Nintendo is one of those companies that protects its IPs with an entire pack of Cerberuses. Because they’re a regressive and insular company at heart. I’ve no doubt Cline probably put in a bunch of Nintendo references in the first draft and was then told by his fabled editor and the army of namecheck lawyers from the publishing house to take them out or the Big N was gonna sue the gently caress out of them.

Then why no Sega references either, though? Master System might not have been huge, but it wasn't nothing.

I really do think the "Cline just doesn't care about videogames post-crash" idea is just as likely as it being fear of Nintendo's lawyers.
