Super Mario RPG 2 Kickstarter Shows That Nintendo is Lying about Fans

Lying

Even while franchises such as Paper Mario or the Mario & Luigi series exist, it seems like Nintendo hasn’t been able to fill the void in gamers’ hearts that was left from Super Mario RPG. However, now we’re going to see the dedication of a fan that has decided to put everything aside in a Kickstarter project of a sequel to Super Mario RPG.

You’ve heard that correctly, in the Soon-to-be-DMCA’d project, the creator of the project named “Avi” wants to create a sequel to the popular SNES game. “My vision for Super Mario RPG 2 is a sequel as close to the original as possible.” States the description of the procject. “I hope to recapture the same magic we all experienced in the original SMRPG as the sequel.”

The project had a $10,000.00 USD goal. And it was also backed by $98 dollars from 20 different backers. ” I am not a coder, however, I know how to project manage and with adequate funding, I know how to find the right people and manage them to make this happen.” Says Avi.

Now, usually I wouldn’t cover this if it weren’t for the most recent update and the cancellation of the project. So, the person responsible for this project unknowingly divulged some lies Nintendo has been feeding them.

“I received a call today from a member from Nintendo and was asked to stop the Kickstarter campaign.” Says the blog post called The Bad News and The Very Good News. “I had high hopes and am extremely disappointed I was asked to stop the campaign as I feel I have let fans and backers down that have been supportive up to this point.”

“One of the problems I was made aware of that many people may not know is that volunteer projects such as AM2R and Pokémon Prism were actually planned to be sold behind Nintendo’s back.” Said Avi “And so this is why Nintendo has been shutting down so many projects down and appears to be a jerk.”

I’m sorry, what? I’m sure the developers of AM2R and Pokemon Prism – The two projects that were shot down even at the Game Awards – were NEVER meant to be sold. They were always freeware with open-source code. This can only be interpreted in two ways. Either Nintendo has a very warped perception of its fanbase. Or they are deliberately lying about how much they like fan output.

Whatever happens, let’s only hope that Nintendo clarifies these issues. Otherwise, it will only make the shadow it casted a bit longer.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
