Notice regarding the use of Nintendo Co., Ltd. games in RTA in Japan

2025-08-04

We would like to explain how we have come to use games for which Nintendo Co., Ltd. holds the copyright (hereinafter referred to as "Nintendo games") in RTA in Japan, and why Nintendo games are not being used in RTA in Japan Summer 2025, as well as our future actions.

RTA in Japan has previously used Nintendo games, but on June 13, 2025, Nintendo Co., Ltd. pointed out that "the use of Nintendo games by a corporation requires prior permission," and that our previous use "was without prior permission and constituted unauthorized use." RTA in Japan wishes to continue using Nintendo games, and has begun discussions with Nintendo Co., Ltd. regarding permission.

As of now, the decision has been made that RTA in Japan will submit individual licensing applications to Nintendo Co., Ltd. for each event and game. However, for RTA in Japan Summer 2025, we were unable to clearly determine how to handle this at the time the participating games were announced, so we have decided not to use Nintendo games.

For events held at RTA in Japan after RTA in Japan Summer 2025, it is expected that permission will be submitted in advance to Nintendo Co., Ltd. and that permission will be granted before the event can be used.

As a result of this, it is expected that the RTA in Japan game application guidelines and application requirements will change, and we will notify you as soon as the details have been decided.

We would also like to apologize to those who submitted games that were affected by this issue to RTA in Japan Summer 2025.

Is this related to the unreleased game Dog Eat Dog from Trilobyte?

It sounds absurd enough to fit the style of the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-7XOVXrO_Q

The speedrun category is for how many bingo boards can be done within an hour in the WaltonWare game mode.

ZR1X lap 6:49.275 (barely beating the GT3 RS, I'm sure the MR will beat this time soon) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic7qpuJtHK4

ZR1 lap 6:50.763 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20oDQHBrWSA

Z06 lap 7:11.826 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1yh7Ptrhwo

They used the American spec Z06 not the slower European one (emissions?).

According to Chevrolet, the Corvettes that performed at the Nürburgring were all U.S. production-spec vehicles with the only modifications being the safety equipment recommended by track officials. This includes a roll hoop, full containment race seats, fire extinguisher, and a six-point safety harness. All three vehicles set lap times for the Prototype/Pre-Production category since the ZR1 and ZR1X are not sold in Europe, and the Z06 was a North American variant.

Not sure what happened to this project, seems to have been abandoned long ago.

Anyone else have good memories of this game for some reason? lol
