Er Super Mario Maker baseret på et pirat projekt?

Er Super Mario Maker baseret på et pirat projekt? Dette mener skaberen af "Fullscreen Super Mario" i hvert tilfælde.

Hvad er så Fullscreen Super Mario?
Jo det er hele det klassiske Super Mario Bros-spil, kodet så man kunne spille det fra start til slut i sin browser. Nintendo lukkede projektet sidste efterår efter at de havde fået kendskab til dets succes. Spillet havde både en levelskaber, som kreerede tilfældige baner og en bane redigeringsprogram ala det Nintendo selv har introduceret i Super Mario Maker.

Nu udtaler skabere af projektet, Josh Goldberg, i The Washington Post, at han mener at hans projekt var det der inspirerede Nintendo til at lave Super Mario Maker.

"I think it's too much of a coincidence that in the fall they take down a fan site that was too popular for them, then in the spring and summer they release a trailer for this product," he told The Washington Post in an interview. Goldberg said Nintendo never contacted him directly about the "Full Screen Mario site," but upon seeing "Mario Maker" he thought it was "very much an expansion" upon his level editor idea.

"It has the same user interface I had in development, just way better, and it's something I wish I could have made," he said. But while he's a bit disappointed Nintendo never got in touch, he's very excited to see the company doing more with its beloved series.

Om Nintendo har ladet sig inspirere af Fullscreen Super Mario, er ikke godt at vide, men alt er muligt. Vi får dog nok næppe et svar fra Nintendo.
