Phil writes, "Nintendo's Yoshi originally debuted in the masterful Super Mario World in 1991. Four years later, Yoshi received his first starring role, albeit sharing the spotlight with an infant Mario. This game would create a series of games starring the ever faithful dinosaur (even in Super Mario World when Mario heartlessly leaps off of him, causing Yoshi to fall into a pit). The games range from console offerings to handheld entries. These five Yoshi platformers are what I consider the best and my absolute favorites."
Nintendo fans discover that an old game released by the United States government includes audio that it took from the Nintendo DS game, Yoshi's Island DS.
Truth isn't truth. If the White House says it isn't stolen or even that Nintendo stole it from them, their followers are kinda obligated to believe it.
So someone hired a developer to make a flash game, and that developer used music from Yoshi's Island. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't it the developer's fault first and foremost for knowingly ripping off the music?
And No! Most likely no one in the EPA questioned the music because they most likely never played Yoshi's Island. So, IMO, it's not the gov's fault, it's the developer's fault... and I'm damn certain the gov will be no longer doing business with them.
The dev could be held culpable, but the company, or in this case the government, is ultimately responsible for performing its due diligence and not infringing on copyright.
Well... If the company / government were smart (not saying they always are...), they would have put in the contract that the product will be made on "good faith." And if not, then they would be able to get the dev for breach of contract.
Yeah, that's why I said the dev could be held culpable. But if Nintendo decided to sue, which they probably wouldn't and would just issue a cease and desist, then they'd sue the US government, then the government would sue the developer, or there would already be something in the contract to deal with that...which wouldn't surprise me being it's from the US government.
The Wii U was full of some of Nintendo's best games, which allowed you to go on epic adventures that only Nintendo could offer. Unfortunately though, nobody played these games.
Because of this, Nintendo are wisely porting the majority of the Wii U's library. Porting over games from the Wii U to the Switch has many advantages such as allowing a whole new audience to experience great titles and it is so much cheaper to make a port than a whole new game.
Unfortunately there are numerous games rotting away on the Wii U, that would make great additions to the Switch's library.
"It's hard not to love Kirby and Yoshi but what if you had to choose between the two? Let's explore them as characters as well as take a look at their games and see which cutie comes out on top." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
