    Seriously wtf is up Nintendo’s ass lately. They’ve always been litigious but the last few years have been pretty extreme.

      They’re like Japanese Disney. They’re nothing without their IP and they know it.

      They also know that the only reason they have DK as a character is because Universal dropped the ball in protecting their IP. If they let Garry’s Mod casually have a “Mario” character in it, it dilutes their ability to legally go after some other studio who straight up makes an unofficial Mario game.

        Or overcompensation since they acted on emulators and found out there’s more to this? Someone’s started another useless crusade.

      I wonder if there being an R4 style cart released recently for the switch has lit a fire under their arses

      Maybe they expanded their legal department recently
