I remember reading that Japan is very weird in regards to patent law, there’s almost no oversight whatsoever even for incredibly basic concepts like a title screen but there’s kind of a general agreement not to sue eachother. Assuming thats true Nintendo is currently burning a lot of face right now by breaking that precident.
Either the British or American national anthems, they’re both pretentious as fuck and it’d be kinda interesting to see if something like that has knock on effects down the line.
