Oh, that Nintendo — they think they’re soooo creative. What with their creation of the megapopular Wii and DS. And the fact that they’re responsible for the ’80s console boom. So yeah, we get it, Nintendo — you have some pretty innovative ideas. Sometimes. But apparently not when it comes to coming up with original music for sickness-inspired puzzle games.

Caught you, Nintendo! The jig is up. Tisk tisk — did you really think you could steal from some rock legends? Hell, you’re better off stealing from this guy.
So what do y’all think? Did Nintendo really rip off the tune or did someone on YouTube make a big deal out of nothing? Either way, we love the drama!
