Five5 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Wow they could have at least made a location that was totally different to anything in Splatoon. Also its called squid wars but is there anything even squid like in that Ashoka video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erdall Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Wow they could have at least made a location that was totally different to anything in Splatoon.

To use him as an excuse ... nah, seriously, these guys sucks, even if they do that as 'legitimate defense', I wouldn't be surprised. They at least shall recognize this wholly incredible masquerade or they will get under zero Nintendo customers for a loooong time ... more or less.

Nobody Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Couldn't they even have used another animal rather than squids? lol nintendo fanboy 12 years old me would be so mad at this he'd boycott disney Edited September 13, 2015 by Nobody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant head Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Is this real? If so, my respect points for Disney have decreased drastically. It's not even a GOOD rip-off of Splatoon. Absolutely shameful. I don't think it's possible for my respect for Disney to go lower than it's been for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kantoorfarina Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 This is like that one chinese TF2 Rip-off which I can't remember the name of for the life of me, except this is the Splatoon version. It doesn't even look fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarsamar Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I am not a lawyer, but my guess would be that suing first and asking questions later is a terrible idea, particularly against Disney. The proper recourse would probably be to issue a C&D and see whether Disney complies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five5 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Another way of looking at this is that gamers that don't have a wiiU or minecraft but can play Disney infinity can give Splatoon a try, good and bad imitators were always inevitable. Though the shooting mechanics are totally unacceptable to a splatoon player even if walls count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irony Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 What the F**k!? Disney has no shame, does it? The greedy d*****ds... I b****y well hope that Nintendo slap a C&D on those w*****rs... Couldn't they even have used another animal rather than squids? lol nintendo fanboy 12 years old me would be so mad at this he'd boycott disney That's what I have been doing for the last couple of years, but I was slowly ending the boycott... Well, I guess I'll be boycotting Disney for a while longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think Disney could survive losing a select number of Splatoon fans and not feel it on their sales at all. As long as they have Frozen, Marvel, Pixar, Pirates and Star Wars, and all associated merchandise, they can probably survive all of Nintendo's fanbase boycotting them and still turn enough profit at the end of the year to make a dozen more bad remakes of good animated features.

Anacybele Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Two things that defined my childhood are Nintendo and Disney. Now to see one blatantly steal from the other...that just really makes me mad. I don't want to side with either one of them, I always loved both. Sure, both have made weirdass decisions in more recent times, but they've also still made great stuff at the same time. Still, I have to admit that it would probably be best for Nintendo to take this to court, as this is still theft and that's wrong. Disney is huge, but so is Nintendo. They're practically parallels of each other. I think Mario can take on Mickey Mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinehollow Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 This is hilariously stupid and kinda frustrating because these dipshits are going to get away with it anyway. Calling it "Squid Wars" and having a shitty Arowana Mall ain't even subtle,either.There's just asking for a lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Mage Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Something just hit me, They called it squid wars, used Davy Jones as "mascot" of sorts, used like ink, turf and squid, and even used squid puns which Splatoon is know for. Did Disney seriously thought that people would't notice? I still love Disney, but man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 >squiddiest kid on the block "YOU'RE A KID NOW YOU'RE A SQUID NOW" Anyone who's heard anything about Splatoon (and those commercials) would definitely notice the reference.

Zera Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 On the bright side, with this Disney has more or less officially declared that Nintendo's game is vastly superior to their's, which is why I just bought Splatoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You coulda just called it paint battle or colour war, but no, you had to make sure everyone knew who you were ripping off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling for lawsuits oh wow lol It's just an homage jeez who cares An homage is something that references something else while still having its own identity, this is a rip-off, lets not confuse the two. But yeah, a lawsuit would be ultimately pointless and trivial, especially since this is just a game mode in a large game series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water Mage Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) lmfao really easy to see in this thread who are the huge ass Nintendo fanboys. Calling for lawsuits oh wow lol It's just an homage jeez who caresIt's not quite like that.First, if the situation was reversed, and it was Nintendo copying stuff from Disney, most people in this thread would think that Disney should sue Nintendo, just like they're saying Nintendo should sue Disney. While I don't a lawsuit is the best thing for this, Nintendo should at least issue a Cease&Desist warning. Second, if it were a homage, they should have said it was homage, but at no point they mention Nintendo. When people make homages, they should say who they are making a homage of, a good example is the Playstation All-Stars game, Sony said from the beginning that they made the game because they admire Smash Bros. Third, while game companies making clone of popular games to try to cash-in in their popularity is nothing new, they at least should try to be subtle, which they aren't, not in the least. The reason most people are shocked is at how is blatantly obvious that they are copying Splatoon. Seriously, like I said before, they are even using words like squid, turf, ink and are even making squid puns, which Splatoon is know for. You can't get more blatant that this. They at least could have used different terms for the game. Edited September 14, 2015 by Water Mage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
