That's fine. Nintendo would probably sue them for copyright something or other anyway. Like they do to everyone everywhere.
What does that even mean...? Sue them for an award?
They sued people for competing in a competitive game they made, so they're not above it.
Is this true? What's the story here?
Super Smash Bros. has a long history of contention with Nintendo.
Enough for something to actually end up in court? Because that's pretty specific
Nintendo shuts down Smash World Tour ‘without any warning’
Said tournament was going to have the largest ever prize pool of $250,000.
Not a lawsuit, but I agree that's pretty nasty
Presumably if they didn't comply it would have been a lawsuit
More like waving around legal orders against people who comply because they can't afford to challenge them in court. For this and other reasons, fuck Nintendo.
I know but the joke doesn't make sense in that context. They would not be using their property; they would recognize them for it.
I would be unsurprised if Nintendo tried to sue a Patent Office for looking at Nintendos name on their own damn patent submission.
At this point they'd probably sue their employees for uttering character names outside of work.
It doesn't need to make sense. It just needs to paint companies in a bad light.
I mean whatever, if you hate Nintendo that's one thing but the joke is such a stretch, lol
It's not a matter of whether you hate them or not
You seem to have misunderstood what I said. I was being sarcastic, taking the role of the person making the joke.
