So what's the problem? Everyone knows that copying other gaming companies' ideas is only bad if Nintendo or M$ does it.

What the hell are you talking about? People only bitch when Sony even remotely does anything SLIGHTLY similar to Nintendo's. e.g Move to Wii did you forget the uproar that surronds that?



huh?

Saying move to wii is just slightly similar.... it has to be a joke

I'm not entirely sure why people think copying other games is so bad.

99% of games out there start with "this or these games are our inspiration. What did they do right and what can we do better?"

Copying for the sake of doing something better and maybe even a little different from then the original it's a good thing.

Copying for the sake of copying to try stealing some marketshare is useless.

All stars battle looks like the second option imo.

I figured that was your gripe. My point still stands

Haha, that's hilarious. It's a good copy if you ask me. I got much hype for this game, even more since it is coming to the Vita

If you haven't played the game first hand, how can you be so sure?

All FPS look the same but yet no one accuses all of them of copying each other. Let's wait until it's fully out before we criticize it...what am I saying? This is the internet, we don't do that.

Is it really just a ripoff or merely a new entry in what is going to be a new genre? After Doom came out, every game that looked like it was being called a Doom-clone, but almost 20 years later we still play those kind of games, but instead of still calling them clones, they're now first-person-shooters. So I don't mind that it's heavily inspired by SSB.

Besides, I don't think that SSB is that original to begin with. It's basically a 4-player Street Fighter with Nintendo characters. http://tinyurl.com/6vqbaka

You'd think Nintendo invented the 4-way battle genre.

I can imagine there being some kind of beat-em-up game that supports 4 players, probably from the time when arcades were stil popular, but I can't really think of any. :/
