The problem isn't that it is an imitation. The problem is that the denial of imitation.

The Devs admit freely they were inspired by smash brothers, what more do you want from them, a public hanging?

I didn't say the devs were the problem.


The Playstation fanboys admit that it's a ripoff, but that doesn't mean it can't be a good game.  On the other hand, the Nintendo fanboys are bashing it because it's a Sony game.  All the other Smash Bros ripoffs everyone is fine with, regardless of quality, but now that Nintendo's competitor is making a ripoff, let's bash them because there's the high probability that it's going to be better.

The Super Smash series is good, there's  a high probability that this will be good.  If you're not a fan of Sony, then why not just avoid the game.  It's not like other people buying this game affect you in any way.  Like someone else said.  If this turns out to be better, it only benefits both the Sony fans and Nintendo fans, because competition fuels innovation and creativity.

Im a gaming fan, not a nintendo or sony fan, just like gaming in general. but this really bugs me. sony especially, they seem to just rip off everyone elses ideas without bringing anything original to the table.

although im sure nintendo have ripped off other peoples ideas too. id like to know if instances of that, i havent heard of any, but im sure they must have, as they all do it.

You don't have to be a fanboy to dislike a company.   I own every portable since the Gameboy released by Nintendo and most consoles, but I'm anti Nintendo.  I don't mind if Nintendo comes out with a ripoff of a Sony franchise.  If it's good I'll play it.

Sony ripped off Nintendo.  Microsoft ripped off Nintendo.  Guess what.  Just about everything is going to be a ripoff, because there's almost nothing out there that hasn't been done before.  I don't know what brand of toothpaste was the very first, but I guarantee my preferred toothpaste is a ripoff.  The Snuggie is a ripoff of the poncho(somewhat ripoff, somewhat redesign.)  Final Fantasy is a ripoff of Dragon Quest, which is a ripoff of D&D, which ripped off bards who sang about people who killed dragons, who ripped off people who really did go and slay dragons(okay, so those last few aren't really ripoffs, but they're likenesses.)

Does it really matter who ripped off who?  I'm a Mechwarrior fan, but I'm also a Armored Core fan despite the series being a ripoff.  I'm a Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy fan, although the Wild ARMs series is better than both in my opinion.  I'm a Metroid and Castlevania fan, even the exploration Castlevania games which people like to call Metroidvania(much to my dislike.)  I'm a Twisted Metal fan and I like Rogue Trip.  This could go on.  But last one.  I like 3D Dot Game Heroes better than I like any Zelda.
