Things are running hot here and I didn’t want a usefully angry ally to waste a bullet on Bowser when there are [ redacted ] Administration [ redacted ] jury [ redacted ].

Yes, because of the over-the-top “personally traveled” bit… and it’d likely end with DMCA.

Though looking at just one list of Nintendo’s mass takedown of free fan-games, it seems very likely* it directly resulted in many children being terribly upset (and maybe thinking they’ll be sued/jailed)… even if they made their own assets, just because they included a trademarked term in the title/description for something they just wanted to share with their friends. (I’m sure many did use assets, but we are likely talking about decades-old material here)

So it’s not that big of a stretch, it’s just not guaranteed that we’d hear this much about it.

*= judging by FNAF/sonic crossovers, content/spelling of titles, creepypasta stuff, and likely terrible art if you can still find more than a URL

Given that Nintendo does this sort of thing routinely and, possibly, for sport… no, it is not obvious.

It was definitely intended as a joke, originally, but when this meme was first made a few years ago, there were quite a few people sharing it as entirely serious and true.

This is text, where vocal tone and human body language has been removed. Ingenting är ovvio che è* uno scherzo , niente som helst 😂

There, I used text to explain myself and it should have been obvious to you. Did you understand? Nääää??

No, turducken, nothing is ever obvious. Assuming that it is reveals what jubs id oweaib upi Aew 😘

*maybe I should have used the subjunctive here but I forget the rules

If you had a nickel for every time a Bowser was involved with Nintendo, you still wouldn’t have enough money to pay the charges.

And drop him into a pit of lava!
