Nintendo of America hires new lobbying firm to further fight piracy
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 43 Comments
Piracy is something that Nintendo has been forced to constantly battle over the years. Things aren’t quite as bad today compared to the Wii and DS era, but it remains an issue nonetheless.
Politico is now reporting that “Nintendo of America has hired Choe Groves Consulting to lobby the federal government on issues related to intellectual property, international trade and anti-piracy measures”. Jennifer Groves, a former senior director for IP and innovation at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, will lobby on Nintendo’s behalf. Since the end of 2009, Nintendo of America has spent only $50,000 on lobbying.

Nintendo of Europe posted a new message on its website with a holiday greeting from president Satoru Shibata. Check it out below:
Hello everyone! This is Satoru Shibata from Nintendo of Europe.
I would like to thank you all for your continuous support of Nintendo throughout 2014!
Thank you as well for always watching our Nintendo Direct broadcasts. I didn’t present them so often this year, but I still read all your many comments made during and after each Direct.
This year, I tried to attend as many game events and shows as I could, such as the Japan Expo in France, Gamescom in Germany, Milan Games Week, and Paris Games Week. In fact, I may even have spoken with some of you at these events! I like walking around game events and conventions like these, because I can really feel how much you all love Nintendo games.I was glad to see that many people enjoyed playing Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Even though I couldn’t attend the Manga Fair in Spain, I was thrilled that Pokémon generated a lot of excitement there, and that the TV news programmes picked this up.
