I said 2D SIDESCROLLING.

DK was actually a ripoff of Space Panic, it just added the jump technique. A bit like PSABR, mimicing Smash Bros but adding its own stuff.

This industry is filled with liars, cheaters and whores!

You make it sound as if Nintendo never created anything new. On the topic, I find Mario is the first real sidescroller.

Another thing, it's not because a company follows another company in innovation that it's copying. A company would be copying when it's essentially taking everything another company has done and recreating the same thing with maybe a different solution. It's not the same as Kinect versus Wii for example, where MS actually did something new. kudos Sony right?

There were plenty of sidescrollers before nintendo did it. The first sidescrolling platformer was jump bug:

Pac-land also came out before super mario bros. The similarities between the two might surprise some people.

 

OT: as someone already stated achievements were something activision came up with on the 2600:
