KYOTO, Japan Nintendo has issued a DMCA takedown to Nintendo, threatening to press legal action if the studio doesnt remove its fan emulation project, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, from store shelves immediately.

While we respect Nintendos dedication to our games, it is imperative that Nintendo protects its IPs, says Nintendos takedown notice. We hereby demand that Nintendo cease the illicit production of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, which features unsanctioned emulations of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy. We feel that such shoddy reproductions only serve to hurt our propertys goodwill.

While the defendants admit that the slightly upscaled games arent the highest quality fan project, Nintendo believes that the collection is a necessary preservation measure as Nintendo continues to hold its copyrighted material hostage.

Were supposed to be celebrating 35 years of Mario and yet were not allowed to show our appreciation? vented Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser. If Nintendo cares so much about Mario, they should put some effort into actually remaking these classic games so we dont have to. Someone tell them to get on that, stat!

The takedown is the latest in a long line of cease and desists issued by Nintendo. Previous projects affected by legal action include Metroid 2 remake AM2R, an fan-made HD remaster of Super Mario 64, and Virtual Console, a popular emulator that featured ROMs of several NES and SNES games.

Please, we ask that our fans trust us and not take matters into their own hands, said Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa. If you want to play our classics like Super Mario Sunshine, you can do so when we release the GameCube Classic in 2022. We plan on producing nearly 200 units, so just be patient.

Despite the protests, Nintendo says it will comply with the takedown and remove the game from digital marketplaces in March. Nintendo promises to work with Nintendo to resell exact copies of the emulated games separately afterwards.

I am actually, but this was just plain stupid. What's the joke here? "Nintendo Sue's people over their intellectual property being abused so we should laugh at there legal team taking proper precautions" or "Big gaming company could afford to lose money to independent developers stealing their IP"?

I love satire, and realize that's what's this is but it's just not actually funny. It's just a dipshit writing and article for views, sorry I dont pander to idiots?

Nintendo makes headlines for all of the illegal ROM sites they sued, while using emulators in commercially sold products quite frequently. Like no shit they have to protect their IP but its funny and ironic, while also taking a stab at their artificial scarcity tactics (more specifically the mini consoles but Nintendo pulls this kind of shir very often besides those) and eliminating the virtual console and instead using these dumb NES/SNES apps for the Switch

You could just not click the topics, close your account, stop caring so much, read a book, watch your least favourite youtuber, bash your head against a wall or so many other things.

Drink plenty of water each day to stay hydrated.

Remember to laugh often.

Treat yourself (when you can afford it) as life should be enjoyed.

Tell someone you love them.

Develop a sense of humour.

Correct, Im choosing to voice my opinion in a topic I didn't find as funny as all y'all. Obviously dipshit mcgee is having fun trying to argue with me, so why not entertain him and myself simultaneously? I don't care if you thought it was funny; good for you for finding joy in this bleak world. But the idiots willing to try to prove to me it "is funny" are enough entertainment for me.
