All this talk about letters.....

Post by HotDog-Cart » Mon May 21, 2007 1:52 pm

All this talk about "letters" got me looking for my cease and desist letter from Nintendo and Perkins Coie (They represent Nintendo in court and such).

I got it from working as a Beta Tester with a team of people who were making a a unlicensed and unaouthrized Super Smash Brothers clone for Nintendo DS. They ofcourse used Nintendo characters and names.

I finally found it in my room, under a few books.

It really shows you that, this law firm was either out of paper or too lazy to clean their color ink heads. As the Nintendo logo is GREEN with red stripes. Heh.

Here's some pictures.

(Note the last paragraph, basically tells me that the infringement can subject me to sanctions under applicable federal and state laws, and that I must cease using Any works of Nintendo's, and Any works that are similar to Nintendo's. Meaning that I couldnt even clone/edit any works.)

Why contact them? What they are doing is fair game. You were using a known franchise without permission. Now, if you created a game LIKE Smash Bros with your own characters, it wouldn't matter. But the point is you are using things without permission.

And as for the green, that looks kinda more gold then green, which makes a bit of sense.

The Logo still looks kinda cheesy....the ink lines through it remind me of the old dot-matrix printer for my old apple IIgs computer!

I'm not sure why, but I would have that framed and placed on my wall. It would make a pretty good conversation starter, and a momento later on.
