Why does Sega give their fans more love than Nintendo? :(

AM2R got shot down by Nintendo like a day after its release. It was a superior game to Samus Returns and they still took it down. However, the creator was hired by a game development studio so there is that.

I think what's funny is that I think that AM2R's creation is probably what resulted in Samus Returns development.

AM2R and Samus Returns were being made at the same time, and AM2R competed with Samus Returns, but no one knew Samus Returns was being made.

Thing is though, AM2R was in development for ten years longer than Samus Returns, so they weren't made at the same time, just AM2R unknowningly at the time, competed with a game that no one knew about like you said.
