EA pokes fun at Nintendo!

[mixer82]

EA making a tragicly flawed PR attempt? oh no such a shocking development...... who am i kidding i can't keep this up with a stright face. this will go down just another thing that looked like a really good idea on paper, but didn't turn out so well. we seem to be having a lot of those this gen *shrugs*

Nintendo proably could cobble up a case agaisnt EA for misrepresention or some such thing, but there is a 0 to -13 % of them doing it for a whole laundy list of reasons:
-lawers are expensive, why pay them if there is nothing to be gained and you'd most likely lose the case?
-Nintendo is trying to build 3ed party reationships that will grow and be healthy, lawsuits tend to hinder that.
- The far christain right wing lobby. Nintendo does NOT fuck with these people, EVER, to the best of my knowldge. They let Wisdom Tree do what ever the fuck they wanted on the NES(while the could have easily sued the asses off them) and never said boo about Super Noah's ark 3d. The big N wants no part of the bad PR of pissing off the christains.
-back to Super Noahs ark 3d, the reason most of us heard about this shit 15 years latter on the internet is beacuse it was allowed to live and die it's own predictiable and quite death without a media circus. If Nintendo had gotten all up in arms, tried to get it shut down it would have recived so much press and news coverage that it would have sold a LOT more units. this would have incouraged more games with the serurity override and the whole messy cycle goes on and on. If you leave stupid things alone they will usaly be seen as stuipd and forgotten.

long and short, EA fucked up, Nintendo will pretend not to notice and in two weeks nobody will care.
