... just saw the gameplay. I mean we know they had copies of super smash bros in their office but come on that is kinda ridiculous.



It's not nearly as ridiculous as you think. 

If you're making a game of a certain genre, it would be more ridiculous not to look at other games in the same genre that have done well. 

If you're making a console FPS, look at how Call of Duty and Halo controls and aim assist.

If you're making a third person cover shooter, look at how Gears of War and Uncharted do cover.

If you're making a racing sim, look at Forza and GTA.

If you're making a 2D fighter, look at Street Fighter IV.

If you're making an arcade brawler, look at Smash Bros.

A large part of design is looking at what others did well and making it your own.

Well said twesterm, to bad you couldn't quote that to every negative nintendo fan here claiming it's a copy.
