Nintendo’s loveable green dinosaur Yoshi has popped up in an Android title called Era’s Adventures. The game’s description says you’re required to help Era to escape from trapped worlds. Find the hidden chests which contain the secret keys required for unlocking the levels and enjoy the exciting adventures. The game has received reasonable reviews from the users and you can download it here. You can also watch the video right here.
Thanks Nicki
Crappy Android game with clunky controls. So, don’t buy the game, simple as that
A”n” dev…
I hope they get in some legal trouble.
i hope so,,
my dick is about to about on there face
This has to be a hoax game. Spelling errors in the GUI, the controls look abysmal and, oh yeah, it’s using Yoshi! I can only assume the reviews on its Google Play page are fake too.
The trial version has more accurate reviews by the look of it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andev.ErasAdventures.Trial&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLmFuZGV2LkVyYXNBZHZlbnR1cmVzLlRyaWFsIl0.
It’s not a hoax, just some idiot using a copyrighted character in an awful game because they can’t make their own protagonist.
I’m pretty sure the reviews are faked though
Just like the knock-off Zelda game on iPhone. Man that game was terrible…
HAHAHAHAHA. That is so tacky! It reminds me of the cheap Chinese knock off Pokemon toys. There’s just no pretence of it not being a rip off. Shameless.
A quick buck from gullible consumers and phone gamers (more like phoney gamers) who throw pennies in the well everyday wishing Ninty games would come to their phones :P Despicable!
It looks like yoshi.. but if the disigner changed the model slightly, it can be a little dinosaur look like yoshi… not yoshi… her name is Era now.
era who? LOL you can’t be serious, this is bullshit, this is a big copy and you know it.
Sue’em Nintendo! We’re tired of other companys stealing your ideas!
That’s not theft it’s flat out robbery if I ever seen it.
That’s not what robbery means.
To be honest, I have no problem with this I think, I think it’s like snoopy, where on some commercials, you see him random.. Honestly they probably thought Yoshi was cute, and wanted to use him in there. I say it’s a loving culture thing. And ideas are not property btw.
Unless they are using him in a “original claim” way, then I guess shame.
Is this a common theme for app game developers? Do they create a game, and then use the mascot from another popular game franchise just to get publicity? Only to change it when they start seeing legal troubles? This seems to happen way too often.
People need to grow a brain and use it to come up with their own ideas.. -__-
Oh wait, I just watched the video, yeah I think they are using it that one way that might be “shame”. lol I thought it was a random picture thing.
LOL That’s how android market will take over the handheld marketing, making original tittles with deep gameplay experience :D
Oh fuck, here come the ninjas
They’ve been and gone. A real Ninja is never detected in his comings or goings.
This is happening a little too frequently; I think some legal loophole is somehow allowing this. Nintendo either doesn’t mind or there’s nothing they can do about it…(???)
It is sort of interesting how when these iOS games are copying other Videogame franchises they always seem to be one’s Nintendo created. Hmmmm? Wonder why(sarcasm).
Obliterate these imbecils or I will!
That’s just wrong. I hope Nintendo does something about that.
What the honorable fuck is this?
They
will be bumbarded by the cocks of 10 yoshis Nintendo is unstoppable.
Not even Gods are safe from us!
I think Pit proved this…;)
Sue their backsides Nintendo!
Sued.
I would guess that they’re able to get away with it because the game is free, so they’re not making a profit off of Yoshi’s image. But come on, if you’re going to rip off a character at least do it right, Yoshi’s all about eating things and throwing eggs, not breathing fire… This game looks like it’s stuck directly between being an original idea and a fan game, but it’s not close enough to either.
Nope, the game is $1.99…
Still better than paper mario:sticker star
This is shameless. It just makes it look even cheaper that they put Yoshi in there…
And what’s this going to do, make Nintendo. Games arrive sooner?
Well bloody hell it’s no wonder Nintendo are loosing money when trash like this keeps popping up every week on android/ios ” hey guys let’s take the beloved Yoshi and put him in a shitty run and gun platformer and give it pretty music, graphics and everyone will treat it like the greatest game ever” seriously I wish these android game makers copyright breakers would just go and crawl under a rock.

Oh no! Yoshi’s going turbo!
Nintendo will have a fun time in court suing them.
Hey everyone!!! Smatphone games will TOTALLY KILL consoles! Nintendo are yesterday’s news!
…I mean, granted 99% of them are cheap, clunky & horrible – with a penchant for ripping-off Nintendo’s characters and gameplay designs…
…But still! Woo! Apple and Android games are TOTALLY AWESOME!!1!11
Why, your gonna pay for this.

Anyone speak Japanese? Nintendo needs to know about this kjlojsodjflkanvlehjlajlfjworuwoefu79887r582uroijrlkwejlkjdlkfjsdfnslfnslkn. That is what I am calling it. kjlojsodjflkanvlehjlajlfjworuwoefu79887r582uroijrlkwejlkjdlkfjsdfnslfnslkn.
