Nintendo Spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said in a telephone interview that the appearance of Mario in the Rio 2016 closing ceremony didn’t cost Nintendo anything at all. He said that “I want to make that clear. We did not pay”. If you feel that Mario’s inclusion will mean anything significant for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Minagawa was clear to end speculation on that. He said that “[Nintendo] are not going to become Olympic sponsors either”.
Nintendo Didn’t Pay Anything For Mario To Be In The Rio Olympics Closing Ceremony
So, Nintendo, you’re not going to give the olympics a copyright claim?
dmca that shit god dammit
You took the words from my mouth!
they obviously had permission though…. which is a huge difference.
When most of the merchandising and mascots revealed are anime characters, it was obvious that Nintendo will not play a major role for the Olympics.
so mario just appeared in tokyo for nothing at all, Crazy.
I prefer the term “free advertisement.”
Well Mario represents a large part of Japan’s heritage and culture so there really doesn’t need to be a reason other than that.
his a huge global symbol of japan you freaks
What are you whining about now? Freaks? Who are you even talking to? No one is bashing Mario. You’re like a crazy old grandpa that has gone senile. Every now and we get an outburst from crazy ol’ Gramp BAA. Incoherent and usually random/off topic.
Of course not. Mario is a savage. He goes where he wants.
why is he?.
Silly Maro
Shrooms are for kids.
*gasps* Soon, Nintendo will strike at the Rio Olympics for doing something with Mario without their permission. The backlash to Nintendo will be huge while the fanboys will defend this! What? Nintendo isn’t mad? Oh so they only going after the little guys like those making fan made games that are homages to Nintendo’s stuff?
Took the words right out of my mouth, friend. Doubt I could have said it better.
||And we will never pay for anything else either, everything will submit to us…||

I love it. :-) I think that maybe it has something to do with the game Mario and Sonic at the Rio Olympics.
Well, maybe Mario and Sonic won’t be terrible this time.
