| Nintendo Shuts Down Princess Peach Adult Game With Copyright Claim |
Back in 2012, a fan named Ivan Aedler developed a very NSFW game and then made it available online for everyone to play for free. Aedler would update his project on a regular basis until it was recently taken down by a DMCA notice.
For past eight years, his fan-made erotic game starring Princess Peach was getting millions of views across various adult sites. As soon as Nintendo came to know about its existence, they struck his former Github page for copyright.
When and if you visit his page, there is nothing but a public notice letter by Aedler stating the following.
The copyrighted works are Nintendo’s characters and audio-visual works from its Super Mario video game franchise.
Peach's Untold Tale lets you assume the role of Princess Peach and fulfill all of your naughty fantasies with other Super Mario characters. While dressing up in various costumes, Peach can engage in sexual activities however she wants.
Although he tried to label his Peach game as a porn parody that keeps it safe under fair use laws, Nintendo lawyers believe Untold Tale violates their audio-visual copyrighted works from Super Mario franchise and its known characters.
Nintendo obviously took issues seeing everyone's beloved, lovely ruler of Mushroom Kingdom getting in bed with every other Mario characters and therefore, they had to take immediate action to shut Aedler's erotic project down.
When it comes to copyright or trademark rights, Nintendo is less than tolerant to any violation of their work, including Princess Peach. Besides, Peach's Untold Tale is not so family-friendly at all anyway and falls beyond claims of fair use.
