60 Mario and Friends: Old Games are Back - Garbage

This is not a review, just an angry observation.  The 2nd best selling app in App Store is currently 60 Mario and Friends: Old Games are Back.  Even though it has 617 ratings with a 2 star average, it has remained the 2nd best selling app for 2 straight days at $.99 a pop.  If you aren't aware of what this "game" is then let me tell you.  It provides 60 sounds of old games (Marion, Donkey Kong, etc)  There is no gameplay at all.  You just play sounds of old Nintendo games.  The developer, Isayonline Services, has delivered a bogus game that utilizies Nintendo's golden characters to make itself money.



Three groups should be ashamed of this game being in the top of the App Store; the consumers, the developer and Apple.  If the consumer would actually read the description of the app they would know better.  Hell, if they even looked at other user's reviews they would know better.  The developer obviously has no rights to the source material whatsoever and in a quick money grab are trying to bring in whatever cash they can before Nintendo sues them and makes them take their app down.  Finally, Apple is just approving all kinds of crap lately.  I love how they approve an app that obviously steals copyrighted material by Nintendo yet they won't add Google Voice.  This just goes to show you that the manta, buyer beware, should be all the more prevalent in this digital age of App Store junk software.
