As it currently stands no one knows. I’m hoping there is more I formation that comes out.So is it confirmed that it's Nintendo themselves or a copyright troll?

The fact that I could believe that Nintendo would do this makes it even realer to me.
drones fall back! we'll get em next time...
Nintendo is a special sort, even during the failing Wii U years we have the madness that was that youtube creator's program and the mass deletions.Amazing that without fail the console makers will get arrogant after a successful gen. Nintendo again antagonizes fans, such a bummer.
If this is true then this is likely the reason Nintendo is suddenly taking action like this, though no one seems to be talking about it.EDIT: Actually it seems a racist video involving Mario models in GMod might have gone viral? That's one way to get a company to go scorched earth on fan creations.
Not that I think it justifies nuking the whole thing, a racist meme going viral, and involving Nintendo's mascot is bound to get ninja geared to go scorched earthIf this is true then this is likely the reason Nintendo is suddenly taking action like this, though no one seems to be talking about it.
Confirmed real. Time to Update the Thread. NIntendo really is dead set on treating its fans like shit.
It's probably a lot of things coming together at the same time. A few things came to mind.Well this development genuinely sucks. I wonder what exactly prompted this. Change of management? Emboldened by Yuzu? Switch 2 launch preparations? Like with covid was there a swell of new PC gaming and the console market shrinking from the rising costs of game development mixed with the ease of switch, 3ds, and wii u hacking making nintendo want to take these measures after all this time? Especially with Microsoft and PlayStation putting their games on PC making the platform seem like more of a threat. Speculating is all
It's still a dumb reason. People will make all sorts of dumb shit in GMod and there is zero chance GMod users are claiming it's official nintendo stuff so it very obviously falls under parody. What next is nintendo going to try to get Rule34 nintendo content taken down?If this is true then this is likely the reason Nintendo is suddenly taking action like this, though no one seems to be talking about it.

Called it. The replies to the Garry Newman tweet being a bunch of "no it's gotta be a troll I know more than you cause I saw a tweet that was wrong" would be funny if Nintendo wasn't being such an asshole.People convincing themselves this is definitely a copyright troll because some emails don't line up with the usual public emails not from the legal department is giving me a lot of flashbacks.
(Not saying it couldn't be, but I don't really doubt that this could be real)
Honestly, the fact that he hasn't even contacted Nintendo about this makes me suspicious. He's already in the process of taking stuff down, so what's the problem? If he contacted Nintendo, and they said it was them, or that it wasn't them but have now been notified and expect him to take the stuff down, then he's already got a head start. But, what if they were actually okay with them?Send an email to Nintendo, Garry. Stop asking twitter.
update?
mm-nintendo.com is a nonfunctional link.It's pretty clear this isn't fake.
mm-nintendo.com is registered to MarkMonitor(mm), a company that specialises in preventing "internet counterfeiting, fraud, piracy, and cybersquatting.". This is Nintendo having MarkMonitor do what they do.
Seriously shocked nobody I've seen has done a simple WhoIs search on it then looked up the resulting registering company. It's an anti-piracy service affiliated with Nintendo, what a shocker.
They aren't using the "wrong domain", they're using the domain specifically for dealing with this sort of thing.
It's also not the domain in question, mm-nintendo.com is, and it's not a domain with a website designed to be visited.mm.nintendo.com is a nonfunctional link.
The MarkMonitor website doesn’t really indicate that this is what they do (the "piracy" reference on Wikipedia is over a decade old). It seems like they just do domain management these days.It's pretty clear this isn't fake.
