     For context Nintendo was going to use some of his music in the next Mario Kart and they backed out last minute citing it was "too hard" for them. Fucking retards at Nintendoze.

     @charlie_root It's the Nintendo Nintendo because "Nintendo" is an adjective and this is canon according to MARIO HIMSELF

     Amplify is a legend in the Drum and Bass scene, he's won multiple DJ awards from different publications. Nintendo is taking the L and being the big gay on this one. Some midwit there probably had trash chinesium headphones or something and couldn't hear proper lowend frequencies.

     @p Those ads exist solely to comply with US trademark law. If someone challenges their trademark they point to those ads as proof that they have defended it, lest it slip into the unmonetizable void of generic terms.

     @judgedread I think the "according to MARIO HIMSELF" bit indicated it was facetious; Nintendo insisting that "Nintendo is not a noun" is kind of absurd.

     @p Big N will yank the Roms from my cold dead fuckin' hands. Assholes. And I still play mostly on actual hardware that I metrically maintain and repair.
     
     I suppose around 2003 I asked myself, (as I played SMB 3 on a DS) "How many times have I bought this Goddamned game?"
     
     The answer was 4. Four times. NES SMB3, SNES SNES SMBAS, SNES SMBAT+SMW and then GBA SMA 4.
     
     They made enough off me.

     @p You think they're joking but they're not. Read it again, they are very GONCERNED that people will use 'Nintendo' to describe 'video game.'
     
     These ads were placed in pro writers' magazines to scold them not to use 'Kleenex' or 'Xerox' to refer to tissues or copying, to pick two famous lost battles.

     @judgedread No, I just think it was a "You can't fight in here, this is the war room" kind of speech, right, where the intended meaning makes sense but the first read is apparently absurd. I remember what happened when people started xeroxing things, Google was upset that googling got into the OED, because you can't enforce trademark when the word is used as a verb.
     
     I get all that. Saying "Nintendo is not a noun" is still funny.
