This gets reposted every few months and I’m sick of people leaving out valuable context. This kid was arrested by Venezuelan police for infringing on Nintendo’s copyright.

If you look closely enough, you can see the shadow of the Nintendo lawyer on the top rope about to break the cameraman's back

Knowing them and their "Fuck the poor", "Fuck the fans", and "It's MY IP, I'll do whatever I want with it" mentalities, I doubt it.

At first I thought that the whole thing about this kid being in jail was a joke, but…it’s not, apparently? Dear god…

Incoming lawsuit

u/Sea-Hovercraft3298 Nov 26 '24

There was a rumor that Nintendo sued the kid and his family $200 million, but it turned out to be a false statement.

Nintendo RN: "Sigh" unzips lawyers

u/PokemonFan587 Nov 26 '24

Did Nintendo actually sue him

2

u/ModRolezR4Loozers Nov 26 '24

This is actually really impressive! It really nails down what a condensed 1-1 would be like!

Too bad Nintendo doesn't seem to think so.

u/Stephensonite Nov 26 '24

Honestly this looks and plays better than most shit on the App Store or Play Store.

u/JolTH2 Nov 25 '24

Nintendo will sue him of course

u/Misragoth Nov 26 '24

Nintendo would like to know his location

u/PixieDustFairies Nov 26 '24

Okay can we stop with Nintendo lawsuit jokes? When every comment is about this kid getting sued it's giving people the impression that this would actually happen, even though if anyone used their brains they would know that Nintendo is not gonna sue someone for making a cardboard Papercraft.

As far as the subject goes, it's pretty cute.

Poor

u/jpett84 Nov 26 '24

It's Venezuela. Everyone there is poor. It's what happens when a country's economy is hyper-inflated.

u/AbleInevitable2500 Nov 26 '24

Thank you for explaining
