I knew Nintendo were scummy, but this takes the cake: Yet another example of Nintendo killing off fan projects and then stealing them (archive.is)

So, developer rips off Super Mario Bros. and then is surprised when he has legal issues?

And we're supposed to care ... why?

Nobody would have ever given two shits about his game if he hadn't used the fame of Mario to get recognition. Even worse, maybe people would have been interested, but he blew it by infringing on someone else's IP instead of coming up with his own.

I'm sorry but fuck the fans projects...they shouldn't be using material they KNOW Nintendo will be forced to protect.

And as for this game, they owe nothing to the author of that game apart from maybe a thank you for giving them the idea...but really nothing more...the amount of shit Nintendo gets for stuff every company does it unreal, 'scummy'...oh okay man, it just gets boring as fuck.

don't use other people's IP

just make your own, it can be as derivative as hell as long as there isn't a reasonable "confusion" argument

So... soviet jump game. Just much shittier and destined to be shut down, because instead of spoofing characters and levels they are direct ripoffs.
