A bunch of court documents from the Universal v. Nintendo lawsuit just got released by The Gaming Historian. Donkey Kong was originally going to be a man in a gorilla suit.https://archive.org/details/universal-v-nintendo-court-documentshttps://web.archive.org/web/20260404002426/https://www.gamesradar.com/games/donkey-kong/massive-nintendo-court-document-reveal-shows-shigeru-miyamoto-saw-donkey-kong-as-a-man-in-a-gorilla-suit-and-wanted-his-original-arcade-game-to-be-called-build-on/
>>12487154Universal forgot that the King Kong movie's copyright expired in 1961 when they forgot to renew it after 28 years.
>>12487154>close to a human being as compared to the usual gorilla>And I tried to make it as a human being wearing stuffed dolllmao>proceeds to list 14 potential names for the game, 10 containing kong in the name>no we weren't ripping off the movie!>also tried to rip off the contractor that made donkey kong's arcade hardware and softwaremy sides. classic miyamoto.
>>12487591Based Miyahon, dabbing on retards
>your honor, this depiction of an ape named Kong, who is also kidnapping a damsel in distress, in fact, bears no relation to King Konghow did he pull this off
>>12487601universal lost because their suit was absurd, and they themselves had argued years earlier that king kong was public domain
>>12487612>universal lost because their suit was absurdwasn't that absurd. it was tied up in decades of legal wrangling between the original creator, universal and others over who owns the rights to king kong. universal lost because they claimed they owned certain properties when they didn't. nintendo got lucky.
Copyright laws can be so fucking retarded sometimes, I'm ironically on Nintendo's side
>>12487809/threadToo bad they have become the badguys now with the palworld bullshit
>>12487636>the lawsuit wasn't absurd, they were just arguing their ownership over things they didn't own
>>12487835>makes up schizo fantasy about what happened>public domain and shieet!>gets man handled by anons that know their shit>mental breakdown timewhen is the livestream suicide planned for?
>>12487819The whole lawsuit they are on now is fucking retarded when they actually had people on their side before they took any actions and you could have literally grabbed people off the street and compared how visually similar characters from both games were to the point you may have assumed they were from the same game, but no, they go after the one mechanic that was guaranteed to kill any support they had and they didn't even come up with to begin with.
>make attention whoring goodbye vid shilling your gay podcast no one cares about instead of just riding off into the sunsetI have jewtuber fatigue
>>12488160>instead of just riding off into the sunsetHe didn't post a video for like two years after telling people he was making another video, so it's better than just letting it rot with no closure(no I never fucking check any youtuber's twitter)
>>12487915You should tell us more about the Apple II in Japan.
>>12489698aren't you the convicted child molester that said all nes games made in japan were written on an apple 2 using the inbuilt mini assembler? and when anons asked for you proof you came up with nothing and then spammed the board for weeks until you were banned? and then a few weeks later claimed that no cpu that's 1000ghz could beat an fpga and everyone took turns to shit on you? great times. everybody here knows who you are and you are a massive loser. i'm glad i read those threads just so i can keep track of vr's biggest loser and lolcow:https://desuarchive.org/vr/thread/12429708/#q12440067
