Surely some of you remember Duludubi Star. For those of you who may have forgotten, it’s a PC title that garnered a great deal of attention for its resemblance to Super Mario Galaxy.

There’s another Chinese-made gaming ripoff in development, and I have a feeling that it will soon be as notorious as Duludubi Star.

This “new” game – unfortunately I don’t have title to give you folks – is for the App Store. It mimics just about everything from Mario Kart Wii: tracks, power-ups, and objects including item boxes. Heck, even the graphics are comparable.

This is by far the craziest Nintendo-related ripoff I’ve seen since Duludubi Star. I’d say that it’s even worse than Super Jump Bros!

You can find a few screenshots of the App Store game above. If that’s not enough to convince you that it’s a very blatant ripoff, perhaps this trailer will convince you.

There are 274 pages in Hyrule Historia. 60 of those pages feature some amazing concept art of for Zelda: Skyward Sword. Nintendo has provided designs for important characters in the game (including Link, Zelda, and Ghirahim), NPCs, enemies and bosses, locations, and more. There even appears to be some unused designs for Fi.

If you haven’t completed the game yet, then it might be best for you to avoid the gallery above for now. However, you’ll probably want to take a look at it at some point because it contains some art that you won’t want to miss.

Check back soon for more high-quality scans from Hyrule Historia.

Thanks to Noble Wrot for the tip!
