This month, we pay tribute to the amazing work of fan communities who go the extra mile to create content for their favorite IPs. Fan games, hacks and complete overhaul mods made out of pure love for a franchise but stand out as their own thing will be the focus for this game of the month. We define fan games as content created not by an established studios, but by fans for an existing IP, with hacks and large mods being included if they differentiate themselves enough from the game they're based on (the jury will sort it out). Let's discover together these community projects that do what nintendon't.
