Nintendo’s stagnated and has become a patent troll
as someone that used to be a fan I’m sad as it’s hard to be hyped for any of their games when they’re widely known for pulling these kinds of scummy tactics time and time again
indies be dammed, it’s too much of a risk to make Nintendo-inspired games let alone direct fan-games
It’s a shame you can’t support nintendo’s developers while excluding their legal department. Oh well, the high seas mean I still get to enjoy what I want to

People can’t even make a mod that requires the base game to work.
Nintendo has always been an underhanded bully. This isn’t new.
Ya their patent crap precedes year 2000
And is just an extension to their licensing nonsense and publishing deals thst came beforex
Anyone surprised by any of this doesn’t care about Nintendo’s behaviour, just the impact the current move is having on their current fun.
