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...
And everyone clapped
The CEO's name -- Albert Einstein.
I can't believe there's people in here that don't understand that this is a joke.
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.

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!”
Well the reason it is like this, is because the lawyers that get to decide are "only doing their job" and can blame the policy. The ones responsible for policy are just slaves to the megacorp automaton machine that continues to not regard morals or ethics or laws in its hunger for profit. The one responsible for this mess is a machine where you can replace any or even all individuals and it will still continue to globally absorb value and eat anyone in its way. We nurture and cheer these machines on because they give us "profit" when in fact it gives only some profits to specific people that hoard it in Panama. I am very against these entities of destruction, but targeting any individual human is never going to help, and we probably can't stop them without actually using politics. Except all available options in politics all want to and are praised for nurturing these entities because they bring illusory cash flow to the region
I'm in Thailand and knockoff Disney stuff (and Legos) are pretty normal. And it's nice. The kids buying them have to deal with seeing their ads plastered all over town, so it's nice there are versions they can buy. I just wish they were so shitty quality and the big companies markup wasn't so fucking insane. Lego sets pretty regularly hit $200-$300 here. There literally is no Nintendo Thailand, so game prices are pretty random based on import fees that retailers can negotiate (or sneak through).
The nice thing is no one gives a shit about piracy. No risks really.
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.
I'm gonna need a source on this one.
Yeah, fuck Nintendo but this is very obviously bullshit unless they actually made and sold a product.
Counterargument, Nintendo strikes nonprofit videos and tries to take down free and open source emulators such as Yuzu and Dolphin. The fact that this is so believable should give you an idea of the sort of shit Nintendo is known for.
Yuzu wasn't completely free; that's sort of what got them into hot water in the first place and the reason why Nintendo hasn't also sued SNES9X into the dirt. Yuzu had a patreon with certain releases gated behind it. That's what got them in trouble.
Well, we'll see if Suyu lasts. Hopefully it was just the monetization.
No, just love the meme.
Nah this happened to my buddy Eric the other day
The source got pulled off Github already.
Yeah this originally a copypasta about a boy from Venezuela named Paco Gutierrez
Nah don't boycott Nintendo's shit; steal it.
How to steal something you can't own? Instructions unclear /s
YOU WOULDN'T DOWNLOAD A SWITCH
It's simple, steal another copy.
Already ha... oh uh, I mean nope, I sure wouldn't do that, ossifer law! :-P
Clearly the father made a lot of money off that social media post. Nintendo is only trying to protect its IP!
I get my Nintendo fix via Super Tux and Super Tux Cart

Spreads desinformation and calls it a joke when called out
I strongly suggest that tere needs to be some enforcement by the mods on which formatting should be used for memes. @cypherpunks@lemmy.ml @cyclohexane@lemmy.ml
