Nintendo has been doing everything in its power to prevent any sort of issues with Internet predators with its Friend Codes system. Yet, the Mid-Missouri Internet Crimes Task Force is now sending a warning out for Animal Crossing: City Folk. Take a look at the video below…
I can’t even begin to say how inaccurate that video is. Have these people ever heard of Friend Codes? Since when did Tortimer become a predator? If anything, Animal Crossing could be the safest online game to play.

U.S. District Court Judge Says No Need for Jury Trial
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A U.S. District Court judge has summarily dismissed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Nintendo brought by Fenner Investments Ltd. Fenner had alleged that the Wii™ console and its controllers, as well as the Nintendo GameCube™, infringed on one of its patents (U.S. Patent No. 6,297,751). Judge Leonard Davis of the U.S. District Court in Tyler, Texas, dismissed the case on Monday, and ruled that there was no need for a jury trial.
“We are very pleased with the court’s decision,” said Rick Flamm, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President, Legal & General Counsel. “Nintendo has a long history of developing innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We also vigorously defend patent lawsuits when we firmly believe that we have not infringed another party’s patent, despite the risks that this policy entails. I would like to express our sincere appreciation for the tireless efforts of our legal team, which represented us so well.”
