Nintendo makes peace with the makers of one of Super Mario Brother's biggest ripoffs - 12-09-08

Have you ever heard of the Great Giana Sisters? Best...ripoff...ever. Well, I haven't played the original late 80's Atari or Amiga version, but a little emulator can take you a long way.

The great counterfeit was made in 1987 by one programmer Armin Gessert and published by Rainbow...

Yeah, the boxart isn't amazing, but so long as the game's put together well enough, it could be a solid platformer - and I love platformers.

The original wasn't that bad either (well, Mario Bros wasn't, so how could Giana be? lmao)

Besides, since the game is already made or whatever wont Nintendo just profit in the end even though it would be a tiny one??

LOL in the pic, they look like guys
:rofl:
But it's the whole fact they they'd go back to defeated boot legged games and then give them the right to make games for them...I mean, why would they even waste their time on them? 0.o

None of it makes sense really.

This was a classic back in the day, we used to play it on the Commodore 64. I'm excited for the DS version, it will be neat to see an updated return. The kiddies seem to be bashing it, but it was a lot of fun for those than wanted more Mario at a time when there was only Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, and Super Mario Bros...

I don't remember what is was called, but I got this game's pack thing for tv that had a bunch a of games on it.
Anyways, this one game riped off SMB so badly, it was hilarious.
It was pretty much SMB, only you played as a panda, the mushrooms where bottles of red medicine (which looked like it was stolen from Zelda), the background was the same (only recoloured), it even had the warp pipes.
What was best though was that the music was the same, only played backwards.
