China’s unique grasp of intellectual property once again courts controversy with the allegations that “Dinosaur Planet” in fact heavily plagiarises Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy, for the Wii.

Hahaha! Someone check the audio in the trailer. It might be ripped of some cheap MMO trailer. XD
Dinosaurs are cooler than mario.
wow looks like the most fun chinese mmo in a while.
The best thing about Chinese people is how they will declare how the evil imperialistic West-Plus-Japan is poisoning them with their influence, and in the same fucking breath announce a complete rip-off of a {movie/game/invention} made there.
This kind of astounding double-think is the key to understanding the modern Chinese mindset. We don't need you, Evil West, but oh hey here's a bunch of bootlegged copies of your movies and terrible imitations of your games.
that's probably chinese state media you are talking about, trust me, people in china who go on internet and look at stupid crap like this troll just as hard as you guys.
Isn't there already a Nintendo game called "Dinosaur Planet"?
DAng it actually doesn't look half bad, even for a rip off, i mean hey they did a good job.
Tetris has been redone a 100000 times, but battle tetris gaiden was an awesome game.
And Mario Galaxy is a rip-off of The Little Prince. So what?
Strays a bit from the point, but funny none the less.
Oh China will you ever learn ?
Oh, China! What kind of wacky plagiarism shenanigans will you be up to next? *insert laughtrack here*
Guise, china made it first and Japan ripped it off.
china= lols without original ideas
LOL ??? Even the western or japan games are copies of copies . Nothing original for a long time .
they say Imitation is the highest form of flattery but if you copy from someone it just makes you look you have no original ideas.
Given that China has blatantly no respect for intellectual property law, is there actually anything anyone can DO about this shit?
Ironically, 'Dinosaur Planet' was the development name for the N64 game that would eventually become Starfox Adventures on the Gamecube- although that was more a Zelda knock-off than a Mario one.
China is acting like a noob. They haven't done anything worthwhile so they don't understand how annoying it is when your ripped off.
Hey at least it's a cute little dinosaur~ XD
China is yuck...
this is to get back at the Japanese for invading China back then jajajaja XD
man they have no shame what so ever.
I assume the first video was an early version of the game?
It's obviously using the same gameplay... though obviously much shittier...
I am chinese and this makes me look bad. Still the Dinosaur looks cute!
So being generic equates to plagiarism?
Take a good look at both the vids before you blindly come and post some patriotic comment. Let's don't talk about the lack of ethics, originality and creativity for now. Where the f*** is the shame?! Group of shameless folks from China made a copy of a popular game to make quick bucks. And then when stuff like that gets around to this kind of community another group of shameless patriots come around to defend their country. Don't come and give bullshit like "imitation is the greatest form of flattery" Has that saying been made into a most-used Chinese proverb nowadays by you disgraceful folks? What is wrong is wrong, period.
It looks for me like they totally ripped the engine from teh game... Effects and animations looks the same, only meshes and content differs a bit DX
Good God, I hope they won't at least make a rip-off of 5 Centimetres Per Second, that'd like totally suck.

I can recommend you one guy, he can fix your sarcasm detector for practically nothing.
Japanophile gaijin bashes other Asian countries over copyright issues.
Poetic Justice
Please don't say "other Asian countries" here. Leave the continent I reside in out of this mess please. Asia is not China. Please don't disgrace Asia just because of 1 screwed up country that's in it.
Wow....to go this far..
Even the font? Damn
Just replace the dinosaur with a magical loli, and no one will think it is plagiarism...
Too true!
HEY CHINA STILL COOL! YOU PAY LATER! LATER!!!!!
Doesn't Nintendo have some say over what is published onto their platform?
what should they do?? as if the chinese government will do anything against it
hell, China wants to 'destroy' Japan so much
yet all they do is steal all their best shit and call it something else
first with their hentai, now with our old pal Mario
except your fav, hentai, sis.
It's our fault (US). After nuking Japan, we should had start to nuke China. Now it's to late, at least for China.
A wonderfull imagination: A world free of Jap-Perverts and Chink-Thief's
why stop there? There are lots of other countries whose views differ from your own. While you're at it, you should nuke Europe too, and Africa. And I hear Penguins in Antarctica are taking fish needed by your fishing industry so you should nuke those bastards too!
THE PENGUINS ARE PLOTTING TO KILL US ALL!!!
HOW CAN YOU NOT NUKE THEM?!
just think, who would you least expect, huh? I bet penguins didn't even cross your mind. But yet wear do penguins live other than the most inhospitable place for us humans? And why is that? It's because they don't want us to see what they are building... building... BUILDING since the dawn of time itself.
I have seen their creation and it is not even of this world, it is an infernal device capable of erasing the entirety of existence itself if it's creators so wish.
But I know their true plan... oh I know all too well... I've witnessed it first hand... oh the horror I had seen in those days of unending night I'd spent in Alaska working for the secret service. It cannot be put into words.
I'd be fine with a world free on nuke-humpers like yourself
looks like 2 diffrent games, i see no resemblence
Your sir need some glasses then
No, he is actually right. I see a game INSPIRED by Super Mario Galaxy, I don't see a ripoff of Super Mario Galaxy.
It's like saying that Super Mario Bros was 'ripped off' by Cave Story on the old NES.
China quality.
That's an oxymoron right there...
it's also a double negative
Same difference
The guy playing SMG really sucked.
Someone kill this game now.
kill it with fire
thats your solution for everything!
I don't see any way they can say that that game isn't at least heavily "inspired" by Super Mario Galaxy. It looks pretty much like a skin hack with some things changed around here and there.
It is heavily inspired by Super Mario Galaxy, even I can say that.... HOWEVER, the fact is that only the COMPLETE GAME AND CHARACTERS can by copyrighted.... change a few characters, change the bosses... the law even in the United States says that is now a new game!
lol they even went and used the Overlord background music hah!
Duludubi Star is a nice name for a game though.
....
xD
They have no shame
That's just sad.
...If China puts even half of the effort they put into copying IC towards making something original, they might actualy make something decent. Sadly, all that they do is make extreamly obvious sprite hacks of popular and well known games.
Uh, what is wrong with copying IC? Personally, I see similarities to Mario Galaxy there... but then again, I could see similaries between Super Mario Bros for the NES, Cave Story for the Nes, etc. etc. etc.
When you make something, and it is POPULAR.... you get people making KNOCKOFFS of it... there is nothing wrong with that, as long as the people in question ADMIT that your stuff inspired theirs!
Unfortunately, most of the 'copyright lawyers' live in a dream world where that is not the case, so they write ASININE laws to 'protect copyright' that end up stifling innovation.
Dont count in NES games, those everyone copied, something like "IP" didn't even exist. Nowadays, its something different. It is okay, to copy things to make a new expirience, but you shouldn't copy to simply make the same.
I don't know. If I offered any of you anons decent money for copying work, I'd bet my left nut most of you would take that offer.
Why do you guys use ugly pictures for Mario? Its disrespectful. He is a Legend Dammit.
Oh and Fuck China!
Actually, it is art with a twist. The trick is, that it is drawn like the 2D Gumba and Mario would look if they stayed the same, only with more colours and a higher resolution.
Oh yeah I guess I can see that.
I imagine that's what the artist probably thought mario would look like in real life, but then the newer games came, and his childhood visions where shattered. Resulting in... this.
A twisted rendition wrought from frustration and epic art skillz.
Oh and Fuck Meiling!
Can it be anymore blatant?
Can it be anymore blatant?
If they wanted to, yes it could.
they could give the Dinosaur a mustache
The dinosaur could be Yoshi.
A moustached Yoshi? WTF.
HEY ITS ME, CHINA
CHINA WAS HERE
JAPAN IS A LOSER
No... Anonymous wuz hir....
HEY THERE HONG MEILING LONG TIME NO SEE
gundam incoming?
Anon 06:40 02/12/2009: Japan already have their own army. Its called Self Defense Forces. Under the Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, it limits the amount of activities they can perform, to defensive purposes only.
@other anon replying to the other anon
the talks are about amending said article.
You guys make my head hurt! ( @_@)
This guys really don't have the slightest idea of originality.
HEAVEN OR HELL
LET'S ROCK!!
China needs to be destroyed!
@Anon above
Didn't you know Japan might be alowed to have their own army due to threathening test launches from north korea. And America is broke due to self shitted economy and can't afford to care about it.
"CHINA ALWAYS COOL?"
Jap Land is Americunt's bitch. But Americunt's cannot protect their dog forever.
Many 100 millions of Chinese are just waiting for the war against Jap Land.
In a few decades Jap Land will be part or Greater China or, and this is better, China will make a big holocaust.
China's gaming industry motto should be: "How low can you go?"
No thats to original, more like "they're luvin it".
"If you make it, we copy it!"
"No remorse"
That is actually how it is supposed to work... someone makes something good, someone else emulates the style (sometimes almost exactly), and it sells!
Nintendo, Microsoft, etc. have to realize THAT IS HOW THE FRIGGING INDUSTRY WORKS!
It's been that way since... well, the 1600's. You either put more value in the GENUINE stuff so that people overlook these 'knock-offs' or your company disappears.
Yeaaaahhh no. It works that way with gameplay mechanics, but this is taking it too far.
I can't deny that their copy skill is so high
But they can't produce any new idea which means they still sucks!
"They will copy all the games until 9.9.9(games)"
"What would happen then?"
"Nothing!"
"They just suck"
Unlimited CopyrightInfringement Works yo.
LOL china
How is China doing so well? They steal everything. From jobs to anime....
jerg ger gurrrrr
durb yur burrrr
china can make money and it's brilliant- although highly unethical. instead of paying money to outside companies for overseas products, why not make copies of the ideas and sell those instead to keep all the money and jobs inside china? To add to the strategy, China makes it really tough for outside companies to sell games that they deem are "controversial" thus insuring the market for China based copy artists. I.E WoW and China's WoW knockoff. If you ask me, China knows exactly what its doing- more than people give them credit for.
Rey ruk riz rob!
hey we chinese are the best at what we do thats copying :D u guys hahahahhahahah of ur ideas
Theh Durka Duuuuuur?
...
As a Chinese descendant, I disagree some of you guys' comments.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpiI2FPbNIc
Mind it if you watch.
@anon 8:18 there is nothing brilliant about stealing intellectual property. it's unfortunate china doesn't make anything worth stealing or maybe they would be more concerned with copyrights.
their job, they took. Stupid, all those anons are..
lo. chinese are like parrots only repeating and repeating thanks god chinese demostrate they cant do nothing withoyt external ideas. that make chinese like some sort of living machines to contruct anything but without power of think what to do alones. great material for seudo slavery totally mentally dependents. better than opium
They took yer jaab!
Nothing wrong in copying ideas.
Dey tuk iz jehhhhbbbbb!
touk is yob!
Dey tuk his jaarb!
tuk terr juuurrrr
I'm sure the actual gameplay will be dreadful. Laggy controls, shitty collision detection, etc.
