  Nintendo’s always been litigious and controlling of their brand. What they haven’t been (until recently) is price-gouging peddlers of derivative schlock resting on their laurels. They used to be afraid of low-quality games and rehashes diluting their brand (they witnessed the carnage of 1983). Now they just don’t care.

  I’m sure when they were a hanafuda maker they were a little less litigious…

    Given they were literally on the payroll of organized crime and happily profited off of blood money I‘d say it‘s quite ironic how they abuse the law.
