Why wouldn't Nintendo accept a deal from a third party copyright monitoring service to use a crappy automated "AI" tool to shotgun blast DMCA requests to ROM sites? AI is the new tech buzzword and CEOs love it. Markmonitor and the ESA aren't nobodies. They're well-established figures in the online copyright scene and they wouldn't send requests if they weren't authorized to act on behalf of rights holders.

This is all very strange. Why would Nintendo remove a game like Donkey Kong Land 3, but not Kirby's Dream Land? Why on earth would they care if a website has the box art and a couple random screenshots of Wario Land, but not dare touch Wario Land 2's entry? This reeks of a copyright troll.
