I don't know where does this thread goes to. It does look like a tradition to put anything non-Nintendo here, but when it's not even on a Nintendo system, then from the viewpoint of NinDB is it 3rd party at all? Anyway... Audio commentary which basically tells you what this is TAS Ending of a ported version, not by original version's author ...What do you think? Actually, looking at this thing, it sounds like NOA is being too aggresive ( as always). In most cases, copycats can't easily defeat Nintendo because of the usually lower product qualities, anyway. |

First of all, yes, this would be the correct forum for this topic. In the context of NinDB, if it's not first- or second-party, then it must be third-party. Second, Nintendo apparently doesn't care about whether The Great Giana Sisters infringes its copyright anymore because there was a remake officially released for the DS in Europe. |

I'd imagine this would seem much more rip off-ey when it came out than now, since the gameplay of Super Mario Bros. has more or less been codified as the Platformer genre.

It's more than just a platformer though. Pretty much everything in it, title included is basically a copyright-safe knockoff of Mario.  |

I have that DS remake. Giana is so cute, awrgh. And the game is so simple, yet beatiful. If I just don't say anything about how e-a-s-y it is... (-iwl-) I've gotten to talk with the artist in DA, Pikomi and even with the music composer, Rapturemusic. For me he didn't say much how the game was reborn,, since it was a pretty small company doing the game. (-lwl-) I still asked how music was able to sound retro, and Rapturemusic said it was by the use of a music tracker (like in Amiga games) and to emulate the arpeggio bleeps (which sound like the C64 chip). I was pretty amazed. I'd wanna see Giana facing Mario someday. That would be hilarious. |

Y'know from what I've seen this game looks like a pretty fun platformer and now I'm sad I didn't buy it when I saw it lying around for 20something bucks. Can't find it anywhere now
