Nintendo Thanks People For Ratting Out R4 Retailers
Nintendo has been calling out to the masses previously to rat out R4 retailers. This was done via the use of an anonymous form that can be filled out with valuable information of the retailers.
Earlier this year, Nintendo announced that it and 54 software game companies were filing a lawsuit with the Tokyo District Court against companies that import “R4 Revolution”-type devices, using the Unfair Competition Prevention Law as the legal grounding.
The website Nintendo has set up has an anonymous form that can be filled out. Selectable choices include retail stores, internet shops, online auctions selling R4 devices. Another choice includes “game software uploads” – or those sites or individuals making DS games available online. There’s also spaces for dates and time, a box for details and another box for the shop’s address or home page.
Nintendo has announced that the information collected by this website has been “extremely useful”. Wonder what measures they took to combat these retailers? Hope that the information was useful to them that we won’t see shops like these around Japan in the future.
But no matter what measures are taken, piracy will exist ><.

I am not shocked at all. They pretty much had it coming. It is nice to see that Nintendo and others are taking out the time to thank people.

@ Donyea: Yeah. But I still think they should improve the DS set that would stop others from pirating the console already >_>
