They do look different, but IMO their facial structure looks more like those Chinese beauty filters for phone cameras than children.

Seems you don't know much with asian culture and looks. There are plenty of adult women that have that kind of facial structure in real life. Time to maybe get out of your bubble?

I’m confused, is this the character in the image at the top of the article that you’re talking about?  That doesn’t look like a child to me, unless you’re just going by “any woman with small breasts is a loli” logic.

This is the part where you post before and after shots.

Yeah, this. Japan doesn’t have “fair use” as a legal concept.

It kinda just seems like most major Japan-based game companies actively hate their fanbases, but that seems unlikely. What is more likely is that Japanese intellectual property law is so absolutely turbo-fucked that anyone engaging with the IP outside of approved, carefully manicured channels is perceived as a threat.

My assumption is that it largely stems from Nintendo being a massive company with many heads that don’t always communicate 100%. The legal team doesn’t see “historical documentary about media that was never to see the lights of day”, they see “youtube video talks about product”. I highly doubt that Big N’s legal…

I’m sure a lot of it has to do with the way the company’s opinions have changed after the hacks, but Nintendo has always been bizarrely secretive when it comes to their internal procedures and processes.

Why would Nintendo not want this information shared? It isn’t a current project, it isn’t an embarrassment, it’s just an idea that didn’t go anywhere.

Read somewhere that they were taking donations and technically profiting off of Capcoms IP which would be the sort of thing that would DEFINITELY bring copyright lawyers down on them if true.

I know the fan remake of RE2 got a C&D by Capcom due to them working on the RE2make at the time but I think Capcom invited…

I sure hope this is because Capcom is making their own Code Veronica remake like what happened with that fanmade RE2 remake.

“We will continue a new project that will have a story inspired by Code: Veronica but without copyright problems.”

I swear, it’s as if people like you were never kids yourselves

QUERY: What the fuck is your solution to a Nazi-radicalized person who pulls this shit?

why not Ac2: Another Age?

on the one hand, yes.

yup, was based off billy blanks and was the first/only character created by capcom usa.

Right the base of gamers now is MASSIVE compared to 30 years ago.  I don’t think there are concrete numbers from back in the 80's but there is an estimated 214 million games currently in the US, in 1986 when the NES dropps the entier population was 240 million.  The number of people playing games in the US let alone…

I think you misunderstand my point; I’m not arguing that Microsoft or Sony or Activision (or any other publisher who is bumping up their prices) needs to increase those costs, but there is obviously a tipping point where the cost of a good has been stagnant for so long that whatever internal KPIs they have show it…
