnaf is the best fandom.
They never shut down anything
As sad as it is that they took down the Super Show game,It's technically good because at least they acknowledge the existence of the show,never in a million years would i expect them to even care about this show at all...
i believe that as long as the creators of these fan games are not making money off of them leave them be nintendo isn't losing any money from it hey maybe they could gain a new game developer out of it instead of shutting it down or offer to buy the game from them
Nintendo still gains customers even if they still take down any fan game.
person: Nintendo why are you like this
Nintendo: *screeches in shut fan games*
What's sad about the Super Mario Bros. Super Show 2D platformer getting shut down is that was made by a father and his kids, primarily letting his children take creative control with it.
Surprised this one still exists, but Mari0 is an amazing Mario x Portal fan game, especially Mari0 AE, adding a ton of new possibilities for level creation.
Pokemon Brickbronze was a really good fan game that I'm sad got shut down. Although yes, it was made in Roblox of all things, it was still a pretty good game. I miss hanging out in the trading hub, exploring the location and trading for starters. I remember being in the final area and struggling with the gym leader right before it got shut down. Now the team that worked on it have moved on to Loomian Legacy, which is a goodish game, but it won't be able to replace Brickbronze, thats for sure.
I remember playing it, it was amazing. I remember being so sad when Nintendo shut it down. I tried Loomian Legacy, but it could never fill the void left in my heart.
All my love for Nintendo is purely nostalgic. I'm a pc gamer, and have a switch (I only got it to play 3rd party games portable). Now that the handheald pc console are at the point that Nintendo is completely outdated to me.
Nintendo will never be outdated, people keep saying the deck is gonna surpass the switch, almost 1 year later, wheres the deck now? Oh i know! In the trash, while the switch surpassed 110 million units, and now is the most acessible console in poorer countries like mine (Brazil) where a switch lite is so much cheaper than something like playstation and xbox, meanwhile steam deck hasent even reached here and i sure its gonna cost 5x the minimum wage.
Fan: releases Nintendo fangame
Nintendo: *hakai*
Watching videos like these always give me hope that Zelda Classic will never be DMC'd, even after it's 10 year anniversary. That and Randomizers surprisingly enough.
SuperMarioLogan fell on that category too back in early 2021 and they had to switch to bootleg human puppet variations of them for good (with different names later on)
SMG4 literally just had a story arc about a fake DMCA takedown from Nintendo and redesigned his iconic self insert so he doesn't actually get sued.
@@liyplayz_ Meanwhile Mario and Luigi are left unchanged and are still mainstay characters lol
then again, it's been several years already so who knows if Nintendo even cares for SMG4. Not like he made the news like SML did.
The reason for these copyrights too happen is because they want money, even if the fan game is not making money.
Nintendo: ban all of the fan games from our fans so we can ruin there day!
Sega: let's hire a sonic fan to make sonic mania and some mobile ports!
Well I mean… SEGA kind of mistreated that fan, along with HeadCannon studios (who helped make Mania).
SEGA didn't hired Whitehead because he's a fan, dude had pitched Sonic CD remake in his engine for years, and only greenlit an original game (Mania) after years working for SEGA and remaking other classic games for mobile.
If you ever make a sequel I suggest talking about Pokémon brick bronze from roblox
Aw i actuly wanted to make my own Mario fan games
2:27 Well there is PokeMMO, which is basically the same thing.
I Remember that I played a lot of Super Mario Forever when I was a kid. It's pretty much just Super Mario Bros but with a different story (I think) and a lot of game modes and other worlds. I don't know if you can still download it.
So theres this pokemon fan game called pokemon brick bronze,its pretty popular and nintendo shut it down.Many people are still re-release the fan game till now but it always get shut down every single time im not even joking
That is true, i think the re-releases are kinda stupid though, nintendo will never show mercy
The OG devs of PBB made a new game called loomian legacy to replace PBB
