R4 cards are officially illegal in the UK
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
In what Nintendo probably considers a major victory over piracy, the High Court in London ruled that the “R4” flash cartridges are a violation of Nintendo’s rights and the DS system, and therefore are now illegal to import, sell, or advertise for them in the UK. Unfortunately, the DS is in the end of its life and so it probably won’t have a massive effect on the sales of software for the system in the future, but anything can help, as there have been millions and millions of software sales lost to the device in the past.
Why was the card outlawed? In an explanation that makes a lot more sense than most people’s arguments of simply “It’s bad to do”, the court ruled that since the card must circumvent Nintendo’s handheld’s security before it is able to be used, then it is a violation of the property that they have made and therefore should not be used.
“Nintendo promotes and fosters game development and creativity, and strongly supports the game developers who legitimately create new and innovative applications. In the UK alone, there have been over 100,000 game copying devices seized since 2009. Nintendo initiates these actions not only on its own behalf, but also on behalf of over 1,400 video game development companies that depend on legitimate sales of games for their survival.”
Well, that’s a good enough explanation for me!

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 28, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ — De-classifying previously top secret information, Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) revealed new details today about Call of Duty(R): Black Ops’ release on November 9th with the confirmation of an all-new companion game for the Nintendo DS(TM) family of hand-held systems, developed exclusively for the platform by n-Space. Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Nintendo DS will put gamers in the boots of CIA-backed operatives that are dropped into the shadowy world of deniable operations with an expansive arsenal of weapons at their disposal.
“Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Nintendo DS is going to take the handheld Call of Duty experience to a new level,” said Dan O’Leary, n-Space Studio Head. “From taking the controls of an attack helicopter to flying an experimental stealth fighter jet, players will have a wealth of new features to utilize.”

“This game is a collection of stories based around the concept of time travel. When you look at something from a different point of view, everything can seem completely different. In this way the hero learns that his bitterest of enemies was just doing what he had to, among other things, and every cast member has a deep background to back up that storytelling. You aren’t an impartial observer, either — the player’s actions have the power to dramatically change history. We’re devoting just as much care to the boundless amount of side stories as we are to the main plot, so I hope you take the time to seek them all out.” – Satoshi Takayashiki
Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!
