I think this game will be better than what people expect and I wish people would stop flaming. The fact that Nintendo (or some other 3 party) has even acknowledged a homebrew game should be a compliment to us and the entire homebrew community.
He still hasn't given up? The public stint didn't work, and the petition hasn't work
And the requirements?
QUOTEAn Authorized Developer will have demonstrated the ability to develop and program excellent software for Nintendo video game systems or for other game platforms. In addition,
an Authorized Developer will have a stable business organization with secure office facilities separate from a personal residence ( Home offices do not meet this requirement ), sufficient resources to insure the security of Nintendo confidential information and in order to ensure an effective environment for working with Nintendo and/or its Publishers. Nintendo provides Authorized Developers with highly confidential information and many of Nintendo's Publishers also rely on recommendations and referrals to Authorized Developers. For these reasons, Nintendo exercises a very high level of care in evaluating Authorized Developers.
