    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/nintendo-sue-paco-gutierrez/ It was actually Venezuela and Nintendo didn’t sue.

    When you spread lies like these it hurts the credibility of the very real problems with Nintendo, like suing a supermarket or attacking the emulation community.

      LMAO this got fact checked i cant believe it

      fr tho, who would even think this is real? Would you believe an article titled “Nintendo sues Italian family for naming their twin sons Mario and Luigi”?

        It’s Nintendo. And it’s 2025, where real life feels like satire.

        So, yes.

      I dunno man, I put the wrong pipe in doing some DIY in overalls and Nintendo now own my house.

      They let me buy a sink back, which was strange since it looks exactly the same as the one I bought 20 years ago.
