While it would be funny. Nintendo won't do it. They wanna be on friendly terms with orange boy so govco keeps helping them slap down ROM sites and prosecuting emulation enjoyers.

If Nintendo sued them, I'd actually be willing to buy a Switch2, just on principle.

The government is literally, and in an official capacity, posting edgy alt right teen discord videos. If I were 15 and a piece of shit again, I’d find this funny.

Oh I would be so happy if they manage to piss off Disney and Nintendo in the same week

From a legal perspective, this is copyright infringement.

From a PR perspective, if Nintendo did nothing, they are siding with this type of use and with those who used it in such a fashion. This may be good or bad, depending on how Nintendo actually sides. If they did something about it, they may he making enemies with the court systems, but they may be making friends with them, depending on how the court system sides.

Basically, they have precedence to sue, but whether or not they do, and what the outcome would be, is anybody's guess. But if this goes live, I would appreciate a heads up, because popcorn takes a few minutes to prepare.

.gov sites have lost the sense of taste

I'm outraged that Nintendo has a contract with ICE to produce pokeballs for catching suspected illegal immigrants.

Nintendo has a chance to be the best, like no one ever was...

Nintendo:

Nintendo should do to Kristi Noem what they (ALLEGEDLY) did to Gunpei Yokoi.

Trump prob wants to take over FED bcs getting sued by Nintendo whilst not in possession of a money-printer is not recommended.

Nintendo only targets weak prey, like customers, fans, and smaller competitors. I would be shocked if they even issued a statement, let alone action.

Lol I can't believe this is real

The video in question for those who haven't seen it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VI5tZoBZ0s

I hate to break this to you, but Nintendo aren't your friends and will happily lick ICE's boots clean.

EDIT: I will happily admit I was wrong about this. Good for you Nintendo.

Unless that slogan is trademarked (and even then)... dunno... ask Legal Eagle.

Remember when conservatives thought pokemon were devil creatures?

They have the ability but they won't because they spent the past 6 months bootlicking the current government over Trump's insane tariff nuke policies, just like every other company has.

Kia literally just got raided by ICE and they announced they were continuing to invest in the US not even a week later.

Most they'd be willing to do would be to ask Japan's ambassador local liaison to ask DHS to remove the video, which the ambassador liason or foreign diplomat himself may even refuse to do under fear of retaliation or breakdown in ongoing negotiations.

Nintendo will sacrifice its brand image all day if it means staying in the US market and not becoming the target of Trump's next company assassination in some convoluted political stunt.

If they did, I would save up for switch 2. And if Metroid prime 4 is released for the og switch, I would never buy one.
