Remember this ad for the GameCube’s Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door? That music you hear is titled “You’re So Cool” and was composed by Oscar-winning Hans Zimmer for the 1993 film, True Romance. Nintendo allegedly used it without permission, and someone just noticed.
A lawsuit was filed on June 12th against Nintendo for use of the song. For unknown reasons, however, the lawsuit was voluntarily dropped by June 18th. Maybe “someone” forgot about an existing contract with Nintendo? Or maybe Nintendo just slipped some cash under the table.
