New Domestic Game Suspected of 'Paying Tribute' to Splatoon, Netizens: Nintendo's Legal Team Approaching

Recently, a mysterious new domestic mobile game has sparked widespread discussion for its core gameplay, which bears a striking resemblance to Nintendo's iconic IP, Splatoon.

Reports point out that Nintendo holds patents covering the unique mechanics of Splatoon. Many players are jokingly 'anticipating' the involvement of Nintendo’s legendary legal team, often referred to by Chinese fans as the 'strongest legal team in the Eastern Hemisphere,' as they prepare for a 'hunting season' against potential copyright infringement.

Beyond the game itself, the comment sections have become a hotbed for criticizing toxic community behavior. Many users pointed out the recurring trend of 'Kaiyuan Shengshi'—a derogatory term for the habit of dragging Genshin Impact into every unrelated discussion. Observers expressed disdain for this behavior, with some sarcastically remarking that the toxic Weibo atmosphere makes it impossible for some to discuss anything without 'dragging an unrelated game into it,' while others joked that if the game makes any profit, it will eventually all go to Nintendo as legal compensation.
