@Aronin SMT is a more traditional JRPG experience than persona. The characters are in a post apocalyptic world where there is traditionally a more good vs evil/save the world storyline.
Without the life sim elements that Persona has, I've always found the stories in the SMT games better paced and it feels like a more cohesive world. I personally like the press turn battle system more of the SMT games and they're typically more difficult than the Persona games.
@JayJ This was the end of the appeals process for the original case. After the initial judgement, the company continued to use Nintendo’s character costumes. They eventually did stop, but it was after ignoring the judgement.
The company was free to continue to operate their go kart tours and stop associating with Mario Kart. Had they done that then the initial award probably would have come down during the appeals process. Instead they got caught ignoring the ruling, lost their appeals, and now owe additional punitive damages that will most likely put them out business.
@AlexSora89 one of the older stories about it mentioned people crashing the carts and causing problems for tourists. This isn’t on a go-cart track so it sounds like a liability nightmare for Nintendo to be tangentially associated with. Let alone buy them out
@BenAV The larger amount ordered to pay for the appeal process probably has more to do that they continued to operate the same way after losing. Had they completely distanced themselves from the Nintendo brand during the appeals process they might have been able to pay less than the initial ruling.

They are both great series.
