oh i know. Their are tons of gamecube sites out there, and some try to make money off it, but i know they are trying to shut down the guy who owns the site, gamecube.com actually it is down right now. But the gentleman said that he had chosen the domain name before nintendo OFFICIALLY came out with the name of the gamecube. But i think they got him to take it down. That is what sucks about big businesses because they put down the small people that can't pay for defense teams.

I think if you start making money from your site then they could come get you, after all they are entilted to royalties. So if its just a fun site, help site, feedback or whatever you should be ok, but once you start making money off their product you better be prepared for a nasty email.
you using they logo etc could be seen as advertising for them, but if you make money then its seen as if your cutting into their pie, can be seen many ways but at the end of the day they do own the copyright on it, so be careful

just put a copyright at the bottom, they wont do anything theres probly thousands of sites with a picture of mario on them.

Couldn't i just say at the bottom of my page something like

Logo and Images are trademarks of Nintendo Inc.

Im sure they wouldn't care as long as they are given credit

banners dont have to be at the top, true they get more exposure there but ruin the flow of your layout being at top.
nice banner
If you ask whomever for useage of the gamecube images (copyright) you could maybe ask for sponsorship, its a bit cheeky but ya never know until you ask. If you expect your site to become very big, i would ask about the useage of images before it became successful.

You could get in trouble for using that supermario image. If it is trademarked (I assume it is) I suggest you remove it or get permission.
