Yeeaaaah, you're an idiot.

Haters gonna hate, what a fitting name.

I really hate people like you.

This is a pretty useless article, sorry. Try rendering that carbon fibre bit yellow, then look at it. It would look ridiculous. Right now, it's reflecting the shape that you see in the door, which is made of carbon fibre. Additionally, the P1's interior doesn't go as far back as that bit, so the window would have to…

I've been called a genius a few dozen times today alone IMO and even I can't figure out how these consoles launched feature inferior(by a long shot, especially the one) to CONSOLES THESE GUYS FREAKING MADE YEARS AGO. The industry "leaders" are getting worse and worse at there job (Microsoft, ea, acclaim). I want to…

Did that really make you laugh out loud?

I SIT HERE ALL DAY TRYING TOO FIND A STUPIDLY EASY WAY TOO MAKE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A DAY WHILST DOING VERY LITTLE WORK AND THIS MOTHERLICKER FINDS ONE AND JUST THROWS IT THE FUSJDKFNHSDFJGVHHJNGDJGNFD AWAY, ARGHHHHHHH, I think I'm gonna have a stroke.

You said "ass but."

As far as I can tell, the guy didn't steal anything. There are striking visual similarities to Mario sprites, but nothing is straight up stolen.

it's not even lifted from the game, he created new art if you compare the pipes and the backgrounds and stuff. you people are overreacting just like kotaku wants you to.

It's a freaking pipe that doesn't even have similar highlighting nor colors. Sure the shape is similar but it definitely isn't the "same pipe".

So the palette is different. The shading is different. The floor is different. It doesn't observe the same stylisation (double black lines on Mario's right hand side of the pipe). The character is different. The background is different.

Kotaku, you are a shitty tabloid sometimes.

"Ripped Art" =/= "Art inspired by..."

So, in all honesty, I thought the art was a lot more Mario-ish before reading this article. In fact, until you put them side by side, I would have said the bird and the pipes were the same sprites as a Mario game.

Wow, you are roughly 100% wrong.

What you are saying isn't exactly true. And it sounds slightly odd. Sure, maybe fighting/shoot'em up games are housed in "generic" cabinets so the arcades can easily swap them out with new titles. However, I wouldn't say this makes them "less superior," especially if you know anything about Japanese arcade parts…

Try owning these games in North America. Much harder to maintain, upgrade, etc. because the Japanese companies do not support your country or the fact that you imported their game out of the zone where it was licensed.

I own 5 japanese music game machines all from Japan. DDR, DrumMania, GuitarFreaks, beatmania and…
