Nintendo has Super Mario creation pulled from PS4’s Dreams

A popular Super Mario creation inside PS4’s Dreams has been removed following a copyright complaint from Nintendo.

Creator PieceofCraft took to Twitter with the news over the weekend.

“Good news and bad news,” the creator began. “We flew too close to the sun boys! A big video game company who i will keep nameless obviously didn’t read my ‘be cool’ note in [Dreams]. No worries though have a back up plan. But for now Mario projects in dreams are on hold until i put said plan into effect.”

The creator later confirmed that, “The email came through to the same email I have linked to my PSN but it was from the legal and business affairs Division of Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe, so not from Mm. [It] stated Nintendo, themselves, had objected to my use of their Super Mario IP in Dreams.”

We brought up the issue of copyright in our review of Dreams. The title is currently available on PS4.
