Universal's own legal history led to their downfall, however, after Nintendo's lawyer John Kirby pointed out that Universal had argued that King Kong was in public domain for its 1976 remake - a move that led to Kirby's name being honored with a Nintendo hero of his own. The court found in Nintendo's favor, and it appears as though Universal and Nintendo have buried the hatchet, given that the pair are making a Mario movie together and building a Nintendo theme park in Universal Studi

There are some good things about the van, but you may want something versatile — PUBG has plenty of great vehic


Noriega's lawsuit was certainly a bizarre one, particularly when he suggested that the game depicted him as " the culprit of numerous fictional heinous crimes " including murder. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the lawsuit was thrown out in October 2014, meaning that a potential freedom of speech legal minefield over the depiction of historical figures in games was avoided.
