Nintendo successfully sued streamer Jesse Keighin for livestreaming pirated Switch games before their official release. Keighin streamed leaked titles over 50 times since 2022, including unreleased games like Mario & Luigi: Brothership and Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, using modified consoles and emulators. Despite receiving numerous takedown notices, he continued streaming and shared emulator links with viewers. The court ordered him to pay $17,500 in damages after he failed to appear in court. This follows Nintendo's broader legal campaign against piracy, including a recent lawsuit seeking $4.5 million from another individual for similar violations.
