Nintendo Bans Its Games from Japan's Largest Charity Speedrun Event Over Permissions
Nintendo has prohibited the use of its games at the upcoming RTA in Japan Summer 2025 charity speedrunning event due to a lack of prior permission, marking a shift from previous years where games were showcased without formal approval. The organization is now required to seek individual permissions for each game and event, leading to the exclusion of Nintendo titles this year. This change reflects Nintendo's increased protective stance and the event's growing prominence.
