The Trial of Nintendo

Nintendo, the company we grew up with and loved for it's cute characters and intuitive gameplay will now tell you "Hey Nintendon't mod your system or we'll brick the damn thing". Has Nintendo gotten more litigious or is it baked into their DNA like mute protagonists and Italian Stereotypes? Holden is the prosecutor, Jake the defender (it is a Japanese company after all), and Mike the judge (sadly there is no Mike Judge in this episode) as we put Nintendo on trial to see whether this is a company that has turned on its fans or just protecting the brand like any good, successful company will do. And yes, Nintendo is a very good, successful company (please don't sue us). Want even more Nerd of Mouth?
