Nintendo takes console hack site to court
GameInformer reports Nintendo itself announced the suit, which was filed in Florida.
The site allegedly modifies Wii hardware to enable use with pirated software; sells DS devices like the famous R4 for the creation and use of unauthorised software; and vends unauthorised copes of games.
It’s also said to be introducing a device enabling pirated software on the 3DS.
Nintendo is one of the more active platform holders when it comes to lawsuits and has been particularly firm on the topic of piracy. It regularly advocates for stricter legislation against piracy. The DS is one of the most frequently exploited devices in the world in terms of copied software.

Rightly so, they should take them to court. They should think twice before hacking big companies.

ttghanmanFavism nintendo is the easiest to mod and get free games and stuff on. Maybe if nintendo was smart they would make it a lot harder to do this in the first place
Nintendo makes good games and they make consoles so if there not smart i guess you just called most of the world ret*rded.

LBK117LuckyOtterTollLuckyOtter Good to see people get what they deserve. Also glad they are not going after the people use it but the ones who made it.
I like they are trying to stop it but some stuff they go to far!
So your saying suing the people who are illegally altering Nintendo's hardware and gaining access to thousands of dollars worth of games is going to far? People go to jail for this stuff. They should be glad they are just going to lose money.
Altering a console is not illegal. The illegal part of it is putting pirated software on your console.
Thats why Nintendo probably wont win. They just want the money
