That’s fine. Nintendo would probably sue them for copyright something or other anyway. Like they do to everyone everywhere.

What does that even mean…? Sue them for an award?

They sued people for competing in a competitive game they made, so they’re not above it.

I know but the joke doesn’t make sense in that context. They would not be using their property; they would recognize them for it.

I would be unsurprised if Nintendo tried to sue a Patent Office for looking at Nintendos name on their own damn patent submission.

At this point they’d probably sue their employees for uttering character names outside of work.

It doesn’t need to make sense. It just needs to paint companies in a bad light.

I mean whatever, if you hate Nintendo that’s one thing but the joke is such a stretch, lol

It’s not a matter of whether you hate them or not
