Apparently the story goes that this 20-25 year old bottle was found in 2016(?), which went viral online, and Nintendo wound up sending the guy an unopened SNES anyway. (Plus a bunch of other stuff)
Mine was a joke. I read the post. (For anyone who doesn't know, Nintendo is very litigious and sues individuals often for piracy. They have the legal right to do so, but other companies kind of ignore the piracy scene. Nintendo is very protective. They are often vicious in seeking punitive damages.)
