Nintendo Cracks Down on Piracy

[Casey-AMN]

Well thank God- I've been calling for this legal action for a long time. A couple Nintendo employees have told me in the past this was coming, but I wasn't so sure. Thankfully, they finally cracked down. I can't tell you how mad it makes me when I see these things on sale at my mall. Good work.

Yah go Nintendo. You rock. Its good to see some company taking action.

Piracy is the little dark corner in the gaming world that we all ignore. It's good to see that Nintendo are taking some action.

I've seen stuff like this on TV ads for sale.

Not necessarily seen them out in the open though.

Very good to hear something is being done about it though.

Hey, Casey, are the ones in the Regency Mall what they're talking about? I've never went up to them, but as I've walked passed I've seen some NES games, mainly Super Mario Bros..

So, yeah, is that what they're talking about? I thought it was just up there to be played, not sold.

I got one of those as a present, I didn't know what I was until I plugged it in. I thought they would be the same game only with different sprites and game names. NO! They are the carbon copies of the actual games! I was shocked and I stopped playing it in protest. I couldn't return it because I opened it :(

I don't mind the units that have Hong Kong originals, funny pirates, rippped sprites, etc. They're usually a blast to play because they're so bad. However, actually having real games on there is a no-no. Shame, really.

Probably. They have them at "Avenues" as well. Yeah, if there's lots of games, a crappy menu, and a really bad N64 controller knockoff, that's the ones.

I always thought they looked a little suspicious. It took nintendo a while to crack down on them. I saw them a couple months ago.

[Da Ruckus]

I've played these, 76000 games in 1, kinda stupid, its 76 games repeated 1000 times with different names. Its fun and better thent the NES, because its 76000!! r0x0r!

I'll be applying for a job at EB Games tomorrow, I think.

Everyone has engaged in a form of piracy in their lives this crackdown is pointless there are probably millions of people pirating..
