Always Right
Either it's one big crazy coincidence, or Capcom is really running out of ideas....
I like it's tail though...

Well, they ripped off Dynasty Warriors (or rather Samurai Warriors) before...

Oh. Wow.
You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

Hm, I see bits of Sonic in there as well...
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.
crazy and proud of it
Near as I can tell, the Clover Studios people are the only creative talent left from what used to be Capcom.
I read the topic title and was like "Probably just some fan exaggerating things..." but then i saw the video and... Yeah...
Let's send some hate-mail their way!

Okay Guy
I'm not all too fond of those who rag on games for just copying others instead of looking at its own merits but that was awfully shameless.
I'm sure it will be fine but I don't really care.
Put me in motion, drink the potion, use the lotion, drain the ocean, cause commotion, fake devotion, entertain a notion, be Nova Scotian
Wow, I was expecting this to be blowing things out of proportion. But, no, that's a pretty shameless steal. The question is whether Splosion Man's devs are willing to sue
Vampire Hunter
Splosion Man Devs don't have the money to sue.
Looking at the two games, I'm not seeing Capcom's game as that much of a ripoff compared to Splosion Man, at least compared to Platform Games in similar subgenres, like the Metroidvania or the Mascot with Attitude Platformer.
This is pretty evident in the existence of Explodemon during the same time period as Splosion Man that "Platformer Where Your Character Explodes" was going to be a subgenre.

Meh.
This is nothing new.
Developers have been copying other games and releasing them for iOS devices ever since they were released. And as long as they aren't plagiarizing or directly competing with the original product, why care?
OP: No. As long as Capcom didn't directly copy or recreate Splosion Man's assets, there is nothing they can do about it.

Actually they ripped Megaman off with Zelda, they only changed the scenario, the story, the gameplay and the graphics so that nobody would notice it.
Of course! It makes so much sense now!
The Final ECW Champion
At first glance I thought Splosion man was just a game based around a power from Kirby 64, are we really going to sell Capcom short?
Oh who am I kidding? Tts in the name, they didn't even try to cover it up.
Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack
Wow.
Just...wow.
I wonder if Twisted Pixel can sue Capcom for plagarism.
