Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa has told the Wall Street Journal that the company didn’t make any complaints about the smash hit mobile game, Flappy Bird. A number of publications pointed out the similarity in art assets between the popular title and Nintendo’s Mario series, but Nintendo says it wasn’t too concerned. The creator of Flappy Bird has pulled the game from the App Store as he wasn’t happy with the attention the game had brought him.
“While we usually do not comment on the rumors and speculations, we have already denied the speculation” last week, he said.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHRRRRIBBBAAA. MARIO COPIED THIS GAME. FUCKIN INNOVATION. YEAH RIGHT!
you sr please leave the internet now
here take a ticket
[__]
you just went full retard… never go full retard. I don’t even believe you are trolling so even if you say you’re trolling I won’t believe you because I seen your type of stupidity everyday… so good work on being labeled one of the dumbest people in history
Your brain is either missing or drunk. Go find it.
Go to your bathtub, fill it with water, and drown yourself.
MARIO SUCKS AHAHAHAHAHA!!!
*just stares at with amazement* Yes. The character that is bigger & more recognized than Mickey Mouse totally sucks. Kids…
Unless you mean he sucks in your own personal opinion. In which case, my bad.
LMAO DRONES MADDD!!!
This game is haard, and addicting!! My high score is 26 :)
Lol my score is 101 yes it is addicting and frustrating but I love it. Not too happy about them pulling it bought a new IPad mini and now I can’t even play it on my IPad mini. Hopefully when I sync it it’ll load on it but some how I don’t think so :-(
Good Guy Nintendo
Iconic franchise gets ripped off, doesn’t sue the thief.
they never do. even when there’s obvious copies being made in the app store.
Yeah and when u warp down the 50th pipe in Flappy Bird ur taken to the negitive world… swear to Gawd.
I only play it when im taking a shit. My high score is 3
Lol
looooool
Are you serious? No one steals my name.
Why so serious.. :)
Whoa, that score is insane. Congrats, man! :D Haha
Lol I do same. My high score is 39.
App developer is an idiot. He doesnt HAVE to give any interviews or respond to questions/attention. Dude was making 50k/ A DAY off ads. Why the hell would ANYONE pull the #1 app in the world that was producing that kind of income???!!! Damn shame, i wouldve just had the money put into a savings account and disappeared for a few months until the hype died down and been a multi millionaire.
I totally agree with you but I think their biggest bitch was the fact that the adverts interfered with the game play, that is my main bitch because everytime an advert popped up the game had a slight glitch then the bird would crash, that’s the only thing I did not like about the game but all they had to do was add and advert removal option and the issues would’ve been resolved
Just play offline, woks for me.
On my Flappy Bird ads only appear outside of gameplay i.e. on the title screen and after you’ve died.
He removed it because it was corrupting our world too fast.
Nice!
The world was already long fucked before this crap existed.
Mario is the only one and only one forever…
there is already a game like flappy bird,is just not as hyped as this crap
MEH. they should have sued him for 80% of what the creator wons. I mean.HE GOT LIKE 500 000 BY NOW!
Has nobody noticed that floppy bird stole more than their style of pipes? The whole concept is just like balloon fight for the NES.
which is basically a copy of joust.
Has nobody noticed that he stole more than the Mario pipes? The whole game is a rip off of Balloon Fight for the NES.
Really… on what level… tap tap tap… thats nothing like balloon fight. Ni moving enemies dufus.
Balloon fight is a lot more fun to play
I’ll agree with you there. Every time a new casual mobile game takes off, I just drop my jaw at what’s popular these days…to me, this was quite possibly a new level of low.
And another guy will still the idea for make a Fappy Bird version…go be free
**I mean steal… *keyboard retarded*
Sorry
i scored 69 xD
280.
Too bad the guy is shy, I know people who are obsessed with his game. I tried it out and it is challenging and I could see why people would get obsessed over it.
Oh well, I’m sure the rip-offs are coming or are already here lol!
But making 50K a day off it? Seems unbelievable that he’d just delete it because of the attention.
my high score is zero because i dont have a smartphone and i play real games and some android apps that are games, i know you saying how the hell do i play android games if i dont own a smartphone, its simple, i borrow a friends phone and play games he/she and i are onto like valkyrie crusade (card game) and rpg games made by kemco. i dont get why people whine about games like super mario 3d world not coming to ios and android when a simple answer is mario belongs to nintendo and can only be played on hardware made by nintendo, if you dont like it then you must have been mentally molested by a ginger cow calling you the biggest retard that is more retard than an actual retard.
you know what games i want on wii u and 3ds? guacamelee, spelunky, and rouge legacy. why? well its all thanks to jwittz who has like 3 channels and one is called wittzgaming and makes me wanna play them.
. . . k
Just backup the apk then who cares if they remove it.
