RTA in Japan has previously used Nintendo games, but on June 13, 2025, Nintendo Co., Ltd. pointed out that “the use of Nintendo games by a corporation requires prior permission,” and that our previous use “was without prior permission and constituted unauthorized use.”
RTA in Japan wishes to continue using Nintendo games, and has begun discussions with Nintendo Co., Ltd. regarding permission.
As of now, the decision has been made that RTA in Japan will submit individual licensing applications to Nintendo Co., Ltd. for each event and game. However,
for RTA in Japan Summer 2025, we were unable to clearly determine how to handle this at the time the participating games were announced, so we have decided not to use Nintendo games.
