Nintendo demands a Battle Royale for using Mario

1-UP Platform is a Battle Royale style game, where users can bet for NFT, a controversial method of ownership of digital files that use Blockchain technology. This project has already attracted negative attention for its premise. However, it is now Nintendo who joins this controversy, since Great N has begun a legal process against those responsible for this title, this due to the use of images of Super Mario Bros.

In the middle of last month, a series of tests were held for this title, where clearly you can see the use of several visual elements inspired by Super Mario Bros. Together with this, the official site of 1-up Platform also has Several assets of this series. As expected, It seems that Nintendo has already taken letters in the matter, since several videos related to this project have been eliminated from the Internet. Similarly, those responsible for this Battle Royale have shared the following message about it:

I am an administrator of the community of an anonymous team that works at a great independent concept. The goal was to innovate over an incredible idea that Infernoplus had launched in 2019. Nintendo had closed them to innovate and it is known that they do it. We have just created a reinforced version with a combat system. The goal was to innovate privately within the community to show what is possible if we all contribute with new ideas. We simply feel that corporate ideas are drying and almost die.

For all Nintendo Simps that have a panic attack, do not fear. They were private trial videos that were published to increase the size of the community. When we enter live, all the game will have personalized art without any of Nintendo s original sprites. This was just a concept test. The engine is made to measure and will be used for other original games. However, the rumor is great. At least makes people talk about new ideas.

In September of this year, a statement pointed to the Visual style super Mario Bros. as one of his most striking points, which seems to indicate that they did not really intend to eliminate this visual section. At the moment it has not revealed that it will happen with 1-up platform, but it is likely that this proposal will continue alive, although with a new face.

Editor s note:

The idea of ​​a Battle Royale where people can bet to get NFT sounds like a proposal that is at all being canceled, either by the legal problems that this may involve, or by public opinion. Nintendo was only the beginning, we can only wait and see if 1-up Platform do not receive more demands in the future.
