Nintendo Going After Japanese Firms

Nintendo has had a long standing feud with firms that play a role in providing a means for propogating original software the illegal method - through ROMs, and this time round, their hugely popular DS platform (both the Phat and Lite versions) are under fire by hardware that allows illegal ROMs to be played. Five Japanese firms will fall under this lawsuit, and they will be accompanied by 54 other Japanese software makers. Surely the M3 and R4 (read our review) will fall under the jurisdiction of this lawsuit. It takes great discipline not to download illegal ROMs if you happen to own any of either hardware, but how many people actually buy them for homebrew purposes?
