Really can't say anything about this incident in particular when there's little more than Internet hearsay to go on (which isn't what I'd call "reliable evidence.")
But as someone who plans to study game design in Japan, and eventually start a creative social enterprise--game development/design being just one facet--it's something to consider at the very least. I myself am a creative, self-taught as an artist, writer, and photographer; so, I get why due credit is important to give. But since I'm going for a social enterprise and not simply a game studio, that does change things up a bit--by adding extra steps and challenges that I will have to undertake since I do want its foundation to be charity and benevolent work, and not simply to make a profit.
When things like this break news, it's just a reminder to live by higher standards. It's nothing special and certainly nothing that should stir up debate (or maybe flame wars is a better way of putting it).
I don't understand how people can lament the death of "old" Paper Mario when there are many indie devs stepping up to deliver what you guys are longing for. It doesn't HAVE to be Nintendo.
Here's a short list of old-style Paper Mario-inspired games, both released and in the works (that I'm aware of:
Bug Fables The Outbound Ghost Scrap Story Born of Bread
Don't sit and whine about Nintendo not giving you what you want, because you're not going to change a thing. It's a disservice to these indie devs, too--throw your money behind them if the Paper Mario of old is so important to you.
Honestly, playing the first Pokemon Snap as a kid, I didn't expect to be a self-taught photographer...or artist, or writer (I'm all of these). But I have way more appreciation for Snap now than I did back then, as much as I liked it then.
Looks like there's a troll here in the comments, too. Mildly tempted to counter with photos of culinary art I've done, but...nah.
