Christopher Orlando Torres, creator of the “Nyan Cat” Internet meme, issued a statement to Eurogamer in response to the lawsuit taking place against Warner Bros. and 5th Cell.

News circulated earlier today that Torres and Charles Schmidt – the man behind “Keyboard Cat” – filed for copyright and trademark infringement against both companies.

BearShark became available on the 3DS eShop today. It’s an endless runner based on the popular Nintendo Video animated series.

“We will definitely be launching more games based on characters and content that we created. We want to create properties and then exploit it. Over time, we’ll continue to build those out as cross-over entities.”

Maybe we’ll be seeing a Dinosaur Office-based 3DS eShop game one day?
