Nintendo in general is actively toxic to intellectual property in video games. They have proven time and time again that they will abuse it whenever possible.

If Nintendo can abuse the US patent system, it would seem fair for individuals to be able to freely infringe Nintendo's copyright.

(Note if you are making a Nintendo fan-project, DON'T ANNOUNCE ANYTHING until you get your first usable build ready for release!!!!)

Yeah it makes no sense. Did a deal with the devil I guess.

Fuck Nintendo. Stop buying their shit.

It's it because they lost?

Kirk Sigmon, wake up. You are in a Maoist country. The patent is being allowed to pass whether you bribe or not.
