Obviously Nintendo doesn't own this type of art style, but the people behind this clearly were trying to replicate what's in Link's Awakening given how eerily similar it looks that it couldn't be accidental nor inspired by it.
Comparisons are fine but unironically calling a game a "killer" of another is completely pathetic. Especially when that "killer" ended up without lasting appeal anyway.
Either Atlus is out of touch or they're just trolling us. And I'm going with the former since they thought it was a good idea to gatekeep streamer's/let's players from streaming all of Persona 5 and Strikers.
Indie World came and still no Silksong. How tf is an indie game more cryptic than Elden Ring before its release? At least that had an excuse given its scale.
I know this is about Zelda but I'm surprised you brushed over the "Advance Wars 1 + 2 in December" part. Unless they decided to polish it again, Nintendo has no reason to keep it delayed. The game is already complete.
Square Enix throwing away their western division so they can focus on NFTs despite acknowledging that people who "play to have fun" don't want them. Good to know.
"When things like bonus animations and letterbox backgrounds are locked to pre-orders (or given as early access bonuses if you pre-order special editions),"
How tf has the gaming industry stooped so low that THIS is even ok? I thought Sega selling bloody gore effects behind paid DLC multiple times was bad enough.
At least people who spout "Sega does what Nintendon't" can stfu for now lmao.
@nessisonett Have you seen their game portfolio? They've been doing ports of Skylanders until Crash and even then weren't brought on to do Crash Team Racing and Crash 4. Blizzard definitely needed the support since their rep was in the gutter even before the lawsuit.
"As you know, one of our biggest goals with Two Point Campus is to launch on PC and console platforms from day one, and we want to make sure that every single one of you gets the best quality game no matter what you're playing on."
Didn't Doom Eternal and Dying Light 2 also promise this yet still delayed the Switch version?
@icomma It's still body movements. Not freaking "choreography". He didn't even mention that anyway. He's still only doing it for the money Epic made for Ukraine. Nothing more.
@BabyYoda71 One of the lawsuits of Epic "stealing" dance moves (the Carlton one I believe) ended because the dance move wasn't significant enough to warrant the case going further. I don't see why he should get anything (he's clearly in for the money Epic made for Ukraine). And the parents thing was supposed to be an insult though that was unnecessary.
@icomma Body movements aren't copyrightable in the slightest and it's ridiculous to assume so. Besides the dance moves Epic "stole" are nods to the original dances.
People really should be focusing on copyright law more than Nintendo when it comes to their bs DMCAs. The law literally gives any company the right to copyright strike something as long as it features their property no matter the context. Seriously, the majority of what gets striked against wouldn't be taken down if context actually mattered to the law. Even if it's decades old and isn't even being produced anymore.
@Zebetite You just admitted your comment wasn't going to be about Rowling yet you go and say that sentence. Basically contradicting the point. Not like people who are actually interested in the game would be concerned about Rowling's involvement (or lack thereof)
"Welcome to Atlus, Switch fans, the company that really doesn’t want you to play any mainline Persona games, but does want you to play their canon sequels"
New Horizons and Three Houses have this on their ratings yet they don't actually contain them. I don't see why this game would still include them since the other Mario sports games didn't have them.
Love how someone makes a compelling thread about this and Youtube's response is basically "Nah that's not it". What a competent site.
Also, "these are all valid and in full compliance with copyright rules" yet the creator can also dispute them. Meaning that these claims are in fact NOT valid and in full compliance with copyright rules.

Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You Would Like More Nintendo Switch Games
@DemonKow Strikers isn't non-canon so that makes the joke even better.

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Being Eyed Up For A Potential Takeover

By "pretty", you mean overwhelmingly? Not even NFT enthusiasts were interested.

How is it that Sega keeps taking step-backs with Sonic when their other games don't have to go through with this?

Re: Vicarious Visions Is Seemingly No More After It Merges With Blizzard Entertainment
@Giancarlothomaz Except Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, and even Crash 4 weren't given to Vicarious Visions
Re: Vicarious Visions Is Seemingly No More After It Merges With Blizzard Entertainment
@nessisonett I mean that and Crash N Sane Trilogy was all they worked on before Diablo 2.

Re: Feature: 6 Things We Pokémon Vets Want To See In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
No trade evolutions. Simple as that. Arceus doing it doesn't count since there was no trading to begin with.
Re: Epic Games Faces Lawsuit Over The 'It's Complicated' Fortnite Dance
People claiming that Epic makes money off the "stolen" dance moves don't realize that they don't sell the dances directly.

Re: Epic Games Faces Lawsuit Over The 'It's Complicated' Fortnite Dance
@Arawn93 So? Doesn't give him the right to sue since it's just body movements.

The joke was fine without the second sentence yet you had to include it anyway.

Re: Random: Tails Gets His Game Face On In Sonic 2's US Movie Poster

Re: Plug In Digital Is The Latest Game Company To Target Cryptocurrencies And NFTs
@LouBlu08 Same reason why loot boxes were pushed despite being widely criticized. Except this idea is worse.
Re: Plug In Digital Is The Latest Game Company To Target Cryptocurrencies And NFTs
And in no more than two weeks we'll be getting an article about how they're not doing NFTs because people told them the obvious.

So he backtracks only 2 and a half weeks after? At least he did the right thing.
