New eShop Release Final Sword Includes Zelda's Lullaby As Background Music - Nintendo Life
Jul 05, 2020 3 mins, 46 secs

Earlier this week, a company called HUP Games published Final Sword on the Switch eShop.

If you've never heard of this game before, it's described as the "original action RPG" for Nintendo Switch and allows players to enjoy "powerful battles" in an open-world setting for $17.70.

In reality, it's a mobile port and the title uses generic game engine assets.

To top it off, it also features music from the Nintendo game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

GoNintendo notes how the "stolen music" playing in the background "straight-up rips off" Zelda's Lullaby.

We're not sure how this one slipped by Nintendo, but if we were to take a guess, it's probably because stacks of games are getting approved for the Switch eShop on a weekly basis.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.

His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat?

Looks like an asset flip game.

Nintendo moves fast addressing pirated sites for Nintendo games, now lets see how they handle this.

not a good look for this game.

I guess Nintendo needs to bring back their iron fisted approval process again.

This doesn't seem to be a version ripped from any official Zelda game, so either they recreated it from scratch or stole it from a fan made remix?

Similarly, I've heard music from The Sims being used in commercials and the like over the years.

I can't blame them; the first game and its expansions had amazing music.

I assume that The Sims also contained stock sound effects, because funnily enough, Riverdale used the same door sound effects as The Sims 1, which is especially jarring because the sound is not consistent with the doors that they use on the show (which wouldn't produce such a "mechanical" sort of sound).

I used to write less cringe-inducing crap in my high school years.

This game should be deleted, looks awefull.

I used to work freelance as a sound designer.

I made music, voice acting and fx for flash games and later mobile games and apps.

To keep it simple, I did all my work on the basis that the developer owned the rights to any original content however I did sometimes use free effects?

You’ll find that a good deal of graphics and visual fx used in games are not created by the developers team either.

You’d also be surprised what you can get away with, especially if you perform the music and fx yourself!

Seems like the developers have a different mindset compared to the legal team and the music or art design team.

"It's an old game, no one plays it anymore?".

Whelp, I was originally not going to buy the game because it looked like absolute garbage, but now that I know that it has Nintendo owned copyright music in it, I HAVE to get it now simply for the novelty and proof that Nintendo has not quality control.

One song in an ugly looking mobile ported game not worth anyone’s time, or an entire game based on their IP.

If I was Nintendo I'd get Jackie Chiles on the case as it's It’s an infringement on their IP.

Riverdale uses a sample also used in Sims

Regardless of how many games Nintendo approves per week, something like this would require level 80 in audacity...or level 0 in self-awareness

Almost makes you wonder about the odds of someone picking an undertagged mp3 file off the internet and having no idea it's from Zelda (yes, there are people who haven't played Ocarina of Time, I'm one of them), but even that would sound pretty crazy this deep into the 21st century

this is why im glad it has physical releases as the switch e shop is a disaster

about time N got off their backsides and sorted it asset flips games with stolen content broken games etc etc

It's also in ALttP, which is a little older

Garbage like this shouldn’t be on any kind of game shop
