Gaming giants Nintendo were recently sued by Hollywood production company Morgan Creek over a commercial used to promote Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on GameCube.
Anyone who has seen the movie "True Romance" (better than it sounds) will likely remember this commercial's background music from the opening scene. The track known as "You're so cool" was composed by Hans Zimmer especially for the film, and it was claimed that Nintendo used the music without permission.
Only days later however, the lawsuit was withdrawn. Whether they settled out of court, or Nintendo did have the rights after all, is anybody's guess.
