We’ll say it so you don’t have to bother typing it in the comments: Nintendo’s doing more to promote Gravity Rush than Sony. That was funny, wasn’t it? In truth, this trailer isn’t actually made by Nintendo, but a small company who’s taken its Switch exclusive painting app Colors Live to Kickstarter. Spotted by a sharp-eyed fan and reported on by Gravity Rush Central, the above trailer includes fan art of side-kick Raven about 20 seconds in.
It’s a strange thing to see, considering that the game’s maker is unlikely to have obtained a license from the PlayStation maker to include this image. We doubt the manufacturer's legal team will be too fussed, though – it’s more fan art than anything, designed to showcase the app’s potential.
Incredibly, there was actually a version of Colors which launched on the PS Vita almost a decade ago, although this new version’s addition of a pressure-sensitive pen seems capable of delivering much better sketches. We’d recommend backing the Kickstarter, so you can draw pictures of Kutaro from Puppeteer and make gags on social media about how you’re doing more than PlayStation to promote the cult platformer.

Sammy Barker showing us his Nintendo “love” again in his articles. 😁
Too bad Nintendo isn’t keen on their property appearing in fan works like Dreams...even if they’re trying to protect their IP.
PUPPETEER HYPE
It's not a Switch trailer though; it's a Kickstarter trailer...
I don't know what to comment other then "What a coincidence."
I wonder what would happen if the shoe were on the other foot?

Honestly, I hope the game goes to other platforms after Sony didn't support the game enough...
Yeah, if the opposite happened Nintendo would merrily sue the trailer out of existence Demons.
I don't exactly know if it was the intention of this article but this kickstarter definitely looks of interest to me, as terrible as the console itself was I loved Art Academy on the Wii U and this looks like something very much similar to that. I think I'm going to back this one.
So can Sony sue Nintendo, or is the lawyer game a one way street?
@AFCC Ok I hear this take all the time but hear me out: Sony Remastered the Vita version and then Made Sequel on PS4. I think the faul lies on the lack of people buying the game and not Sony.
For all the people crying for GR to be ported to switch I hope they support the release that actually exist.
BTW I bought Gravity Rush on Vita when I launched. I and I bought both GR Remastered and GR2 day one.
This has just reminded me I still have Gravity Rush 2 to play which I downloaded in a sale over a year ago..
@Feena @lacerz still butthurt over a company exercising their licensing rights? That's pretty sad 😂
The adventure mode looks like it may fill the hole of no art academy games for me. Heckin excited
@clvr
What's sad is someone using "butthurt" in a sentence and thinking that makes them cool. It's 2020, not 2000. Grow up and let them drop child.
@lacerz eh, I didn't know words had expiration dates.
By the way I'm not even a native speaker, I learn from the internet and media and see it thrown around; also, I didn't even speak English in 2000, so I doubt that expression died out back then.
@lacerz Nintendo didn't make this trailer, so they can't sue Nintendo. Simple as that.
@lacerz If you can't clearly see the difference between a third-party kickstarter trailer very briefly featuring an image of a character from a Sony-developed game and a Sony-developed game allowing you to download and play software featuring first-party Nintendo characters, then I don't know what to tell you.
That dude needs some braces, but he’s got an upbeat, sunny disposition, so that’s a plus.
Ever notice how all the drawings on art apps like this are perfect and awesome?! The pictures never seem to match mine: stick men holding balloons...and flowers with smiley faces.
