Nintendo heard about AM2R after Metroid: Samus Returns development started, creator not bitter
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 32 Comments
After working on the project for several years, DoctorM64 published his fan project Another Metroid 2 Remake (AM2R) online last year. But soon after it was released, he was given a DMCA from Nintendo.
What’s makes the whole story interesting is that Nintendo unveiled Metroid: Samus Returns for 3DS at E3 this week. It just so happens that the company was working on its own remake of the Game Boy title.
One of the more prominent developers involved with Metroid was actually aware of AM2R. Although he hasn’t seen it personally, game producer Yoshio Sakamoto told Kotaku:
“We heard about it first after we had already started development. We know it exists, the fact that a fan is out there and really likes the series this much.”
