Nintendo takes console hack site to court
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.

XBLobbies The only thing this site did wrong was sell illegal copys of the games. You can alter any device to do anything legaly but what you do with it might not.
Selling pirated games is a pretty large offense.. i think they atleast had a reason to take them to court

Nintendo has just been having a rough year, console wise I would say is the hardest part for them this year. Wii U has not been going their way.
The Wii U hasn't been selling very well at all. I think they should start focusing a little more on the 3DS

You make it seem like selling illegal copies isn't a bad thing.

ShadowBoltDashieCokes Does it matter? I don't see how much money they can possible make off this. Just a waste of time.
I don't think Nintendo has ever been successful in suing. They lost a claim about a domain for the Wii U, they lost a lawsuit that had something to do with the 3DS(Don't remember what the lawsuit was exactly for) and then now there is this lawsuit going on.
If I remember right, it was something over the 3D capabilities that the 3DS has, and some company sued them over it.

ShadowBoltDashieDMNDS I think that's fair people shouldn't do that stuff to big company like Nintendo
Nintendo has just been having a rough year all around. But I don't know if they will win this lawsuit, it makes more sense than their previous lawsuits but Nintendo seems to be on the unlucky side right now.
Yea your right they are having a bad year. But we will see who wins
