Nintendo is coming for your ‘inappropriate’ parodies—if the company can, that is

Nintendo and litigation go hand in hand like Mario and Peach, which has tarnished the company’s family-friendly image among adult fans. Now, however, Nintendo has taken aim at an entirely different subset of adult fans by vowing to take “appropriate action” against those who use Nintendo IP inappropriately.

This means exactly what you think it means. After coming for emulators and allegedly going after Garry’s Mod, Nintendo might be bringing its legal forces against perhaps the only thing keeping a lot of people over 30 interested in their games: the porn. Not to put too fine a point on it, but people have been horny for Nintendo characters since a pixelated Pauline first strutted onscreen in 1981. Doing something about it now seems too little, too late, but if there is a video game company out there with the capital and the single-minded devotion to brand image required to sue NSFW creators into oblivion, it’s Nintendo.
