Just because Wario Ware is sucessful, Sony HAS to copy it? That's not a console, or a controller design, that's a GAME CONCEPT!

By the way, Sony WILL get sued if this is released. Notice the blatant Mario and Luigi cloning. Those thar at Sony are bitches.

Its so similar to Mario and Luigi, I dont believe that this is real. Sony wouldn't do that.

Whoever thought up that game is in deep ****. I'd be angry but it seems to me Nintendo's wrath will be much stronger than mine.

It's too bad when Nintendo's original ideas always get copied, and it's even worse when the copies sell better and Nintendo gets no credit. Look at the Blinx the Time Sweeper (Xbox) and Luigi's Mansion. There's far too many similarities there. And the Wavebird controller? Now it's a standard for controllers to be wireless. Far too often are Nintendo's ideas ripped. I hope whoever's bright idea it was to use Mario and Luigi lookalikes gets it.

I can't beleive they would even try that its a really dumb thing for them to do if that gets released they will get sued for sure.

You'd think they'd have learned from their mistakes in copyright enfringement after they got sued for their controller. I'm a pretty big fan of Sony, but it'll be funny to see where this goes.

Whoa...do they seriously think they can get away with this!? It really ticks me off when people do things like this! We must take action! *holds up torch and pitchfork*

...

Right after Kingdom Hearts 2 and FFXII come out. Oh, and Daxter too!
*sets down torch and pitchfork and goes back to flipping through KH manga*

Fuc*ing piece of ****! I always hate PS, but now I'm really angry at them!
As R said, whoever made the game is a freaking idiot, no ofense.

This just makes me madder at them. I was already fuming at them about.... something else....

Also, if you follow the link to the official website, you can view a trailer for it. The site is Japanese, but, when the sites done loading, you can see a VHS tape at the bottom left-hand corner. Click, and you see the trailer.

Mario and Luigi are at the very beginning of the trailer.

I lol'ed.

But seriously, I hope Nintendo doth get their money's worth and then some here.

Zeek · #12 28th October 2005, 02:04 AM

What the heck?....

Ah, I love Nintendo fanboys. So narrowminded.

I saw a commercial for this game on public TV. I RARELY watch TV and I saw the preview for this game and thought wtf already. I'm shocked no one else has.

I don't know how this would go. I guess it depends on who has the better attorneys. I can definitely see how Nintendo could start a claim, but I also see how Sony could shoot them down.

Just for the record, "Blinx the Time Sweeper (Xbox) and Luigi's Mansion" are NOT similar even in concept. I've played both thoroughly and don't see how you're making this connection, personally? Sure, you can suck things up but (...). You can suck things up in Mickey's Circus Adventure too, and that is an OLD OLD game. You don't even suck up the same TYPE of things in Blinx. Plus it is more of a direct suck up, not a gradual one.

Quoted for emphasis, though this applies to all fanboy-ism. (I'm really tempted to de-rail this thread into a Freakazoid topic, but I'll play nice.)

I can definitely see how this could border on being copywrite infringement based on the duplication of intellectual property, but mostly I view it as a refreshing parody of video games in general. So it's a blatent rip-off, which is something that applies to nearly every single video game in creation. I personally say just laugh, think of it as an odd tribute, and move on.
