Kitsune Tails Is Getting A Prequel, And It Looks A Lot Like Super Mario Bros

I have no clue what you just said

Looks fun and cute

It's a clear rip-off of Super Mario Bros 3, but gosh dang it it's a CUTE one.
I would enjoy playing this.

EDIT: knowing that Super Bernie World exists makes me want to play this even more!

Ummm.... this practically looks like a reskinned Super Mario Bros game.

It doesn't just look like a Super Mario Bros game. There are scenes in that video that literally look like they were ripped right out of a super mario game and reskinned. I mean wow. How is this not getting flagged by Nintendo?

I know there are lots of Super Mario inspired games out there like the Giana Sisters and Alex Kidd but those games had concept elements unique to their gameplay and different assets of how their levels are process. This game doesn't seem like it had any of that unique elements, it's literally just a one to one clone ripoff of a 2D Super Mario Bros. game but without the license contents of Nintendo. Hopefully if it's successful it would evolve into something better and unique.

I was interested until I seen how much of a rip of of SM3 it is and well the Bernie Sanders DLC was what put it in the grave for me.

@PharoneTheGnome I’m sure Nintendo will wait until they actually get close to release. Originally this was suppose to release in first quarter this year so give it time and when they actually go to release Nintendo will slap them with a lawsuit and they should.

I feel that the Kitsune Tails Zero is an April Fools, given how they make it practically a 1:1 duplicate of Super Mario Bros. They might still release “something”, but it will be obviously intended as a joke release. It is already April in the parts of the world that inspired this game at least. (Can’t figure out where the developer is based, think they might be an online team with no office location).
The other game looks more legit. Sure it has some similarities to Mario 3, but there’s also some unique elements shown off in the trailer. Also, if you’re going to take heavy inspiration from a game, it might as well be one of the classics like Mario 3.

I don't get it. We're getting a prequel for a game that is yet to be released?

....There's a difference between being inspired by a game and being a rip-off of a game. This is a Super Mario Bros. rip off...

This is the most impressive, albeit unimaginative, Mario Maker mod I've ever seen.

Seriously, though, doesn't NL have a policy about stories like this? They should only be published one day a year, I think (i.e. tomorrow).

@KateGray I read somewhere that you've managed to live here for a while, and yet have not become... experienced enough to form a skeptical opinion about misfurred bandits - Tanookis - filthy raccoons. That's actually kind of impressive, in a way, so I guess you should be allowed to form your own opinion. I am just going to say that combat between tanookis and "our" raccoons would probably end badly for the latter... and a tanooki that lost the battle would probably commit seppuku out of the deepest Japanese sense of honour. Ours would just nurse his wounds in a bin, between the discarded poutine and some bad samosas.

It definitely looks like Super Mario Bros., but it seems that it won't quite feel like Super Mario Bros. The mechanics look somewhat less nuanced, by comparison.

There are plenty of Mario engines for game maker.

I could live with a well done polished Clone.
Don't know why People are so against, it is what many say about Fan Games, do your own Charakters and don't get stalked by Nintendo.

I love SMB3. This looks fun and deserves a play through
