I would love if this could become nintendo endorsed and end up on the wiiware or something, I'd pay to play this.
I once asked Nintendo if they would ever do anything like that. Here's what they said:

We do appreciate your feedback. Your comments have been forwarded to the appropriate departments within Nintendo for further review.
There are no sprite rips anywhere in the game at this point except for some of the basic Samus frames from SM. The whole thing is new from the ground up. By that I mean the entire game, the graphics, sound, programming, etc.
Your over reacting guys. There may not be many people on VR's team. But they (and himself) work quite fast. If you where intrested back when he first showed this project. Then you know how fast he works.
You could think that he don't got a life hahahahaha.

On topic: what kind of specs will a computer need to play this game. My comp is notoriously slow and I don't want to miss out on this because of my crappy computer.
The specs should be at least fifth or sixth generation (seventh-gen is what I mean by Service Pack 2 XP/Vista). Maybe at least a little more higher specs than what console emulators ask for.
I bet that the game might at least work on my half-crappy Windows ME (it still works well, we just need a fresh reinitialization since we haven't used it for two years and suffered five crashes).
And then again, there better not be an installation setup for this game (due to the fact that I have a limited account on my main comp thanks to my brother, I don't want to install on my aunt's laptop and end up e-mailing it to myself and rely on a 50-50 chance it works).
Expect a nice-sized installation setup (but please, make it so that even lousy Windows XP limited accounts can install it), or else, a crapload 90-minute-on-DSL's worth of data (the program and all of it's code-worth, unless the file quantity can be cut).
Yes... Aside from the machine specs (which I'm sure mine is capable of handling) Any estimates on the size (byte wise)?
I mean, being on dial-up, am I looking at a few minutes or a perhaps a 3 hour download? :x Or more?
Of course, I suppose I could lug my computer into work and hook it up to it's wireless internet.
I didn't think that dial-up existed anymore. Doesn't high speed access cost the same now? Unless you're in a remote area and need satellite in order to have high speed.
I dunno about where you live, but where I live, highspeed is like 40 bux a month. If I wanted dialup instead (who does?), it could be anywhere from free (lol wut; I assume netzero-horrid-speed is still free) to like 20 bucks a month.
