1: I just don't see how a third party game can be held against Nintendo in this particular instance. 2: I just can't see how those Wii games in your post fall into that category. |
1: Well We Sing and We Dance games are "Licensed by Nintendo" which means "that the products have been evaluated and licensed by Nintendo". PlayStation had "nothing to do" with the game 3D Dot Game Heroes developed by Silicon Studio and published by Atlus and yet were accused of copying Zelda.
2: If you don't think Nintendo has anything to do with the approval of a SingStar "rip off" released exclusively for their system it's fine by me. Then forget about the We Sing games. You can't see how the other EyeToy series of games inspired Nintendo to develop and publish the Wii series of games?
EyeToy Play Sports (motion controlled boxing, tennis, etc) -> Wii Sports (motion controlled boxing, tennis, etc)
EyeToy Play (motion controlled minigames) -> Wii Play (motion controlled minigames)
EyeToy Kinetic (motion controlled exercise game) -> Wii Fit (motion controlled exercise game)
EyeToy Monkey Mania (motion controlled party games) -> Wii Party (motion controlled party games)
SingStar (competitive music/party game) -> Sing Party (competitive music/party game)
Sing Party is also both developed and published by Nintendo.
