Nintendo takes console hack site to court

4.6
Nintendo has filed suit against the owner of hackyourconsole.com, a site which probably doesn’t need much explanation.

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.

LuckyOtter 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.
