Something was amok when a female Yoshi look-alike blasted onto Android devices for a game called Era€™s Adventures. In fact, the game€™s protagonist looked exactly the same as 3D Yoshi, though a little rough around the edges, in parts. The game sparked some controversy over at Nintendo€™s headquarters in Kyoto and was immediately flagged for copyright infringement. However, since the big N is so gracious, they gave the mobile game developer Botond Kopacz some leeway, and decided €“ after careful consideration €“ to give the female dinosaur a makeover. Era€™s Adventures for Android now stars a blue-coloured dinosaur with some funky orange boots, diamond shaped pupils and a red cap. Both the developer and Nintendo are still working through the process to give Era the best start to her adventures.
