my friend needs help - Mariofan230 - 12-23-2017
i have a friend who wanted to make a fan game but he got a response when he asked nintendo if he could make a fan game: We applaud his efforts at game development and encourage him to become a developer if he hasn't already done so. Please understand, however, that he does not have their permission to develop software using Nintendo trademarks—even if he has become a licensed Nintendo developer. Games featuring Nintendo trademarks are usually developed internally or by business partners. Please focus his efforts on creating his own intellectual property as he develop his software.

Nintendo will always say this if you ask them.
We all just do it anyways.

Fan games are in a legal gray area, so ultimately it's up to you to decide where the line is drawn. Nintendo, of course, tends to go against what most people would consider okay, but as long as you don't make money off of it (or if it's not a straight-up remake), you're more than likely fine.
We all just do it anyways.

Nintendo responded to your friend and said "please understand"...
But Iwata died

Hello?
RE: my friend needs help - Zero Kirby - 12-26-2017
I mean, we understand the problem, but you didn't really ask a question, so we're not sure what you're looking for help with.
It's been mentioned that, yes, Nintendo will pretty much just say "neat make games but don't use our resources man" if you contact them for permission to make fangames. But we do it anyway, we just don't sell them and we pretty much do this just for fun and to share neat games.
If they still want to make a Mario fangame, there's nothing really stopping them. If Nintendo really really really had a super-beef against Nintendo fangames, MFGG would have been shut down a long long time ago.

It's pretty obvious it's a joke by the way he wrote it.

Sometimes, people say tongue-in-cheek things! Sometimes they even say such things on the Internet!
As others have mentioned, fangaming is in a legal gray area. A random Nintendo customer support representative probably can't officially give your friend permission to make a fangame, but Nintendo probably isn't going to care (or even notice) unless he's making a 1:1 remake of an official Nintendo game or trying to monetize his work. If it bothers you that fangaming is in a gray area, you can always make an indie project instead - MFGG has plenty of resources you could use for a "Mario clone" or other indie project.
