Kind of hard to tell if this is supposed to be legit when there's plenty of moments that would suggest otherwise (like putting Goku despite the obvious or forgetting that Chorus Kids were actual Smash candidates).
Nintendo's done this for years now so it's not surprising in the slightest. Especially since the only reason they're still allowed to do that is because copyright law says so. We all know copyright holders (especially when it's a big corporation) can abuse that law in their favor and they know project creators can't do anything to fight it.
And regarding this quote: "it must also be seen to be discouraging and seeking to prevent copyright infringements in an active manner or risk leaving itself vulnerable in future legal disputes. Turning a blind eye in a single case sets a precedent that opens the door to copyright headaches down the line with other potentially more egregious projects."
You sure because Sega seems to be doing just fine despite all the Sonic fan games
The fact that a fan project built from scratch can be taken down just because and the project creator can't do anything to fight against it shows how much of a joke copyright law is.
@KateGray What's also funny is that PuffballsUnited didn't seem to be bothered by Fortnite "stealing" from Among Us. Only that he wished they were more creative in their version.
@DoubleDate The only thing I'll say for the first paragraph is that the game is rated T for teens. Kids shouldn't even be on it.
As for your second paragraph, Epic has never done anything like that and has no reason too. Funny enough Innersloth did "steal" from Fortnite but Epic never sued them.
@KateGray What repercussions are needed exactly? The game mode is temporary and Innersloth doesn't own the ideas for Among Us. Not our fault we don't agree with you.
And like I said, Among Us still gets a ton of youtube coverage and steals too so they're fine if this exists.
@Chibi_Manny @NatiaAdamo Lots of Among Us videos are still happening so Innersloth is fine. Besides, nothing was stolen here and the mode is only available for a short while anyway
@mr_somewhere "All that being said... this is pretty shameless. This doesn't appear to bring much new to the table so it's a big mega-corp shamelessly stealing from a small indie studio. Gross."
Way to contradict yourself lmao. Especially since, as I said, Innersloth steals too.
@huyi Don't like this stuff? Then don't read. All you're doing is being a nuisance.
Oh, and Fortnite doesn't have lootboxes and the game's name is right in the freaking title.
Real funny for you to assume you can "steal" a game idea that's been around for ages as well as body movements apparently (which funny enough, Epic stopped "stealing" a while ago anyway).
Need I remind you that Innersloth also made The Henry Stickmin Collection right? Heck, even Among Us "steals" too.
@Edu23XWiiU Too bad that doesn't stop game awards form lumping indies with the big boys. Of course, that also resulted in Among Us winning an award in 2020 despite coming 2 years before
"but the end result is something that looks so good, it's hard to imagine the rumoured Switch Pro even matching it, let alone the soon-to-be-released Switch OLED Model."
"Not a deal breaker, necessarily, albeit perhaps disappointing for a HD re-work of a Wii game; after all, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will deliver 60fps." Wow. And Sonic Colors isn't even that graphically demanding right?
It makes sense people are disappointed since the rumor sources were more legit and not from some random person on 4chan. This looks more aline to a Switch XL than a Switch Pro honestly.

Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Kind of hard to tell if this is supposed to be legit when there's plenty of moments that would suggest otherwise (like putting Goku despite the obvious or forgetting that Chorus Kids were actual Smash candidates).
Re: Sakurai Invites Everyone To Watch Smash's Final Reveal, Whether You Play The Game Or Not
Who will it be? Anyone not from Fire Emblem for sure
Re: Rumour: Konami Reportedly Reviving Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, And Silent Hill
How about Konami sells these IPs and gets out of the gaming industry once and for all? Not even trying to be edgy with this one.
Re: Bandai Namco Is Changing Its Logo In 2022
Wouldn't it be less effort and money-saving to... not change it?
Why do companies need to change their unique-looking logos into something beyond simplistic?
Re: Geoff Keighley's Game Awards Return To In-Person Events This December
No doubt indies will be lumped in with triple-a's as usual
Re: Former Mario Movie Star John Leguizamo Isn't Happy With The Casting On The New Film
Of course, he makes race a concern and does so when it does have black actors.
Re: Nintendo Officially Reveals Kirby And The Forgotten Land
Why does this have so many comments compared to the other reveals? Do people not like the idea or something?
Re: Random: Scalpers Are Now Attempting To Sell "Limited Edition" Pokémon Oreos For Outrageous Prices On eBay
Yeah I think it's time to make scalping a crime if they're stooping to this low
Re: Balan Wonderworld's Creator Yuji Naka Is Now Making Smartphone Games
Even though the game is worse than Sonic 06, it sucks that the game flopped so bad that he left and nearly went into retirement.
Re: Nickelodeon's New Brawler Might Get Character Voiceovers In The Future
Really hope this game is friendly to casuals in terms of gameplay and content available
Re: Nickelodeon's New Brawler Might Get Character Voiceovers In The Future
@Dakotastomp It still makes no sense why Nick doesn't just give them a bigger budget.
Re: Nickelodeon's New Brawler Might Get Character Voiceovers In The Future
@VoidofLight People always call games replicating an existing well-known series a "killer" yet the games never do.
Re: Nintendo Changed The Culture At Retro Studios Following Metroid Prime Crunch
You mean they didn't have to be sued or have a lengthy article written about it? That's a first
Re: UK Charts: Minecraft Blocks Mario Kart 8 Deluxe To Take Top Spot
No blue shell joke? Really?
Re: Toshiba Sounds Alarm About Ongoing Chip Supply Issues
For that long? Sure.
Re: New PEGI Gambling Criteria Means Remakes Of Old Pokémon Games Could Be Rated 18+
If video games violence don't make people violent, then simulated gambling (not loot boxes) don't make people gamble

Insert pretends to be shocked gif here

@Clyde_Radcliffe You must be fun at parties
Re: Apex Legends' Ping System Now 'Patent-Free' As EA Announces Accessibility Pledge
Learn a lesson or two Warner Bros
Re: You "Won't Believe" Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania's Next Character, Says Geoff Keighley
It'll be Joker for sure. Cause it's not like the Switch and other platforms need the mainline Persona games obviously.
Re: Among Us Devs Speak Out About Fortnite's Suspiciously Familiar 'Impostors' Mode
The mode is limited time so they don't have much to worry about
Re: Fortnite Copies From Among Us' Homework With New 'Impostors' Mode
@KateGray What's also funny is that PuffballsUnited didn't seem to be bothered by Fortnite "stealing" from Among Us. Only that he wished they were more creative in their version.
Re: Fortnite Copies From Among Us' Homework With New 'Impostors' Mode
@Ludovsky It's limited time. The only counterargument needed for comments like yours

Re: Poll: Did Nintendo Deliver Its Best Ever Indie World Showcase?
Can't believe Silksong or the Cuphead DLC still didn't show up. What's going on with those two? Especially since the DLC was announced 3 years ago
Re: Video: Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania Trailer Shows Sonic And Tails In Action
Sega still relys on Sonic even in other franchises
Re: Random: Check Out These "Epic" Free Guy Posters Inspired By Iconic Video Game Covers
@blindsquarel Some of the posters are based on properties that aren't theirs so no
Re: New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild PC Mod Makes The Game Look Better Than Ever

Think you meant consoles in general
Re: Nintendo's Stock Price Sees Biggest Fall In Two Years Following Earnings Report
@Vegeta937 I wouldn't call them "random" or even insults
Re: Nintendo's Stock Price Sees Biggest Fall In Two Years Following Earnings Report
@Vegeta937 I can now see why the Switch is more suitable for your son than you
Re: Nintendo's Stock Price Sees Biggest Fall In Two Years Following Earnings Report
@Vegeta937 I know it's underwhelming but dramatic much?
Re: Nintendo's Stock Price Sees Biggest Fall In Two Years Following Earnings Report
@San_D "Nintendo gets very little to no money from me"
Oooh, such a rebel.
@Bunkerneath That was also when BOTW was revealed to be a 2022 title when people assumed it was still coming this year.
Re: The Pokémon And Stardew Valley Hybrid Monster Harvest Gets Delayed For The Third Time
Another delay despite being so close eh? We all know how the end result for that was thanks to Cyberpunk
Re: Random: Someone Worked On Outer Worlds AND Outer Wilds At The Same Time, Somehow
Outer Wilds has no "The" in it so it's not that hard to confuse it and THE Outer Worlds
Re: Soapbox: Space Jam 2 Is A Video Game Cash-In That Doesn't Quite Get It Right
Don't forget that in adverts they only showed off Zendaya as part of the voice cast and didn't even credit one of the artists for the film.
Re: Hades Scoops Yet Another Game Of The Year Accolade At The GDC 2021 Awards
As usual, game awards always lump the indies with the bigger games

Sure I'll believe the "no plans"
Re: Random: The Switch On Phil Spencer's Shelf Was A Gift From Nintendo
"Do you think this Switch on Phil's shelf could be teasing anything?"
It showed up again so... yeah
Re: Atlus Has Seven "Project" Reveals Planned For Persona's 25th Anniversary
One of them has to be a mainline entry on Switch. Doesn't make sense that it's been getting just the spin-offs
Re: Sonic Colors: Ultimate Switch Trailer Removes 60fps Perk Of Original Video
"Not a deal breaker, necessarily, albeit perhaps disappointing for a HD re-work of a Wii game; after all, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD will deliver 60fps."
Wow. And Sonic Colors isn't even that graphically demanding right?

It makes sense people are disappointed since the rumor sources were more legit and not from some random person on 4chan. This looks more aline to a Switch XL than a Switch Pro honestly.
Re: DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods - Part Two Expected To Arrive On Switch "Later This Year"
"the unforeseen consequences of the pandemic and remote working impacted the progress of development"
Really tired of hearing this even if it's valid and understandable.
Re: Nintendo President Quizzed By Shareholders On Switch 'Pro' And Classic Mini Consoles
@andjahiam Rumors say that the new Switch model will phase out the original one.
