My son does. He sleeps with a Rush plushie and invents his own robot masters, like Tiger Snake man and Graf man.

He also is a Zelda aficionado, his favorite is Big Blue Ganon

I hated it after 30 minutes of people playing it on the Nintendo World Championship and killing all the momentum that event had going on.

Anyway Nintendo would benefit from scooping up some of the talents that do so much with their older stuff but it's just not in their organizational culture, maybe in a few years with some drastic changes they'll start doing that and get their own Sonic Mania thing going, but for the foreseeable future they simply won't.

I think they may have made some attempt at scooping up Toby Keith or whatever, NoA members on twitter were trying to get him to contact them.

They were supposedly talking to him about getting Undertale on consoles but nothing seems to have come from it and Toby admitted himself that he'd basically need a ton of help porting Undertale to anything that wasn't a PC.

I'm trying to think of all of the pig Ganon appearances and there's a bit, but only three games where he even has color (LOZ, LTTP, FSA); I guess maybe he looked up art for Ganon or something.

I wouldn't doubt if he stumbled upon the LTTP art with Ganon and Link facing off which is dope as all hell.

So shouldn't Nintendo be snatching up the really good projects like AM2R and distributing them to make a buck? I mean, why not grow their IPs with such things rather than just shut them down?

Risk. All it takes is one "oops, the developer snuck a racist slur into the source code" kind of deal and suddenly Nintendo's responsible.

how do you read a manga to a kid? narrate the dialogue while flashing the pictures every page?

Well it's more like a comic book, it's like any other picture book, you do character voices, point to where you're talking about, narrate some of the action that may be unclear.

With little kids they can sit on your lap and you can read right over their heads. Also works for handheld videogames.

Very easily I imagine. Gets kids really into the source material too.

Disney has no problems lending the use of their IP's, including things more valuable than anything Nintendo has like Star Wars, to fans. All they do is meet with the modders and ask them to agree not to put certain poo poo in their games. Nintendo are just assholes about their IP use look at their YouTube policy basically stealing 90% of revenue from people. Disney is even allowing a prototype of battlefront 3 based on leaked code to be released on steam. No risk to Nintendo except in their imaginations

But Nintendo DOES have a non-interference policy for fangames? Like, it's fine if you make a Mario fangame, you just can't make "Super Mario World 3D" or whatever, because SMW is a real game that already exists, and upgrading the graphics and releasing it for free isn't a 'fan' game so much. The 3D Zelda 1, AM2R, SM64 HD, they were all remakes of actual Nintendo games that Nintendo was selling.

TP is sooo ugly. To me it's main redeeming characteristic is that it has a good soundtrack, but WW has an amazing soundtrack as well that overshadows TP.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Does Wario condemn Israel and proclaim fruits should be hanging from trees?

I'm replaying it ATM, and something I don't often see mentioned is that the enemy AI is pretty neat - if you snipe a bokoblin his buddies nearby often run over to see what happened to him.

Not smart on their part, since they set themselves up for a bomb arrow, but I'm all about easy bokoblin genocide, so....
