This doesn't seem exhaustive though I guess I'd be super impressed if it were. For example I watched a pokemon dataset get taken down then go back up under a new name a couple times from huggingface sometime in 2023-24, fairly certain they were getting c&d

Somehow expected to see way more cases given the page covers even the ancient ones (1989).

Some of the cases are so ridiculously evil, I'm beginning to think they have black marketing division that mostly consists of lawyers.

I’m guessing this is just cherry picking cases that go against the mood of the community. I bet there’s a mountain of C&Ds not listed for less objectionable violations such as the Mario shovelware slop littering app stores for years.

This really sucks. I can see why they are protective of the IP, but some fan games seems entirely harmless as long as it's not being monetized.

Not all suits but threatened suits. Nintendo claimed ownership of world maps in platform games ala Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World. If you were making a game that had one in the early 90s and you were shipping in Nintendo you got a letter that in so many words said, "Change your game or get sued AND lose your permission to publish on NES/SNES/Gameboy"

Nintendo also claimed a patent on showing a ghost image of your previous race (the ghost car in Mario Kart)

I expected to see way more cases considering Nintendo's reputation. Are there cases missing?

Are we allowed to call Nintendo the big N now? Asking for a friend.

impossible to read.

"Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, the developer of Palworld, alleging patent infringement related to game mechanics similar to those in Pokémon games."

Sony should have been mentioned in this description. Last I heard, they've been backing Palworld, in an attempt to get a lucrative not-Pokemon on their platform https://www.ign.com/articles/palworld-dev-signs-deal-with-so... It's an interesting proxy war

Google Gemini by mistake let me generate this image of mario hanged, I know it was by mistake because further attempts always throwed unspecific legal reasons, even if nothing that could be perceived as violent was included, I think I am gonna put it on a t-shirt soon, if for any reason someone here wants it here it is: https://i.imgur.com/j4ebG2D.png

I think this falls under the fair use doctrine for being a satiric piece (says "nintendont" instead of nintendo) but you never know these days.
