Nintendo sued Blockbuster twice as well. Once in 1989 over Copyright Infringement. Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Blockbuster for renting out video games without including the original manuals. Nintendo argued that the absence of the manuals constituted a violation of their copyrights since the manuals were essential for understanding the gameplay. Blockbuster countered by creating their own photocopied versions of the manuals, which escalated the legal conflict. The case was eventually settled, with Blockbuster agreeing to stop distributing the manuals. And then a second time in the 1990s over Game Piracy Concerns. Nintendo accused Blockbuster of indirectly enabling piracy by renting games that could potentially be copied. Although this case was part of Nintendo's broader fight against piracy and the unauthorized use of its products, it did not result in a major ruling against Blockbuster.

"Connecticut Leather Company." They had been around for a long time before they got into video games, and their name reflects what they did decades earlier.

The problem for Nintendo with the Game genie was on the one hand that they lost the power of how their games and how they were used. you never know what rubbish people doing by modifing the games (like health issues when you alter the frame rates/light intensity oder stuff like that) AND on the other hand you could argue beating a game too fast makes buying them less neccessary and renting them more attractive what Nintendo really hated back in the day when Blockbuster offered their games for rent for a fraction of the sales price. But do not get me wrong I am totally on the side of game genie for this one, cause the interest of the people to modifiy the media they own is more important than the abstract fears of misuse by a company selling us stuff

Every time you boot up a game-boy game it displays the Nintendo logo. The console checks to confirm that the logo displayed is pixel perfect and refuses to boot if the data is scrambled or corrupted. This is another way that Nintendo prevents bootleg cartridges, as the fake games would have to display the Nintendo logo in order to boot, which would be in breach of trademark and licencing laws.

Correction: 7 and i holdings is Japanese, 7-11 is an american franchise company. The 7 and i holdings was a split made when a japanese bussinessman traveled to the US to start a franchise chain in Japan, there were legal battles and the Japanese just made it their own property after those legal battles. Its the same name (roughly) and the same brand but its not the same structure or company in that sense.

Yes, what is "Coal Co.," Simon? Oh, you mean Coleco! I can tell he's younger than me from this mispronunciation alone.

It's an old joke I forget who originally fucked up the picture that created the meme of doing that, but in this case I'm 99% sure it's intentional as a running internet joke

Codemaster was great. I can't express how attractive the concept was in the 90s.

Miyamoto used the world Donkey for a stand in for stubborn, which is kind of an old-fashioned way of doing it even then, and he used Kong as a way of indicating a "large ape".

I well remember "The Great Garloo", (Not "Galoob" as Kevin misremembers.) I'm almost twice Simon's age, after all. The Great Garloo (by Marx!) was basically a robotic green cave man. Scariest commercial ever, back in the early 1960s.

Note that (some of) the limits mentioned here were specifically imposed by Nintendo of America. Japan and Europe had different rules.

Legal documents from Nintendo v Universal are available online. It went viral a while ago that from these documents, Donkey Kong started off as a Popeye game. Sprite size limitations left Nintendo dissatisfied with how Popeye would appear on screen, so they opted out of the license and crafted a new charater who would fit within those limitations.

There are a few kids that would play together in my neighborhood. One house has some bad seeds though, who both curse out other kids and adults, and the little girl (6) likes to hit other kids when playing. They are avoided by everyone as the whole house is occupied by garbage

The reverse engineering "loophole" is a thing in most courts nowadays, it's just takes some pretty significant evidence to prove you independently came up with the design. Some years ago a Mexican arms manufacturer won such a lawsuit against Hechler & Koch after proving they had two seperate engineering teams work on their new gun design, one who reverse engineered the latest H&K rifles, and a second team who built a rifle based on the knowledge gained but without knowing the original gun design.

Surprised they left out when Nintendo sued Blockbuster for video game rentals. And Howard Lincoln is Nintendo's own evil wizard.

8:00 At the fear of insighting Simon with a pronunciation, it's CO-LEEK-O Vision. I never had one but I did have an Intellivision which was better in every way. Back in the day if you wanted to sound futuristic you added 'vision' to the end of your product. Again, sorry Simon, please don't block me, I'm just passionate about gaming systems.

18:21 that sounds a lot like a trap street. They're streets that don't actually exist and they are used to prove whether a map has been copied because maps have a copyright
