Chinese mobile game shamelessly copies Splatoon

I wonder how much work they actually did.

Considering just how close the gameplay looks, it was probably a lot of work. Not as much work as a new game, but almost as much as a port. They can shamelessly rip off the assets, but the gameplay had to be ported over. I'm actually impressed how much they were able to copy, this looks like a downport that you would see on Wii. Which is why I'm surprised they didn't just put in a little extra effort and make it not a shameless rip-off, but it is China after all.
 
I was wondering when this was finally going to happen. Given how popular the game is, this seems like a slow responce.

Because design takes actual effort.
 
I feel like I've seen this image before:

Did they basically just take key art and used their own text over it?

Yes, along with actual game assets for their ripoff. China. Don't. Care. They won't stop, you can't stop them.
 
I was impressed by how well they copied it at first but oh god when they actually start shooting and moving through ink, it looks so terrible.
 
This channel is fairly biased against China (I think the bias is related to Falun Gong), but I think it has, at least some, explanation of why this stuff happens and Chinese companies get away with it.

Though, I have no idea how Nintendo stands as far as copyright goes...

Yeah. China Uncensored is a FalunGong channel, that does the same the Chine government is doing just vice versa.
I remember in one Video they said you cant even do normal QiGong in China, which is utter BS.

Besides that Chinese companies dont get away with it. Its just that most people dont sue them besides some bigshots like Blizzard and they usually win (even against Tencent).
Nintendo should just sue them.
 
These guys actually have a fuck load of games on here which I guess they don't have the rights for.

Prime example being Pocket-All Stars which might just be their attempt at a Smash Bros game.

Maybe nintendo has partnered with them?
 
I forgot which gaming podcast I heard this from recently, but Chinese gamers find this stuff objectionable as well. They are aware of the stereotype of China not caring.
 
This shit is infuriating. Can't they just make a real game with their talent?
I don't see talent here and wouldn't play this thing even if paid. It's the ante-Splatoon: it looks like it, but it moves like shit, sound like shit and must probably play like shit.

Paint in the ass ^^
 
do you think if I streamed this on YouTube Nintendo would come after me?



How are they, of all companies, okay with this?

Chinese gaming populace nor companies these fakes spawn off of might not enjoy this sort of bullshit one bit, but the copycat developers don't give a shit. In a chinese federal court, the chinese defendants will always be favored.

No, they wont. Otherwise Blizzard couldnt have won against Tencent, one of the biggest companies in China.
