Mario Gets a Portal Gun In New Indie Game

Posted by Soulskill on from the princess-is-a-lie dept.

jjp9999 sends word of a game in development that mashes up Super Mario Bros. and Portal. Dubbed Mari0 by its developer, the game is being built on the Löve framework and will be released for free. The original Super Mario Bros. levels will be included, as well as some puzzle-style maps and a level editor. They also plan to include simultaneous multiplayer.

  1. How do they plan to avoid the wrath of Nintendo? by intellitech · · Score: 3, Informative

    I wonder what Nintendo has to say about all this. If I remember correctly, they tend to protect their trademarks and other intellectual property.

    Absolutely correct. People have the misconception that making something free somehow absolves you of all copyright liability. Free may be less bad in the eyes of the copyright owner, but they still have every right to send a cease and desist.

    I mean, if I was making my own games and somebdoy decided to take my work without permission and distribute it for free, I certainly wouldn't be happy about it.
