Nintendo doesn't even own the rights, Itoi does and he doesn't really enforce them. The real reason they rebranded was because the team wanted to and nothing more. The fear of a DMCA was just an excuse.
@@vico7727 i guess they just wanted creative freedom and be paid for they efforts in this game, game dev is hard, they aint doing this with game maker or unity, they built an engine for this game, only for it.

Every game has new characters, a new world, new combat mechanics etc...

This looks fu€king AMAZING! Earthbound was always my favorite game as a kid, and it still brings me back and evokes so much nostalgia and a warm fuzzy feeling inside..

They should not have changed the project. They made too many unnecessary concessions. There is no legal basis for cease & desist threats for a non-commercial project. They should've just stuck with the original plan and followed thru.
@Lucas Klaus the game isn't even real tbh, the leaked beta shows that these were a bunch of scripted battles and progress was barely made, and about the copyright, well they couldn't get a strike since Itoi owns 50% of the series and needs to be contacted first
@Lucas Klaus that's because the game isn't even a real thing, the build just was a bunch of scripted battles with no collision detection while at the same time, they had lot of infighting mostly coming from pastelian being jealous of undertale and other mother inspired indies
