EDIT: This post is a joke! It was posted in /c/memes, of course it is going to be a meme! If you consider this news, please re-evaluate your choice of sources.

At the same time, I think it says something about Nintendo that some actually believed this…

    Per Snopes:

    What’s True

    A child in Venezuela made a cardboard Nintendo Gameboy to play a home-made version of Super Mario Bros.

    What’s False

    However, Nintendo did not send a cease-and-desist letter to this child, nor did the company sue his family for $200 million.

    A picture with some text is not a news source. Boycott Nintendo for good reasons.

      This is a joke referencing Nintendo suing an emulator developer. It should not be considered news. The money amount is even the same.

        This meme’s older than the latest yuzu thing. I’m pretty sure I saw it on reddit, and I haven’t been there in months. Nintendo’s been like this forever.

          It is, but this one is a reference to Yuzu, you can tell by the money. Previously it was $200 million, where as Yuzu settled for $2.5m
