I never even used it once. Odd that this is getting so much attention.

As if I needed more reasons not to like Nintendo.

Truly turned into the bad guys they had to fight against in their early days in the video game industry over frivolous lawsuits.

Could you explain that reference please?

Here’s one of the more famous ones people know of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_City_Studios,_Inc._v._Nintendo_Co.,_Ltd.

To summarize, Nintendo was getting sued by Universal Studios because of Donkey Kong’s likeness to King Kong, name and the fact they’re both gorillas.

Ironically, Nintendo chose Universal to make the recent Super Mario movie.
