    Default Nintendo continues piracy fight with lawsuit against hacked goods retailer


    Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against HackYourConsole.com, a site that offers DS and 3DS flashcarts, devices that allow owners to play pirated games on their systems.

    Nintendo's press release to the media stated that the site "has developed a global business focused on selling unauthorized copies of Nintendo games and game-copying devices (such as the R4 device) used to circumvent the technological protection measures contained in the Nintendo DS family of hand-held systems." One of the products offered on the site is a portable hard drive that's pre-loaded with 200 Wii games. Which, you know, is probably super-illegal.

    "The website operator, for a fee, also provides services to hack and modify the Wii console and allow the play of illegal software," Nintendo added.

    Nothing is permitted, everything is true.
