Remember that neat little DS look alike app that appeared on the App Store not too long ago? Well it got pulled, and fairly quickly, and it turns out Nintendo is to blame.
The news came in the form of an email to CNet columnist Don Reisinger. According to Charlie Scibetta, a spokesman for Nintendo, the company felt it needed to protect its IP rights. “Nintendo respects the intellectual property rights of other companies, and in turn expects others to respect ours as well. Nintendo did seek the removal of this application as we vigorously protect against infringement of our intellectual property rights.”
Nintendo did more than just pull the app. They’ve also pulled a video from YouTube that displayed the app being used. Apparently they didn’t want anyone else getting any smart ideas.
