Charity? CHARITY?! That's money not going to Nintendo.
Nintendo demolishing an Italian orphanage because one of the kids was named Luigi:
Using games you purchased "without permission" is an insane way for nintendo to phrase that.
"I know you bought, and now own, your house. But you should really ask the construction company, that built it, for permission to host a house party, in it"
I cant wait for Nintendo to sue Italy when they find out that they made Mario italian
when im in a hating nintendo fans competition but my opponent is nintendo
Nintendo desperately needs another Wii U flop so they could check their egos
Nintendo would go after a kid caught playing their DS in the background of a news report.
Its very ironic that a company so "family freindly" and brand safe as Nintendo does some of the most heinous and morally bankrupt stuff.
the problem with making people even ask for permission period is that these companies NEVER get back to you.
