Flappy Bird wasn’t removed because of threats from Nintendo.. The creator (Dong Nguyen) stated in an interview with Forbes

“Flappy Bird was designed to play in a few minutes when you are relaxed, but it happened to become an addictive product. I think it has become a problem. To solve that problem, it’s best to take down Flappy Bird. It’s gone forever.”

Who does the research on this channel?

[Doggles]

Saying Mario is Italian isn’t a running joke, Mario actually is Italian.

[jimmer]

Guys...
I'm gonna make a remake of a ripoff called...






FLAPPY BIRD...

[MoneyTreeCare]

Also, there's *zero proof* Nintendo is why the flappy bird developer pulled it. The man himself said that he hated the spotlight

[nobgs]

Giana Sisters actually had a happy end. They actually had taken the thing to court and WON, and it actually created a fairly good series, even ironically enough getting a game on the DS!

[evansusmc]

12:10 yes is was discontinued.  But it was at the creator's discretion.  Not Nintendo's.

I'm sorry, are you saying "The people who made Mario 64 HD remake got what they deserved"?
WTF?!
Hell, SOME OF THESE WERE DECENT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

[milo-uscl]

"Ripoffs that got what they deserve" Boyyyy next time make a title that doesnt only apply to like one or two of them on the list

[Thousand]

Me: *Played super jump world two years ago*
TheGamer: *Shows it*
Also me: Memories

[katiepusey]

So Full Screen Mario and the HD Mario 64 were “rip offs that got what they deserved”? Yeah, I don’t think so :l

[steve.z]

I dont think Flappy Bird is really a rip-off of Mario,

[ReeeecesPieces]

"Those are the most obvious and shameless rip-offs"
Flappy bird wasn't a rip-off

[XantMann]

Dude, The Great Giana Sisters became an awesome franchise on its own...

[juancorrales]

"That got what they deserved?" But some of them weren't making profits

[dariugui]

Great, they copied my name too, fckn ripoffs

[SleepyCappy]

Flappy bird isn't a rip off of mario

[jacksonprewedo]

i remember playing Lep's World and Mole Kart on my mom's ipad, it feels so nostalgic

[KelpShake]

It sorta annoyed me when he kept referring to Super Mario Bros. as Super Mario World 😐

[Ninetails]

"Great Gina Sister" I'm gonna have to stop you right there...

[Shagg_yGaming]
