Someone had to do it: Mostly False: Snopes
Wait… wasn’t it obvious that that bit was ajoke? O.o
Things are running hot here and I didn’t want a usefully angry ally to waste a bullet on Bowser when there are [ redacted ] Administration [ redacted ] jury [ redacted ].
A valid concern.
Given that Nintendo does this sort of thing routinely and, possibly, for sport… no, it is not obvious.
Yes, because of the over-the-top “personally traveled” bit… and it’d likely end with DMCA.
Though looking at just one list of Nintendo’s mass takedown of free fan-games, it seems very likely* it directly resulted in many children being terribly upset (and maybe thinking they’ll be sued/jailed)… even if they made their own assets, just because they included a trademarked term in the title/description for something they just wanted to share with their friends. (I’m sure many did use assets, but we are likely talking about decades-old material here)
So it’s not that big of a stretch, it’s just not guaranteed that we’d hear this much about it.
*= judging by FNAF/sonic crossovers, content/spelling of titles, creepypasta stuff, and likely terrible art if you can still find more than a URL
It was definitely intended as a joke, originally, but when this meme was first made a few years ago, there were quite a few people sharing it as entirely serious and true.
This is text, where vocal tone and human body language has been removed. Ingenting är ovvio che è* uno scherzo , niente som helst 😂
There, I used text to explain myself and it should have been obvious to you. Did you understand? Nääää??
No, turducken, nothing is ever obvious. Assuming that it is reveals what jubs id oweaib upi Aew 😘
*maybe I should have used the subjunctive here but I forget the rules
Beefbot, what the fuck are you talking about about?
Thank you. Still plausible-ish and still good satire.
This is the first time I saw the full video and I have to say - that cardboard “GameBoy” is a lot more clever than I expected!
Huh. The President of Nintendo America is actually called Bowser.
Nintendo also sent a guy named Gary Bowser to prison for running a blog that explained how to mod Nintendo consoles. I didn’t think it was even a real last name so it’s weird to see Nintendo involved with two people named Bowser.
If you had a nickel for every time a Bowser was involved with Nintendo, you still wouldn’t have enough money to pay the charges.
LMAO
Heartwarming ❤️
Now I wanna play a game where Paco defeats Doug Bowser by jumping on him
No, you’re supposed to pull the axe lever
And drop him into a pit of lava!
Had me in the first half lmao
Can’t believe I didn’t see that coming.
