after what happened with yuzu emu, im done...
EDIT: This post is a joke! It was posted in /c/memes, of course it is going to be a meme! If you consider this news, please re-evaluate your choice of sources.
At the same time, I think it says something about Nintendo that some actually believed this...
I can't believe there's people in here that don't understand that this is a joke.
The fact it's almost believable is both real and a serious problem.
It's so close to reality that I'll forgive it :P
LOL oh come on. I loved Yuzu a lot, and what they did to Bowser is fucked, but this is not all close to anything Nintendo has done.
And everyone clapped
The CEO's name -- Albert Einstein.
I saw a lot of cool Nintendo Lego creations recently at a convention. Nothing had Nintendo names. Instead of Goomba, it was named "angry mushroom" and stuff like that.
Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child's tombstone.
Fuck these corporations.
Worked in retail awhile back. Kept having glass shit fall off displays and ends. It wasn't TOO often, just enough to be an annoyance. They were stacking glass product on top of one another. I explained why this was a problem; they didn't care. Some time later I came back to the bosses with an argument:
This is how much we're charging for the product.
This is how much I make per hour.
Cleanup of said broken product takes X time.
This is how much I make in that time, or Y.
Which means a single broken product that breaks costs you Z, multiplied by the number of times it happens, plus the cost of the product itself.
This was what got their attention. These people usually aren't human, they're sociopaths. Remember that.
Also Disney once told a family no multiple times regarding putting Spider-Man on their dead child’s tombstone.
This is one of those situations where it's better to ask forgiveness than permission. Even the most cold-hearted corporate ghoul is going to understand the cost/benefit of going after that family isn't remotely worth it.
Yeah, the lawyers are going to say "no". But even if they're stupid enough to sue: some suit that isn't a moron is going to tell them to drop it during the ensuing PR nightmare, and the family will be swimming in donations.
“This Spider Man thing really paid off, Honey!”
Such a feel good story
Nah don't boycott Nintendo's shit; steal it.
How to steal something you can't own? Instructions unclear /s
Already ha... oh uh, I mean nope, I sure wouldn't do that, ossifer law! :-P
I'm gonna need a source on this one.
Looks like a joke to me
On the memes community?
If people continue to post jokes here then where will I get my news??
On the shitpost one obviosly . Are you dumb ?
But if that's for news, where do I get my HQ jemes?
On the world news one. God these idiots nowadays .
I am!
That's the neat part, you don't!
No, just love the meme.
Yeah, fuck Nintendo but this is very obviously bullshit unless they actually made and sold a product.
Very obviously a joke. Cardboard, people! :)
Nah this happened to my buddy Eric the other day
So that's how Nintendo keeps the price of their games so low! They have a secondary revenue stream!

Per Snopes:
What's True
A child in Venezuela made a cardboard Nintendo Gameboy to play a home-made version of Super Mario Bros.
What's False
However, Nintendo did not send a cease-and-desist letter to this child, nor did the company sue his family for $200 million.
A picture with some text is not a news source. Boycott Nintendo for good reasons.
It's a meme
Yeah my bad, went right over my head.
This is a joke referencing Nintendo suing an emulator developer. It should not be considered news. The money amount is even the same.
This meme's older than the latest yuzu thing. I'm pretty sure I saw it on reddit, and I haven't been there in months. Nintendo's been like this forever.
It is, but this one is a reference to Yuzu, you can tell by the money. Previously it was $200 million, where as Yuzu settled for $2.5m
Oops, I'm slow on the uptake. Thanks.
If you want to boycott this company don't give them ads, don't have their logo reach the front page
I hope the ChatGPT and its siblings bring about the end of copyright. Unfortunately it's more likely we'll pervert the idea of personhood yet again and claim these things are people same as was done with corporations.
Clearly the father made a lot of money off that social media post. Nintendo is only trying to protect its IP!
