It is still happening with Mozilla 1.7.13.

Comment 2

[Andrew Schultz]

The nintendo site seems to be trying to sniff out Mozilla (might get confused by the Red Hat part or something), but it certainly doesn't understand SeaMonkey, Camino or Minefield, etc.

This still happens, although it now knows about IE, Netscape, Safari and Firefox. However, it does provide a "continue anyway" link, which sets a cookie, so the user experience is not seriously degraded.
