Why didn't Nintendo sue over those videos of ICE "catching them all" with the Pokémon anime theme over it.

    Maybe they are working on it. First a cease and desist letter. If they do not comply or respond, then collecting evidence, preparing an attack. This is not a small company they would sue against, and Nintendo does not want to lose it. It takes time.

    I sure hope so. Last night I also saw an Ocarina of Time rip off, complete with Zelda music, saying something outrageously wrong like "Trump is working hard...." Not that I waa gonna buy the OoT remake anyway, but I'm definitely going to be pissed if they let that shit slide after everything they've done to the world of emulation.

    In most cases you have the right to emulate if you own the original game or a licence to play it (so if you have it on Steam you technically can).

    Otherwise, sail the high seas at your own risks, but law won't be on your side.

    Note : my own opinion is that as soon as the game isn't distributed anymore, you have the right (sometime the duty) to emulate, even it it means pirating it. But that's only my opinion 😉.

    Music rights are notoriously convoluted. It's possible that TPCI doesn't even own the theme anymore. (Or might not have to begin with. Believe it or not, that happens sometimes.) They'd probably be all over this if they did.
