Nintendo ripoffs are common place on mobile marketplaces, but as of late, it seems as though a flood of such games have hit the Windows Store. Mario Jump!, Bowser Town Defense, Pokemon Attack!, and Yoshijump have all been spotted, none of which should be permitted due to their violation of the rules.

In the past, Microsoft has expressed a desire to crack down on software involving copyrighted material. Still, the burden has always been placed on the trademark holder.

A statement provided to Pocket Gamer indicates that all companies who feel that their copyrights or trademarks have been infringed upon – including Nintendo – should simply report the content in question.

“With regards to trademark infringement, with every app there is an option to report the app for violating the Windows Store’s Terms of Use. If a company feels a Windows Store app is infringing on their copyrights or trademarks, they should report the app and we will take immediate action to determine if the app should be removed from the Windows Store.”
