More On That Nintendo Lawsuit

posted by on February 12 at 11:48 AM

Last week, I slogged about a vague lawsuit, filed by Nintendo, against 10 “John Does” for misappropriating company secrets. Well, I’m told the lawsuit may have something to do with this.

Apparently, the game manuals for Nintendo’s upcoming—and crazily anticipated—Super Smash Bros. Brawl were printed in Seattle, and someone leaked several pages from the manual to Kotaku, a big time video game blog.

Still working on getting more info, but hopefully this nerdy mystery just got a bit closer to being solved.

Seeing as this doesn't leak any new information, it would seem the lawsuit is purely out of principle.

Seriously Nintendo, why waste the time...?

Just don't use that printer again- The loss of a (major) account should be punishment enough.

A sexy detective? Do they have a "sexy ___" costume for EVERYTHING?

She is sexy, but that's not the point.

There IS a "sexy" costume for everything. Seriously, Google "sexy newspaper girl."

Well, they have pretty plumber (http://www.zoogstercostumes.com/products/dg4040.html) and a sexy mental patient(http://www.zoogstercostumes.com/products/dg4022.html). So, I think they've got you covered.

"Sexy mental patient" is more Bellevue Ave's style, I think. It has his name on the cap.

@13: If that surprises you, you have clearly never heard of Harry Potter fanfiction.

I LOVE that the sexy mental patient comes in plus size. That's all my last halloween party was missing last year. A big fat sexy mental patient.

Also, I'm surprised we haven't seen our first Harry Potter porn.

At Pink Godzilla Games in the ID they have the Japanese copy of Brawl.

I am actually a little let down. I was hoping it was juicier than a damn leaked manual. Or at least a leaked Princess Peach sex tape.
