@Meemoo @luithe @Kyonko802 @Ronnie21093 @TopBep @lewdthewides Nintendo has a very weird story with Brazil.
The NES, for instance, was only officially released in here in the mid 90`s, the 8 bit Nintendo console everyone played here in the 80's were the clones like the Phantom System and the Dynavision, that was the main reason of the first lawsuit the guy mentions. Those systems also had the advantage that they could accept both American and Japanese cartridges, because Nintendo was so shitty back then that they made different slots so you couldn't use Famicom games on a NES and vice-versa.

I remember in the 90s piracy of SNES and N64 cartridges was very common, and nothing was ever done about it. Nintendo kinda tried partnership with another company to release the Gamecube in here, but it was very short lived, and indeed, they only came back with official releases after the 3DS.

Thing about courts in here is that they aren't very litigious, and they are extremely anti companies, that's why Brazil is always in those "top countries hostile to business" lists. We have very strong consumer laws, and those consumer laws are one of the few things in this country that works fine. Companies know better than to mess with the "Consumer Defense Code", a lot of companies that get away with monopolistic or anti consumer practices in other countries (specially the USA) tend to get absolutely screwed in here, and they usually have to develop some special sets of rules to accomodate us. And so, whenever Nintendo tries to be litigious and sue for piracy bullshit, they tend to get absolutely screwed. This goes even harder for Nintendo because Nintendo doesn't have any plants in Brazil, and the government doesn`t like that, so every time they try to be litigious courts go against them.
