    Given that Nintendo probably doesn’t develop Medabots games, wouldn’t that not be Nintendo that committed piracy in that case?

    Just looked it up – not even published by Nintendo.

      It isn’t eBay where anybody can sell anything. Nintendo curates and specifically authorizes all games sold on the platform, and they also license the right to emulate their legacy hardware in commercial releases on their platform.

      They charged money to allow the sale of pirated software.

        I think that’s a bit of a stretch. To what extent do you think Nintendo was aware of the particular details in this situation?
