Wow. Nintendo gets paid, and does not pass it along. I see a law suit coming out of this.

 

i don't think nintendo can get sued, because this stuff was probably stated in some kind of contract that they were required to sign before having their game added.

 

Oh Nintendo can get sued. In fact they get sued a lot. Your point has more to do with who wins the law suit. :p

 

Nintendo *CAN'T* be sued. No court is going to step on a contract, unless the contract has been broken. So unless a contract is broken, a court won't even allow this to go to trial.

This is the world of publishing. It happens in books, comic books, videogames, etc.. Publishers often set a number that your product has to reach so they can cover their costs first, and then after that threshold is met you can be paid.
