In 1980, the fairly new Nintendo of America was looking for a hit to establish itself as a player in the growing arcade market. After successful location tests using prototypes, NoA CEO Minoru Arakawa ordered a very large number of units of Radar Scope, an arcade game. However, by the time the arcade machines could be produced and shipped to the U.S., interest had vaporized, causing Radar Scope to be a huge flop. To stay afloat and clear the costly inventory of Radar Scope, Nintendo of America desperately needed a smash-hit game that the unsold machines could be converted to play. Yamauchi assigned Miyamoto, the only person available, the task of creating the game that would make or break the company.
After Miyamoto had consulted with some of the company's engineers although he had no prior programming experience, and composed the music himself on a small electronic keyboard, Donkey Kong was fully conceptualized. When the game was complete, the chips containing the new program were rushed to the U.S. and Nintendo employees worked around the clock to convert the "Radar Scope" machines. It was fortuitous that Nintendo had so many units on hand, because Donkey Kong was an overnight success, and not only saved the company, but introduced the character who more than any other would be identified with Nintendo.
The three most famous characters Miyamoto created for the game were Donkey Kong, Jump Man, and Pauline . It was Mario, a character who descends from Jump Man, that has found the most success, and since his debut in Donkey Kong he has appeared in more than 100 games spanning over a dozen gaming platforms.

3: Why would you even post this?
4: "Blend in"???; with what?

He could have written this for Wikipedia and is now simply sharing his work with this proud Nintendo community.
Even worse, since anyone can edit Wikipedia, Smash Brother could have added it to frame him!!!!!
This is not conclusive evidence.

According to the Wikipedia history for the Shigeru Miyamoto page, the plagiarized material in question has not been edited after the posting time of my post revealing the shill for its true nature.
I could not have edited the source material without Wikipedia recording my actions.
Post by: Shecky on May 24, 2007, 06:23:03 PM
OBJECTION!
That still does not discount that the user ARO is the original author of that content!! Wikipedia is not the owner of that content! In addition:
"remember that anyone can post this information on Wikipedia"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Risk_disclaimer
The person who added that content is none other than my client, ARO.

I'll have you refer to this thread, where your client said, and I quote (grammar errors have been bolded):
The "Final Fantasy" series have been split through the middle with Nintendo and Sony...
...Square Soft (current Square Enix) created the series, and Sony is more up-to-date; however, Nintendo helped Square Soft develope, fund, and sell/suply the beginning of the series.
Who should own copyright to the name?
Do you expect this court to believe that your client wrote the clear and concise paragraphs on Miyamoto in the first post while your client is also so ignorant to the current affairs of the gaming industry (and proper grammar and spelling) that he believes Sony and Nintendo are vying to own the copyrights to the Final Fantasy series? Not to mention the fact that he posted the thread about Shigeru Miyamoto on a board which has absolutely no relation to Miyamoto-san.
Lastly, can you PROVE that the defendant is the original author of this material?

Allow me to outline what really happened. ARO started a discussion with some draft text on Wikipedia's site. Through contribution of other members it was corrected over some time to it's present state. This community effort is a major part of Wikipedia. Exhibit B
Well then ARO needs to accredit the contributors right?
TAKE THAT!
Well according to my earlier evidence, Exhibit A, community efforts become absorbed as part of the GNU Free Document License, which allows VERBATIM COPYING he just forgot to link the GFDL
The prosecution would like you to believe that my client performed plagiarism, since he could never have written such clear text. However, I have just shown how they could have accomplished just that. We still do not have proof of an original source that is not my clients, on which to base these claims of plagiarism.
I can't believe I just came up with that crap... should I have been a lawyer?? I know my client is guilty, but I must keep stalling, otherwise Khushrenada dies!
Smash... your paddling up the wrong creek!

Hmph. Once again, you've lost sight of the purpose of this case.
The question is not whether or not the defendant is guilty of plagiarism. The QUESTION, is whether or not he is a SHILL!
And Detective S-U-P-E-R Loosescrew has only one piece of testimony to give on the subject:

I just checked his profile and saw that he's Union Pentagon, ahahahahahah
The prosecution rests.

Good point...
Credit does go to Wikipedia on 3/4 of that statement.
Also, I am a perfectionist; even if I did write that entire statement, it would still be neat!
Post by: Smash_Brother on May 25, 2007, 07:32:09 AM
Now, how do you respond to the other allegations, Mr. Union Pentagon?

Shhhhh!!, you shouldn't join in on your own defense, let your lawyer do his work. You could just end up saying something that will ultimately help the prosecution and the evidence is already stacked up against you as it it.

Am I in the jury? if so, I don't exactly understand who we're accusing of what. If anything, I'd have to say that Khushrenada is guilty of at least Man2.
...Or something.
Also, ARO, download Firefox. It has built in spell-checker. Then perhaps you'll look smart enough to have committed crimes. Right now, you're just Khushrenada's stooge.

Seeing as I only know the answer to this I will, well, answer it:
You see, I am writing a book called "Final Fantasy - Diayamondo no Densetsu", and I needed to know which company helped Square Soft get back on there feet with the "Final Fantasy" series.
Ignore the post above this one......
