Posted on September 27, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
Last February, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against MariCAR. It was argued that MariCAR, which features a similar name to Mario Kart and has people dressing up as Nintendo characters while driving through Tokyo in go-karts, was infringing upon Nintendo’s properties.
The Tokyo District Court reached a decision today. Mari Mobility Dev., previously known as MariCar, has been ordered to pay 10 million yen in compensation. Additionally, Nintendo-related outfits can no longer be used.
