“…it’s Malo. This is a rare article brought by the pops with mustache… (note: likely Aonuma) So according to this, this story is the era of victory of the Hero of Time. The Hero of Time? …I don’t know the details, but why is everyone wearing green clothes? …if they’re of the same brand. That’s gotta be really good product appeal.”

Nintendo wins Supreme Court case against flashcart sellers in Japan
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 12 Comments
In 2009, Nintendo as well as 49 other game companies filed a lawsuit against flashcart importers. The case has been appealed several times since then. Nintendo shared another update about the situation today, and it’s certainly good news.
Nintendo said in an announcement that the Supreme Court denied further appeals on the case on January 12. That means the import and sale of flashcarts in Japan will remain illegal. On top of that, the defendants will need to pay nearly 9.6 million yen (roughly $815,000 / €748,000) in damages.
