Nintendo Infringement Notices 2024-03-12 11:20:55


Just a heads up, the Nintendo lawyers have been sending a lot of infringement notices for adult art featuring Nintendo characters. We are complying with these notices and this is a good reminder that original characters are always the best way to go, especially if you are creating adult art.


I haven't been reaching out to every artist personally due to the volume of requests but I thought I'd post about it here for the sake of word-of-mouth.

This has been only happening with porn currently. It started with adult games featuring Princess Peach (probably on their radar because she is getting her own game), then spread into movies and art that were using 3D models of Peach, then kept expanding more and more from there, to include other characters.

Well, knowing Nintendo's history, it was only a matter of time. I just hope they aren't pissed about the Mar10 fanart


Ever had to knock on wood? 'Cuz I know someone who had.

Next thing you know, square enix will push copyright against any drawings of their IP.

So does that mean all of it is canon?

I always associate Nintendo with fun.


In the same way I associate murderers with their victims.

I wonder, can adult art featuring Nintendo IP be considered a parody? Are they still able to do anything in that case? Or does the parodying art have to be loosely related to the subject matter? As I understand, maybe depending on the country, parody falls under fair use

There's no such thing as fair use in Japan, and they operate under the delusion that that applies to the rest of the world. They'd never win in a foreign court, so they just make pre-trial litigation as drawn-out and expensive as possible for their victims, knowing they can bankrupt them before they ever see a courtroom.

If it doesn't make you laugh, it's not a parody.

*Sigh* Of course Nintendo.

So Tom, when did they send a note to NG?


If that's the case, they could try to go after the prom websites for this. (An Edit: They should've done this to the prom websites a decade ago, if that's their concern.)

So that's because of some game (featuring Peach) being teased. Did they learn about this from YouTube or some articles?

Heads up:

As the creator of the character known as "Ellena", I would like it to be known that I too do not approve those who draws them naked, and I will personally message Tom to get it removed from this site.


Pin-ups are OK, but no actual nudity. You'll find out why in a moment.
