Nintendo takes console hack site to court

4.6
Nintendo has filed suit against the owner of hackyourconsole.com, a site which probably doesn’t need much explanation.

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.

Interself Fair play to Nintendo.

Shouldn't of made a website on how to hack you console in the first place.


Making a website for it was kind of stupid, they likely made a lot of money out of it though


But they'll probably lose it all now.


That's if Nintendo wins, now I'm not saying they would lose from something like this but Nintendo did luck out in suing a website over a Wii U domain.

Ranzee I think Sony should have took whomever hacked them to court.

Fair play to Nintendo.


Sony pleaded to supreme courts to get many Anonymous relations removed of the internet so technically they did and failed because anonymous is still here

Selling pirated games was a stupid idea. They should have just stuck with selling devices that played pirated games.
