I doubt they will be sued. They are probably okay under the right to parody and satire; and Nintendo has nothing to gain even if PETA is breaking the law. Nintendo's lawyers would probably charge more (most big company lawyers get paid a salary, but get a bonus if there company is the one doing the sueing instead of defending) than they could possibly get out of PETA, plus, as much as we hate PETA, they have enough influence that it would look bad, especially for something like that.

Of course, PETA should go away, they are idiological morons who aren't doing anything to actually help animals...

Edit - Any organization that considers Pamela Anderson to be an intellectual giant is made of fail.

I agree with PETA, sometimes. Not for the same reasons they do, though.

Except I don't agree at all with their policy of slaughtering tens of thousands of pets each year.

Go vegetarian. The best way to help animals is to stop eating them. Today, it’s easier than ever to replace that cholesterol- and cruelty-laden animal flesh with healthy, tasty, and humane vegetarian alternatives. Order your free vegetarian starter kit today!

To sue PETA would confirm their existence as a real organization, and no one wants that.

female vegetarians are just fine.

It's the male ones you've gotta watch out for.
