Mentioning Project M, the name of an unofficial modified version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl to reintroduce elements from Super Smash Bros. Melee, by name on any of Nintendo's Miiverse channels will trigger an automatic ban for discussing "criminal activity".
Dragon's Lair

In the Amiga version of Dragon's Lair, the copy protection coder of the game left a message to crackers. The message says:

A message to crackers: Nobody wants copy protection. All it is designed to do
is give a program a fighting chance. Now we realize that there is a great
competition to see which group breaks this game first, however, if you do
break it, please consider this: If you let this game out early after release,
and there are few sales, it will be very difficult to justify followup games of
this type. Nobody benefits; not the developers, not the users, and not the
Amiga community. Please reconsider holding on for a while and not letting
the game suffer. The decision is yours.

This message apparently worked, as the Amiga version of Dragon's Lair: Escape from Singe's Castle contained an additional message from the game's copy protector Randy Linden once again asking crackers to wait to crack the game and thanking them for listening with the first game. This message reads:

Once again, a small note to pirates and crackers: I thank you very much for delaying the release of DL1,
but must once again ask you to please wait with Escape. We have tried to provide the Amiga community
with the best possible game for your money (unlike many other companies), and hope that once again
there will be enough sales into the future to support yet another game we are planning for the Amiga:
TERMINATOR! Please consider delaying your release of Escape. As more and more quality companies leave
the Amiga for the more profitable IBM, C64 and Nintendo markets, it is up to you, the users, to show
which computer is truly Visionary. Randy "Irwin" Linden

The game was banned from sale in Australia due to a scene where Spoiler:the character enters an adult film set where he can brutally kill the men and women there, with one man seen having sex with one of the women.

In response to the banning, one of the game's developers, Jonatan Soderstrom, told Australian fans to simply pirate the game if it's refused from sale in the country.

Within the game's code is an aggressive message aimed at crackers who were looking to release the game to pirates. This cannot be seen within the game itself.

Pirating the game causes all characters to wear pirate hats, which cannot be removed.

Mother
1
Attachment The NES prototype of Mother has an anti-piracy message, preventing it from being played on an emulator.

A ROM-translating group, "Neo Demiforce", created a ROM that circumvents the anti-piracy measures. They also added the word "Zero" to the title screen in order to prevent confusion with Mother 2, released in North America as Earthbound for SNES.

A demo mode was made available via the Japanese site that could be downloaded onto the PSP and featured all characters from the three kingdoms. However, just a few hours after release, a code was discovered that made all the 'Other' type characters also available for use. After a lawsuit threat from Koei, the code was taken down. The demo had a level cap of three and had only three stages, although all weapons were available for use.

As a way to deter software piracy, the player is prompted to answer questions when starting a new game based on materials found in the game's manual. Failing to answer these properly will cause a significant spike in difficulty, including a forced failure during the game's tutorial sword fight, starting with lower health and crew, and immediately being targeted by the English, Spanish, French, and Dutch governments.
