Literally, thank you. This is not the axe to grind with Nintendo. I don’t disagree with their stance here at all—am a lawyer. It’s absolutely fair use and would be a losing lawsuit.
Also, why the FUCK is ANYONE expecting a corporation to fight fascism? If you think that’s a corporation’s role in society, put down the phone and sprint to your local fucking library.
Only if Nintendo goes after something that could be defended as parody. But they know to choose their battles carefully, they only threaten legal action when they know they can win, and this won’t change those kinds of cases.

Now the big question is: can this be used as case law against future attempts by Nintendo to stomp on fair use and other parody works?
There’s no case, so there’s no case law.
