And if court finds for gaming giant? It's-a me! Bankruptcy!

Mario has tossed blue shells at what Nintendo alleges are two figures deeply involved in the piracy and circumvention of the Switch console ecosystem.Williams is accused of being"a self-proclaimed Nintendo 'pirate' who has been involved in creating, operating, and promoting a network of unauthorized online 'shops' which offer to the public extensive libraries of pirated Nintendo Switch games for download.

The document includes a screenshot of the"archbox" account boasting on Reddit:"Most of us who hacked our Switch are, like you said, pirates and aren't going to give Nintendo $50 for a game." Seeing as just one of these"freeshops" Williams is alleged to run hosts many thousands of pirated games, do the math."Mama mia," as Mario would say.

Daly is also accused of selling Switch consoles with modded chips pre-installed for those unwilling to do it themselves, and offering a mail-in service wherein owners send him their console to have the work done then returned. Not only that, but Nintendo claims Daly furnishes the hacked Switches with"a portfolio of ready-to-play pirated games, including some of Nintendo's most popular titles such as its Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid games.
