i don't think they can or will. it's more the likeness of their characters that they're [overly] protective of.

Sony going after Dreams creations that use Nintendo IP at the request of Nintendo
- Thread starter Equanimity
- Start date
yup. After the 3DS, I haven't bought a single console from them and haven't looked back. No regrets.
Of course they are, it's their intellectual property and weather the creators of said fan games featuring their IPs are doing this with ill intend or not doesn't matter. They will shut down and enforce the shut down of everything that is infringing their copyrights they did so in the past several times already.
Nobody thinks this was made by Nintendo. And even then, you're saying people should feel sorry for a corporation lol.
So is Nintendo going to go after UE4 Mario creations?
It doesn't seem that bad creating Mario looking thing in Dreams, UE4 etc. You get to use a Mario looking character to run around in a different types of environments.
What they should do is take down Youtube Dream videos with Mario's name listed in the title.

Nope, I didn't say that.
Nobody has to feel sorry for a corporation, also nobody without a video games background might think this was made by Nintendo, don't think too highly of the general population though.
They're quite niche compared to Dreams which got a lot of media attention and aren't "sold" by Sony on a competing system, that might be an issue as well ;)
you think they will go after a game with an original character in an original world just because the character might be copying mario's moveset? at this point mario's moveset is widely used in so many platforms that are officially sold on multiple platforms (including nintendo's), i don't think i've ever heard nintendo going after a game or a fan-game for copying the gameplay or moveset of one of their games or characters.
anytime i hear about them shutting down something or sending a C&D it's because one of their characters was being used in that project or something like a straight up remake or port.
Are they? They are going against iconic looking characters that resemble their own, from what I've seen in the first post here. I don't think movesets have anything to do with this, it's just the visuals.
read the post i was replying to, someone was asking whether or not nintendo would go after an otherwise original game just because it was copying mario's moveset.
Literally the whole thing with Dreams is that it's a platform where anyone can put up their creations. Pretty sure people playing Dreams stuff are aware that the fanart on it isn't made by the corporations that own the franchises.
Unless you're seriously saying people think that the creations featuring Shrek, Rick & Morty, Wallace & Gromit, and Peter Griffin are collaborations between Dreamworks, Adult Swim, Aardman, and Fox.
I mean, maybe there's some kids who'll think that the original creators had some sort of involvement but not nearly to the point where people generally think these are official creations.
And regardless, I don't really think it matters.
You're right, the only people who should be making Mario stuff are people who originally created it. This is why every Mario game after the first one is heresy, as each one of them had people working on it who didn't create the original game and character. And with each game less of the original team got involved, so progressively each was made by more and more creatively bankrupt hacks.
my guy, follow the replies.
someone said will nintendo go after a game for copying mario's moveset
i said i don't think so
you quoted me saying yeah they will
Edit: Nvm
Yes. People are upset because Nintendo is the only publisher who are coming down hard on these fan creations. You wouldn't be seeing all this discontent if all the other devs/publishers had the same response.
Yep, they open the gate and they will spend a big amount of money / time just for that.
It can kill the game.
Well hopefully this backfires then...just like the Nintendo PlayStation.
Hopefully thousands of orginal creations going forward will spark a character that's perfect to be a new mascot for a system... and it will make everyone forget about Niiiinteeendooo's precious Mario.
Jk obviously. Love you Mario, you're forever in my heart. 🙂
so if/when other devs/publishers start enforcing their copyrights this will be ok then?
Honestly, using any IP you don't own to create a fangame you always run the risk of this happening, but it still sucks that Nintendo is so opposed to fangames with its IP.
Why can't creators just create a new character of their own rather than ripping off a well established one. Of course Nintendo will come after them, its their IP. It's also nonsense to say its anti-consumer.
Klonoa is the superior mascot anyway. All those creators should just switch to making Klonoa models and games.
it's not like they are making money out of it. it's just for fun, probably by people who love Mario, simple as that.
You're changing the topic. I'm explaining to you why the people in this thread are upset at Nintendo. If everyone was doing what Nintendo is doing, then the people in this thread wouldn't be upset at Nintendo, and there would be no need for me to explain to you why the people in this thread are upset. It's not about whether or not the practice itself is okay; it's about why only one single publisher seems to be doing it.
Sad but Nintendo has alays been like this. Doesn't mean that other stuff will have the same fate. Pretty sure Sega will never complain about the Sonic games for example
Still I am amazed at the people who think that it is not Nintendo's right to block everything related to her
it is a bit silly but I think it might encourage creativity in a way that's more beneficial for the consumer and the creators
Like, imagine some teen makes a really good 3D platformer with their own creations, then later in life they adapt that into their own game. They might not get that creative spark if they just recreated Bob-Omb Battlefield for the 20th time.

They will have known Nintendo is fiercely protective of their IP so why do it in the first place. Every time someone has made a fan project with Nintendo IP involved, people know what will happen as it inevitably ends up in the media. Just because it's for fun doesn't mean Nintendo shouldn't protect their IP, they would be a shitty business if they didn't.
