The big ones:

Now Nintendo is seeking the court’s approval to actually subpoena Reddit for user records. These records, if shared, could identify additional moderators or users tied to the r/SwitchPirates subreddits. Nintendo argues that these records are critical to building their case against others in the alleged piracy ...

In addition to requesting records from Reddit, Nintendo's filing also makes appeals for information from other companies, including domain registrars such as Namecheap and GoDaddy, along with firms such as Cloudflare, Github, Google, and Discord.

Kinda weird that I'm rooting for reddit, a company I hate, against Nintendo, a company that usually brings me joy.

But here we are.

Any time Nintendo is involved in a legal case, you can pretty safely assume they're probably wrong.

Except that time like 50 years ago when Universal sued because Donkey Kong was too close to King Kong.
