RTA in Japan announced that first-party Nintendo games will not be included at its upcoming speedrunning event due to licensing requirements imposed by Nintendo. Previously, Nintendo games like Super Mario 64 were popular at RTA events. On June 13, Nintendo informed RTA, now a legal entity, that they must seek permission for any Nintendo games at future events, as past usage was deemed unauthorized. This requirement followed RTA's official recognition as a non-profit, prompting the need for individual agreements for game use.
