Why is this in particular more notable than the other thousands of companies suing for tariff relief? (In particular, V.O.S. Selections.)

Certain companies are well-known for their legal teams. Qualcomm is one (often described as a legal company that employs some engineers). Nintendo is the other.

As a result, Nintendo's legal team is far more likely to ensure they get refunded, and quickly. They could provide a template for others to follow.

Nintendo is famously litigious and has the legal war chest to sustain a court battle with usgov.

I've never heard of V.O.S. Selections.

Nintendo has big fucking money. And it‘s a household name.

Say, they get pissed off too much… they could run campaigns just days before the election if they wanted.
