Except it is literally not their work.  It is Nintendo's design and IP.  That is the whole point.  

And Dreams isn't free.  A major selling point is playing the creation the players create.  And players are creating designs based on Nintendo's IP.  Nintendo is legally correct on this one.  The courts don't care what random people on the internet think/feel.  There is a reason Sony is assisting Nintendo on this.  

Do I personally think Nintendo overreacts?  Sure.  But they are within their legal right.  I was excited about the fan remake of Chrono Trigger, but Square shut it down.  Square wasn't wrong to do so, it is their IP.    

And the idea of IP expiring after 10 years is still crazy to me, not directly aimed at you btw, but a general comment.  So I can start a soft drink company and brand it Coke or Pepsi?  Lol, yeah giant **** no.

The key thing is the word Mario. If they want to make a mario style game on dreams then they shouldn't have used assets that relates to Mario in any shape or form. Why not just make new characters? 

That's like if ubisoft made a Mario Rabbids game without Nintendo permission.

And i also do not think it should be aplauded when people make uncreative copys of a brand,is that fanmade or is it just made to gain the most popularity it can at the expense of the brand?

Questionable behaviour i do think.

So if I draw the Mona Lisa, because my attempt wasn't perfect or original the fact that it was fan-made should be frowned upon? I would think it should only be frowned upon the second try and sell it or monetize it.

OK,  I am still not following this...

Let's take for instance you buy a Cintiq tablet, that has a user share function. So you can draw whatever you want on ts tablet and share it with everyone that has a Cintiq tablet. You are not getting paid for what you have drawn or shared. Cintiq just made you something that you could just draw whatever you want and share it within the community.

What you guys are saying, is that if I decide to draw a link character and share it, Nintendo would have a problem with me?

To play those Mario levels on dreams you need to buy A PS4 and Dreams. Those Mario levels can be seen as a promoting the game so people can buy a PS4 and Dreams to play Mario levels. Quality is not a criteria here. 

Other companies may not have a problem with this. But Nintendo has the RIGHTS to remove those fan made games. 



Pocky Lover Boy!

WTF. Thats shit and not okay @ Nintendo

He copied from Nintendo ip, that is illegal. If it is legal, Sony wouldn't have to listen to Nin.

So Nintendo is right when they do it.

"Why would Sony expend money on litigation to avoid removing the content Nintendo requested" Even Sony know this fan game is illegal, so they have to remove it, thank you for agreeing with me.

They are in their right to take measures, in this case I do agree they have ground, but several others they don't.

And no, it doesn't need to be illegal for sony to agree to take it out. Litigation cost is still very high even if you are right or there isn't anything illegal occuring.

So after all, Nintendo is right in this case, good.

I kinda understand why Nintendo has to do this but it's kinda silly at the same time.

If the creators of the fan game made the character sorta like Mario but not really Mario, and didn't use the name at all, would Nintendo be entitled to do this as well?

He made Mario levels in Dreams and that could draw peoples in to buy Dreams on PS4 while using a Nintendo brand, it isn't about the maker, it's about making money from it without owning Nintendo's brand.

Nintendo is right to do so by law, by Moral and fan support NO

No to the moral and the support of non-Nintendo fans, agree with you. But to Nintendo fans? They don't care, they already have Nintendo platforms with Mario games on it legally.

Nintendo always a dick when it comes to freedom even for their own fans, Nintendo is not perfect. Can you just accepted. Being a fan to toy box is OK but defending like death is just weird , every company made a mistake and they changed fore good. Just read my new thread on how Nintendo decision on using cartridge made them loosing FFVII.

Bold: So is Sony.

Second Bold: Switch is using cartridge right now, thank you for your concern.

Nintendo and Sony are competitors, if you want to play Nintendo games/Nintendo characters, you buy Nintendo platforms. Problem solved.

They're not being a dick. They are being protective of their properties. It is their one source of income and they need to be in control. Nintendo can't afford to lose control of their ongoing trademarks and themes. It is their livelihood. Of course there is the ever ready "But dey (the "fans") don maek any moneh"... doesn't make it less worse. Over time devaluates a trademark either way. Wannabe fans don't care, because the IPs don't belong to them anyway, and has no (monetary) value other than the money they paid for hard-/software. Those supposed fans have the luxury to simply give a ship. Nintendo does not, because their business depends on it. Your business/livelihood does not. It's easy for you to say "Nintendo is a dick". 



Hunting Season is done...

If non-Nintendo fans want to play a Nintendo game, it's simple: buy a Nintendo console. It's overwhelmingly Nintendo's right to ask that, it's their property, it belongs to them.

Did you forget that Nintendo and Sony are competitors?

The problem is , people who play dreams most of them also has Switch and Nintendo console that's a fact. I have 3Ds and I have N64 and SNES , cannot i have freedom by moding my character like Mario ???
