Nintendo Slams Trump's Iran Video

0:00On March 13th, the Trump White House shared a social media video this week using clips from Nintendo's Wii Sports Game to highlight U.S. Strikes-on, Iran. The Postshel's cartoon me succeeding at tennis, golf, and archery cut together with footage of the military actions. Nintendo of America and the Pokemon Company had already pushed back against similar uses of their characters and past White House posts. The company is known for protecting its intellectual property aggressively through lawsuits. Public reaction has been swift and strong, with Democrats and others criticizing the video for treating serious conflict like a game. Many online are urging Nintendo to take legal action against the administration. This comes amid other tensions, as Nintendo seeks a refund from the Trump administration after courts ruled its tariffs illegal. Some see the video as a jab at the company while downplaying the Iran situation. For now, Nintendo has not commented on this latest post, but eyes are on whether it will respond more forcefully as the story develops.
